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.
Enlargments and Rotation of Shapes Glossary Knowledge Test MCQ Senteo SMART Response TWO Quizzes
One quiz is 15 questions long so is presented also in three 5 Q quizzes as well
Simple PowerPoint (with 50 slides) asking whether numbers are divisible by three or not. Each time annimation then says "Yes" or "No".
Use it after teaching it as a plenary or as a discussion as a starter.
Pupils can write their answers (and then show the correction) on individual pupil whiteboards - either on own, in pairs or in tables of four.
Pupils can use red, green, yellow (for don't know) cards to show their answer. For extra fun you can have them point "Usain Bolt Style" to the left or right of the room for their answer. For complete chaos you can have them run to the left of the right of the classroom for yes or no.
The important thing is to get pupils to explain their answers to help everyone's understanding.
You can quite easily and quickly add many more questions by simply duplicating a yes or no slide and adding in your changes.
I would usually back this exercise up with a worksheet or textbook exercise which they can do independently afterwards.
You can extend this by getting the pupils to make up their own slides (on their whiteboards) to test other pupils.
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.

There are eight really good questions written by my students from their homework. I've chosen the best eight and graded them using "SkiRoute" Difficulty (See my other resources).
The questions are laid out for 2x4 labels. Give a sheet of 8 questions to each table and they can choose which of the eight they wish to answer (self differentiation).
Alternatively use the PowerPoint and display them - several versions on your preferred preference for displaying the answers.
The Original Homework task sheet is also included.
Enjoy.

Here are 11 questions on a SMART Notebook (also presented as a PDF if you don't have SMART)
At the end of the topic one of my classes wrote questions to show what they understood about Scatter graphs. The SMART Notebook is the result of this.
Also included is a worksheet to match the questions and a set of answers.
My suggestions are: Give the worksheet out. Allow them some time to answer. Then give them the Senteo Handsets and get them to close their books. Answer the quiz with the handsets as individuals. Then reset the quiz and allow them to complete it again - either in table groups of four or with their books to help them.
Finally get them to write explanations to each question in their book to prove/reinforce their understanding.

Divide your wall space into different sections and label each section with the "Poster Headings".
In particular add the "Finished what next?" labels onto the "Finished board" as a suggestion for what students can do when they have finished their set work
