I used this for an observation. This is a grade B/C topic but I wanted to make it more appropriate to a top set year 10 class. This is a differentiated activity. I've included a blank board, one with the answers and one with QR code links to answers. I just got the pupils to check their own answers using ipods but I considered using it as a naughts and crosses or a relay activity too.

This is a complete lesson plan that I used for an observation lesson. Pupils identify what they already know and then complete similar questions at the end (in purple pen) to (hopefully) demonstrate progress. The activity is differentiated by task. The blockbuster activity is just to give the pupils at the end. Girls versus boys or similar. Dictate some questions and the quickest to show correct answer on mini whiteboards gets to choose a hexagon.

This is an observation lesson that I've put together. It combines resources made by others on here. In some cases, I&'ve made minor adjustments. Thanks to eclscost for the thoughts and crosses (I&';ve made an extension based on this too), dwatson802 for the visual demonstrations on PowerPoint and rachelthomas89 for the card sort. I've made the cross sectional areas support sheet to be printed on acetate and this will overlay onto the Core Connect Four game to provide support to weaker pupils by giving them the cross sectional area. Plenty of progress checks too.

I usually place two boxes at the front of the classroom with some kind of small reward inside them. These are labelled bronze and silver and are padlocked with the code set to the respective answers. I give the pupils the sheet and they have to 'crack the safe&'. Answers are included.

I made this for a low ability year 11 group. I used it as a carousel activity and wrote the answer to the previous question on the back of the following question so they could check them as they went. Each card is made up of two questions; the first is finding a volume and the second is finding a length, As an extension, I gave them the extension task which is much more functional and typical of an exam question.

I made this differentiated resource for my year 9 group. All answers are included but you will need to click 'enable content' for these to work.

(Level 6 / Grade D) There are two treasure hunts; green and orange. The green treasure hunt contains questions only on cubes whilst the orange one concentrates on cuboids with a few questions on cubes. Pupils will need access to smartphones or tablets with a QR scanner app installed. Solutions are included at the end of the PDF. The starred questions on the answer sheet involve the pupils working backwards from a given volume. It might be worth grouping these together in the classroom so as to aid pupils with the more difficult questions.

I've made this code breaker activity to use with a low ability year 8 group. Students must answer the questions and take note of the corresponding letters before unscrambling them to make the name of an animal.

I’ve made this for my KS3 maths coordinator role. I send out the blank template to teachers who fill in a question by question grid. It can automatically print out personalised colour coded (for each question) grids for each pupil as well as a comparison to their target. For the teacher, it can provide data on how PP, SEN, EAL and G&T students are getting on in comparison to those in the class who are not in each group. Teachers then send the information back to me and I copy the data into a master spreadsheet (year group summary). This provides me an in depth analysis for each class and allows me to compare the data and intervene wherever necessary. This is especially useful in terms of each group (PP, SEN, EAL and G&T). When opening the file, you will need to ‘enable content’ for the spreadsheets to work. If you have any suggestions for improvements, please let me know.

A differentiated Excel question generator that gives you the option to include negative solutions and/or concentrate on adding/subtracting equations. You will need to ensure that the macros are enabled when you open the file. There are no exam style questions here. I’ve just made this to email home for some practise. I’ve used this in a lesson too.

I place a 'bronze&', &';silver' and &'gold&'; box at the front of the room. Each of the boxes is padlocked and a small reward placed inside. The padlock combinations are set to the respective answers of each activity.

I made this resource for year 9, set 2. We had to cover the topic but didn't think that they were quite ready for any angle at the centre of the sector. I kept it simple. I printed them off on different coloured bits of paper (depending on difficulty level) and placed them around the room. I also stuck a couple of the answer sheets printed off around so they could check as they went. If they got 3 or 4 correct in a row, they could move onto the next difficulty level.

I made this resource for my top set year 11s as a revision lesson. I printed off the spread sheet with the answers (one for each table) so that they could check them as they went and move onto more difficult questions when they were ready.

This can be used as a whole class activity or individually by putting the files on a shared area. There are two versions of this file; one which includes decimal answers and one that avoids them. Make sure that you enable the macros for these to work.

I made this as an extension task for a top set year 8. All answers are included.

I've made these to send home to parents and also to use in class (either independently or as a whole class). Nothing special, just generates questions and answers to go with them. You'll need to enable the macros for this to work.

I made these as an independent revision resource that could be sent home to parents as a form of intervention. I have also used these in class as a class activity or to be put on the student area where they can access the file. One of them involves some decimal percentages for the latter questions on compound interest.

This is a fully differentiated observation lesson that I used for top set year 11s. The progress checks at the start and end of the lessons are completed by the students and then I use Plickers for AfL. All answers are included via the QR codes and full solutions are provided for the extension questions in the PDF file.

This is a differentiated quiz quiz trade targeted at level 6/grade D pupils. I suggest printing off the red, amber and green questions on their respective colours. Get the pupils to attempt one card and check their answer before beginning the activity. Pupils walk around the room, find somebody with the same coloured question. Once they agree on the answer, they swap cards and repeat the process.

I made this for a low-mid ability year 10 group for an observation. I wanted to cover circumference only. For the extension work, I have used some of the questions published on here by Danielabbott89 and sukh_bal1985. I used the Plickers website to set up some multiple choice questions and display the real time data in lesson. These were used as my progress checks over the lesson. The activities were printed with the QR codes on the back with links to the answers and hints where necessary, allowing the students to get instant feedback and freeing me up. I used the school ipods although they all seem to have smartphones too. I have included the written answers too in case the internet goes down.

I made this for an observation lesson with a low ability year 11 class. You will need to print off the Quiz Quiz Trade (on excel). There are also built in progress checks which I used on mini whiteboards. The countdown timer that I've attached I have downloaded from the website below. www.online-stopwatch.com/download-stopwatch
