Measures Imperial Metric Conversion Appropriate Measures Domino Card Activities and some matching worksheets. The main activity here is the "Follow Me" Domino cards where the question on each card is followed by the answer on the next card. The questions are for students to choose the most appropriate measure for a particular everyday item. Couple of differentiated versions to use. The task is quite hard if given to out with all the cards on the same colour so you may wish to print each page of the cards on a different colour - this makes it easier to match cards up. The picture version makes it easier for some students. You can play it as give a set of cards to a table of four for them to arrange or give out one set of cards between the whole class and then play it as a "Follow Me Card" game. Alternatively stick them around the room and then the students play as a treasure hunt which becomes a bit more energetic. Files 11,12 & 13 are just some different but related measures conversion domino card exercises.

The picture splat idea is where you print out the sheets onto A3 (& laminate) and put one on each table of four (or two) students. You then ask questions and the students slap down on the correct answer from the choice in front of them. E.g. "Which item on the Appropriate units splat card would be measured in kilometres?" Answer - the bridge. The PowerPoint gives you a lot of the questions and a framework for how to use the splat cards.

The worksheets are as described for the compass rose. Simply some questions on completing bearing directions on a full compass rose diagram. The middle two are for measuring bearings using a protractor. answers included. The Quickdraw Cards and Activity is the idea that someone in the classroom gives a bearing and the opponent gives the 180 degree reverse bearing back... One student stands up and says a bearing of another student relative to them (approximate). The other student then replies with the return bearing and if it is correct then points are awarded. You can play it by telling two students to stand and then they both have to try and say the bearing of the other student first. The cards (simply a list of bearings between 0 and 360 degrees) and PowerPoint (some practice questions to show them the idea) help with this.

Best Most Efficient Quick Routes Solve problems on angles on triangles Maths Mastery Resource Bundle You could easily adapt this to be the basis of a "special" lesson for a observation or interview - good luck :) The overall LO was to "Master finding missing angles on triangle problems" so I made up these resources. There is a Group exercise - usually done on sheets of A3 with the four students crowded around the table all working collaboratively to solve the problem and then an individual exercise for them each to do. You will notice there are differentiated versions. (Only differentiated by amount of work but at helps) The SMART Notebooks used to generate the images are included so that you can edit them to suit your learners. I use stickers to put the LO label in the book each lesson. I use my 50" telly next to my SMART Board to display the learning objective using PowerPoint. Don't worry I do use my Telly for more than that as well but it's very convenient for displaying the LO which ticks a box in observations. There is also some posters and help sheets to guide students. You will notice that I use a lot of stickers - it saves a lot of time in the classroom - which I've heard mentioned in observations is a good thing. This represents a huge amount of work by me - hence the slightly higher price! :)

Really useful set of FIVE worksheets with accompanying SMART Notebook files (and PDF copies if you don’t have Notebook) and scans of ANSWERS to save you time using the Visual Singapore Bar Method for sharing by a ratio. Also included are two Helpsheets which can be printed out and stuck into the student exercise books to a) save them copying and b) to give them worked examples to look back at. The SMART Notebooks (or PDF’s) can be displayed on your Interactive Whiteboard to allow the teacher (or a student!) to work through examples in front of the class. The five worksheets are roughly progressive from easier numbers to harder. An example of a question is share £12 in the ratio 1:3. The worksheet gives a scaffolded frame for the student to use to work through the steps to share £12 into £3: £9 using a bar method. Sheet 5 is quite good as a final assessment of whether they have got it. You could use the five sheets over several lessons or use them all in one lesson but issue the harder sheets to your better students. When you print the worksheets out for the students then you can print 2 pages per A4 to save costs. If it is a 1 page worksheet then print pages “1,1” on one sheet of A4. The eventual aim is that the students can use this method without scaffolding. There are plenty of exercises available elsewhere once they’ve got this method. See BONUS “Helpsheet Fred” for example of this. The answers are simply scans of my scribbled solutions - however they do the job!

Indicates to your learners which of the five levels of noise are approriate within the classroom for each activity. Print out and laminate or display on your projection screen. What you are getting is the idea of the volume meter (which isn't mine - thanks to MrPhillips for that), the content of the text, i.e. the five descriptions of the activity and my idea to use the dB meter (which I drew myself). MS PowerPoint and PDF copy included. Please note that included PPT & PDF do not have the pictures for groups on (i.e. the 3D men) as seen on the thumbnail cover image. I didn't have the rights for those pictures, but you can easily find some to add in yourself. Search for "3D men Group", etc. If you like this then do check out my many other (mainly Maths) activities listed on my TES Resources shop and pages including many Premium resources which will save you lots of time and give you some useful ideas.

