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.

Here are 14 questions which you can give to each table or pair as a sheet of stickers and the students can choose the questions they want to answer. These are great as afterwards you can mark their books and either give them a further challenge based on what they wrote or slap in another sticker for them to do as their next lesson starter challenge.
The questions are designed for them to show that they have mastered the concepts of scatter graphs and lines of best fit.
These fit in with the lesson I have uploaded for free on to TES resources (Resource 11313391).

I bought eight gold bowler hats. When the students finish their work if it is right they can earn a gold hat and then spend the remaining time going around the class helping others. Some really love it and really rush to ear a hat. It doesn't work all the time and you have to watch out for rushing and so sloppy work however if you clearly state the success criteria and then only pass the best then it works.
I saw the phrase on another teachers wall and liked the idea and came up with these. To save time making the resource I put the logo on a different doc so you have to put the PICTURES through the printer twice to get the WORDs on.
Download the music when you introduce it. Sample just the key phrase which Vanilla Ice sings and loop it.
The class got really into it.. so much so that when I said "STOP!" they all said "Collaborate and Listen"
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.
