Trigonometry - Card sort - all three ratios - all three types (labelled bronze; silver; gold)

Crossword. Fairly tough.

James Bond Skyfall 007 Transformations Revision Starter Plenary Main Activity

A simple taxonomy activity. It might be upgraded by duplicating the sheet for years from 1937 through to 1945. It is left to colleagues to debate whether the Anschluss and similar events represented an invasion or not; and whether Spain and other countries were truly neutral.

Explore the poem (you're free to use it if you don&'t derive financial profit from it without sharing that profit with the author!); then invite your pupils to develop their own fractal poems. Maybe another one for triangles. Maybe have them write one using squares. It might be fun to extend the fractal! If you/they can: a proper challenge! :-) P.S. The first verse is explained if you make a hole at the top of triangle, cut out triangle & hang it from thread. It can then be spun (albeit it&';s not lit up!). P.P.S. Table centre-piece for group discussion é building activity also possible!

Pupils are asked to label a circle with compass directions and angles. The trick is that the circle is already labelled: with months and times [in hours (12 and 24) and minutes]. All jolly confusing... until they stop to process, sort and think! The dice at the edges add potential for an extra question around how to randomly choose a time/angle for something! There is a second circle with weeks, suits of cards, letters of the alphabet and two marathons. More confusion! More thought. Where will your pupils take you with them...

Crossword. Great way to introduce and/or round-off a topic and/or revise.

A set of slides to introduce Pythagoras' Theorem like the Rugby Off-side rule: (i) with little extra information [maybe supplemented with explanation]; (ii) with movement; (iii) with different (technical) labelling.

Differentiated questions with two different answer approaches: Allowing progression by attempting one at each level of difficulty then marking before returning to try each again. Allowing progression by attempting all at each level of difficulty and then marking before moving up a level.

Snakes and ladders; but with fractions; and dodecagonal dice: sum the negatives *and* positives before you make *your* move! Yes, you too can practice: * calculating equivalent fractions, so you can translate the * fractions on the * faces of the dodecagonal dice you made and hence * calculate the sum of the * positive and negative fractions on respective faces of each and hence * make your correct directed fraction move! equivalent fractions | adding & subtracting fractions | directed number | nets | dodecagons | properties of solids

Self explanatory. Identify gradient and y-intercept of line so correct shot is taken by laser to stop Kim Jong Il’s missiles. If the wrong equations are chosen, and the back-up fails, the consequences are clear…

Expanding one and two binomials (single and double brackets); with positively wibbly wobbly variables.

Subject to further development…

To be used after pupils familiar with use of #Pythagoras’ theorem, properties of #isosceles #triangles and #symmetry and sum of #internal #angles of a triangle. Gentle, steady, step-by-step progress.

Eight slides to prepare for Christmas. Does Father Christmas really exist? If so, where does he come from? The links from the slides suffice to begin a greater journey into how the name and image of St Nicholas has changed over the past 1300+ years (at the hands of Martin Luther (and Protestant Christians), Coca Cola and others) but also how his eternal spirit travels and lives on.
