Many people forget that Maths has a huge element of literacy to it. If students do not understand what the word means or the symbol means, how are they ever going to be able to complete the paper. This is a four sided pyramid which can sit on all Maths desks from Year 7 through to Year 11. One side has key symbols, another key words of algebra, another side for number and another for exam command words. Print them on card and form groups can assemble them easily.

This is a series of activities which help students think about their future as they progress from Key Stage 3 into Key Stage 4. It can be completed over the first two weeks of Key Stage 4 as form time activities. It looks at such issues as organisation, leadership, school references, study skills, emotional intelligence, intelligence in itself, learning styles and their future. Handouts are included on the one long PowerPoint so all resources are in one place. They can be printed or just used electronically.

Put through your filters and adapt for your lesson.

The theme of the assembly is to look at kindness in war – how in any situations of war, both sides think they are right. We can look back at World War 1 now and realise that everyone was just fighting for what they believed to be true. Within these horrible situations of war, kindness is still evident. Link back to football matches during the Christmases of 1914 & 1915. The assembly starts with a comparison of then to now. It then looks at some examples from the war in Gallipoli of kindness in a horrible situation. You may want to play the Gallipoli song, ‘ Waltzing Matilda’ as the students enter. Kindness starts with the way we treat each and every human being we meet. If we cannot be kind today, when we have peace and democracy, what does that say about us as human beings?
