I've done this activity as part of circus of many activities in a lesson (Other circus activities listed on my TES Resources shop and pages) but you can make a whole lesson out of this depending on what you are trying to achieve. If you find it useful please leave a helpful review. Thank you.

Objective: Convert between common fractions, decimals and percentages and know common equivalents A simple table collaborative group activity worksheet where the students fill in as many sets of fractions decimals and percentage equivalents that they can remember. It is a good settling starter activity or a good recap plenary exercise to end with. Once they have done several minutes or so, start reading out sets of answers like "1/2 = 0.5 = 50%", etc. Then when you have exhausted your list ask the students to read out any more they have. Then award points to the most unique ones a table has. Most points = winning table. It's a good activity which gets them communicating as they try to get unique sets of equivalents.

It is what it is!

This is just a picture of a brain on A4. You write the topic title or the question on the left and then print out. (You could duplicate the page and then print both onto A4 so each is A5). Each student then fills it with what they know. e.g. **At the start of a lesson to recall everything they remember from yesterday, etc. **During the lesson to summarize or capture all the key information from e.g. a presentation or fact sheet. **At the end of the lesson to recap everything they've learnt. I've edited the picture of the brain to make it easier to write on with less bits to fill in. The student's can order their writing around the brain in any order they choose. It's not my idea and I've not use it yet so interested in any feedback.

Simply a sheet of notes and worked examples for working out the Mean Median Mode and Range. Two versions. The harder version is useful for finding missing values in sets of numbers when given the averages.

Objective: Simplify algebraic expressions by collecting like terms and then simplifying. 35 questions which identify particular types of questions like "a- a = 0" and not "0a", etc. The questions are copied from an excellent worksheet published by mathsmalakiss. I've used his/her worksheet which you can download yourself. However I have placed the questions into a PowerPoint to aid teaching.

Objective: Be able to find the percentage of a quantity (such as money amount) using a non calculator method. Real simple starter. Display the PowerPoint on the whiteboard. Print out the Starter worksheets onto A6 sized sheets or even 2 x 2 Label Sheets and the students come in, see the displayed slide and know to get straight onto their "bell task". Great way to settle them down. Use as a recap for last lesson or like I did to push them onto a harder example that just whole numbers. Use the enclosed Answers to check their working and so understanding. I call this method "Percentage by Quick Routes".. Usually taught via "bubble" or "spider" charts. See my other resources for more examples.

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

This is a really simple idea. Give out to each student a grid. The grid contains 3 rows of two. They then write six facts or points about a topic in the six boxes. Then they cut out the boxes (but only cut on the dotted lines) so that they create THREE domino cards. Each of the three domino cards now has two facts - one on either side of the bold line. The student now arranges the three dominoes in to a line (or even a triangle) and then annotates the link or connection between the two facts either side of the connection. E.g. They have written down six facts about angles: **4 angles in a square **angles on a straight line add up to 180 degrees **angles are measured in degrees ** right angles are 90 degrees **360 degrees in a full circle **triangle angles add up to 180 degrees You can see that if they place the fact '4 angles in a square' next to '360 degrees in a full circle' they can annotate the link by saying that 4 x 90 degrees is 360 degrees. You will notice that in the file I have produced tables with 3, 4, 5 and 6 dominoes in. I will give the more able students the greater challenge of having to first recall more facts and then make more links. My colleague has used this successfully however she wrote some facts on some of the dominoes first to get some students started. I'm thinking now that I may first use this activity by making up a set of cards for the class to see how to do it first in their groups. I've just made this ready for a History lesson on Victorian Factory conditions and you will see this in the files as well. It's not my idea and I've not use it yet so I'm interested in any feedback.

This has been really useful this - especially with a class who have a lot of students arriving late. I decide on my starter activity and take a "Snip" of it using the Windows Snipping Tool and then copy and paste the "Capture" onto this PowerPoint. Then as the students arrive give them them a copy of the starter as you greet them and have this PowerPoint showing on the presentation screen as a reminder. Once you've used a few times the students soon learn and follow the routine. Make the task long enough that no one finishes before the last person arrives and make sure it easy enough that they can all make a start on it.

The colour sheet prints out on A4 (card and laminate if you can). Get the sheets to each table of four and give them the apparatus (counters, dice, coins) and ask them to choose which game they think they want to play (and which game they would like to be the host of). I tried it without giving them any lessons on probability space diagrams before hand as I gave it as a problem solving lesson for them to come up with ways of finding all the outcomes themselves. Thanks to helbel11 for this. She has got a version of it up on TES which I like and it gave me the idea...It's very good. However, after I'd downloaded it I decided to make it a little easier for one of my classes. Hence the attached which has simpler experiments for the students to investigate.

Quite a simple worksheet which was created to address particular misconceptions and common errors in algebraic simplifications. Used as a starter assessment. Enjoy
