Relay for volume and surface area. Students apply the formulae provided on the exam paper to the full range of 3D shapes. They also have an opportunity to consider surface area.

A prompt for resources gathering for SCITT, GTP and NQTs in Maths.

Find the two mistakes hidden in 3 questions regarding angles around a point, a line and a triangle.

Designed to be 4 distinct sets of questions cards, this resource is developed as an introduction to solving equations. The original design is to go alongside a lesson developing the idea of inverse to then be taken on to the solution of formal algebra. Se

Uses inverse operations and function machines to introduce solving equations.

Students run a school canteen. 1. They select 2 recipes to produce in their canteen. 2. They survey the class for demand for each dish using a tally chart. 3. They calculate the quantities required for each it recipe item in grams. 4. They round and convert into whole kg units to then cst each item. 5. They calculate profit by calculating total revenue and total cost. This activity worked well just before Easter as a competitive challeneg completed in pairs with a middle attaining year 7 group.

Carpet and wallpaper a house with given information.

A selection of problems around interior angles for students to solve. Follows on from the investigation into how side lengths link to angle sums. Leads into exterior angles and other problems. EDIT: The first 4 slides for part of an Always, sometimes, never questioning session that I haven't obviously highlighted. I am fully aware that trapezium's don't have right angles. The task is designed to illicit misconceptions! Apologies for forgetting to signpost!

Here is a little bit of a crib sheet with lots of useful ideas. I've been reading 101 Classroom Games, written from a PE perspective and been looking at how to use it in a maths context. The problem being the context in which answers are given etc. Well worth a read but here is a selection of some of the ideas it has inspired and a crib sheet to keep them in mind and begin using them.

Designed for the linear equations objective. The document graduates in difficulty and provides an example per level. The document emphasizes the idea of balancing and use of inverse.

This activity is designed to take 3 sessions and enables students to appreciate the hard work Comic Relief does on a number of issues. The sessions culminate in a dragons presentation where students advocate for their cause to continue to receive funding from Comic Relief.

Develop questioning, literacy etc by students tallying events in the classroom.

Two differentiated worksheets on finding the missing lengths of similar shapes. Both worksheets conclude with a challenge question taken from GCSE exam papers.

Starter activity for students to broaden horizons and introduce role models. Supplied in two forms.

3 minute assessment groups of 3. Specific role cards.

These hexagons promote the discussion over length, area and volume for B to A* candidates. The idea comes from a English observation mentioned on the website linked and has been put into a mathematical context. Place like dominos explaining the decision for the tiles placement in its given location thus revealing the deeper understanding of the student.

Quick reviewing of previous knowledge on pie charts. Designed around Easter.

Name the graph, higher tier.

Various activities designed to aid cooperative learning though students coaching each other on multiplication, division and conversion in metric units.

A selection of problems around interior angles for students to solve. Follows on from the investigation into how side lengths link to angle sums. Leads into exterior angles and other problems.
