Middle school math resources

4 games and activities to brighten up learning how to convert mixed numbers to improper fractions and vice-versa.

Two “Crack The Safe��� activities to test students on their trigonometry knowledge, and with a selection of possible answers they can self-check their solutions. These have been designed to be used as starters and plenaries and should create a bit of discussion in class as well.

An assessment checkist that takes the objectives from the 2017-2018 KS2 pre-key stage framework.

21 hours of PSHCE lessons as picked and requested by a Tes user.

Students are given some time to try and memorise all the facts on the first slide. After a dramatic countdown, advance the PP to make a fact disappear. Students have to write down the one that disappeared (harder than it seems!) Advance every min (or appropriate time) until all the facts are gone. The final slide contains the facts in the correct order. I found it worked well to tell the students it will be marked out of 24, with 2 marks for a fully correct answer and 1 mark for the key word(s) at my discretion. Students marked their own work at the end.

I’ve designed this for the whole school, specifically to celebrate Shakespeare’s birthday. There are some video links for students to watch but there should be a link to each subject (apart from ICT - apologies) The idea is that students are made aware of the idea that Shakespeare is applicable to every subject and not just English. There are also form time activities for students to complete with tutors.

If like mine your class are obsessed with the game Fortnite then this could help them to learn about grid referencing and coordinates. Easy to edit and cater to your classes needs and levels. While also satisfying their need to discuss it…constantly.

Suitable for year 6. Dimensions of the wall and tile are given. Decimal multiplication is needed to work out the areas of both. The children need to use decimal division to work out number of tiles. Second question requires them to cost the job using a given, simple hourly rate. Very often, with multi step problems, the children have forgotten to go back to the question and make sure they have worked it through to the end…hence the worksheet. I have hand written the answers as I find this helps them , when they are checking their work . Some of my children are very reluctant to commit pencil to paper but I find that if they see some examples, they realise they can work the answer faster if they are writing down the steps. If you do download and you have time, I’d be grateful for any feedback…good or bad. Thanks.
