Give each student a box of mini smarties each and whizz through loads of topics including, 3D shapes, volume, simplifying, pictograms, ratio and lots more. Let me know any ideas I can add to this!
Straight forward worksheets to revise or consolidate percentages. Percentages of quantities, percentage increase, percentage decrease, expressing one number as a percentage of another,and finding the original amount.
Copy the 3D image onto the isometric paper and shade to look 3 Dimensional. Some are optical illusions. Given to me in my NQT year by the late great Graham Thompson and still engrosses any class I give it to.
Lego men blanks is a little booklet where students colour in lego men to see how many combinations when there are 4 tops and 4 bottoms. The powerpoint, smartboard and activinspire all go with this I made 3 because I have used it in different schools. This leads to the AND and OR rules. (If you are unsure for AND you multiply the probabilities for OR you add them)
Quick sheet I made for students to practise the four calculations for decimals. I wanted then to do all 4 at the same time as they were getting a bit muddled. I got them to stick this in the centre of their paper and show their calculations around the edges.
What is the value of the 5?
Unit, Tenth, Hundredth, Thousandth
Multiple choice starter, 10 questions with an answer slide. Very straight forward starter or plenary. Added a second file (value of the 6?) which just deals with units to thousands for a lower ability group.
Matching Qualitative, quantitative, discrete, continuous, primary, secondary to their meanings. The flipchart has examples of data collection with the types down the side so you can drag them on
I needed a plain sheet with questions on for students to practise the rules of indices. I found a good resource on here http://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resource/Indices-Index-Notation-MEP-GCSE-activities-6052143/ fab resource but it had more than I needed so I made these question sheets from the highlights. They are not exiting or innovative but plan to have a very interactive start to the lesson where they discover the rules and then this for consolidation and practise.
Quick starter or plenary matching exercise. 4 to a sheet for easy photocopying. I used to do a lot of cut and stick card sorts but now I prefer asking them to decide how to show me the matches. Some use colours or codes or arrows and saves glue/scissors/mess/time.
I started the lesson by just handing out a terrible questionnaire on the eating habits of teenagers as if I was collecting data (The class were outraged). They discovered the problems and then in groups wrote rules for writing a good questionnaire. The mid section of the lesson was using the textbook but then for a plenary they rewrote the bad questionnaire. I found the bad questionnaire starter on here from another tes uplaoder and adapted it to suit.The 'Eating Habits of Teenagers' is A5 size
I wanted to create a resource that bridged the gap between filling a missing number in a box to using letters. This would be good for low ability groups or those students who continually say they just don't 'get' algebra. Wanted a really straight forward resource but added a code cracker to stop it being to dry. (Original glitch sorted! phew)
I created a sheet with simple worded problems, a space to show their sum, and a space for the answer.
I wanted my students to get used to reading problems and then writing the sum in preparation for exams which often have functional problems and marks for working.
Odd, Even, Triangular, Square, Prime, Composite, Factor, Multiple all in a search and then a card sort for more able. The powerpoint has the number search on a slide which works well if put on the whiteboard as students can highlight the answers they have found. The slides with the numbers in the middle are my starter. I asked the students to write what they knew and what they could do with the number then think/pair/share then they added to it as issues came up from the search and sort demonstating their progress.
I made this for a group who didn't get on with looking for divisibility and need very clear instructions. In each box they find all the multiplications which have the answer at the top, then list the factors at the bottom. This makes it simple to find the highest common factor.
There is a matching activity to help students identify link. Then there is a matching activity for the operations alone and one which is in the right order in case you wanted to give students a revision aid for their book.
A quick worksheet I made when revising the names for Isosceles, Scalene and Equilateral Triangles.
Students fill in the words following class discussion then put initial in each triangle. Good as a starter or plenary.
2 to a page so saves copy cost and easy to stick in books. One triangle is right angled as a challenge I ask students to find it and mark it on leading into right angled triangles too.
Please review.
Finding fractions of words to form a joke. Fun & cross curricular too - you may want a dictionary handy!! This was a really old much loved and photocopied sheet I was given by a collegue (Thanks Sue) and I created an electronic version.
A set of ppt slides with pictures and the students look for which there is most of eg. dogs or cats. Created to enable very low ability KS3 students to understand this average.
