"The three ways to estimate probability are" worksheet first describes the three ways to estimate probability an d then asks 20 questions where the students have to identify the best way to estimate the probability.
Two versions of the WS available - one is better if you don't like the students copying out and prefer them to stick in sheets.
A lesson built around the objective: Develop further understanding leading to mastery of scatter graphs.
The idea is that after a starter exercise the class move around in tables of four attempting each of the circus activities. Then they are given a written exercise to back it up and then a whole class plenary activity. See the attached lesson plan.
The good points noted by an observer of this lesson were:
*Collaborative learning in mixed ability groups
*Pupils could explain the decisions they made
*Use of subject specific vocabulary buy the pupils
*Opportunities for Mastery
*Use of Magenta Principle - Arrange
*Encourage pupils to challenge answers.
Not all the resources listed in the plan are located here. Some come from other TES contributors, but as long as you get a collection of activities which each take about the same duration you can set up a good Circus of activities.
Starter comes from Scatter Graph Matching Cards by "john_speight"
The "Six Cards Discussion" is the attached PPT. This is excellent for prompting discussion. Some of the slides are copied from some other Contributors resources.
The True/False is my TES free resource "11307990". This is the activity which has the most discussion
The Correlation match posters come from Scatter graphs and best-fit lines by "frickard". This was quite short so needs extra added otherwise this group finishes too quickly.
The draw LOBF worksheet is one part of Scatter diagrams / scatter graphs by "jsteingold"
The L7 & L6 questions are some good scatter questions from KS3 Testbase.
The written questions are for sale as a Premium resource from my TES shop. It is simply a list of 14 questions laid out on a sheet of A4 stickers so that students can choose which question to answer.
The plenary is just a series of knowledge recall questions on a PowerPoint to do as a class Q&A.

All you need to have a lesson based on rolling one die and recording the outcomes.
I’ve done this activity as part of circus of many activities in a lesson (Other circus activities listed on my TES Resources pages) but you can make a whole lesson out of this depending on what you are trying to achieve.
Many different versions of the task sheets. Look at them all and decide on the best to suit your learners. Several different versions of Excel Spreadsheets to record the results on - including one which I can’t remember how it works (the RANDOM one).

There is always a confusion between quadrilaterals such as Parallelograms, Squares and Rhombuses. When drawn on grid paper they can get mixed up. Hence this activity. I've collected all the resources I've used for this so there is a good mix and you will be able to use/adapt most of this for your classes. Enjoy
I've also added PDF versions of the SMART files (November 2016)

Objective: Know common equivalents between Fractions, Decimals and Percentages.
10 simple questions which they should know (rather than have to work out).
10 Questions on a PowerPoint. Ready to show. Just give the class a small slip of paper. Ask them to write down 1 to 10 and then show them the questions. Once done swap the papers and then continue through showing the answers - asking the students to share how they did it or knew it.

This isn't my idea but I really like it. It can be used by a range of ages. You can set harder questions like "only use fractions" or "you have to use negatives". The Word doc is some sample solutions for you to get an idea from. Enjoy
It's always worth setting your expectations of what the students should have. Obviously you could tweak these for your own learners but at least you've got a starting point here. It's a list of Essential maths equipment as a poster and then a check list (which doesn't quite match but would be easily amended to use with your form class.
You may wish to adjust the poster so it says "essential" then "desirable" depending on your learners.

This is simply four basic expectations which was used in a school in a Behaviour for Learning Focus week. I adapted them lightly for my Maths Lessons and I found them very useful to refer in lessons.

Here is a fun differentiated engaging Bingo game where students are tested on whether they know their angle types such as no turn, acute angle, right angle, obtuse angle, straight angle, reflex angle and full turn.
Students can choose their own nine numbers or the teacher can give out any of seventy-two randomised bingo cards. There are four sizes of bingo card depending on your preference and photocopy budget.
Edit: After playing it in class it is better with 12 numbers per game if using the generated Bingo cards. They are now included as well - there’s 126 unique cards which make for a lot of games. These are laid out to print on to A4 sheets of 3x7=21 labels
The slides provide six games of 24 angles (which is enough to provide a winner):
The first three games support learners by specifically describing the angle type. The fourth game only provides the angle type and a generic description
The fifth & sixth game (hardest) only provides the angle type.
Example of two questions
7. A __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ is 180 degrees.
8. The space (usually measured in degrees) between __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ an angle.

Here are two sets of domino loop cards. You can use them for starters and then back them up with the matching worksheet or use as a plenary and then use the matching worksheet as the next days starter.
You print them onto A4 card and cut them out. Then shuffle and give a set to your students. They have to rearrange the cards into a line order by matching the question to the answer. They are all questions like "The probability of getting a six on a fair die is..."
The first set has 22 cards and the second (which is longer to complete and the questions are harder as well) has 34 questions.
Afterwards (I like to get something into the student exercise books) there are matching worksheets where some of the questions have to be reworked out and written onto the sheets before the sheet is stuck in. There are two versions of each worksheet (One has more answers to put in so you can give to your quicker students).
All in you are getting two sets of domino cards, each with two matching worksheets. Solutions to the domino cards and the worksheets are included!
You could easily modify each of these card sets and WS to reduce the questions down to less for your lower/slower students.
