Worksheet with about 40 questions on whether numbers are divisible by three or not Answer sheet included Instead of them writign on the worksheet you could get them to write questions in their books. I've included a copy of the top of the WS on a template for 2 x 4 labels - Pupils stick one of these in instead of copying out the top of the workheet. They then attempt as many questions as they can from the worksheet in the time you give them. Advantage of this is that you don't end up with half finshed exercise sheets glued in their books.

There is always a confusion between quadrilaterals such as Parallelograms, Squares and Rhombuses. When drawn on grid paper they can get mixed up. Hence this activity. I've collected all the resources I've used for this so there is a good mix and you will be able to use/adapt most of this for your classes. Enjoy I've also added PDF versions of the SMART files (November 2016) If you like this then check out my many other activities listed on my TES Resources Shop (Stewsterthebear) which includes many free and Premium resources which will save you lots of time and give you some useful ideas. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/Stewsterthebear If you find this resource useful then please do leave a constructive review so that others can benefit from your experience.

Here is a fun differentiated engaging Bingo game where students are tested on whether they know their angle types such as no turn, acute angle, right angle, obtuse angle, straight angle, reflex angle and full turn. Students can choose their own nine numbers or the teacher can give out any of seventy-two randomised bingo cards. There are four sizes of bingo card depending on your preference and photocopy budget. Edit: After playing it in class it is better with 12 numbers per game if using the generated Bingo cards. They are now included as well - there’s 126 unique cards which make for a lot of games. These are laid out to print on to A4 sheets of 3x7=21 labels The slides provide six games of 24 angles (which is enough to provide a winner): The first three games support learners by specifically describing the angle type. The fourth game only provides the angle type and a generic description The fifth & sixth game (hardest) only provides the angle type.

Here are two sets of domino loop cards. You can use them for starters and then back them up with the matching worksheet or use as a plenary and then use the matching worksheet as the next days starter. You print them onto A4 card and cut them out. Then shuffle and give a set to your students. They have to rearrange the cards into a line order by matching the question to the answer. They are all questions like "The probability of getting a six on a fair die is..." The first set has 22 cards and the second (which is longer to complete and the questions are harder as well) has 34 questions. Afterwards (I like to get something into the student exercise books) there are matching worksheets where some of the questions have to be reworked out and written onto the sheets before the sheet is stuck in. There are two versions of each worksheet (One has more answers to put in so you can give to your quicker students). All in you are getting two sets of domino cards, each with two matching worksheets. Solutions to the domino cards and the worksheets are included! You could easily modify each of these card sets and WS to reduce the questions down to less for your lower/slower students. If you like and find it useful then please leave a positive review. Thank you.

It is what it is!

Indicates to your learners which of the five levels of noise are approriate within the classroom for each activity. Print out and laminate or display on your projection screen. What you are getting is the idea of the volume meter (which isn't mine - thanks to MrPhillips for that), the content of the text, i.e. the five descriptions of the activity and my idea to use the dB meter (which I drew myself). MS PowerPoint and PDF copy included. Please note that included PPT & PDF do not have the pictures for groups on (i.e. the 3D men) as seen on the thumbnail cover image. I didn't have the rights for those pictures, but you can easily find some to add in yourself. Search for "3D men Group", etc. If you like this then do check out my many other (mainly Maths) activities listed on my TES Resources shop and pages including many Premium resources which will save you lots of time and give you some useful ideas.

Tony cycled 3 kilometres to town. He walked 200 metres along the street to a burger bar. He ordered a 250 gram burger and a 330 millilitres can of cola. The burger was excellent, it was 2.5 centimetres thick. You read the students a story like above and then they write their own. It's very creative and makes great displays. Insist that use the specified measures. There's loads of different versions of theis worksheet from all the different times I've used it. Pcik the one which suits your learners best.

If you want to run a school playing card club then it helps if you have the rules for different games ready for the children. I've copied these off the web but they are presented in a easy A4 format. Also I've adapted the rules to be understandable by children. Hence it's actually been quite a lot of work. Enjoy

These can be used in so many ways.... I favourite is to write a question like "Mr Wrong said that Triangles have four sides. " Now explain why he is wrong. Other versions are shown. The A5 & A4 can be used where the students write several statements and then give to another student who identifies the incorrect and correct statment.. Enjoy

Three versions depending on whether you have a colour printer or not (I use the school colour printer to print the aliens onto the stickers and then bring them home and as and when I think of the questions I B&W print the questions on. If you have a colour laser then just print direct on the the "Colour" sticker. Also included a set of Exit Tickets for a lesson.

The key resource here is the "MyDetailedSolvingEquationsHS Update 2016" which is 33 worked examples of solving equations from 2x = 4 up to 3x + 4 = 2(x-3). It's presented as two sheets of A5 and can be stuck into the pupil exercise books as a reference. It's really good and many classes have found it useful. Everything else included in the bundle is similar worksheets which you can have a look at and I'm sure you will be able to adapt or use as they are.

