Here's a Display idea I got from Jim Smith's 'Lazy Teacher Handbook'. The idea of the 'stuck-o-meter' is that it is stuck up in the classroom and students can post 'post-it' notes on it when they are stuck on a problem/activity/question etc. I then answer the questions as they are stuck on, or get other students to help if they know the answer to problem!
This is the thirteenth of 17 Mathematics sheets in the 'Raymond's Rovers&' series of my Mathematics Sheets. I use this sheets with Year 11s for revision purposes.

Here is a powerpoint I used with my Year 11 tutees to revise with them their P2 exam (part of the AQA Science Double Award). This is part 9 of 10 powerpoints I used - look out for the others!

Here's a set of 50 Mathematics Taboo Cards I have created; easy to change the Key words/taboo words as needed. I print these out, laminate them and then use them in class for revision or as a starter activity to engage students. Good for literacy across the curriculum.
A lesson (ppt) to go through the differences between expressions, equations, identities and formulae.
Starter involves getting students to write their own definitions of an expression before discussing as a class which is the best definition.
Main tasks include being given definitions for the equations, identities, and formulae. Simple equations to solve, '2 facts 1 lie' type activity for identifying identities, formulae to substitute into and work out the value of a variable.
After these an activity that involves students stating whether something is an expression, equation, identity or formula, answers included. Then, a '2 facts 1 lie' and review of learning plenary at the end of the lesson.
A worksheet (pdf) and editable ppt file on finding the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of 2 numbers. There are 7 questions in total across 3 pages. There are boxes for students to write in the factors of each number before selecting the highest common factor. Some factors are pre-populated for students to guide them along the way. Fewer factors are given as the questions progress. Best printed as a booklet so students can fold and stick in their exercise books. Aimed at lower-ability sets. Could be used as a homework/cover worksheet too.
This bundle includes: Equivalent Fractions, Fractions of Amounts & Percentages of Amounts.
An engaging activity for students to consolidate their learning. Students answer the questions on the sheet and then, once they have the answer, colour in the corresponding section of the large grid to create a pattern. All details are fully explained in the resource itself, with lots of additional ideas as to how to get the best out of the resource, including: extension activities, challenge questions and suggested variations on the activity. All answers included

I made these loyalty cards earlier in the year to be used with Y11 classes revising for their GCSEs. Can be easily adapted for any subject/year group where you can offer rewards for improvement, enthusiasm and performance in your lessons.

Here is an idea I got from Paul Ginnis' 'Teachers Toolkit'. The codebreaker task gets students to use their algebraic knowledge to crack a code. I put the code up on the board and hand out envelopes in groups of the equations for the groups to work on. Each letter corresponds to a number. Code revealed is 'Focus, Learn, Achieve'.
