Objective: Know basic number properties such as factor, square, LCM, HCF, etc. Twenty questions on a PowerPoint which any class can do as a nice ender plenary which students seem to always enjoy. The PowerPoint has the 20 questions and then the 20 questions with the answers. You could always not display to the class the PowerPoint until going through the answers so it becomes a mental arithmetic test.

This idea came from "andorian" who has a worksheet to prompt discussion. I then recorded the students ideas on this PowerPoint. Afterwards they made a "This is now a phone free school" poster. It's not that good a resource and its certainly not worth putting a price on it but it may help you and make things a bit easier for your lesson. Hope it helps

This was used for a Y7 interview lesson, but could easily be adapted for any age probably between Y5 to Y10 depending on ability. It is rich in discussion, engagement and activity so ticks a lot of boxes. The lesson plan includes a full commentary on what is going on so you will be able to show what you were trying to achieve. It also lists a number of ideas to use next lesson to show that you have thought about "where next". It is full of many activities - more than you could possibly achieve in a lesson - so it is pretty comprehensive. I last used it two years ago and have since learnt a lot more about Maths Mastery, lesson planning, engagement and challenge, etc and as yet haven't updated this resource to accommodate these improvements. So it is up to you to pick and choose the bits you want to use. However, the basic change I would make if I used this now would be to reduce it down to one starter, one main and one plenary and then focus more on achieving a more specific learning objective and then assessing progress on this. So I wouldn't actually change the bits I would use now - just cut out many of the other bits. In other words by buying this you are getting a superb bundle of resources. Use the lesson PowerPoint to prompt you for the order for the lesson. Most of the activities mentioned in the lesson plan and PowerPoint are included - (I couldn't locate them all). The runaround activity mentioned but not completely there is simply place the names of the 10 quadrilaterals around the room. The students are then given lots of property cards and have to go around the room putting the cards with the right quadrilaterals. This does work very well. All of this does represent a huge amount of work. Some of the resources ideas are adapted from the Web but all have been improved to make more effective in my style of lesson. There is also a link to a very good song on YouTube which the children love. This got me the job I went for two years ago. I'm sure it could do the same for you too! :)

This is a top idea which I've used many times and I think it really does provide some great discussion. The probability of it snowing tomorrow is not 1/2 as it doesn't snow very often. However students often think that as the choice is either "snow" or "not snow" so the chance of it snowing must be a half. The activities here are designed to address this misconception. Originally I used this as a short 10 minute activity as part of a whole lesson of many circus activities (many other of my circus activities are listed on TES resources) however you can easily build a whole lesson around it. The activity has nine discussion questions to decide if they are true or false. The PowerPoint is simply those questions so that you can display them to discuss them as a class. The WS is good for a homework or as a classwork exercise to get something in the book. Alternatively you could simply ask them to choose one of the questions to write into their books and then describe in detail the answer. The Mr Wrong questions are useful as starters next lesson or plenaries today. You could easily amend the questions within in them to suit the point you are trying to make with your learners. The label is obvious. The A5 asks the student to choose which Mr Wrong is wrong (the other is right) and the A4 has two versions. The A4 can be used in many ways. E.g. You can ask them to write four statements (where one is true and the rest is false) and then they pass to another student to work it out. Alternatively you could write on the statements and they could identify the right and wrong ones. You can change the statements. For example on the A5 you could make both statements false (catches them out Ha Ha!) Enjoy. Please do leave feedback if you found it useful. Thank you.

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. If you find it useful please leave a helpful review. Thank you.

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.

A lesson built around the objective: Develop further understanding leading to mastery of scatter graphs. The idea is that after a starter exercise the class move around in tables of four attempting each of the circus activities. Then they are given a written exercise to back it up and then a whole class plenary activity. See the attached lesson plan. The good points noted by an observer of this lesson were: *Collaborative learning in mixed ability groups *Pupils could explain the decisions they made *Use of subject specific vocabulary buy the pupils *Opportunities for Mastery *Use of Magenta Principle - Arrange *Encourage pupils to challenge answers. Not all the resources listed in the plan are located here. Some come from other TES contributors, but as long as you get a collection of activities which each take about the same duration you can set up a good Circus of activities. Starter comes from Scatter Graph Matching Cards by "john_speight" The "Six Cards Discussion" is the attached PPT. This is excellent for prompting discussion. Some of the slides are copied from some other Contributors resources. The True/False is my TES free resource "11307990". This is the activity which has the most discussion The Correlation match posters come from Scatter graphs and best-fit lines by "frickard". This was quite short so needs extra added otherwise this group finishes too quickly. The draw LOBF worksheet is one part of Scatter diagrams / scatter graphs by "jsteingold" The L7 & L6 questions are some good scatter questions from KS3 Testbase. The written questions are for sale as a Premium resource from my TES shop. It is simply a list of 14 questions laid out on a sheet of A4 stickers so that students can choose which question to answer. The plenary is just a series of knowledge recall questions on a PowerPoint to do as a class Q&A.

