I love resources that ensure all pupils are able to access & feel confident within lessons. It makes me sad when a pupil feels stressed because they don't get it. I love hearing a pupil say "I am on it miss".
All resources for main part of lessons are differentiated to 3 if not 4 levels of progress.
Starters are mixed ability so that I can get pupils to feel confident in areas they struggle on.
Any queries please email me; shacostello@gmail.com

Learners work the questions out from the middle column. Learners complete working out in their book. The tick the answer they have right and trash the answer they have wrong. Learners then state who is better at solving equations. Learners do enjoy this and especially when its famous people they like.
Learners work on the questions from the middle column in their book. Once they have the answer they tick the correct answer and trash the wrong answer. Then learners state who is better at simultaneous equations. Sometimes I add in two of the wrong answers in the same question to test learners are completing them correctly while also checking their understanding.
