Ready-to-go, standalone enrichment activities.
These are NOT simply colouring-in or wordsearch activities!
Rather they are an attempt to productively use any spare curriculum time, perhaps when a colleague’s lesson needs cover and it is not practical to organise suitable work.
Can use as whole class activity or extension materials for individual students.
Single-page copy makes ideal for use as an emergency cover lesson.
Suitable for all year 7 to year 11 classes.
Answers included.
Please leave a review or constructive criticism below.
I have plans to make more of these if anyone finds useful.
