Here is a fun differentiated engaging Bingo game where students are tested on whether they know their angle types such as no turn, acute angle, right angle, obtuse angle, straight angle, reflex angle and full turn. Students can choose their own nine numbers or the teacher can give out any of seventy-two randomised bingo cards. There are four sizes of bingo card depending on your preference and photocopy budget. Edit: After playing it in class it is better with 12 numbers per game if using the generated Bingo cards. They are now included as well - there’s 126 unique cards which make for a lot of games. These are laid out to print on to A4 sheets of 3x7=21 labels The slides provide six games of 24 angles (which is enough to provide a winner): The first three games support learners by specifically describing the angle type. The fourth game only provides the angle type and a generic description The fifth & sixth game (hardest) only provides the angle type.

Use this together with “Payslips and Overtime” PowerPoint from TES Contributor Sme1968 Includes my introductory comprehensive notes on Wages, Pay and Salaries as a handy A4 page of notes Two single GCSE Foundation Examination practice questions (with answers) - use one as modeling layout example and then the other as an exit ticker or as a review task on your next lesson. Both provided on easy to hand out sticker sheets. PowerPoint display versions included. Workpack of GCSE Foundation Examination practice questions (with answers) to use as the main practice part of the lesson.

20 3D shapes have been drawn. For each shape there are six matching cards: Plan View, Side Elevation, Front Elevation, Net, Number of Faces, Edges & Vertices. Students roam the room in pairs trying to collect a matching set of cards. Alternatively print out on smaller cards and give each table group a set to sort out. Please see my other similar resources if you like this.

Young people love trading games. Designed for Y9H GCSE, however suitable for many. There are 34 Construction/Loci scenarios cards. Each scenario has a matching description and another describing in terms of the Maths - i.e. “Perpendicular bisector.” All cards are unique so there is only one correct match which can be checked against the answer key. It is designed to be a comprehensive reflection of what could be in GCSE. There are several formats of the printout included. Print out the cards on A5 yellow card. Then make stacks of the 3 cards (obviously not matches). You then distribute a stack to each Learner who then need to collect matching sets. Once they have a set you issue a token and give them another stack so they can continue playing until you call time. (Alternatively, pair everyone up and give each pair one set - makes the game last longer). They must trade one for one until they make up matching sets and they must always keep the picture card they were given. You need to plan carefully how you are going to use it, depending on ability how collaborative they can be. There five difficulty grades (Green, Blue, Red, Black & Diamond Black). This is a subjective judgement but useful for a mixed ability class. Give out the green picture cards to your weakest, and so on. You can first insist that they first only trade with their table partners. This helps to identify who is going to struggle (and/or go off task). You can fix it that their 2nd card is with someone on their table. They then trade with another particular table and eventually it becomes a free for all and they all get up. The tokens really do help to give the element of competition. Watch out for students who give all their cards away and then opt out. Or small groups of students who go to one corner and share with each other and then don’t move around the room. You can vary the difficulty of the activity when you print out the cards. The ability cards can be printed out on 10 different colours. You will know that matches have to be made up of particular colours which makes it easier to assess and sort out for next time. You can print out all the cards onto smaller cards and then give each table a whole class set. This could be done for learners who don’t cope well with moving around. You can use with lower ability by only printing out easier cards. There are questions which can either be displayed on the board or printed on back of cards to aid discussion. If you spot any mistakes, errors or inaccuracies - please do let me know. If you like this resource please do rate it and see my other TES resources. Here are some quotes from the first class I used it with: "It’s more fun than working” “A great way of learning new skills and gets everybody engaged” “Good as we met others we don’t usually talk to” “Good active and enjoyable”. I took on their feedback and added more to the picture cards to make it easier.

Simple volume of cubes, cuboids and square prisms activity. Young people love trading games…Share out to everyone the cards…they then roam the room trading one for one until they make up matching sets. Once they get a matching set they check with the adult who gives them a token if right. This set has 16 matching sets of 8 cards - a massive piece of work! The six cards have a length, width, height, volume, picture and name It was originally designed to have lots of similar lengths so that there are many matching sets of cards without learners having to find a unique matching set. You need to plan carefully how you are going to use it, what the ability is of your users and how collaborative they can be. Then print out accordingly. Below are a few suggestions. Print out the cards on 3x7 A4 labels. Stick them onto plain playing cards (from your educational supplier). Then spend 5 minutes making stacks of the six cards (obviously not matches). You then distribute a stack to each pair. Learners then need to collect matching sets. Once they have a matching stack you issue two tokens and given them another stack so that they can continue playing until you call time. You can give some element of control to this by first insisting that they first only trade with their table partners. This helps to identify who is going to struggle (and/or go off task). You can then manage them trading with another particular table and eventually it becomes a free for all and they all get up. The tokens really do help to give the element of competition. Watch out for students who give all their cards away and then opt out. Or small groups of students who go to one corner and share with each other and then don’t move around the room (although the tokens usually motivate most). I’ve included a matching set of worksheets - 24 versions which have varying levels of difficulty & then a set of matching settler/starter WS’s

