Senteo SMART Response Quizes Factorising and expanding Algebraic Brackets Assessment

I find that five questions is enough to assess progress and it doesn't take up too much time. There is ELEVEN different quizes included.

Big Number Multiplication = 10 questions like 13 x 7 followed by the answers so you can set it as a quiz. Multiply up to 12 x 24 = same as above - different version. Extra Q's Multiply larger than 12 times tables WS = 30 question WS larger Multiplications = 40 Questions - Note answers are hidden and will appear when you change the font colour from white.

to encourage the use of the correct language and the basic understanding of the basic concepts I made this activity which has worked well with several classes. There is plenty of opportunity for discussion and sharing of what students know. The Notebook was used to create the images which can be printed out onto individual sheets. Then use the LO Label to "Choose one of the diagrams of red and green balls. Then glue it underneath this sticker and then write as much as you can about that diagram using the language on the prompt cards." Afterwards use the WS with the class. Use the BallsQuestion.PPTx to go through the answers. Get several students to each write their answers on the powerpoint (on the IWB)

A bundle of worksheets for mastering the language and knowledge of squaring and square numbers...Then....a bonus of a maze worksheet where students have to find their way through a maze using a path of only square numbers. This is a top quality way to engage and amuse the students - particularly in afternoon lessons or at the end of the term. Once they have got the idea with the smaller maze they can attempt the bigger one - this will keep them busy for hours! (well most of the lesson with any luck).

It it is what it is - fifty five questions on a worksheet. Answers included.

I've often needed to display random numbers on the board so have created some powerpoints to do this. there is one which contains any of the first 100. The other two contain just up to 36 which is useful for learning about factors, etc. I have printed out the first 100 numbers on A4 before and then given each student one of the sheets to decorate and make a poster about that number as a review after studying number properties. To help them do this there are mix of help info sheets. There is also a worksheet of discussing the first 20 numbers and their properties.

Simple intro PPTs and practice questions

Getting the students to discuss possible errors and decide on the difficulty of questions is good for improving understanding and good for you to assess misconceptions and progress. There are eight incorrect expansions of algebraic brackets - the students have to identify the errors

Ten questions where an equation is given and four possible solution choices. Students have to choose which is the right solution and obviously justify it to you. The mouse is on a balancing log as a reminder that equations must balance!

A set of questions like: Given that "2p + UNKNOWN = 14" Complete the equation so that the solution is p = 5

There are sixteen pairs of expressions on the target board. Students have to identify the sixteen pairs. This can be done as a target board whole class activity or printed onto card and cut out to allow tables or pairs to match the cards.

Set of cards for sharing out to the whole class. They work out the answers for their cards. You show the PowerPoint which gives the prompts and the students have to hand back their cards as theirs come up. Pretty simple but the kids love it. It wouldn't take much to edit the cards docx to turn it into a back up worksheet so that something can be put into their book.

It is what it is!

Three questions presented with worked solutions. Each solution has at least one mistake in it. Your students need to spot the mistakes. PowerPoint and Word WS version

There two versions of this. One shows the graphs and then on next click shows the equation. The other shows the equations and then on next click shows the graph. Get the the students to show the answers on their whiteboards before you display the answer.

It is what it is!

"When the equation appears, make the shape of the graph with your arms, body and or legs and if the graph is raised up (translation) then jump up. If it is a translation down then crouch down." There are three versions of the PPT with different ways of presenting the graphs. This is not my original idea. I first saw it done with quadratic and other curved graphs. I just adapted the idea to make resources to only show linear graphs. You'll find the quadratic graph dancing routine on another contributors resources. This is a huge amount of fun for the class. You can lead them from the front at first, but very soon they can lead and even choreograph their own routines.. Hence the story board for them to plan their routines. Then get them to choose their own music and video their routines. Awesome! (Does fill up a lot of time though which is rarely justified)

The rabbits WS asks some questions like if there are 2x rabbits today and x leave the burrow how many are left. etc. The Mini Questions are a simple starter for students to put into algebra some simple expressions. The PPT can be used to show the possible answers for them to choose from if you need it. The starter.docx is a simple starter to get them thinking about different expressions. The PPTx is the answers. Explain These PPTx is a great starter to check understanding of different similar expressions like 4x and x^4. My AlgebraicExpressions is a nice intro resource for expressions. I used this by showing each slide one by one and getting the class to all write what they think the solutions are on their whiteboards. After playing this the worksheet is used to back it up into their exercise books.
