Four Versions of a Transformations Key word word search. - each of a different size so you can give them out according to how fast each learner is.

This is a great activity which I've used many times and always goes down well. It is the top two resources "Movement Game" You put 36 A4 posters around the room with the numbers 1 to 36 on them (laminated). Then the cards with the factors on are laminated and cut out. You then have a big stack of number cards which are all the factors of all the numbers up to 36. Share the cards out around your players. Give them some blue tack each and then they run around the room trying to get rid of their cards. For example: if they have a number one they can put it on any A4 number card. if they have a number two they can put it on any A4 number card which is a multiple of two .e.g. 2, 4, 6, etc. Obviously the number 36 appears only once so can only go in one place, numbers like 13 can go in a couple of places (13 and 26) so there are only two of them. However there are 36 ones and 18 twos. You need to ensure that they only put one of each number on each card. E.g. number six will need 1,2,3,6 but nothing else and no repeats. This provides a lot of fun. How the class act on this depends on how good your behaviour management is and how engaged they are to complete it successfully...You always get some joker who just slaps down their cards onto the first A4 they can. Suggestions are use some key students to become Quality Control experts or something like that. I've include some answers and some matching worksheets to back it all up. There is a lot of them but they all help reinforce the ideas . The BLOCKS worksheet is the one which I use the most! Maths Mastery says that they should be explain their choices and answer questions like "Why is 7 only on these cards?" Etc Hope you like it - I've used this loads of times as a starter, plenary or as the main of a lesson depending on the nature of the learners and where we are on the scheme.

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.

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.

Fun exercise for many age ranges. Will provide a good amount of discussion and is a nice next step after calculating probabilities to then progressing on to dependent events. Originally I used this as one short activity in a "Circus" of many activities which students go around the room playing on. (More of my Circus Activities are uploaded on my resources elsewhere) Print out the resources enough for each group (I split the class into pairs) but put the Tree Diagram on A3 for tables of 4 to complete. Each group needs a picture of a bowl on A4 and a selection of fruit (I printed out 9 pieces of fruit per A4 using "Windows Photo Printing"). Ideally laminate these for durability. Try to get the fruit on equal size cards so that they can be turned face down and chosen at random. First give them all the task sheet - you could always laminate these so that they use dry wipe markers so that they could play it twice. The task is pick a piece of fruit at random and then record it in the table and then calculate the probability of getting what's left. This is usually enough of an activity to do in a "Circus" however its a good intro for tree diagrams hence the work on tree diagrams as well. Note that the SMART Notebook has the fruit images already added in the attachments as a gallery file. The SMART Notebook file has a variety of different size tree diagrams - you could choose which students to give the smaller (easier to complete) to. I've included a few tree diagram templates for your use.

Huge bundle of resources on Ratio. The key resource here is the "Runaround Game" where you mark out ten sections of the classroom floor and then place ten different ratios in the ten sections.

to encourage the use of the correct language and the basic understanding of the basic concepts I made this activity which has worked well with several classes. There is plenty of opportunity for discussion and sharing of what students know. The Notebook was used to create the images which can be printed out onto individual sheets. Then use the LO Label to "Choose one of the diagrams of red and green balls. Then glue it underneath this sticker and then write as much as you can about that diagram using the language on the prompt cards." Afterwards use the WS with the class. Use the BallsQuestion.PPTx to go through the answers. Get several students to each write their answers on the powerpoint (on the IWB)

Short PowerPoint which challenges misconceptions when matching & simplifying algebraic expressions. Pupils can write their answers (and then show the correction) on individual pupil whiteboards - either on own, in pairs or in tables of four. Pupils can use red, green, yellow (for don't know) cards to show their answer. For extra fun you can have them point "Usain Bolt Style" to the left or right of the room for their answer. For complete chaos you can have them run to the left of the right of the classroom for yes or no. The important thing is to get pupils to explain their answers to help everyone's understanding. You can quite easily and quickly add many more questions by simply duplicating a yes or no slide and adding in your changes. I would usually back this exercise up with a worksheet or textbook exercise which they can do independently afterwards. You can extend this by getting the pupils to make up their own slides (on their whiteboards) to test other pupils.

