I taught in a range of schools for many years before moving into FE, where I found creative and imaginative approaches just as rewarding with adults. Most of my resources are concerned with giving control to the learner, through a range of methods. Some are great for just giving them experience of examination questions, and the chance to discuss these with other learners. I now concentrate on spreading the range of creations from UK KS1 to KS4, and across the Common Standards.

A simple little activity that can get the learners thinking - no more than a warm up. Ask the question, and show the second screen. You don't need to face the screen, just know the position of the cards. A learner tells you which cards (first, second, third etc.) contain the date of their birth. The rest is the puzzle!
