Accuracy & Bounds Magenta Mastery Activity Game CardSort & Bingo & Worksheet with ANSWERS

(0)
A card sort activity to reinforce, recap, discover or revise finding bounds on rounded numbers. GCSE or KS3 from Y7 to Y11. Use the included images and display on the whiteboard when showing the student. Alternatively embed the templates into your interactive white board software and use them to create examples to display - PDF and SMART Notebook versions are included. First decide on how many groups of students you have. Print the cards out and cut them up. Print the placemats out (& possibly laminate). Then each group are given all 10 placemats and a set of cards. They then place them in the correct places on the cards (covering the yellow spaces). Use the answers to check them. I’ve printed the answers onto A5 card and held them together with treasury tags. Alternatively, print the placemats out on to A6 (1/4 of A4) and you now have ten bingo cards. However, this was only a secondary idea and some placemats have more blanks than others (Differentiate?!). Use the PowerPoint to display the answers. There are three sets of the answers (all randomised) so you can play it at least 3 times. I used an Excel spreadsheet to generate the questions and answers. It is included so you can create your own. There is also a matching worksheet which can be printed on to A5. Answers are included. & I’ve just added three extra matching WS (with answers). Print onto A5. WS3 is easiest- WS1 is hardest.

Magenta Mastery MASSIVE Volume Cuboids Fun Trading Game Activity Bundle with Worksheets & ANSWERS

(0)
Simple volume of cubes, cuboids and square prisms 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 16 matching sets of 8 cards - a massive piece of work! The six cards have a length, width, height, volume, picture and name It was originally designed to have lots of similar lengths 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 cards on 3x7 A4 labels. Stick them onto plain playing cards (from your educational supplier). Then spend 5 minutes making stacks of the six cards (obviously not matches). You then distribute a stack to each pair. Learners then need to collect matching sets. Once they have a matching stack you issue two tokens 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 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). I’ve included a matching set of worksheets - 24 versions which have varying levels of difficulty & then a set of matching settler/starter WS’s
Solving Scale Balance Equations Magenta Principles Practical Collaborative Exercise

Solving Scale Balance Equations Magenta Principles Practical Collaborative Exercise

(0)
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.

Really simple ratio introduction activity

to encourage the use of the correct language and the basic understanding of the basic concepts I made this activity which has worked well with several classes. There is plenty of opportunity for discussion and sharing of what students know. The Notebook was used to create the images which can be printed out onto individual sheets. Then use the LO Label to "Choose one of the diagrams of red and green balls. Then glue it underneath this sticker and then write as much as you can about that diagram using the language on the prompt cards." Afterwards use the WS with the class. Use the BallsQuestion.PPTx to go through the answers. Get several students to each write their answers on the powerpoint (on the IWB)

26 different activities 41 files in total to help your learners can master what a triangle is. WhatIsATriangle2x7Label; WriteMrWrongTrianglesLabel2x7; WriteKillerQuestionLabel2x7 = Get students to write their own questions to help ID, address misconceptions and to assess their understanding WhatMakesATriangle2x7Label = Leads to discussion on the Triangle Inequality Law; 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. UnhideTrianglesIDExercise = use the SMART Board IWB to unhide the triangle images slowly. Students tell you the triangle type asap. You challenge them on explain why. TriangleNamesPoster, TriangleNamesList, TriangleTypePropertyMatrixTable = help sheets, posters TrianglesSortingTableWS = Very challenging WS. Do as a collaborative table exercise or for individuals as homework. This is not my resource but I've adapted it and given you the answers. TrianglesSimpleFactsheet = I've adapted this from some one else to add a bit more to it. I always give it out to the students and then discuss the properties and the markings or hatch marks which can go on each type. Triangles1SenteoType ID = Five Question Senteo SMART Response Assessment Quiz TriangleNamesCardsLabel2x7 = Print on to cards and then cut out. Give every table a pack and get them to sort/classify them. Give each student a card and then play Who Am I? The numbers indicate my subjective judgement on how hard they are to classify. Use FourWhoAmIQuestions to help with this. TriangleFight = A Magenta Principles activity which is great as a lesson ender - particularly when waiting for the bell. The stickers back it up in the student exercise books. MyTriangleNotationLessonForPythagorasSenteo = Resource to help prepare for Pythagoras teaching MyDrawOnIsometricWS = This is good as a starter for recapping before starting a topic. 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. 7x3LabelTriangle names = is just a set of three differentiated versions where the students identify and classify mixed triangles which you'll need to print out. Following are hopefully obvious from names: MyIdentifyTrianglePPT23Q's MyFiveTrianglesDiagramsWithMarkingsForTypeID MyFlowDiagramTask ManyTrianglesSMARTForID FiveTriangleTypes-One per Page FiveTriangleTypesOnA4 31TrianglePropertiesQuestionsCards
Fruit Bowl Problem Calculating Probability Tree Diagram Without Replacement Circus Activity

Fruit Bowl Problem Calculating Probability Tree Diagram Without Replacement Circus Activity

(0)
Fun exercise for many age ranges. Will provide a good amount of discussion and is a nice next step after calculating probabilities to then progressing on to dependent events. Originally I used this as one short activity in a "Circus" of many activities which students go around the room playing on. (More of my Circus Activities are uploaded on my resources elsewhere) Print out the resources enough for each group (I split the class into pairs) but put the Tree Diagram on A3 for tables of 4 to complete. Each group needs a picture of a bowl on A4 and a selection of fruit (I printed out 9 pieces of fruit per A4 using "Windows Photo Printing"). Ideally laminate these for durability. Try to get the fruit on equal size cards so that they can be turned face down and chosen at random. First give them all the task sheet - you could always laminate these so that they use dry wipe markers so that they could play it twice. The task is pick a piece of fruit at random and then record it in the table and then calculate the probability of getting what's left. This is usually enough of an activity to do in a "Circus" however its a good intro for tree diagrams hence the work on tree diagrams as well. Note that the SMART Notebook has the fruit images already added in the attachments as a gallery file. The SMART Notebook file has a variety of different size tree diagrams - you could choose which students to give the smaller (easier to complete) to. I've included a few tree diagram templates for your use.
