This engaging class wide activity involves reading coordinates in one quadrant and being able to name very simple straight line graphs e.g. x=2 y=1. Increasing to four quadrants and any variation of graphs. The images are moveable and on the notebook file are on an infinite cloner so move and add at leisure.

A set of printable cards to complete a family of four (fact family) upon. Print these off cut them out and hand out for students to stick in their book. By using the same template each time the students will know exactly what needs to be done and get started quicker. Write the 3 numbers of the fact family (one in each corner) and the students fill in the blanks to create the four facts. A fact family is a group of math facts using the same numbers. In the case of addition/subtraction, you use three numbers and get four facts. For example, you can form a fact family using the three numbers 3, 4 and 7. 3+4=7, 4+3=7, 7-4=3, 7-3=4.

The cover-up method is well worth teaching as it helps with many areas of linear equations. No rearranging to y = mx + c required so eliminating errors Allows solving of equations in the form ax + by + c = d Allows plotting of graphs in the form ax + by + c = d Find the gradient between two points to avoid rearranging OR as a double check Questions designed for a four quadrant grid -6>x>6 and -7>y>7

A card sort featuring the definitions of mode,median, mean and range as well as how to calculate them. Cut and stick sorting activity

This logic puzzle involved reading coordinated in one quadrant and being able to name very simple straight line graphs e.g. x=2 y=1. Possible extensions could include, what’s the fewest number of fences you could do it in. House g wants a bigger plot etc. I used this with my bottom set year 10 though is suitable for a variety of ages. UPDATED 4 quadrant addition

So the idea behind this activity is that there’s very little difference between each different worksheet but a large difference between polar opposites. Pupils answer the first 5 questions. If they get them all correct first time they move up a step, otherwise they answer the rest of the questions on that level. The levels are: Red - Solving one-step using balances and bar models Orange - Solving one-step represented algebraically (positive and negative integers) Yellow - Solving one-step represented algebraically including fractions, decimals and worded questions Green - Solving two-step using balances and bar models with a few represented algebraically Blue - Solving two-step represented algebraically (positive and negative integers) Purple - Solving two-step represented algebraically including fractions and decimals White - Solving two-step worded questions

Negative arithmetic can be a really difficult concept to understand. One of my host teachers introduced me to this basic game which is really fun and easy to set up. Kaboom! is great! stick each question to a lollipop stick either large or small (comes in two sizes) and that’s it you’re done! alternatively you could just keep them as slips of paper, it doesn’t matter :) How to Play: Each students takes it in turns to pick a stick If they answer the question on it currently they keep the stick Otherwise they put it back in the set The person with the most sticks at the end wins! … But there’s a twist … If they get a stick that says ‘Kaboom!’ they lose all their sticks and they all go back in the set. These sticks can be easily stored in an old coffee can or jar for the perfect self running maths centre. Also if you have coloured lollipop sticks you could use them to differentiate.

This resource consists of three different task cards, each differentiated three ways. It also includes a set of blank files to aid in creating the two-way tables. As an extension students could also draw a dual or compound bar chart. Please read the preview before purchasing to see if this lesson is appropriate for you. This lesson is based on the Pearson Key Stage 3 Maths Progress scheme of work but is appropriate the curriculum over.

A mastery lesson starting with an investigation into how straight lines are formed (incase this hasn't been studied at primary school) building up to the use of reasoning and algebra in questions.

7 different cards each with a question involving tree diagrams. Students have to look at both given answers and decide which is correct. There are 2 different versions, one with answers (printed on the reverse) and one without. The PowerPoint is also included to allow edits but you will require the font Juan Mikes.

Use these pre-drawn graphs in PowerPoint and jpeg form to aid in your resources design.

If you haven’t heard your students talking about Among Us then where have you been? 100 million people play the social deduction game Among Us and the kids love talking about it. This activity involves using scales and bearings. If you print at 100% the scale will be 1cm to 2m, otherwise, you might have to give it a measure if you print to fit. The worksheet comes in both colour and black and white with answers provided. Among Us is the intellectual property of Inner Sloth, no copyright infringement intended.

Use this crossword to remind students of the classifications, notations and angle facts of triangles.

An angles in parallel lines activity aimed at 11-14 year olds. Variations of the same activity and can be easily adapted. See if your pupils realise it's all within a square.

This worksheet provides practice for students to solve (find the x and y intercept) of graphs in diagram and equation form