Young people love trading games…Share out to everyone the cards…they then roam the room trading one for one until they make up matching sets. Once they get a matching set they check with the adult who gives them a token if right. This set has 72 matching sets of 9 cards - a massive piece of work! First a picture (not to scale) of a rectangle with it’s length and width labeled. Card 1 - A length Card 2 - A width Card 3 - The area Card 4 - the length plus the width (i.e. 1/2 the perimeter Card 5 - The perimeter Card 6 - A comparison of the length and the width Card 7 - Whether the shape is a rectangle or a square Card 8 - A comparison of the values of the perimeter and area. It was originally designed to have lots of similar areas and perimeters so that there are many matching sets of cards without learners having to find a unique matching set. You need to plan carefully how you are going to use it, what the ability is of your users and how collaborative they can be. Then print out accordingly. Below are a few suggestions. Print out the nine separate cards on different colour cards. Cut them out. Then spend 15 minutes making stacks of the nine cards (obviously not matches). You then distribute a stack to each learner. Learners then need to collect matching sets which have one of each colour. Once they have a matching stack you issue a token and given them another stack so that they can continue playing until you call time. You can give some element of control to this by first insisting that they first only trade with their table partner, then only on their tables. This helps to identify who is going to struggle (and/or go off task). You can then manage them trading with another particular table and eventually it becomes a free for all and they all get up. You can make the task easier by printing out on different colour cards so that the every eight cards (one page) of each card set is printed out on a different colour card. This means that learners can look for cards which are the same colour as theirs. You can reduce the number of cards - either by only printing out a limited number so that learners have to pair up to make a complete set. You can make the game significantly harder by removing the picture cards and slightly harder by removing the 1/2 perimeter cards You can make the game easier by removing all but the picture, area and perimeter cards. When I say easier, this can mean take less time to play. It’s worth trying with a few different classes to see how they respond (and behave). Watch out for students who give all their cards away and then opt out. Or small groups of students who go to one corner and share with each other and then don’t move around the room (although the tokens usually motivate most). I’ve included a matching worksheet but there are plenty of these allready on the TES which others have made.

A card sort activity to reinforce, recap, discover or revise finding bounds on rounded numbers. GCSE or KS3 from Y7 to Y11. Use the included images and display on the whiteboard when showing the student. Alternatively embed the templates into your interactive white board software and use them to create examples to display - PDF and SMART Notebook versions are included. First decide on how many groups of students you have. Print the cards out and cut them up. Print the placemats out (& possibly laminate). Then each group are given all 10 placemats and a set of cards. They then place them in the correct places on the cards (covering the yellow spaces). Use the answers to check them. I’ve printed the answers onto A5 card and held them together with treasury tags. Alternatively, print the placemats out on to A6 (1/4 of A4) and you now have ten bingo cards. However, this was only a secondary idea and some placemats have more blanks than others (Differentiate?!). Use the PowerPoint to display the answers. There are three sets of the answers (all randomised) so you can play it at least 3 times. I used an Excel spreadsheet to generate the questions and answers. It is included so you can create your own. There is also a matching worksheet which can be printed on to A5. Answers are included. & I’ve just added three extra matching WS (with answers). Print onto A5. WS3 is easiest- WS1 is hardest.

An exercise for small groups (pairs or 4’s) to play designed to refresh, discover, reinforce, remind students of the indices rules. You’ll need to print enough resources for the number of groups you have in your class. There are only a few rules to learn but these cards have 20 rules in total as they have variants and extensions of the basic rules. There are 4 “baseplates”. Print the “baseplates” out on to A4 card. For ease I suggest 4 different colours of card. Print the answer card out on A4 card (2 sheets per page) or prepare to display on your projection screen. (I suggest printing several copies of the answers and so each table can self check as and when they finish. Print the “CardsRight” out onto A4 sticky labels (3 x 7 = 21 per sheet). Stick these labels onto blank playing cards (purchased from your chosen education supplier - I got mine from YPO). Alternatively print on to A4 card and cut out using a guillotine. Give each group a full set of 20 playing cards and a copy of each base plate. They then match the playing cards to the base plates. Alternatively, give each group one baseplate card at a time. However it doesn’t take them too long. This can be made significantly harder by printing the “CardsRight - Harder” as these don’t have which base plate they go on to. Afterwards there are a variety of graded worksheets to reinforce the above.

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).

Really useful set of FIVE worksheets with accompanying SMART Notebook files (and PDF copies if you don’t have Notebook) and scans of ANSWERS to save you time using the Visual Singapore Bar Method for sharing by a ratio. Also included are two Helpsheets which can be printed out and stuck into the student exercise books to a) save them copying and b) to give them worked examples to look back at. The SMART Notebooks (or PDF’s) can be displayed on your Interactive Whiteboard to allow the teacher (or a student!) to work through examples in front of the class. The five worksheets are roughly progressive from easier numbers to harder. An example of a question is share £12 in the ratio 1:3. The worksheet gives a scaffolded frame for the student to use to work through the steps to share £12 into £3: £9 using a bar method. Sheet 5 is quite good as a final assessment of whether they have got it. You could use the five sheets over several lessons or use them all in one lesson but issue the harder sheets to your better students. When you print the worksheets out for the students then you can print 2 pages per A4 to save costs. If it is a 1 page worksheet then print pages “1,1” on one sheet of A4. The eventual aim is that the students can use this method without scaffolding. There are plenty of exercises available elsewhere once they’ve got this method. See BONUS “Helpsheet Fred” for example of this. The answers are simply scans of my scribbled solutions - however they do the job!

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.

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.

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.

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.
