An activity to test students’ knowledge on averages (mean, median, mode) and range with some problem solving questions.
Can be done as an interactive lesson where the first to find the answer / first one of a pair wins a point etc.
A lesson on prime factors including a presentation and worksheet.
The presentation is very interactive and includes a factor tree race (I have often asked students to come up to the front whiteboard to do this - they love it!)
The worksheet includes lots of examples in 4 sections so can be easily differentiated.
A great introductory or revision lesson on factors, primes and multiples.
Lots of interactive activities and good explanations.
Includes a grid puzzle and a worksheet / homework sheet.
A great worksheet helping students understand how one fact elicits 3 others. (e.g. if you know 2 x 4 = 8. you also know that 4 x 2 = 8, 8 / 4 = 2, and 8 / 2 = 4).
A presentation for recap of basic addition and subtraction.
Starts off with a whiteboard activity and then some worded questions and an addition grid.
A great lesson starter or revision activity.
Resource for teaching income tax. Works well if (before this lesson) you ask students to research Income Tax as homework an bring their findings. For activity 1 I gave each student a card with a job title and salary on it (easy to recreate or they could make one up themselves, or look it up if in a computer room or they are allowed to use phones). Also includes some interpretation and evaluation and an exam question plenary.
Full lesson on risk. Includes talk-inducing starter, risk diagrams, practice questions, risk matrix and problem solving questions. Great for students who like to work in groups or pairs.
A resource for teaching or revising short division. Written with the Bus Stop Method in mind but could easily be adapted to other methods. Includes a starter, division rules, practice questions (for use with whiteboards) each of which has an extension, and RAG Test Yourself. Great differentiation throughout.
A resource for teaching or revising multiplication of decimals by integers. includes a starter on multiplying numbers by a single digit, some example questions and worded problems.
A resource for teaching or revising multiplication by a single digit (e.g. 24 x 5, 128 x 3) . Was written for short multiplication method but could easily be adapted to other methods. Includes explanation, example questions and worded problems.
A resource for teaching or revising addition and subtraction of decimals. Includes a section to be done on whiteboards, animated explanations for different situations, practice questions and problem solving question to finish.
A really fun and unusual lesson using a piece of sheet music to collect data using a tally chart, interpret from a tally chart, present the data in a bar chart and pie chart and further interpret the data using a real-life question. Very enjoyable and no knowledge or prior understanding of sheet music needed. Also Christmas themed (the song used is Jingle Bells) so great for engaging students at that time of year.
A bundle of resources including reading measurements using scales, using measurements to estimate, units, metric conversions and problem solving. Great for early KS3 or late KS2.
A couple of lessons on related calculations (e.g. if we know 4 x 6 = 24 what is 0.4 x 6?) Presentation is fully animated. Also contains worksheets with practice questions
