These worksheets break up percentage calculations - first they divide numbers into 10 or 5%, then they calculate small numbers and then they apply it to practical problems.
This activity is helpful when you are teaching perimeter and area of triangles, trapeziums and parallelograms. Each group prepares a poster on the rules of their shape and then presents it to the class. This took most of the lesson and they all knew the rules by the end of the lesson.
This activity is ideal for when you are starting to teach symmetry (year 7/8). I cut out the words on coloured paper and then hung them in a random order around the whiteboard and asked the students to put it in the correct order, which makes them work out the definition.
This is the test I gave the lower ability students in the Year 8 class. It first covers material on the Year 7 syllabus and then goes onto the Year 8 syllabus. The questions are set out clearly and accurately.
This worksheet teaches students how to draw angles in a practical way. They first need to draw the time on the clock and then measure the angle they have drawn. More advanced students can name the angle.
This slideshow takes 5 minutes. It can be used at the start of the lesson when reviewing the names of angles, the students write the correct name on their whiteboard and show it up to the teacher. This shows the teacher who grasped the topic.
This worksheet is for year 7 or 8, to help them learn the names of the angles, as well as recognize that degrees are also named. I used it to quiz the students on who remembers this from last year.
This worksheet is to be used with the other negative numbers worksheet, which I have uploaded. This is for students who need independant work otherwise they end up copying from their friends.
This activity is meant to be used with NUMBER TILES. The student is given 17 tiles and fills in the boxes in column 1 with the numbers on their tiles. Then they switch it over to their neighbour and calculate the sums. Then they fill in the boxes on column 2 with their number tiles and passes it to the next girl to complete.
This worksheet gives students the skills to multiply and divide with negative numbers. First the student must multiply by a small value, then divide by a small value. Once the student has done a few simple sums they are ready to go on to more complex multiplying and dividing sums.
This worksheet is similar to 'multiples and factors' however I find that some students copy others so I have this worksheet with the same activities, except different numbers.
This worksheet teaches students multiples and factors and introduces to them that many multiples and factors overlap - this shows they are common and is a stepping stone for lowest common factors and highest common multiples.
This worksheet gives students extra practise on basic negative numbers and introduces the concept of algebra, where letters substitute numbers. This also encourages partner work, since one partner writes the sums and the other writes the answers. This can be a helpful way of finishing the topic.
