Plenary Selector Wheel - Reduced planning

(1)
NEW! See the video preview of the PowerPoint BEFORE choosing to buy. ALL resources are included and TOP quality. This is an investment and great for new teachers or those that want to increase student engagement. This is my first Plenary Wheel resource - 8 generic plenaries to end ANY lesson. If you like this, why not try the sequel with 8 additional plenary activities, so you’ll have 16 to get you through the academic year! Slide 1 includes a spinning wheel that can be stopped by clicking STOP to choose the plenary for the lesson. Includes a selection of eight plenary ideas (and supporting resources) with an engaging interface to grab students’ attention at the end of a lesson. Interactive, students LOVE shouting STOP to select the plenary activity! Suitable for all subject areas… you may never have to plan a plenary activity ever again, although don’t tell your senior leaders I said that!

FUN FRENCH Match up Activity Les Magasins (Shops) - A la ville - In town - KS2/KS3 French MFL

(0)
---This resource is similar to the domino resource, so don't buy if you've already invested in that resource!--- Cut out, match up and stick down exercise OR cut out and laminate for a reusable resource. Comes with supporting PPT with answers. Perfect for KS2 or year 7 french, introducing names of high street shops or for lower ability year 8 groups. Printing in colour will also help highlight the usage of le/la un/une for masculine/feminine words. PowerPoint also includes articles colour coded to further support teaching of masculine/feminine words. Ideal starter to introduce the words, main activity to reinforce translations or plenary to review a lesson. The presentation can also be printed and laminated for display purposes. Printing on A5 could make it form part of a keyword wall or printing 4 to a page would make ideal flashcards! Enjoy. Feedback always gratefully received too.

Organisation Charts / Organisational Structure- An Introduction, getting students to draw the charts

(0)
An introduction to organisation/organization charts. This resource includes a lesson PowerPoint (full lesson), three differentiated activities with increasing difficulty and a lesson review (exit note). Teachers could either give students the sheet to draw all three charts or give students different examples to complete based on ability, which is why there are different versions. Teachers may also wish to get students to create the charts themselves OR could use the templates provided - or lower ability students could be provided with the templates. All companies are fictional, logos designed by me, Enjoy.

Averages - Working out the Median - WHOLE lesson KS2 KS3 Maths

(0)
NEW! See a preview of part of this resource in the video below... This is part of a series of lessons for KS2 or KS3 maths on Averages. This lesson introduces the Median. All four averages lessons are listed separately OR as one short unit of work at a discounted price (£10), just check my other resources! The PowerPoint introduces the median then gives two teacher led activities to guide students through finding the median. After each teacher led part, the students get a chance to try themselves, where they can ask questions or even work in pairs. After discovering what the median is and having a go with help, students are given an independent task to work out the median. Some of the answers involve finding the middle value between two given numbers, so not just putting the values in order! An answer sheet is provided for the teacher too, and all answers pop up on the PowerPoint itself! The lesson is reviewed by students feeding back at the bottom of their handout. All images are either royalty free or made by myself (those coins and football shirts took some work!). Enjoy ;-)

BBC Micro Bit Fun Lesson - Program a Decision Maker - KS2/3 Computing/Computer Science FULL Lesson

(0)
Another FULL Micro:bit lesson. I actually used the spare devices supplied by the BBC to deliver this lesson for Year 6 induction recently. Equally ideal for year 7 or 8 ICT/Computing groups. The PowerPoint, handout and attached code get the students to program a decision maker on their Micro:bit device. So, when shook, the device provides a random answer to the question the student asks - quite fun! Everything needed, including extra challenges to stretch the top end or step by step support for lower ability groups. A review of the lesson objectives at the end is also included. If you don't like paying for resources, I've also uploaded a FREE Rock, Paper, Scissors resource. Enjoy!

Mean Average WHOLE lesson! PowerPoint, Worksheet & Answer Sheet - KS2/3 Maths

(0)
NEW! See a video preview of part of this resource below! Reading the description will help you see if this is suitable for your students' ability. I would say, however, that this resource is ideally suited to upper KS2 / lower KS3. This resource is a FULL lesson which introduces Mean Average. All four averages lessons are listed separately OR as one short unit of work at a discounted price, just check my other resources! The PowerPoint goes through what mean average is/how it's calculated. It then has two examples that can be done with your class (teacher led) - all answers are on the PowerPoint too. After each of the teacher led examples is one that students need to try themselves (these are labelled 'try it' on the PowerPoint). These are at the top of the worksheet. Students could try these, with help if needed - this could even be done is pairs. Finally, there's an independent task that has ten examples for students to calculate. These include numbers in the thousands, so differentiation by task is possible. Some answers include decimals. An answer sheet is provided for the teacher too. The lesson is reviewed by students feeding back at the bottom of their handout. All images are either royalty free or made by myself (those coins took some work!). Enjoy ;-)