A series of activities to consolidate (Master!) understanding of how to work out the circumference of a circle given the radius or diameter. It is designed to be used after we've investigated how PI comes from C / d and we've introduced the idea of C = PI x d. There are three sets of cards which are ready to be printed out on different coloured card. Each card activity has a matching work sheet done as a sticker so that there is a record of the activity in the pupils exercise book. Each activity card set is designed to be given to be a mixed ability table of four pupils. They discuss and (hopefully!) develop their understanding! Card set 1 is given out as 20 cards where the pupils "Diamond Nine" (or any other valuing/ranking/ordering layout) the cards discussing which are the most useful facts for finding the circumference. There are few wrong answers as most of the points are right for most questions. The sticker backs this up into the books. Card Set 2 is given out as 16 cards where the pupils again rank which are the most important to remember when doing their working. Again they all are correct so it's a discussion and learning activity. The sticker is then just a check list to go in their books. I will always ask them to use a highlighter pen to indicate the key phrases etc. Card Set 3 is given out as a set of 9 cards. (Print out one card as an answer sheet for you) and the pupils simply have to put the cards in order. The sticker then requires them to back it up in to their books. This activity uses some of the ideas which our school has been made aware of in recent courses - a) Magenta Principles by Mike Hughes and b) Achieving Mastery in Mathematics.

Made this a few years ago when there was still a MA test at KS2. I collected all the KS2 15 second questions I could and then made a few more versions of each type until I ended up with all these. You print them out on A4 card. Fold each card in half. Then give one sheet to a student. He/She then reads questions to his/her partner. If needed he/she shows the question hint which is on the far right of the table - hence the fold in the card. These work really well. Makes a nice lesson starter routine or ender. There are 45 sheets of A4 so should take a while for them all to be seen by every student.

Collecting Like Terms Match Pairs Game. Notebook = find the matching simplified expressions by unhiding the expressions or the simplifications. Students can come out and unhide two. If they match they get another go. Good for memory as well as improving Maths skills Algebra Match Expressions Yes No Game.pptx is a simple game where each slide shows a pair of expressions. They either match or don't. Students indicate "Yes" or "No". They seem to love this - especially if you make it so they run to the left of the room for yes or run to the right for no. To add challenge get them to indicate yes or no on their whiteboards and then justify their answer. Or show the slide and then say "Think" and only allow them to hold up a yes or no card when you say "Show". This avoids them just copying their friends. Algebra Match Race Game is simply share out the cards and then show the slides on the PPT. There should be five cards which match each slide. First student to hand it in wins. The A4 answer sheet shows what the right answers will be. There is a matching "SuperChallenge" worksheet to use for this (with answers). This sheet is quite hard to complete. Simplifying Algebraic Expressions35Q's.pptx is the answers for a matching worksheet. Simplification&Expansion.PPTX is the answers for a matching worksheet. There are two versions of the WS. Original is all on one sheet of A4. The newer version has each section on a different page which is better if they are writing into their books rather than writing on the whole A4 sheet.

I made these to help me save time when marking the books- If I wrote it several times one day I went home and made a sticker for it.. You need to buy the appropriate sized stickers. I got mine from eBay. The one I use the most is "Extra Challenge" which saves you having to write "Here is an extra challenge for you to do". Hope they help you too!

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

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! :)

In summary " A simple card match activity - graph to name" Designed for a year 8 lower ability set who needed considerable reinforcement and repetition, but would suit any class doing linear graphs because you can use it as a starter for those who already know, or as a self discovery for those learning or as a review or as a revision after they’ve already learnt it. There are 20 different linear graphs on A4 and 20 matching equations of the graphs on A5. Print these out on card. Print out the worksheet for your class. Students move around the room completing their worksheet. Use the teacher answer sheet to help you. The student worksheet is in Microsoft Word. You can differentiate this by editing it so that more of the answers are already filled in by changing the text font colour to black (from white).

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

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.

Getting the students to discuss possible errors and decide on the difficulty of questions is good for improving understanding and good for you to assess misconceptions and progress. There are eight incorrect expansions of algebraic brackets - the students have to identify the errors
