Interactive Spreadsheet on the probability of picking coloured counters.

A series of Excel worksheets to tally groups and produce summary statistics and statistical diagrams.

This transition project allows pupils to handle data in a real life context. The work is split over four year groups from Years 5 to 8, with opportunity for groups to revisit the previous year’s results. Year 5 collects discrete data, finds the mode and range and displays the results on an interactive bar graph. Year 6 collects discrete data, finds the mode, median, mean and range and displays their results on an interactive pictogram. Year 7 collects discrete data and displays their data on an interactive scatter diagram.

A resource which presents how to sort, search, graph and create a database. This resource is divided into 5 parts: Sorting Searching one field Searching two field Graphing Creating a database All the units follow the same pattern e.g., searching: Teacher notes Starter activity - an animation which shows what searching means. Session 1 - interactive activities which give the pupils an opportunity to see if they have understood what was presented in the Starter Activity. Session 2 - An introduction to a computer simulation. The animation presents how to search with data handling software.

This resource pack teaches pupils how to create a scatter diagram. It is split into sections taking pupils through the process step by step allowing them to interact with the resource before showing them the answers. Pupils can plot the data and draw the line of best fit then use the graph to estimate particular values. Section 2 allows the pupils to build on this work by drawing and comparing graphs to answer questions.

An interactive markbook with sheets to track behaviour, attendance and mark for year 7 (although the resource could be easily adapted to suit other year groups). The mark sheet allows for 3 assessments to be averaged using a weighted mean then levelled via percentage to a National Curriculum level. The markbook also contains a timer and a hyperlinked FrontPage to resources. PLEASE NOTE: You will need to have the ‘Analysis toolpak’ and ‘VBA analysis toolpak’ installed in order to run these sheets correctly.

4 Excel workbooks covering Area, Linear Equations, Percentages and Sequences.

A selection of lesson starters, created in MS Excel, targeting mental skills and strategies in a variety of topics.

DescriptionOpportunity to explore a wide range of calculations and ways of solving problems using the calculators. Other topics covered: Number

These Developing thinking activities cover the following topics: Algebra: nth term Simultaneous equations Data Handling: Probability scale Scatter diagrams and correlation Number: Blockbusters Number magic & solving equations Shape: Transformations What shape am I?

Here are 4 Classroom Ensembles to be used during Year 7 and are original compositions by Jenny Rimmer. Each ensemble contains a variety of differentiated parts for tuned & untuned percussion instruments, Keyboard and orchestral instruments. Instrumental resources in each school vary and the teacher is given complete freedom to modify which instrument plays the various parts. Pupils, most certainly, should be encouraged to bring in orchestral instruments to the lessons and a number of the ensembles include parts for instruments in B and E flat.

This resource introduces the polyrhythmic style of Latin American Samba and identifies its roots in African and Spanish/Portuguese music. Through performing Samba pupils will learn the sounds and understand the roles of each instrument used in Samba and experience the exhilaration and physical impact of percussion ensemble music. This unit is based on 6 hour long sessions, but this can be altered to suit the teaching requirements. The sequence of learning activities have been written only as a guideline.

This resource is aimed at Year 7 students. It includes a detailed lesson plan and accompanying music files. Students will begin to produce an instrumental backing track to accompany a group rap piece by: Identifying key features in a backing track Learning how to input a basic drum pattern on Cubase Learning how to input a basic bass riff on Cubase Copying, pasting and looping motifs Altering the tempo as necessary

By the end of this lesson students should be able to: Compose a piece of programme music based on a Welsh folk story Use a storyboard, thinking about timings, to create their composition and show their musical ideas through the use of graphic scores Evaluate and refine their work Give recordings and performances
