Brighten up SATs revision with this great fun alternative to past papers! This Swash-buckling board game involves pupils moving around the board and answering past SATs questions in order to win treasure.
This pack includes the board, the rules and 32 SATs question cards with answers (you could also add your own cards by using SATs papers in the future). The last page also invites pupils to invent their own game for the students to revise with the following year (but of course they must provide answers to the questions they set!)
To play you will need to cut up the question cards (I suggest laminating them for future use) and print the board in colour for each team. I usually let the rest of the team decide if the question has been answered correctly (that way they all have to work it out!) but there is an answer sheet provided for checking if they are not sure.
You will also need counters, dice and mini whiteboards.
A massive collection of 116 puzzles for display on interactive whiteboards! These puzzles encourage lateral thinking and "thinking-outside-the-box" and are not really targeted at any specific year group. Volume 1 contains relatively easy puzzles so they could be used by a variety of age and ability groups from Year 5 all the way up to Year 11 as lesson starters or lesson ends, or a quick break from the rest of the lesson. Have used them for years with my own classes and they are very popular! Have updated them for amore modern look. Ideal for maths lesson as logical thinking is encouraged but could be used by teacher's of any subject. All sorts of puzzles are included involving coins, words, logic, matchsticks, sequences, trick questions, maths magic, physical and shape puzzles. Start the PowerPoint and choose your puzzle ! 116 puzzles mean there are enough for three per week for the whole school academic year! (HINT:- It may be helpful to use the coin and matchstick puzzles without the PowerPoint being run, because then students can drag and move the coins / matchsticks around on the interactive whiteboard! Enjoy..!
