A few resources I created a few years ago. They adapt the standard unit resources.

The powerpoint used to create a near pod presentation. Couldn't share the NPP because of TES rules.

A PPT file support the discovery of interior angle properties of polygon. This is a follow on lesson based around a table with the number of side, number of triangles and interior angle sum columns. A number of tasks at the end extend the ideas beyond the previous lesson.

Starter activity for students to broaden horizons and introduce role models. Supplied in two forms.

Students create their own percentage questions at grades B and C with bonus questions being made at grade A. Students create as opposed to answer ensuring they develop a generality as to the question types and can better identify the processes required.

Here is a little bit of a crib sheet with lots of useful ideas. I've been reading 101 Classroom Games, written from a PE perspective and been looking at how to use it in a maths context. The problem being the context in which answers are given etc. Well worth a read but here is a selection of some of the ideas it has inspired and a crib sheet to keep them in mind and begin using them.

These hexagons promote the discussion over length, area and volume for B to A* candidates. The idea comes from a English observation mentioned on the website linked and has been put into a mathematical context. Place like dominos explaining the decision for the tiles placement in its given location thus revealing the deeper understanding of the student.

Role cards within groups and classes. I've labelled each of my table positions and simply ask 1s to collect a particular role card. 2s to act as Behaviour Captains etc. I've added a .ppt file for you to edit. Initial idea credit has to go to Emma Ingate.

A tutor time lesson on influential people and their effect on the students. This sessions culminates in students considering the people that have most influence over them and producing a written report.

Involves groups of students developing their own skills in construction using independent learning. The team challenge is to produce the final piece of presentation work over a series of lessons. During these lessons the teacher or more able students provide demonstrations of construction techniques that assist in the completion of the task. Due to the repetition students consolidate their understanding of key elements and focus on supporting others. The task is linked to the 12 days of Christmas.

A self contained document originally designed for varying tasks per table completed on a rotation basis. There are information sheets and questions sheets. It has however since been used to create a mini booklet for individual work.

Three problems designed to get students learning by pursuing answers to big problems, consolidating understanding as they go.

Name the graph, higher tier.

Differentiated circumference questions.

Carpet and wallpaper a house with given information.

3 minute assessment groups of 3. Specific role cards.
