Quite a simple worksheet which was created to address particular misconceptions and common errors in algebraic simplifications.
Used as a starter assessment.
Enjoy

All you would need for a probability lesson on coins. Some of these activities have been done as part of a circus of many activities where the students move around every 10 minutes or so however you can certainly build a lesson around these activities.
Many more Circus Probability activities are listed on my TES Resource pages.

I've used random name choosers (RNC) for some time. SMART Notebook has a good one (It's a random word generator - you just put in the names of the students in the class). I came up with this idea after a student said "Can I pass the question?" and I replied "Not unless you have a pass card!" He then drew a pass card on his whiteboard and tried to pass it again!
What we have are a variety of pass cards produced. The rules were written down for me to make sure I stuck to them and for consistency. Basically students can earn pass cards which then excuse them from answering questions when the random name chooser selects them. There is probably no educational value in doing this - it's just fun and it's very engaging for them. It's also quite funny when the class all pass all their questions to the class clown to answer (watch out for bullying though!)
Students can earn pass cards for anything which you want to reward. The other way of doing this came from an INSET session where the facilitator asked us all to look under our seats for a prize. 200 teachers all looked under the seats. We all laughed (Not) as he said there was nothing to find there but he proved the point about the engagement of coming in to the lesson and seeing if you had a pass card! Hence the wallet size pass cards are simply blu tacked to the underside of a seat. You can choose (at random) whose seat to stick it under or you could just put it under someone you want to get involved more (as they will become the class center of attraction when they are picked by the RNC). I had students coming in asap during break to see if they had a pass card under the seat!
I'd like to use it again however the head in my current school says that the school reward systems are to be used and these cards add an additional layer to the systems. I think that they can supplement the school systems and you can tailor them so that they fit within the school systems.

This is pretty simple (hence it's free) as all it is 4 worksheets for the students to use...
Give each pair worksheet 1. Each player in turn rolls the dice, records the score and then adds up their running total.
Once you've got a winner then let them play game two where it is done with two dice... and so on
All the worksheet does is provide a template for them to write into.
You could adapt it by using dice with more than six sides - go look in you Maths Resource cupboard and see what's in there! ... I found some 10, 12 and 20 sided dice.
I've done this activity as part of circus of many activities in a lesson (Other circus activities listed on my TES Resources shop and pages) but you can make a whole lesson out of this depending on what you are trying to achieve.

Activity designed to give further practice (Maths Mastery) of line of best fit on scatter graphs after initial teaching and practice. Particularly to reinforce what happens when there is no correlation.
Twenty seven slides on the PowerPoint. Each slide shows a scatter graph which either has correlation or hasn't. If it has correlation then a line of best fit can be drawn and the degree or strength of the correlation can be suggested (Note that at this level it is a subjective judgement so answers may vary).
The graphs are simply ones found using a internet image search, but I've done the work for you to save you the time.
There is a matching PowerPoint which has my suggested solutions on.
I rearranged the order of the slides on the PowerPoint on the Print version (attached) and then printed out pages 1-6, then 7-12, and so on so that six graphs were on each sheet of A4 (using the handout feature of PowerPoint). This means that you now have four worksheets which are all slightly different so that every student on your tables of four has a different set of questions - hence less copying. The answers to the four sheets I made are attached as a PDF.
This is a good activity which did meet the objective of reinforcing the LOBF skills.
