Print this out onto A4 cards. Give two cards to each table (choose size of number according to ability). Ask them to come up with reasons how we know that they are all divisible by three. Hopefully they will get that it is the sum of digits which are multiples of three. Show the PowerPoint to recap. Back up with other exercises to reinforce this. Then evaluate/consolidate their knowledge by showing them new numbers and asking whether they are divisible by three or not.

All the keywords with explanations presented as a very useful overview of topic fact sheet. As an intro to linear algebraic graphs I have put together all the keywords you need into a word search. After giving your students this ask them to write definitions of all the terms in the word search. Alternatively give them the fact sheet. They can paste into their books and after highlighting can use it as a reference page whilst studying the topic.

This is a top idea which I've used many times and I think it really does provide some great discussion. The probability of it snowing tomorrow is not 1/2 as it doesn't snow very often. However students often think that as the choice is either "snow" or "not snow" so the chance of it snowing must be a half. The activities here are designed to address this misconception. Originally I used this as a short 10 minute activity as part of a whole lesson of many circus activities (many other of my circus activities are listed on TES resources) however you can easily build a whole lesson around it. The activity has nine discussion questions to decide if they are true or false. The PowerPoint is simply those questions so that you can display them to discuss them as a class. The WS is good for a homework or as a classwork exercise to get something in the book. Alternatively you could simply ask them to choose one of the questions to write into their books and then describe in detail the answer. The Mr Wrong questions are useful as starters next lesson or plenaries today. You could easily amend the questions within in them to suit the point you are trying to make with your learners. The label is obvious. The A5 asks the student to choose which Mr Wrong is wrong (the other is right) and the A4 has two versions. The A4 can be used in many ways. E.g. You can ask them to write four statements (where one is true and the rest is false) and then they pass to another student to work it out. Alternatively you could write on the statements and they could identify the right and wrong ones. You can change the statements. For example on the A5 you could make both statements false (catches them out Ha Ha!) Enjoy. Please do leave feedback if you found it useful. Thank you.

Lots of questions for practice of finding solutions using trial and improvement. Some realted to solving algebraic equations some related to finding square roots of number s and some related to finding the lengths of rectangles given the area.

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.

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.

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.

A set of questions like: Given that "2p + UNKNOWN = 14" Complete the equation so that the solution is p = 5

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"

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.

This is a really good resource of over 40 challenging questions which will get your students thinking and discussing their answers and methods. When you are being observed (well anytime really but...) you need to be going around the groups challenging them on their thinking. Obviously there is only one of you so it's good if you can give them the prompts for their discussions. These resources will help this. I have been told many times that a lesson plan should contain detail of the key questions which you are going to ask during the lesson. Some of these questions were put on my last observed lesson plan and it showed that I had thought about what I was trying to achieve from the students. The original file I created was the Publisher file which has five key questions which I printed on A4 and gave one copy to each table of four. One student then challenges questions to the other three. You can move this role around the table. This work quite successfully but it relies on a certain amount of routine from the students so it does require you training them. Recently I've collected a load of questions to add into the list. I've tried to be comprehensive to cover many different circumstances. There are a few similar to each other but I've added much to each one to try to develop the understanding. They are presented in a table format so it would be easy for you to pick out the questions you most want to ask and amend them if needed. Alternatively you could print out & cut up the cards and then simply pick out the ones you want. I have also now just picked out the eight questions myself from the list of 41 and put on A4 ready for printing onto card. These are probably the ones I would use. I would give each table a set of eight questions and each student would have to pick two cards which they would then either challenge themselves on or use to challenge the others. I think that this is a good resource and I'll be grateful if you could write a positive review if you find it useful. Thank you.

Really good practical idea/resource to use when introducing solving linear equations. I used it after we had already done a little algebra and so this exercise was to link together the practical, the visual, the algebra and explaining in words. Each pair has an A4 laminate of the Scales.gif and a envelope of 10 weights and about 10 gold blocks (Resources.jpeg). You'll need to print these out, laminate and cut out. Then the TaskSheet.docx goes in to the pupil exercise books. The students use the practical resources to come up with balancing scales and then reproduce them in their books. They then choose one to present as a poster on A4 (POSTER.docx) . I gave them all a black and white copy of the poster first and once corrected they could do again "best" on the colour copy. After that we scanned the posters in and then choose examples to set them to the class as the starter for the next day. This is what my written feedback said after being observed by my Head as a part of a learning walk: "Areas of good practice: -High quality resource which was visual and involved pupils in a practical activity -Pupil choice -Pupils making up their own questions -Pupils working collaboratively -Use of Magenta Principle CHANGE where pupils had to alter a set of variables and CONNECT where they used the information given and previous learning." I found this resource in the cupboard but it had no instructions so I came up with this idea to use it.
