Triangle Type Properties Classification Magenta Principles Maths Mastery Rap Battle Fun Activity Show the PPT. Have the discussion. Back it up with the the stickers the next lesson to get something in their books. Great for you to see what their level of understanding is. Lots of fun. Play some Eminem in the back ground and get them to rap their answers. Best answers so far ....I'd be a scalene triangle because I will have the greatest number of different weapons (i.e. angles) ....I'd be a very acute angled triangle because I could stand further away. I've thrown in somehelpful PowerPoints and word docs which will be needed to start the discussions.
Divisibility & Factors Starter

Divisibility & Factors Starter

(0)
Each slide asks "What is this number divisible by?" It then uses animation to show the factors of that number. A prompt then asks "How do we know". I'm planning to use this as a starter to learning Divisibility. The pupils will display their answers on their indivudal pupil whiteboards and then answer "How do we know" to the class or to their table mates.

All the key words you need for number properties lessons at KS3. Any of these words can be printed out and laminated on A5 size cards for the "SNATCH MATCH" game. This is where the words are blu tacked to the wall and students stand a metre away. Teacher (or a TA or competent pupil) asks questions where the answer is one of the snatch match cards. The students are usually in two teams facing the wall. Two students at a time have the opportunity to snatch the right card. Loads of fun!

245 Maths Mental Arithmetic Numeracy Oral Questions and Answers KS2 and KS3.

Made this a few years ago when there was still a MA test at KS2. I collected all the KS2 15 second questions I could and then made a few more versions of each type until I ended up with all these. You print them out on A4 card. Fold each card in half. Then give one sheet to a student. He/She then reads questions to his/her partner. If needed he/she shows the question hint which is on the far right of the table - hence the fold in the card. These work really well. Makes a nice lesson starter routine or ender. There are 45 sheets of A4 so should take a while for them all to be seen by every student.

WallGameCards = Snatch Match. Print, cut out and laminate. Blue tack them to your wall. Students stand a metre away in teams so that they compete against one person each. You (or a clever student or a TA) asks questions and the students compete to grab the card with the answer. DominoCardsHarder and 4SetsDominosCards = The original is really hard. I then split them into four card sets which makes each set much easier. Identify the triangles from their properties on the cards.

Three versions depending on whether you have a colour printer or not (I use the school colour printer to print the aliens onto the stickers and then bring them home and as and when I think of the questions I B&W print the questions on. If you have a colour laser then just print direct on the the "Colour" sticker. Also included a set of Exit Tickets for a lesson.

Collecting Like Terms Match Pairs Game. Notebook = find the matching simplified expressions by unhiding the expressions or the simplifications. Students can come out and unhide two. If they match they get another go. Good for memory as well as improving Maths skills Algebra Match Expressions Yes No Game.pptx is a simple game where each slide shows a pair of expressions. They either match or don't. Students indicate "Yes" or "No". They seem to love this - especially if you make it so they run to the left of the room for yes or run to the right for no. To add challenge get them to indicate yes or no on their whiteboards and then justify their answer. Or show the slide and then say "Think" and only allow them to hold up a yes or no card when you say "Show". This avoids them just copying their friends. Algebra Match Race Game is simply share out the cards and then show the slides on the PPT. There should be five cards which match each slide. First student to hand it in wins. The A4 answer sheet shows what the right answers will be. There is a matching "SuperChallenge" worksheet to use for this (with answers). This sheet is quite hard to complete. Simplifying Algebraic Expressions35Q's.pptx is the answers for a matching worksheet. Simplification&Expansion.PPTX is the answers for a matching worksheet. There are two versions of the WS. Original is all on one sheet of A4. The newer version has each section on a different page which is better if they are writing into their books rather than writing on the whole A4 sheet.

This was created to exemplify how showing working and being able to explain every step was essential. The SMART Notebook was used to create the images. They are then on PPT as an easy way to you to present. The questions are laid out on A4 to print on to stickers. Stickers are useful because it saves times in the classroom (something which observers have noted in the past). Also I like stickers because I can quickly allocate the best question for individuals. Also after the lesson you can easily set another question to an individual by giving them the next sticker in the set. The answers are included and the task sheet gives them the instructions. See my other resources for the guides on how to complete these problems. The SMART resources is included so you can easily modify the original questions. Also get the pupils to present on A4, scan in all the solutions and then display on the IWB and get them to critique their solutions - ticks a lot of boxes for discussion, mastery, etc
