Really fun lesson which the students enjoyed. Used in several different ways with different ages but the basic principle is the same...Get the the students sat in groups of two or four. Give them a set of cards with different sized angles on (between 0 and 360 degrees). Then ask them to quickly grab and show a set of cards which satisfy the criteria displayed on the PowerPoint. E.g. "Give me a Right angle crew" needs two or more angles which add up to 90 degrees. Winning tables (first or most creative) wins points. At some point in the lesson tell them to all grab one card and then put away the rest. Then get them all up and get them to make up crews with anyone in the room. Loads of fun !!! Note that Crews can be any size.. i.e. you can have a Crew of one angle or a Crew made up of six angles etc. The Crew idea seemed to go down really well with the students. I also downloaded some music clips from the cartoon to add a bit more fun to the lesson. I hand wrote the angles onto small playing card sized cards. Each table needs about 12 or so cards depending on what questions you ask. This can be adapted for simple stuff like right angle crews and straight crews or made more difficult like 360 degrees. I allowed one class to write on blank cards which added more and as a result of this I had a table who started writing negative number angles on which I thought was pretty creative. The two worksheets can be used to back it up afterwards so that there is something in their exercise book to consolidate the ideas. They are in Word rather than PDF so you can easily adapt them for your learners.

Golden nugget is a plenary review activity - great as when you mark the books you immediately have something to feedback on for them to respond to at the start of the next lesson. Alien Sticker is like Golden nugget - however - three versions. You see there is a colour version as I print onto labels in colour first and then I can put the questions on using the B&W printer. you could easily put the Alien images on the three WS. Domino Cards - two versions - for angle sums - pretty simple but ticks the box for Magenta Principles/Mastery. I usually back it up with a written version of the cards or "what have you learnt task" - see above The note fact sheet is to save them copying into their books The lesson plan doesn't quite fit all of these resources but I've thrown it in for free The true false questions are great for Mastery, Magenta Principles and Discussion. You could display on the board and discuss as a class or give out as cards to discuss in pairs or groups. I would usually back this up into their books with - "Choose one to now describe and explain in detail" The LO labels are all the ones I used for this topic. Don't know how useful they are to you but I've thrown them in.

Angles in Polygons Glossary Knowledge Test MCQ Senteo SMART Response NINE Quizes These are really useful. There is a progression between the quizzes from basic properties of quadrilaterals moving onto finding angles on regular polygons, etc.

Start of year give them the booklet. Go through it using the intro presentation. Put a sticker in front of their books Get them to discuss strategies and the "Discussion Cards" give them prompts for how to solve problems - intention is from this THEY come up with how to solve problems (you can then give out the guides afterwards) The keywords are just something I found on the WWW. Sad to happy is a discussion exercise to get students to think about how to get "unstuck" Couple other resources included. Hope it helps!

Massive Bundle of SMART Senteo quizes. Most 5 questions each. Some more. This will save you a huge amount of time!

46 Files Bumper Huge Massive Resource Pack on Angles

41 files - loads of resources to use for learning all the properties and classifications of the different quadrilaterals. I've quickly uploaded these from my jumbled folders! Open each file and you will see what it is. Often the worksheet answers are coloured in white font so are hidden for printing. Unhide the text to get the answer sheet.

Sixty Four files. You'll need to do a little work in choosing what you need but the basic idea is you set up a circus of probability investigations which the students move around and attempt in small groups. Each activity is designed to illustrate a particular concept. It's a lot of fun - I've used it many times but it's all a bit jumbled here. However it wouldn't take long to pick out what you need. Use the file "Each Task" to get what the activities are and then build it up from there. It's a great lesson to use if you want to have the students doing and investigating - particularly good for observations. I've thrown in a load of misc. Probability resources . Enjoy

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.

I've searched my hard drive for all Word docs made by me with the term "Keyword" Here theya re. I've opened them all and there's some really useful stuff in there - hopefully most are obvious from their file name but you will also find some gems in there as well. What I've started doing recently is always putting the keywords for that lesson on an A3 poster so that if the children want to use them they can look up to get the spellings right. Hope you find these useful ....I have found them to be.

I find that five questions is enough to assess progress and it doesn't take up too much time. There is FIVE different quizes included.

The PowerPoint has 35 slides with each detailing a children's party game. You'll need to prepare the resources for each one (some don't need any). What it gives you is 35 great tried and tested ideas of what has worked for me so you won't have to do the thinking. I'd like to think the games are obvious but ....Message me if you can't work out what the game is (but only after you've asked a few of your colleagues or looked it up on the Web!) I've found that if you choose a few games to get warmed up. then you can flick through the PPT and see what the children want to do next. Do the opposite and Kims Game are included as they needed a PowerPoint too. Have fun :)!

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.

This idea came from "andorian" who has a worksheet to prompt discussion. I then recorded the students ideas on this PowerPoint. Afterwards they made a "This is now a phone free school" poster. It's not that good a resource and its certainly not worth putting a price on it but it may help you and make things a bit easier for your lesson. Hope it helps

Exit tickets are given out at the end of a lesson. You need to amend the questions according to what you want to find out from the students. They then write the tickets and park them on a ticket park before they leave. I made these with a unique random number on so I could play some additional games with them. Golden Nugget = similar idea attached Mobile Phone = Similar idea = write in 140 characters what you have learnt. Post Card = Similar Idea = Write on a postcard what you know Target Achieved = Good for encouraging effort
