Every week it's good to nominate a student of the week. It makes sense to tell your class what you consider to be positive behaviours which will help them to get nominated. This poster lists lots of positives. It's in MS Publisher. Change the border art to your school logo and place a larger copy of your school logo in the top corner.

Here are 14 questions which you can give to each table or pair as a sheet of stickers and the students can choose the questions they want to answer. These are great as afterwards you can mark their books and either give them a further challenge based on what they wrote or slap in another sticker for them to do as their next lesson starter challenge. The questions are designed for them to show that they have mastered the concepts of scatter graphs and lines of best fit. These fit in with the lesson I have uploaded for free on to TES resources (Resource 11313391).

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.

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"

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.

Developed and used successfully with a Y8 class once I had built up a good relationship with them. Adapt and modify to suit your classes. There's enough in here for much older students - possibly up to Y11 but I wouldn't go much younger than that - however you know your classes. The "Relationships LESSON PRESENTATION" gives the kind of structure for everything. The titles do give away what you will get in the bundle. I'm not going to describe everything else as once you open them they are all obvious how you can use them.

Divisibility Division Number Properties SMART Response Senteo Notebook FOUR Quizes

Simple PowerPoint (with 50 slides) asking whether numbers are divisible by three or not. Each time annimation then says "Yes" or "No". Use it after teaching it as a plenary or as a discussion as a starter. Pupils can write their answers (and then show the correction) on individual pupil whiteboards - either on own, in pairs or in tables of four. Pupils can use red, green, yellow (for don't know) cards to show their answer. For extra fun you can have them point "Usain Bolt Style" to the left or right of the room for their answer. For complete chaos you can have them run to the left of the right of the classroom for yes or no. The important thing is to get pupils to explain their answers to help everyone's understanding. You can quite easily and quickly add many more questions by simply duplicating a yes or no slide and adding in your changes. I would usually back this exercise up with a worksheet or textbook exercise which they can do independently afterwards. You can extend this by getting the pupils to make up their own slides (on their whiteboards) to test other pupils.

Two KS3 examination questions on finding unknown angles on triangle diagrams. One is L5 one is L6 (Old NC Levels). You can use these in a variety of ways.... as a starter to test after last lesson or as a plenary as an assessment of progress that lesson. You can see that there are versions to print on A3 as I often start with a collaborative exercise where all four students work around one large sheet and then discuss the best solutions. Recently I have been giving tasks like these on A4 squared paper and then they all do their solution in silence. we then scan in the solutions and choose some students to come and talk through their working on the IWB. If I do a group activity I like to back it up into the exercise books so usually give it to them on A5 or A6 to reproduce themselves on their own. This can be the next lesson after the class exercise.

A list of points to reinforce with your students to improve the presentation in their Mathematics exercise books. If students know what working is needed and why it is important to show it in their exercise books, they are more willing to show the necessary working. If students know what the expectations are in terms of presentation, layout and attention to detail, they are more likely to take a pride in their exercise books. This is based on posters and book labels seen in several schools. I have amended to fit my learners and I've uploaded it as a MS Word file so that you can tailor it for your learners.

This is a series of templates for using to promote pace in lessons when students are working independently (or perhaps in pairs). Most exam questions are roughly 1 mark per minute so students need to increase their pace if they are to complete their papers. The idea is that you give them a set amount of time to do each question and then through out you give them reminders of the time elapsed. The template encourages them to work against the clock to complete the questions and so up their pace. If you see the MS Publisher file for the example which is four questions to be completed in eight minutes. The MS PowerPoint contains SEVEN templates which you can print out and use. Simply hand write the questions around the clock face and then write on the number of minutes for each one. There are two pages of usage notes included on the PowerPoint to help you implement the resource in your lessons. It's a great idea which I saw on TES resources (MrsMorgan1) and so thank you to her for sharing. I've adapted it for my learners. This is what my colleague said "My class really took to it and I was pleased with how eager they were to finish" If you like this then check out my many other activities listed on my TES Resources Shop (Stewsterthebear) which includes many free and Premium resources which will save you lots of time and give you some useful ideas. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/Stewsterthebear If you find this resource useful then please do leave a constructive review so that others can benefit from your experience.
