If you too want to make sure that your class have an opportunity to discuss and reflect on today outcome then my 12 questions on a worksheet may get you started. It's done as a worksheet but you could easily put the questions into a PowerPoint and ask them as a group. Alternatively print the questions on to separate sheets and give each group a different question to answer. I'll use it to get the students doing some research on today's result. There is a question about my local area "Northumberland" which you can change to your local authority. *******If you like this and find it useful then please leave me some positive feedback and do check out my TES Resources shop which includes many premium resources which may help save you time and give you ideas.

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.

There's 23 questions here to ask your students as they are getting ready to end their year. They are all positively phrased and the intention is to print out the sheet of cards, cut them out and then distribute them around the students. Ask them to discuss the answers. with their table mates. There's no writing involved. The Questions.docx is there just so that you can see the questions easily and if you want you can edit them. The PowerPoint is there to make it easy for you to display the questions if you choose to then discuss the questions as a class. Enjoy. Hope it helps at the time of the year!

This idea came from "andorian" who has a worksheet to prompt discussion. I then recorded the students ideas on this PowerPoint. Afterwards they made a "This is now a phone free school" poster. It's not that good a resource and its certainly not worth putting a price on it but it may help you and make things a bit easier for your lesson. Hope it helps

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.

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.

You are on a sinking ship and you have to choose three people from the list of 10 people to save. You initially are told their key descriptor e.g. "Ex Heroin Addict" so many students will choose not to take this person. Later you find out that he/she is a survival expert as well so choices will change. I've used this with several Y8 classes and several Y7 classes. You need to think carefully about the titles of the people to make them appropriate to your classes. You can easily change the resources. Get the students in small groups all huddled around one sheet of A3 which you've printed the table onto. After you give them another fact about a person get them to write down on the table sheet who they want to save. Last time I did this I kept a record myself on an Excel Spreadsheet which meant we could keep the class trends on the IWB. I've enjoyed using this so much as the classes really get into it - even last lesson on a Friday. I've been thinking that I could use it again (after ammending the roles) with a group (even if they've already had it) if Mr Ofsted arrived on a day when PHSE was timetabled! There's also a dilemmas Senteo SMART Response thrown in which is good for discussions.