The rabbits WS asks some questions like if there are 2x rabbits today and x leave the burrow how many are left. etc. The Mini Questions are a simple starter for students to put into algebra some simple expressions. The PPT can be used to show the possible answers for them to choose from if you need it. The starter.docx is a simple starter to get them thinking about different expressions. The PPTx is the answers. Explain These PPTx is a great starter to check understanding of different similar expressions like 4x and x^4. My AlgebraicExpressions is a nice intro resource for expressions. I used this by showing each slide one by one and getting the class to all write what they think the solutions are on their whiteboards. After playing this the worksheet is used to back it up into their exercise books.

I saw this on another teachers wall. Made it up for my wall! Enjoy

Really fun exercise for many age ranges. Originally I used this as one activity in a "Circus" of many activities which students go around the room playing on. (More of my Circus Activities are uploaded on my resources elsewhere) Print out the resources enough for each group (I split the class into pairs). Make up a bag of coloured counters for each pair. I used headphone bags from the music room, but any non see through draw string bag will do. I used "Multilink" coloured cubes. For ease I gave every pair the same number and colour of cubes in their bags - they each had 1 pink, 3 yellow and six blue cubes. You could easily vary the cubes in each bag. Have a whole class discussion before you start about what they think will be in the bags (you show them a couple of trials). Reinforce that they will spoil the "game" if they look in the bag (if anyone does look they need to be dealt with quickly in case they share the solution around the room). Then let them play and as time goes on discuss with all the tables about what they think is in the bag. At some point bring it to an end and then get them to start working out an estimate of the probabilities. Meanwhile collect in everyone's results and display on the Excel spreadsheet on your projection screen. Have a discussion about what's in the bag. They will be able to make quite a good guess about how many cubes are in the bag and should be able to come up with the ratios of each colour. It's quite fun at the early stages when some tables don't pull out a particular colour which everyone else has. There are two versions of the tally table. You can decide whether to let them know what colours are possibly in or not tell them.. it may then be possible for one colour which they have to never appear in their trial. The spreadsheet has got the results from my lesson however like all the files they all can easily be adapted for your own learners. Enjoy

Measures Imperial Metric Conversion Appropriate Measures Domino Card Activities and some matching worksheets. The main activity here is the "Follow Me" Domino cards where the question on each card is followed by the answer on the next card. The questions are for students to choose the most appropriate measure for a particular everyday item. Couple of differentiated versions to use. The task is quite hard if given to out with all the cards on the same colour so you may wish to print each page of the cards on a different colour - this makes it easier to match cards up. The picture version makes it easier for some students. You can play it as give a set of cards to a table of four for them to arrange or give out one set of cards between the whole class and then play it as a "Follow Me Card" game. Alternatively stick them around the room and then the students play as a treasure hunt which becomes a bit more energetic. Files 11,12 & 13 are just some different but related measures conversion domino card exercises.

Originally I used this as a short 10 minute activity as part of a whole lesson of many circus activities (many other of my circus activities are listed on TES resources) however you can easily build a whole lesson around it. "Will it snow this Christmas?" is the question. First just ask this question. Then give them the last five years weather data. Make a choice again. Then give more data from last 24 years. Then ask them to make a choice again. Then give them the answer sheet. This is a good activity to provide lots of discussion. If you put the cards into sealed envelopes then it adds to the engagement and hence motivation. Its the sort of activity which looks great when being observed - particularly if you get some good discussion. You may wish to edit the city names to somewhere near your school. I made up the data but you could easily find the records of a city on the web. You may need a discussion about what constitutes snowing on Christmas day (e.g. snow flakes falling on the roof of the local BBC news building). You could bring in about how people bet on this happening. It may be worth adding in some question prompts like: How do you know this? Why do you think that? Are you absolutely sure? Can you prove it? Can you now explain to me why you think that! What evidence do you have about that one? You could put these prompts onto cards and ensure the students use them during the activity.

Fun exercise for many age ranges. Will provide a good amount of discussion and is a nice next step after estimating and experimental probabilities. Originally I used this as one short activity in a "Circus" of many activities which students go around the room playing on. (More of my Circus Activities are uploaded on my TES resources elsewhere). There are several versions of the task here which you can adapt for your learners. The basic idea is that you give a sheet of card with a grid printed onto it. Players roll coins on to the card and if the coins land so that the side sides of the coin are not touching the sides they win. One idea is you give them a variety of size grids (e.g. grid A and grid B) where the coins do or don't fit in easily. I prepare a set of game boards (A & B) for each pair of students and give them a money bag with 7 plastic toy coins in (1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, £1). You could use real money or even £2 coins if you have them. 2p is a large coin but isn't worth much so its makes it hard to win, but if you only win your stake back then you don't win much. £2 is a large coin and is worth lots so its makes it hard to win, but if you only win your stake back then you win loads. If you are doing this as a 10 minute circus activity then keep it simple. If you are doing it as a more extended piece of work then use the updated task sheet which asks the students to work out how to make the most money. Higher students will need encouragement to keep the game rules simple. Lower students will need encouragement to keep it really simple. You may choose to give them a reduced version of the problem. You can see that I then for the next lesson typed their suggestions into a worksheet which they then started the next lesson by answering the worksheet. I think there is a lot of potential here to really develop the idea of how to test the games... e.g. they need to try 100 goes with each size coin, etc. The activity certainly gets them discussing whether games are 'attractive' to play and so will bring in more money. The students usually feel that a high prize will make people want to play - even if the game is difficult to win. You could easily extend this activity into GCSE level maths to work out the profits possible.
