Loads of resources to help in the classroom GOGO = Pupils write three and then go around and find three more Consensus Place mat = Table of four each write their answers around the outside in their space and then agree on a common answer Question Pyramid - Template to help you plan your questions so that they satisfy Blooms Taxonomy and have a mix of higher and lower order questions. One picture starter to use for this and two prompt cards which ask students to give evidence. Reflection pie can be used where the group have to agree on how much of the activity they participated in and show it on a pie chart. Put it on A3 and then get them to draw a pie chart which they all agree on. Target Achieved label can help improve effort Yes No cards can be used by individuals to give answers or to display when they are stuck. Posters go on wall if you are having them run left or right for Yes or No. The dice number cards you make up and give one to each student on a table (up to six). You can then ask all the ones to give an answer etc.

C3B4Me Poster and Exercise Book Sticker Seen this idea which I've adapted for my learners. It relies on having your classroom wall displays up to date so that students can always see display related to the work they are doing. You have to work to get the balance right between not answering their hands up when they are stuck and helping them..The intention is that they should become resilient independent learners.

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

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.

I then split them into four card sets which makes each set much easier. Identify the triangles from their properties on the cards.

Triangle Types Classification Exercises Discussion Collaborative Maths Mastery Magenta Principles

Triangle Type Properties Classification Magenta Principles Maths Mastery Rap Battle Fun Activity Show the PPT. Have the discussion. Back it up with the the stickers the next lesson to get something in their books. Great for you to see what their level of understanding is. Lots of fun. Play some Eminem in the back ground and get them to rap their answers. Best answers so far ....I'd be a scalene triangle because I will have the greatest number of different weapons (i.e. angles) ....I'd be a very acute angled triangle because I could stand further away. I've thrown in somehelpful PowerPoints and word docs which will be needed to start the discussions.

26 different activities 41 files in total to help your learners can master what a triangle is.

Students tell you the triangle type asap. You challenge them on explain why. TriangleNamesPoster, TriangleNamesList, TriangleTypePropertyMatrixTable = help sheets, posters TrianglesSortingTableWS = Very challenging WS. Do as a collaborative table exercise or for individuals as homework. This is not my resource but I've adapted it and given you the answers. TrianglesSimpleFactsheet = I've adapted this from some one else to add a bit more to it. I always give it out to the students and then discuss the properties and the markings or hatch marks which can go on each type.

FIVE QUESTIONS TO SOLVE

I saw an example of a square with a couple of lines drawn on it. A couple of angles had been labelled with sizes and then the students had to find the missing angles. I got a bit carried away with creating more of these to use in my Maths Problem Solving lessons. There is basically 5 different questions -each harder than the last. Four of the questions are also produced on a one sheet of A4 to make a homework sheet. The original SMART Notebook which I used to create the diagrams is included so that you can adapt and change to suit your own learners. You can use this in many ways.... The SMART could be used to "teach" it first - it has a mix of other questions to build it up The sheets can be printed onto A3 and the students work collaboratively around the tables in groups. The sheets can be printed onto A5 or A6 to stick in their books and do solo. The sheets an be printed on to A4 then give to individuals to do. Afterwards scan them in and get them to go through and critique their solutions on the IWB - great for Maths mastery and Collaboration. Etc... The "create your own problem" has been praised for being able to assess the students understanding as what they can do is one thing but what they are confident at creating is often a good indicator of their progress. There is an error on one of the sheets. I've corrected the answer sheet to fix it.

This was created to exemplify how showing working and being able to explain every step was essential. The SMART Notebook was used to create the images. They are then on PPT as an easy way to you to present. The questions are laid out on A4 to print on to stickers. Stickers are useful because it saves times in the classroom (something which observers have noted in the past). Also I like stickers because I can quickly allocate the best question for individuals. Also after the lesson you can easily set another question to an individual by giving them the next sticker in the set. The answers are included and the task sheet gives them the instructions. See my other resources for the guides on how to complete these problems. The SMART resources is included so you can easily modify the original questions. Also get the pupils to present on A4, scan in all the solutions and then display on the IWB and get them to critique their solutions - ticks a lot of boxes for discussion, mastery, etc

Two KS3 examination questions on finding unknown angles on triangle diagrams. One is L5 one is L6 (Old NC Levels). You can use these in a variety of ways.... as a starter to test after last lesson or as a plenary as an assessment of progress that lesson. You can see that there are versions to print on A3 as I often start with a collaborative exercise where all four students work around one large sheet and then discuss the best solutions. Recently I have been giving tasks like these on A4 squared paper and then they all do their solution in silence. we then scan in the solutions and choose some students to come and talk through their working on the IWB. If I do a group activity I like to back it up into the exercise books so usually give it to them on A5 or A6 to reproduce themselves on their own. This can be the next lesson after the class exercise.

"Sheets" is a starter worksheet for tables to work on collaboratively The "New Stickers" are five different ability questions which can be stuck into student books as their starter or given out at the end as their plenary. These are really good for exemplifying Mastery The NewA4 is a simple WS used for some students

Two resources with different versions of one of them

Best Most Efficient Quick Routes Solve problems on angles on triangles Maths Mastery Resource Bundle You could easily adapt this to be the basis of a "special" lesson for a observation or interview - good luck :) The overall LO was to "Master finding missing angles on triangle problems" so I made up these resources. There is a Group exercise - usually done on sheets of A3 with the four students crowded around the table all working collaboratively to solve the problem and then an individual exercise for them each to do. You will notice there are differentiated versions. (Only differentiated by amount of work but at helps) The SMART Notebooks used to generate the images are included so that you can edit them to suit your learners. I use stickers to put the LO label in the book each lesson. I use my 50" telly next to my SMART Board to display the learning objective using PowerPoint. Don't worry I do use my Telly for more than that as well but it's very convenient for displaying the LO which ticks a box in observations. There is also some posters and help sheets to guide students. You will notice that I use a lot of stickers - it saves a lot of time in the classroom - which I've heard mentioned in observations is a good thing. This represents a huge amount of work by me - hence the slightly higher price! :)

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.
