A quick and simply way to implement Isabella Wallace and Leah Kirman's idea of landing and boarding passes from their book Talk Less Teaching. The activity provide simple feedback to the teachers about prior knowledge, self assessment and where additional support is required.

Various 'Rally Coach' activities designed to aid cooperative learning though pupils coaching each other.

Designed for the Level 5 algebra: linear equations objective. The document graduates in difficulty, (differentiated for level 5a, 5b, 5c) and provides an example per level. The document emphasises the idea of balancing and use of inverse.

Graduating/Differentiated worksheets on expanding brackets designed originally for a year 7 group. S They are scaffolded to use the 'Santa's Hat' method of expanding a bracket.

Solve angle problems. Print on paper, cut up, students place their answer on the back, replace in the pile, another student answers and peer assesses the other answers on the back of the question.

A self contained document originally designed for varying tasks per table completed on a rotation basis. There are information sheets and questions sheets. It has however since been used to create a mini booklet for individual work.

A few resources I created a few years ago. They adapt the standard unit resources.

A selection of problems around interior angles for students to solve. Follows on from the investigation into how side lengths link to angle sums. Leads into exterior angles and other problems. EDIT: The first 4 slides for part of an Always, sometimes, never questioning session that I haven't obviously highlighted. I am fully aware that trapezium's don't have right angles. The task is designed to illicit misconceptions! Apologies for forgetting to signpost!

I couldn't find a good resource on area of a segment so I spent some time developing one. The idea is to provide students with 5 breadcrumbs that then lead to the final outcome, namely solving segment area problems. The powerpoint has 5 steps that provide practice of all the assumed knowledge and this then enables student to guess the objective of the lesson and subsequently solve two A* questions taken from the &'Bland&'; question papers ( A* questions, Paper 2) which couldn't be linked.

Quick revision of previous knowledge on pie charts. Designed around Easter.

Students run a school canteen. 1. They select 2 recipes to produce in their canteen. 2. They survey the class for demand for each dish using a tally chart. 3. They calculate the quantities required for each it recipe item in grams. 4. They round and convert into whole kg units to then cst each item. 5. They calculate profit by calculating total revenue and total cost. This activity worked well just before Easter as a competitive challeneg completed in pairs with a middle attaining year 7 group.

An extension of a NRich problem whereby students investigate a 10 dot circle (printout available from NRICH under printable resources). The problem begins by consolidating isosceles triangles within a 10 dot circle. The problem then moves into exploring a series of circle theorems using the triangles they found from the first 2 problems. Once students have done this they have the basis from which to generalise circle theorems.

A selection of starters/do nows to aid National Careers Week and the application of mathematics to a wide variety of jobs.

An opportunity to recap and revise simultaneous equations with a versatile resource. Idea 1 - Roll the dice to select the question and then race in pairs or small groups to gain the answer. Counters can be used to award point for the team with the first correct answer. Idea 2 - Connect 4. In pairs answer the question of your choice with the aim of forming 4 in a row. Idea 3 - In pairs take it in turns to roll a pair of dice and complete the question. A correct answer and you control the square, otherwise you partner has a turn to steal. Winner has the most squares.

Name the graph, higher tier.

3 minute assessment groups of 3. Specific role cards.

A couple of activities to support lessons involving histograms. One a learner bingo and the other a True or False activity.

Starter activity for students to broaden horizons and introduce role models. Supplied in two forms.

Develop questioning, literacy etc by students tallying events in the classroom.
