This is some of the key words or concepts from KS3 Mathematics set up as keyword sheets. These have been broken down into topics. Although not an exhaustive list - they are a basis to build on.
Based on a design by MrMorton Science.
Exit cards covering several different objectives within the probability topic. From probability scale to sample space diagrams 'and&' and &';or' rules and probability trees thrown in.
A useful plenary allowing self and teacher assessment.
There is a blank box at the bottom of each card. I use this to write a comment/set a target/set a new task or level student’s answers but could equally be used for students to make a comment. All feedback appreciated.
Exit cards covering several different objectives within the algebra topic. Going from substitution through inequalities and rearranging formula up to completing the square and solving quadratics. A useful plenary allowing self and teacher assessment. There is a blank box at the bottom of each card. I use this to write a comment/set a target/set a new task or level student’s answers but could equally be used for students to make a comment. All feedback appreciated.
A Quiz Quiz Trade resource for factorising quadratics with coefficients.
Questions and answers. The answers are reversed so that they can be printed as double sided.
Exit cards for percentages. A useful plenary allowing self and teacher assessment and to inform planning. There is a blank box at the bottom of each card. I use this to write a comment/set a target/set a new task or as a mini DIRT task but could equally be used for students to make a comment. All feedback appreciated.
After trialling several different ideas these are the ones that I am happiest with.
I get students to complete the top row, which I then mark. I RAG the traffic light monster and highlight one or two tasks for students to follow up with.
This one covers simple solving equations.
Exit cards for HCF and LCM. A useful plenary allowing self and teacher assessment and to inform planning. There is a blank box at the bottom of each card. I use this to write a comment/set a target/set a new task or as a mini DIRT task but could equally be used for students to make a comment. All feedback appreciated.
Random Acts of Kindness Stickers.
I have these as part of a display in my classroom for students to take as and when needed to reward a colleague for their help or support or to act as an act in itself.
A freer version of peer assessment as it is not dictated by me when they are used.
Instead of just me praising a student for helping someone else, now that student can thank them.
Stand alone peer and self assessment questions. The first three pages are peer assessment questions and I print these on cream paper, the last three pages are self assessment questions and I print these on white paper. They are then screwed up to look like popcorn and popped into the popcorn tubs.
Students take a question and either discuss it with their partner or complete the question in their books for self assessment. They then screw it back up and pop it back in the tub.
They are generalised questions so can suit any lesson as a quick and easy plenary. I have the tubs ready to go and just put them out on desks at the end of a lesson.
Entry/Exit cards/tickets for Loci and Construction.
Simple cards but might save you some time. Includes fixed distance from a point, fixed distance from a line, angle bisector, and perpendicular bisector.

This one covers quadratic sequences.
Exit Cards for use with Angles topic. Topics covered include angles on a straight line, angles around a point and angles in a triangle. There is a blank box at the bottom of each card. I use this to write a comment/set a target/set a new task but could equally be used for students to make a comment. A quick way to assess student's progress within the lesson and lets you set a new question to further extend or consolidate as a piece of DIRT feedback. All feedback appreciated.
An Invictus themed reading task based on the reading tasks created by Labrown20.

Exit cards covering several different objectives within the ratio and proportion topic. From shading ratios, simplifying ratio, dividing and sharing ratios, direct and inverse proportions, vectors and a couple of actual recipes thrown in. Several cards on each file. A useful plenary allowing self and teacher assessment. There is a blank box at the bottom of each card. I use this to write a comment/set a target/set a new task but could equally be used for students to make a comment.

A Remembrance Poppy themed reading task based on the reading tasks created by Labrown20. This looks at the Poppies that are on display at the Tower of London for Remembrance Day.
A Quiz Quiz Trade resource for finding missing angles from a point, a right angle, a triangle and on a straight line.
Questions and answers. The answers are reversed so that they can be printed as double sided.
