Algebra revision carousel

A fun RAG activity to use as revision on simplifying expressions, solving linear equations and finding the nth term rule. There are instruction sheets included which can be given to 'topic specialists' (students who can understand that particular topic) so they can not only develop their understanding of the topic by having to be able to explain it to other students, but also it helps with the management of different groups around the room. After about 20 mins of having a go at the questions and marking them, you can rotate to a different topic. Help sheets and answers are also included.

Scale maps rally

Resource developed for a low ability Year 11 group but can be adapted for other year groups and abilities. Use the image of the map created, cut up along the lines. Each team has only one piece to the puzzle at a time. If they can work out the straight distance from each of the descriptions, they may have another piece to their puzzle. Great for a gentle competition in groups. Please comment - let me know what you think?

Noughts and Crosses Trigonometry - Finding the angle

(1)
<p>This resource has been designed to be a whole lesson. It focuses on finding an angle using trigonometry. I put together the noughts and crosses game, as a way of including a bit of competition in to the lesson, whilst practicing lots of different types of questions. Extension questions and an exit ticket are included also. Extension questions are from RAGmaths and can be found here: <a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/3d-trigonometry-11898103">https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/3d-trigonometry-11898103</a></p> <p>The noughts and crosses activity does need to be put together so that the crosses questions are on the back of the crosses, and likewise with the noughts. If partner A (crosses) gets their question correct, which will be checked by partner B (noughts), then they can turn their card over and place it in a cell of their choosing. As with the standard game of noughts and crosses, the winner will be the person who gets 3 in a row. Each partner has their opponents answers so feedback is instant.</p> <p>Please let me know what you think. And of of course, the template is adaptable to lots of different areas/topics in maths, so please do share any that you make using the template. I will upload any more that I make as and when I do. Enjoy!</p>

Designing a sporting event

(0)
This is a project to help students plan and design their own sporting event in their local area. Students were required to present their idea to the 'committee' at the end of the project, as if they were pitching the idea to actually run the event. RAG resource for filling in a bus timetable has also been included, but this will need adapting to the area around your school. The information on the 'venues' will also need adapting.<br /> <br /> Students had the choice between doing a power point presentation, a poster or both and worked in pairs throughout the whole project. The mark scheme has been attached with space to give two positives and an area for development to each student once they have presented their ideas.<br /> <br /> It encompasses a few areas of maths, so is a good project to do perhaps at the end of a term/ year.<br /> <br /> Enjoy, and as ever, feedback is welcome
