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!

This is well worth the download purchase cost because you can keep your students occupied for hours on these! A maze worksheet where students have to find their way through a maze using a path of only square numbers. This is a top quality way to engage and amuse the students - particularly in afternoon lessons or at the end of the term as they seem to love it. Once they have got the idea with the smaller mazes they can attempt the bigger ones - this will keep them busy for hours! (well most of the lesson with any luck). There are three versions of the practice simpler versions and then one harder (04) and then the hardest (05). I'm putting up all my square numbers activities so check them out on TES shortly!

Hi all. I've found the "Flag colouring/football kits investigation" posted by another TES contributor "humel". It's a really nice simple idea which works well. I'm going to use it tomorrow to keep a class occupied whilst there is lots of other end of term distractions going on. See "humel"'s pages for the idea but here attached to this is a set of solutions and a PowerPoint which has timed "Transitions" and is looped so that you can leave it running on the projection screen. You can easily remove the transitions if you wish. You may notice that the PPT is more than 27 slides long in case the SMART Board software displays the number of slides and hence gives the game away.

See the PNG file first for the original question.... You are given two numbers on a number line. You know that that there are two numbers between them. The gaps between the four numbers are all equal. Find the missing numbers. You can do lots of practice on this together as a class. The worksheet attached just allows them to get on with something on their own. You can use the generator Excel file to create more sheets.

Here are 11 questions on a SMART Notebook (also presented as a PDF if you don't have SMART) At the end of the topic one of my classes wrote questions to show what they understood about Scatter graphs. The SMART Notebook is the result of this. Also included is a worksheet to match the questions and a set of answers. My suggestions are: Give the worksheet out. Allow them some time to answer. Then give them the Senteo Handsets and get them to close their books. Answer the quiz with the handsets as individuals. Then reset the quiz and allow them to complete it again - either in table groups of four or with their books to help them. Finally get them to write explanations to each question in their book to prove/reinforce their understanding.

Here are 14 questions which you can give to each table or pair as a sheet of stickers and the students can choose the questions they want to answer. These are great as afterwards you can mark their books and either give them a further challenge based on what they wrote or slap in another sticker for them to do as their next lesson starter challenge. The questions are designed for them to show that they have mastered the concepts of scatter graphs and lines of best fit. These fit in with the lesson I have uploaded for free on to TES resources (Resource 11313391).

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.

Thanks to tsyczynski another valued TES contributor for this. I really liked his idea of the homework tasks. I've just adapted it to fit in with our current theme of child labour in Victorian factories and I've given it to my class as an extended project task for a couple of afternoon lessons where we've got quite a few extra-curricular activities going on. This is what they said about doing this kind of task: "It's good to let your imagination flow" "It's more fun" "It's good to make something" " I like choosing what to do" If you like this then please check out my many other activities listed on my TES Resources shop and pages including many Premium resources which may be able to save you lots of time and give you some useful ideas.

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.
