Getting the students to discuss possible errors and decide on the difficulty of questions is good for improving understanding and good for you to assess misconceptions and progress. There are eight incorrect expansions of algebraic brackets - the students have to identify the errors

There two versions of this. One shows the graphs and then on next click shows the equation. The other shows the equations and then on next click shows the graph. Get the the students to show the answers on their whiteboards before you display the answer.

This is a top idea which I've used many times and I think it really does provide some great discussion. The probability of it snowing tomorrow is not 1/2 as it doesn't snow very often. However students often think that as the choice is either "snow" or "not snow" so the chance of it snowing must be a half. The activities here are designed to address this misconception. Originally I used this as a short 10 minute activity as part of a whole lesson of many circus activities (many other of my circus activities are listed on TES resources) however you can easily build a whole lesson around it. The activity has nine discussion questions to decide if they are true or false. The PowerPoint is simply those questions so that you can display them to discuss them as a class. The WS is good for a homework or as a classwork exercise to get something in the book. Alternatively you could simply ask them to choose one of the questions to write into their books and then describe in detail the answer. The Mr Wrong questions are useful as starters next lesson or plenaries today. You could easily amend the questions within in them to suit the point you are trying to make with your learners. The label is obvious. The A5 asks the student to choose which Mr Wrong is wrong (the other is right) and the A4 has two versions. The A4 can be used in many ways. E.g. You can ask them to write four statements (where one is true and the rest is false) and then they pass to another student to work it out. Alternatively you could write on the statements and they could identify the right and wrong ones. You can change the statements. For example on the A5 you could make both statements false (catches them out Ha Ha!) Enjoy. Please do leave feedback if you found it useful. Thank you.

Ten questions where an equation is given and four possible solution choices. Students have to choose which is the right solution and obviously justify it to you. The mouse is on a balancing log as a reminder that equations must balance!

All the keywords with explanations presented as a very useful overview of topic fact sheet. As an intro to linear algebraic graphs I have put together all the keywords you need into a word search. After giving your students this ask them to write definitions of all the terms in the word search. Alternatively give them the fact sheet. They can paste into their books and after highlighting can use it as a reference page whilst studying the topic.

If you want to run a school playing card club then it helps if you have the rules for different games ready for the children. I've copied these off the web but they are presented in a easy A4 format. Also I've adapted the rules to be understandable by children. Hence it's actually been quite a lot of work. Enjoy

Print this out onto A4 cards. Give two cards to each table (choose size of number according to ability). Ask them to come up with reasons how we know that they are all divisible by three. Hopefully they will get that it is the sum of digits which are multiples of three. Show the PowerPoint to recap. Back up with other exercises to reinforce this. Then evaluate/consolidate their knowledge by showing them new numbers and asking whether they are divisible by three or not.

Tony cycled 3 kilometres to town. He walked 200 metres along the street to a burger bar. He ordered a 250 gram burger and a 330 millilitres can of cola. The burger was excellent, it was 2.5 centimetres thick. You read the students a story like above and then they write their own. It's very creative and makes great displays. Insist that use the specified measures. There's loads of different versions of theis worksheet from all the different times I've used it. Pcik the one which suits your learners best.

You can you this in many ways: Grade the work you are giving by difficulty. Indicate on each question what grade they are from green to black. Either tell the students to do all the greens first and then move on, or allow them to choose what colour to start on. Or go around the classroom indicating to each student what they have to start on. Get students to write their own questions to set to other members of the class. Ask them to grade it from Green to black. This is good for assessing what they are comfortable at and what they think they are capable of. The PPTX can be printed out onto A3 as a poster for the wall. I sometimes need a harder than black and calling it double black seems to fit. When time allows I print the questions (with their colour grade) on a sheet of A4 sticker labels. I then give each table a sheet which will have all the questions on. If your table has four students on it there will be a discussion if there are only three green questions as someone will have to do a blue. This idea came from someone else who routinely ski route grades all their work and allows the learners to start at the level most appropriate to them. I had previously seen it presented as here are four questions on the board, now choose the question you want to do first. Recently I have seen people (and now used it myself) where several questions are given and the students have to grade them and explain why they think one is easier than the others. This ties in with my Maths Mastery Kung Fu Panda (see other premium resource) Enjoy

"Sheets" is a starter worksheet for tables to work on collaboratively The "New Stickers" are five different ability questions which can be stuck into student books as their starter or given out at the end as their plenary. These are really good for exemplifying Mastery The NewA4 is a simple WS used for some students

"The three ways to estimate probability are" worksheet first describes the three ways to estimate probability an d then asks 20 questions where the students have to identify the best way to estimate the probability. Two versions of the WS available - one is better if you don't like the students copying out and prefer them to stick in sheets.

All you would need for a probability lesson on coins. Some of these activities have been done as part of a circus of many activities where the students move around every 10 minutes or so however you can certainly build a lesson around these activities. Many more Circus Probability activities are listed on my TES Resource pages. If you like and find useful the please leave a positive review. Thank you.
