Class Control Volume Meter Display Poster Classroom Management

(1)
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.

This has been really useful this - especially with a class who have a lot of students arriving late. I decide on my starter activity and take a "Snip" of it using the Windows Snipping Tool and then copy and paste the "Capture" onto this PowerPoint. Then as the students arrive give them them a copy of the starter as you greet them and have this PowerPoint showing on the presentation screen as a reminder. Once you've used a few times the students soon learn and follow the routine. Make the task long enough that no one finishes before the last person arrives and make sure it easy enough that they can all make a start on it.

Timer Clock Face Question Lesson Speed Increase Pace Activity Template Revision Planner

Timer Clock Face Question Lesson Speed Increase Pace Activity Template Revision Planner

(0)
This is a series of templates for using to promote pace in lessons when students are working independently (or perhaps in pairs). Most exam questions are roughly 1 mark per minute so students need to increase their pace if they are to complete their papers. The idea is that you give them a set amount of time to do each question and then through out you give them reminders of the time elapsed. The template encourages them to work against the clock to complete the questions and so up their pace. If you see the MS Publisher file for the example which is four questions to be completed in eight minutes. The MS PowerPoint contains SEVEN templates which you can print out and use. Simply hand write the questions around the clock face and then write on the number of minutes for each one. There are two pages of usage notes included on the PowerPoint to help you implement the resource in your lessons. It's a great idea which I saw on TES resources (MrsMorgan1) and so thank you to her for sharing. I've adapted it for my learners. This is what my colleague said "My class really took to it and I was pleased with how eager they were to finish" 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.

Mathematics Student Pupil Exercise Work Book Presentation Layout Guidelines Poster

(0)
A list of points to reinforce with your students to improve the presentation in their Mathematics exercise books. If students know what working is needed and why it is important to show it in their exercise books, they are more willing to show the necessary working. If students know what the expectations are in terms of presentation, layout and attention to detail, they are more likely to take a pride in their exercise books. This is based on posters and book labels seen in several schools. I have amended to fit my learners and I've uploaded it as a MS Word file so that you can tailor it for your learners.

101 ideas strategies fun positive behaviour lesson planning for new and improving teachers

Over a hundred ideas for lessons. Wrote this a couple of years ago and then updated this week after two years of working in a Requires Improvement school where I've had a lot of feedback and so had lots of improvements. Most of the ideas are innovations of other peoples ideas but I've always tried to put an element of fun into the lessons. I am sure that you will find at least ten of these which you will like which you haven't seen before or thought of before and you will want to try out. Not all ideas will work for you and either way they need to fit in with your school ethos and the current trends in your school. However there is loads in here to think about. Lots of these ideas have further detail as a separate TES resources listed in my TES shop. If you download this I would very much welcome it if you could write a review.

Successful Silence 5 minute Quiet Time Lesson Strategy Positive Behaviour Idea Lesson Study

Successful Silence 5 minute Quiet Time Lesson Strategy Positive Behaviour Idea Lesson Study

(0)
Simple idea....Make sure the student have everything they need to do the work. Make sure you have prepped them and given them opportunities to discuss it and ask questions. Check everyone understands what to do and how to do it. Then give them the task and insist on five minutes of "Successful silence". During this time they are absolutely not allowed to talk - even the students with TA's. That way they are given the chance to work quietly. This is something the students have said they want - quiet time to work in. This was done as a "Action Research Lesson Study" with the North East Teacher Development Trust Network.

It's always worth setting your expectations of what the students should have. Obviously you could tweak these for your own learners but at least you've got a starting point here. It's a list of Essential maths equipment as a poster and then a check list (which doesn't quite match but would be easily amended to use with your form class. You may wish to adjust the poster so it says "essential" then "desirable" depending on your learners.
