Huge bundle of resources on Ratio.
The key resource here is the "Runaround Game" where you mark out ten sections of the classroom floor and then place ten different ratios in the ten sections. Then give the students a selection of equivalent cards and they then go and place them in the right places

This is a great activity which I've used many times and always goes down well. It is the top two resources "Movement Game"
You put 36 A4 posters around the room with the numbers 1 to 36 on them (laminated). Then the cards with the factors on are laminated and cut out. You then have a big stack of number cards which are all the factors of all the numbers up to 36. Share the cards out around your players. Give them some blue tack each and then they run around the room trying to get rid of their cards.
For example: if they have a number one they can put it on any A4 number card.
if they have a number two they can put it on any A4 number card which is a multiple of two .e.g. 2, 4, 6, etc.
Obviously the number 36 appears only once so can only go in one place, numbers like 13 can go in a couple of places (13 and 26) so there are only two of them. However there are 36 ones and 18 twos. You need to ensure that they only put one of each number on each card. E.g. number six will need 1,2,3,6 but nothing else and no repeats.
This provides a lot of fun. How the class act on this depends on how good your behaviour management is and how engaged they are to complete it successfully...You always get some joker who just slaps down their cards onto the first A4 they can. Suggestions are use some key students to become Quality Control experts or something like that.
I've include some answers and some matching worksheets to back it all up. There is a lot of them but they all help reinforce the ideas . The BLOCKS worksheet is the one which I use the most!
Maths Mastery says that they should be explain their choices and answer questions like "Why is 7 only on these cards?" Etc
Hope you like it - I've used this loads of times as a starter, plenary or as the main of a lesson depending on the nature of the learners and where we are on the scheme.

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!

These labels trim out and fit exactly the school trays we all have. Save you having to design them. Then either laminate or stick plastic film over them. Hope it helps!

Divide your wall space into different sections and label each section with the "Poster Headings".
In particular add the "Finished what next?" labels onto the "Finished board" as a suggestion for what students can do when they have finished their set work

see my other resources on Ski Route Differentiation. This set of posters has been printed on to Green, Blue, red and White card and then laminated (as A4). The laminates have been placed on one of the notice boards and next to are poly pockets attached. Each lesson I can go and drop the four different ability tasks (as worksheets) into the poly pockets and then the students can choose the task they want to do.

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.

It's always worth setting your expectations of what the students should have. Obviously you could tweak these for your own learners but at least you've got a starting point here. It's a list of Essential maths equipment as a poster and then a check list (which doesn't quite match but would be easily amended to use with your form class.
You may wish to adjust the poster so it says "essential" then "desirable" depending on your learners.

Ten simple routines for a well ordered classroom.
Give your new class a chance to come up with some class rules to agree to. Alternatively use these ten and then just tweak them a little. Then print out the agreed rules on a poster and get them all to sign up to them. Then refer them back to this in the future as necessary.

This is well worth the download purchase cost because you can keep your students occupied for hours on these!
A maze worksheet where students have to find their way through a maze using a path of only square numbers. This is a top quality way to engage and amuse the students - particularly in afternoon lessons or at the end of the term as they seem to love it.
Once they have got the idea with the smaller mazes they can attempt the bigger ones - this will keep them busy for hours! (well most of the lesson with any luck). There are three versions of the practice simpler versions and then one harder (04) and then the hardest (05).
I'm putting up all my square numbers activities so check them out on TES shortly!

Hi all. I've found the "Flag colouring/football kits investigation" posted by another TES contributor "humel". It's a really nice simple idea which works well. I'm going to use it tomorrow to keep a class occupied whilst there is lots of other end of term distractions going on. See "humel"'s pages for the idea but here attached to this is a set of solutions and a PowerPoint which has timed "Transitions" and is looped so that you can leave it running on the projection screen. You can easily remove the transitions if you wish. You may notice that the PPT is more than 27 slides long in case the SMART Board software displays the number of slides and hence gives the game away.