In summary " A simple card match activity - graph to name" Designed for a year 8 lower ability set who needed considerable reinforcement and repetition, but would suit any class doing linear graphs because you can use it as a starter for those who already know, or as a self discovery for those learning or as a review or as a revision after they’ve already learnt it. There are 20 different linear graphs on A4 and 20 matching equations of the graphs on A5. Print these out on card. Print out the worksheet for your class. Students move around the room completing their worksheet. Use the teacher answer sheet to help you. The student worksheet is in Microsoft Word. You can differentiate this by editing it so that more of the answers are already filled in by changing the text font colour to black (from white).

An exercise for small groups (pairs or 4’s) to play designed to refresh, discover, reinforce, remind students of the indices rules. You’ll need to print enough resources for the number of groups you have in your class. There are only a few rules to learn but these cards have 20 rules in total as they have variants and extensions of the basic rules. There are 4 “baseplates”. Print the “baseplates” out on to A4 card. For ease I suggest 4 different colours of card. Print the answer card out on A4 card (2 sheets per page) or prepare to display on your projection screen. (I suggest printing several copies of the answers and so each table can self check as and when they finish. Print the “CardsRight” out onto A4 sticky labels (3 x 7 = 21 per sheet). Stick these labels onto blank playing cards (purchased from your chosen education supplier - I got mine from YPO). Alternatively print on to A4 card and cut out using a guillotine. Give each group a full set of 20 playing cards and a copy of each base plate. They then match the playing cards to the base plates. Alternatively, give each group one baseplate card at a time. However it doesn’t take them too long. This can be made significantly harder by printing the “CardsRight - Harder” as these don’t have which base plate they go on to. Afterwards there are a variety of graded worksheets to reinforce the above.

Simple matching terms, definitions and diagrams Circle Properties activity. Young people love trading games…Share out to everyone the cards…they then roam the room trading one for one until they make up matching sets. Once they get a matching set they check with the adult who gives them a token if right. This set has 22 matching sets of 3 cards - a massive piece of work! You need to plan carefully how you are going to use it, what the ability is of your users and how collaborative they can be. Then print out onto A4 white card & chop up. Share out most of the cards to your learners. Learners then need to collect matching sets. Once they have a matching stack you issue tokens and give them another few cards so that they can continue playing until you call time. You can give some element of control to this by first insisting that they first only trade with their table partners. This helps to identify who is going to struggle (and/or go off task). You can then manage them trading with another particular table and eventually it becomes a free for all and they all get up. The tokens really do help to give the element of competition. Watch out for students who give all their cards away and then opt out. Or small groups of students who go to one corner and share with each other and then don’t move around the room (although the tokens usually motivate most). Also included Circle or Not Activity Poster templates for students. Mr Wrong Mastery exercise - print onto A4 2x7 labels two match up definitions to key words work sheets Circle Area Circumference Glossary Knowledge Test MCQ Senteo SMART Response THREE Quizes . (Two versions of one quiz included)

20 3D shapes have been drawn. For each shape there are six matching cards: Plan View, Side Elevation, Front Elevation, Net, Number of Faces, Edges & Vertices. Students roam the room in pairs trying to collect a matching set of cards. Alternatively print out on smaller cards and give each table group a set to sort out. Please see my other similar resources if you like this.

This is about 12 hours of my work. I hope that you can see how it would be used in one or several of your lessons. The main is 18 Higher Maths GCSE standard exemplar questions on solving simultaneous linear and quadratic equations. I've done the work for you by researching questions from past papers. I've then written solutions and ranked them according to difficulty. I've provided a flow chart for the students to attempt. I've indicated which questions they should all do and which questions are available for additional practice and familiarity if time allows. This illustrates "Maths Mastery" as only the questions needed are presented and it is clear what the progression is or what the "milestones" are in this topic. I think that it's a comprehensive list of the types of question needed at GCSE. The other mastery (Plenary?) questions are of all the concepts involved. I would present as either questions on the board or as questions on individual cards for them to discuss. The starter would probably be the linear equations domino cards. They would remind students of how to check that solutions fit and what different methods there are for solving. The starter I wanted to create but never got around to is presenting a series of curves and lines on cards and getting the students to match up and look for the simultaneous solutions. The top tips are an idea given by an experienced HOD who told me to make sure that the students know exactly what is needed for the examination. The Glossary took some time to research and write. I kept adding to it throughout my preparation so I think it's pretty comprehensive. I used a MEP CIMT resource as a basis of my preparation. Many thanks for them - the URL is given. I never got around to making the matching PowerPoint presentation but I have given the URL of an example from TES resources which I would use as a basis for planning mine. The graph drawings on the SMART Notebook I think could provide quite a lot of inspiration for some good starters or even further study - hence I've provided the SMART so that you can edit them. The main assessment would be the GCSE Sample question. I recognise that I didn't create the question however I have provided the written exemplar solution for you. I prepared this ready for a GCSE Y10 Interview lesson which I withdrew from a couple of days before the interview. Hence the bulk of the work has been done but it's not complete and needs a little bit more input. The lesson plan suits my style of teaching but it isn't finished. Any questions about this then please make contact.

