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.

Start of year give them the booklet. Go through it using the intro presentation. Put a sticker in front of their books Get them to discuss strategies and the "Discussion Cards" give them prompts for how to solve problems - intention is from this THEY come up with how to solve problems (you can then give out the guides afterwards) The keywords are just something I found on the WWW. Sad to happy is a discussion exercise to get students to think about how to get "unstuck" Couple other resources included. Hope it helps!

The PowerPoint has 35 slides with each detailing a children's party game. You'll need to prepare the resources for each one (some don't need any). What it gives you is 35 great tried and tested ideas of what has worked for me so you won't have to do the thinking. I'd like to think the games are obvious but ....Message me if you can't work out what the game is (but only after you've asked a few of your colleagues or looked it up on the Web!) I've found that if you choose a few games to get warmed up. then you can flick through the PPT and see what the children want to do next. Do the opposite and Kims Game are included as they needed a PowerPoint too. Have fun :)!

I saw this on another teachers wall. Made it up for my wall! Enjoy

I saw the phrase on another teachers wall and liked the idea and came up with these. To save time making the resource I put the logo on a different doc so you have to put the PICTURES through the printer twice to get the WORDs on. Download the music when you introduce it. Sample just the key phrase which Vanilla Ice sings and loop it. The class got really into it.. so much so that when I said "STOP!" they all said "Collaborate and Listen"

I made these to help me save time when marking the books- If I wrote it several times one day I went home and made a sticker for it.. You need to buy the appropriate sized stickers. I got mine from eBay. The one I use the most is "Extra Challenge" which saves you having to write "Here is an extra challenge for you to do". Hope they help you too!

These can be used in so many ways.... I favourite is to write a question like "Mr Wrong said that Triangles have four sides. " Now explain why he is wrong. Other versions are shown. The A5 & A4 can be used where the students write several statements and then give to another student who identifies the incorrect and correct statment.. Enjoy

I bought eight gold bowler hats. When the students finish their work if it is right they can earn a gold hat and then spend the remaining time going around the class helping others. Some really love it and really rush to ear a hat. It doesn't work all the time and you have to watch out for rushing and so sloppy work however if you clearly state the success criteria and then only pass the best then it works.

You can you this in many ways: Grade the work you are giving by difficulty. Indicate on each question what grade they are from green to black. Either tell the students to do all the greens first and then move on, or allow them to choose what colour to start on. Or go around the classroom indicating to each student what they have to start on. Get students to write their own questions to set to other members of the class. Ask them to grade it from Green to black. This is good for assessing what they are comfortable at and what they think they are capable of. The PPTX can be printed out onto A3 as a poster for the wall. I sometimes need a harder than black and calling it double black seems to fit. When time allows I print the questions (with their colour grade) on a sheet of A4 sticker labels. I then give each table a sheet which will have all the questions on. If your table has four students on it there will be a discussion if there are only three green questions as someone will have to do a blue. This idea came from someone else who routinely ski route grades all their work and allows the learners to start at the level most appropriate to them. I had previously seen it presented as here are four questions on the board, now choose the question you want to do first. Recently I have seen people (and now used it myself) where several questions are given and the students have to grade them and explain why they think one is easier than the others. This ties in with my Maths Mastery Kung Fu Panda (see other premium resource) Enjoy

Loads of resources to help in the classroom GOGO = Pupils write three and then go around and find three more Consensus Place mat = Table of four each write their answers around the outside in their space and then agree on a common answer Question Pyramid - Template to help you plan your questions so that they satisfy Blooms Taxonomy and have a mix of higher and lower order questions. One picture starter to use for this and two prompt cards which ask students to give evidence. Reflection pie can be used where the group have to agree on how much of the activity they participated in and show it on a pie chart. Put it on A3 and then get them to draw a pie chart which they all agree on. Target Achieved label can help improve effort Yes No cards can be used by individuals to give answers or to display when they are stuck. Posters go on wall if you are having them run left or right for Yes or No. The dice number cards you make up and give one to each student on a table (up to six). You can then ask all the ones to give an answer etc.

C3B4Me Poster and Exercise Book Sticker Seen this idea which I've adapted for my learners. It relies on having your classroom wall displays up to date so that students can always see display related to the work they are doing. You have to work to get the balance right between not answering their hands up when they are stuck and helping them..The intention is that they should become resilient independent learners.

Exit tickets are given out at the end of a lesson. You need to amend the questions according to what you want to find out from the students. They then write the tickets and park them on a ticket park before they leave. I made these with a unique random number on so I could play some additional games with them. Golden Nugget = similar idea attached Mobile Phone = Similar idea = write in 140 characters what you have learnt. Post Card = Similar Idea = Write on a postcard what you know Target Achieved = Good for encouraging effort

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.
