Start of year give them the booklet. Go through it using the intro presentation. Put a sticker in front of their books Get them to discuss strategies and the "Discussion Cards" give them prompts for how to solve problems - intention is from this THEY come up with how to solve problems (you can then give out the guides afterwards) The keywords are just something I found on the WWW. Sad to happy is a discussion exercise to get students to think about how to get "unstuck" Couple other resources included. Hope it helps!

46 Files Bumper Huge Massive Resource Pack on Angles

41 files - loads of resources to use for learning all the properties and classifications of the different quadrilaterals. I've quickly uploaded these from my jumbled folders! Open each file and you will see what it is. Often the worksheet answers are coloured in white font so are hidden for printing. Unhide the text to get the answer sheet.

Sixty Four files. You'll need to do a little work in choosing what you need but the basic idea is you set up a circus of probability investigations which the students move around and attempt in small groups. Each activity is designed to illustrate a particular concept. It's a lot of fun - I've used it many times but it's all a bit jumbled here. However it wouldn't take long to pick out what you need. Use the file "Each Task" to get what the activities are and then build it up from there. It's a great lesson to use if you want to have the students doing and investigating - particularly good for observations. I've thrown in a load of misc. Probability resources . Enjoy

The key resource here is the "MyDetailedSolvingEquationsHS Update 2016" which is 33 worked examples of solving equations from 2x = 4 up to 3x + 4 = 2(x-3). It's presented as two sheets of A5 and can be stuck into the pupil exercise books as a reference. It's really good and many classes have found it useful. Everything else included in the bundle is similar worksheets which you can have a look at and I'm sure you will be able to adapt or use as they are.

I've searched my hard drive for all Word docs made by me with the term "Keyword" Here theya re. I've opened them all and there's some really useful stuff in there - hopefully most are obvious from their file name but you will also find some gems in there as well. What I've started doing recently is always putting the keywords for that lesson on an A3 poster so that if the children want to use them they can look up to get the spellings right. Hope you find these useful ....I have found them to be.

Just a load of keywords for posters and displays. There's a simple short "Circus" type activity task as well (I have other Circus activities listed). The graded keywords may help you as I've tried to differentiate them. 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 usual;ly in two teams facing the wall. Two students at a time have the opportunity to snatch the right card. Loads of fun!

I find that five questions is enough to assess progress and it doesn't take up too much time. There is FIVE different quizes included.

The PowerPoint has 35 slides with each detailing a children's party game. You'll need to prepare the resources for each one (some don't need any). What it gives you is 35 great tried and tested ideas of what has worked for me so you won't have to do the thinking. I'd like to think the games are obvious but ....Message me if you can't work out what the game is (but only after you've asked a few of your colleagues or looked it up on the Web!) I've found that if you choose a few games to get warmed up. then you can flick through the PPT and see what the children want to do next. Do the opposite and Kims Game are included as they needed a PowerPoint too. Have fun :)!

The rabbits WS asks some questions like if there are 2x rabbits today and x leave the burrow how many are left. etc. The Mini Questions are a simple starter for students to put into algebra some simple expressions. The PPT can be used to show the possible answers for them to choose from if you need it. The starter.docx is a simple starter to get them thinking about different expressions. The PPTx is the answers. Explain These PPTx is a great starter to check understanding of different similar expressions like 4x and x^4. My AlgebraicExpressions is a nice intro resource for expressions. I used this by showing each slide one by one and getting the class to all write what they think the solutions are on their whiteboards. After playing this the worksheet is used to back it up into their exercise books.

Really fun exercise for many age ranges. Originally I used this as one 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). Make up a bag of coloured counters for each pair. I used headphone bags from the music room, but any non see through draw string bag will do. I used "Multilink" coloured cubes. For ease I gave every pair the same number and colour of cubes in their bags - they each had 1 pink, 3 yellow and six blue cubes. You could easily vary the cubes in each bag. Have a whole class discussion before you start about what they think will be in the bags (you show them a couple of trials). Reinforce that they will spoil the "game" if they look in the bag (if anyone does look they need to be dealt with quickly in case they share the solution around the room). Then let them play and as time goes on discuss with all the tables about what they think is in the bag. At some point bring it to an end and then get them to start working out an estimate of the probabilities. Meanwhile collect in everyone's results and display on the Excel spreadsheet on your projection screen. Have a discussion about what's in the bag. They will be able to make quite a good guess about how many cubes are in the bag and should be able to come up with the ratios of each colour. It's quite fun at the early stages when some tables don't pull out a particular colour which everyone else has. There are two versions of the tally table. You can decide whether to let them know what colours are possibly in or not tell them.. it may then be possible for one colour which they have to never appear in their trial. The spreadsheet has got the results from my lesson however like all the files they all can easily be adapted for your own learners. Enjoy

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.