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.

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!

Massive Bundle of Senteo quizes. Most 5 questions each - some more This will save you a huge amount of time.

Young people love trading games…Share out to everyone the cards…they then roam the room trading one for one until they make up matching sets. Once they get a matching set they check with the adult who gives them a token if right. This set has 72 matching sets of 9 cards - a massive piece of work! First a picture (not to scale) of a rectangle with it’s length and width labeled. Card 1 - A length Card 2 - A width Card 3 - The area Card 4 - the length plus the width (i.e. 1/2 the perimeter Card 5 - The perimeter Card 6 - A comparison of the length and the width Card 7 - Whether the shape is a rectangle or a square Card 8 - A comparison of the values of the perimeter and area. It was originally designed to have lots of similar areas and perimeters so that there are many matching sets of cards without learners having to find a unique matching set. You need to plan carefully how you are going to use it, what the ability is of your users and how collaborative they can be. Then print out accordingly. Below are a few suggestions. Print out the nine separate cards on different colour cards. Cut them out. Then spend 15 minutes making stacks of the nine cards (obviously not matches). You then distribute a stack to each learner. Learners then need to collect matching sets which have one of each colour. Once they have a matching stack you issue a token and given them another stack so that they can continue playing until you call time. You can give some element of control to this by first insisting that they first only trade with their table partner, then only on their tables. This helps to identify who is going to struggle (and/or go off task). You can then manage them trading with another particular table and eventually it becomes a free for all and they all get up. You can make the task easier by printing out on different colour cards so that the every eight cards (one page) of each card set is printed out on a different colour card. This means that learners can look for cards which are the same colour as theirs. You can reduce the number of cards - either by only printing out a limited number so that learners have to pair up to make a complete set. You can make the game significantly harder by removing the picture cards and slightly harder by removing the 1/2 perimeter cards You can make the game easier by removing all but the picture, area and perimeter cards. When I say easier, this can mean take less time to play. It’s worth trying with a few different classes to see how they respond (and behave). Watch out for students who give all their cards away and then opt out. Or small groups of students who go to one corner and share with each other and then don’t move around the room (although the tokens usually motivate most). I’ve included a matching worksheet but there are plenty of these allready on the TES which others have made.

Young people love trading games. Designed for Y9H GCSE, however suitable for many. There are 34 Construction/Loci scenarios cards. Each scenario has a matching description and another describing in terms of the Maths - i.e. “Perpendicular bisector.” All cards are unique so there is only one correct match which can be checked against the answer key. It is designed to be a comprehensive reflection of what could be in GCSE. There are several formats of the printout included. Print out the cards on A5 yellow card. Then make stacks of the 3 cards (obviously not matches). You then distribute a stack to each Learner who then need to collect matching sets. Once they have a set you issue a token and give them another stack so they can continue playing until you call time. (Alternatively, pair everyone up and give each pair one set - makes the game last longer). They must trade one for one until they make up matching sets and they must always keep the picture card they were given. You need to plan carefully how you are going to use it, depending on ability how collaborative they can be. There five difficulty grades (Green, Blue, Red, Black & Diamond Black). This is a subjective judgement but useful for a mixed ability class. Give out the green picture cards to your weakest, and so on. You can first insist that they first only trade with their table partners. This helps to identify who is going to struggle (and/or go off task). You can fix it that their 2nd card is with someone on their table. They then trade with another particular table and eventually it becomes a free for all and they all get up. The tokens really do help to give the element of competition. Watch out for students who give all their cards away and then opt out. Or small groups of students who go to one corner and share with each other and then don’t move around the room. You can vary the difficulty of the activity when you print out the cards. The ability cards can be printed out on 10 different colours. You will know that matches have to be made up of particular colours which makes it easier to assess and sort out for next time. You can print out all the cards onto smaller cards and then give each table a whole class set. This could be done for learners who don’t cope well with moving around. You can use with lower ability by only printing out easier cards. There are questions which can either be displayed on the board or printed on back of cards to aid discussion. If you spot any mistakes, errors or inaccuracies - please do let me know. If you like this resource please do rate it and see my other TES resources. Here are some quotes from the first class I used it with: "It’s more fun than working” “A great way of learning new skills and gets everybody engaged” “Good as we met others we don’t usually talk to” “Good active and enjoyable”. I took on their feedback and added more to the picture cards to make it easier.
