These 30 follow me cards are a great way to revise rules of exponents. There are two possible starting points, so differentiation is built into the activity. It includes simplification of multiplying and dividing terms with powers, evaluating fractional exponents and working with negative powers.
Play is similar to dominoes, where the cards are placed end to end with the question to the answers, but each question only has one answer. Students connect the questions and answers together forming a chain, with questions steadily getting harder.
This is the US version, using the term Exponents. For the UK version that uses the terminology indices, click here.
Some ideas for how to use follow me cards:
-Have a treasure hunt, around the classroom or outside. Students start with the starter card and record the solutions in the table.
-Students each take ownership of a card, and then get themselves in line correctly with the answers. If there are more than 30 students, assign some students as ‘managers’. If there are less than 30 students, the rst students to connect their cards can be given the remaining cards.
-Cut each card in half and give the students a matching activity. They can then glue the answers into their books.

These 30 follow me cards are a great way to revise order of operations questions. It includes plenty of examples where students us BIDMAS/BODMAS/PEDMAS to solve problems. It includes questions to highlight misconception such as 7-3+5 (students often mistakingly add the 3 and 5 first). There are two possible starting points, so differentiation is built into the activity.

This activity offers a different way to teach tally and pictographs. Students choose 20 sweet cards from the sweet deck (or any amount you choose from the 45 cards). We recommend that 20 cards offers the most interesting collection to work with.
Students are invited to collect the data of their chosen cards and write it on the tally sheet. Finally, the students will then plot it on a pictograph. Three pictograph sheets are included, one that has a key of one image = one sweet, one of one image = 2 sweets, and a final one where students can input their own ratio of image to sweets.
The nature of this activity means that each student should, in theory, produce their own tally and bar graph, unique from other students in the class.
We have also included differentiated versions of the worksheets themselves for those who need a little help with matching the sweets colours to the name.
This is the US version of this activity. For the UK version, where the word Candy has been replaced with Sweet, please click here.

These KaBoom cards are a fun way to practice finding the Greatest Common Factor and the Least Common Multiple of two or three numbers, with differentiation built in.
Players choose whether they want to choose an easier question (red), but will receive less points for their correct answer, or risk a more challenging question (green) and gain greater rewards.
The red cards consist of questions involving simpler GCF and LCM questions that can be worked out by listing the factors and multiples of the given numbers. The Yellow Cards of questions which require finding prime factors first. The Green Card consists of more challenging questions involving 3 numbers, or multiples of 7 and 13.
Begin by laying all the cards out face down (so you see only the number of points they are worth). Players take turns to select a card, either red, yellow or green. The difficulty of the question will increase. They may also pick up either steal, giving them a chance to steal from any other player, shield, which protects them from the next KaBoom, and KaBoom cards which means you lose all your collected points so far.
Play as a whole class in teams, or print multiple copies as play around the table. If students get the answer incorrect, or they need some help, use your judgement as to whether you will allow them another guess or not. Questions answered incorrectly go in the ‘house’ pile, along with any cards lost in a KaBoom. At the end of the game, add up
the ‘house’ pile. The winner is the player or team with the highest points (including any shield cards that have been unused). The house can win.
Included are two copies of the game; one designed for a duouble sided printer and one designed for single sided printing where you need to turn over the pages yourself to print double sided.
Full answers are included.

Some ideas for how to use follow me cards:
Have students race to connect the cards.
Have a treasure hunt, around the classroom or outside. Students start with the starter card and record the solutions in the table.
Students each take ownership of a card, and then get themselves in line correctly with the answers. If there are more than 30 students, assign some students as ‘managers’. If there are less than 30 students, the first students to connect their cards can be given the remaining cards.
Cut each card in half and give the students a matching activity. They can then glue the answers into their books.
For an advanced start, begin on page two of the record sheet (the first card number is given).
