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.
Nice PowerPoint with some quick questions on equivalence and a similar exercise

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.
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.
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.
Golden nugget is a plenary review activity - great as when you mark the books you immediately have something to feedback on for them to respond to at the start of the next lesson.
Alien Sticker is like Golden nugget - however - three versions. You see there is a colour version as I print onto labels in colour first and then I can put the questions on using the B&W printer. you could easily put the Alien images on the three WS.
Domino Cards - two versions - for angle sums - pretty simple but ticks the box for Magenta Principles/Mastery. I usually back it up with a written version of the cards or "what have you learnt task" - see above
The note fact sheet is to save them copying into their books
The lesson plan doesn't quite fit all of these resources but I've thrown it in for free
The true false questions are great for Mastery, Magenta Principles and Discussion. You could display on the board and discuss as a class or give out as cards to discuss in pairs or groups. I would usually back this up into their books with - "Choose one to now describe and explain in detail"
The LO labels are all the ones I used for this topic. Don't know how useful they are to you but I've thrown them in.
Angles in Polygons Glossary Knowledge Test MCQ Senteo SMART Response NINE Quizes
These are really useful. There is a progression between the quizzes from basic properties of quadrilaterals moving onto finding angles on regular polygons, etc.
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!
I've searched my hard drive for all Word docs made by me with the term "Keyword" Here theya re. I've opened them all and there's some really useful stuff in there - hopefully most are obvious from their file name but you will also find some gems in there as well.
What I've started doing recently is always putting the keywords for that lesson on an A3 poster so that if the children want to use them they can look up to get the spellings right.
Hope you find these useful ....I have found them to be.
