Successful Silence 5 minute Quiet Time Lesson Strategy Positive Behaviour Idea Lesson Study

Simple idea....Make sure the student have everything they need to do the work. Make sure you have prepped them and given them opportunities to discuss it and ask questions. Check everyone understands what to do and how to do it. Then give them the task and insist on five minutes of "Successful silence". During this time they are absolutely not allowed to talk - even the students with TA's. That way they are given the chance to work quietly. This is something the students have said they want - quiet time to work in. This was done as a "Action Research Lesson Study" with the North East Teacher Development Trust Network.

Divisibility & Factors Starter

Each slide asks "What is this number divisible by?" It then uses animation to show the factors of that number. A prompt then asks "How do we know". I'm planning to use this as a starter to learning Divisibility. The pupils will display their answers on their indivudal pupil whiteboards and then answer "How do we know" to the class or to their table mates.

I've often needed to display random numbers on the board so have created some powerpoints to do this. there is one which contains any of the first 100. The other two contain just up to 36 which is useful for learning about factors, etc. I have printed out the first 100 numbers on A4 before and then given each student one of the sheets to decorate and make a poster about that number as a review after studying number properties. To help them do this there are mix of help info sheets. There is also a worksheet of discussing the first 20 numbers and their properties.

Golden nugget is a plenary review activity - great as when you mark the books you immediately have something to feedback on for them to respond to at the start of the next lesson. Alien Sticker is like Golden nugget - however - three versions. You see there is a colour version as I print onto labels in colour first and then I can put the questions on using the B&W printer. you could easily put the Alien images on the three WS. Domino Cards - two versions - for angle sums - pretty simple but ticks the box for Magenta Principles/Mastery. I usually back it up with a written version of the cards or "what have you learnt task" - see above The note fact sheet is to save them copying into their books The lesson plan doesn't quite fit all of these resources but I've thrown it in for free The true false questions are great for Mastery, Magenta Principles and Discussion. You could display on the board and discuss as a class or give out as cards to discuss in pairs or groups. I would usually back this up into their books with - "Choose one to now describe and explain in detail" The LO labels are all the ones I used for this topic. Don't know how useful they are to you but I've thrown them in.

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!