Activity designed to reinforce, consolidate and master understanding of scatter graphs. Attached is a list of 25 statements (25QTrueFalseScatterGraphsQuestions.rtf) which are either true, false or something in between. The questions are graded where the first 5 are the roughly the easiest, next 5 are harder and so on. Each has a suggested answer, a explanation and a tip for giving the student a little bit more to think about (25TrueFalseScatterGraphsQ-A). How can you use this? a) Give the set of 25 cards (25QTrueFalseScatterGraphsCards) to each table and then ask them to sort them into the categories of true, false, etc . (using the header cards - 4 versions to choose from). Discuss their choices and justify them. You could easily reduce the number of cards for lower ability tables or if in ability tables only given them just the easier cards. (You can see that I have done this with a subset of just 12 questions) but you may wish to pick off your own selection. b) Give each student a TrueFalseScatterGraphsQQT.docx card and allow them to roam the room choosing a partner to "Quiz Quiz Trade" with. i.e. they read the statement to their partner. Their partner then suggests the answer and then is given the solution after a little discussion. Then they do the same for the other partner and then swap cards and then go and find someone else. you can give all the cards out according to ability and then say that you can only pair up with another student who has a same grade question (1 to 5) or a question of a grade one higher or one lower than you. c) Display the statements on the projection screen (25QuestionsTrueFalsePPT) and have the class discuss the answers together. This could be followed up by the students picking one statement and writing their explanation and justification into their exercise books. You can further extend the activity by asking students to choose a false statement and then writing it again so it becomes true. If you spot any errors then please let me know asap. This is based on the work from lauramathswilson - another valued TES resources contributor - thank you to her for sharing it. I liked her idea and decided to develop it slightly to make it a collaborative table activity. I had actually seen the idea of doing true false for scatter graphs on a KS3 SAT paper (it's the last part on a L6 question on a non-calculator paper about Poplar trees) but lauramathswilson has taken it much further nicely.

There's 23 questions here to ask your students as they are getting ready to end their year. They are all positively phrased and the intention is to print out the sheet of cards, cut them out and then distribute them around the students. Ask them to discuss the answers. with their table mates. There's no writing involved. The Questions.docx is there just so that you can see the questions easily and if you want you can edit them. The PowerPoint is there to make it easy for you to display the questions if you choose to then discuss the questions as a class. Enjoy. Hope it helps at the time of the year!

Check out my shop and other resources on TES including many "Premium" resources. If you find this worksheet useful please leave a positive review. Thanks

Objective: Be able to find the percentage of a quantity (such as money amount) using a non calculator method. Real simple starter. Display the PowerPoint on the whiteboard. Print out the Starter worksheets onto A6 sized sheets or even 2 x 2 Label Sheets and the students come in, see the displayed slide and know to get straight onto their "bell task". Great way to settle them down. Use as a recap for last lesson or like I did to push them onto a harder example that just whole numbers. Use the enclosed Answers to check their working and so understanding. I call this method "Percentage by Quick Routes".. Usually taught via "bubble" or "spider" charts. See my other resources for more examples.

Objective: Know common equivalents between Fractions, Decimals and Percentages. 10 simple questions which they should know (rather than have to work out). 10 Questions on a PowerPoint. Ready to show. Just give the class a small slip of paper. Ask them to write down 1 to 10 and then show them the questions. Once done swap the papers and then continue through showing the answers - asking the students to share how they did it or knew it.

Objective: Convert between common fractions, decimals and percentages and know common equivalents A simple table collaborative group activity worksheet where the students fill in as many sets of fractions decimals and percentage equivalents that they can remember. It is a good settling starter activity or a good recap plenary exercise to end with. Once they have done several minutes or so, start reading out sets of answers like "1/2 = 0.5 = 50%", etc. Then when you have exhausted your list ask the students to read out any more they have. Then award points to the most unique ones a table has. Most points = winning table. It's a good activity which gets them communicating as they try to get unique sets of equivalents.
