This is a resource I use to engage learners when the class novel is being read aloud. For each chapter there are questions which learners can a) verbally answer at the end of the chapter or b) write down in their jotters.
LI: To calculate and consider my SPENDING and BUDGETING.
This resource is great for IDL during a Jacobite/Scottish topic. Learners have been invited to a Jacobite party and they must choose garments to make a complete outfit. They must calculate their spending and then work within a budget making substitutions if they have overspent.
Learners enjoy drawing out their outfit and adding price labels to their pictures. They are engaged and share their outcomes with the class during a plenary.
A differentiated comprehension resource to use during a topic about the Jacobites. Learners enjoy learning about the various battles that took place in Scotland during the Jacobite era.
Learners work in a team to research and remember as many facts about Donald Dewar as possible. I based these questions of the Twinkl ‘Donald Dewar Fact File’ https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/cfe2-t-2547877-donald-dewar-fact-file
After, Learners come together and the quiz show, Blockbuster begins with a student from each team nominated to take the hot seat.
Teams must make their way across the honeycomb by answers questions correctly about Donald Dewar. If learners get answers correct, the segment of honeycomb is coloured in their teams colour and they can go on to the next question. If the learner gets the question wrong, the honeycomb segment remains uncoloured and a different team member from another team is selected for the hot seat.
Super visual for voice levels in the class. With this visual, learners take responsibility of their focus during group work, partner or independent tasks. It’s good to encourage learners to decide the appropriate volume during a task and ask them to light up the correct voice level light.
The visuals work perfectly with battery powered tap lights. I purchased these lights from Amazon, please click on the link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07SD3T8M1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Great way to encourage teamwork amongst your learners at their tables. Depending on your current topic, insert these visuals so they can easily remember their team name and great for the teacher for classroom management.
LI: To add prices in a real life context.
Give your learners a budget and these prices to get food and accessories for a Burns Night party. Learners should consider substitutions they should make when going over budget or if they are under-budget they should consider another product. More able learners should consider how many people are invited to the party and multiply the prices accordingly.
Differentiated worksheet on number patterns/sequences. Ask your learners to spot the changes between the numbers in the sequences and then to figure out the next number in pattern.
A matching activity to help learners establish the connection between repeated addition and times tables. Each segment should be cut out and as a small group, they work together to match them altogether. For fast finishers, they can great a poster with their knowledge.
A differentiated worksheet to help learners see the patterns going on within their multiplications and to see if there are any patterns that can help them to recite their times tables fluently.
LI: To calculate the correct amount of change.
A visual, differentiated worksheet with relevant products that learners will relate to. It will help them to work with coins.
