Horse racing

Horse racing

Let each student pick one of the horses to back in the race (but don't tell them the dice will decide!). Roll 2 dice and add together the numbers to decide which horse moves forward. After the race, have them change their horses and race again. (This depends on the length of your lesson obviously) Have them work out which horse is most likely to win using probability. Why won&'t 1 move? Why is 12 very unlikely to move? Why doesn&';t 7 win every race?

I used this to recap differentiation and introduce the idea of integration in core 1, but it could easily be used during differentiation lessons as well.
Higher and Foundation flash cards for revision

Higher and Foundation flash cards for revision

(1)
These are revision cards to use with students to help them remember their need to know formulae, conversions, facts and rules, and key words. Also included is an edited version to be used for revision quizzes (10 questions for 10 weeks, both foundation and higher versions). There are approximately 100 cards in a pack! ADVICE! Open the PDF “print” files and print 4 per page, colour, doubled sided on card and guillotine them. This will make 4 sets of the cards. We photocopied them onto different coloured paper for the different sections (so printed in black and white), then hole punched and bound them together with treasury tags.

Harry potter probability

Teaching probability based around harry potter. My students found this a lot of fun, though I guess it depends on your class! The question that goes with the very last slide is 'Why isn't the probability of picking the snitch 1/4?'

These papers test skills that appear on both foundation and higher tier papers. Each paper has three versions to choose from: Bronze, Silver and Gold. They are the same questions, but the amount of scaffolding is adjusted in each. There are worked solutions to accompany every paper. The Platinum paper is an extension to further challenge your students.

Erica's errors - GCSE

(29)
We are starting to see more and more questions at GCSE asking students to spot and correct the mistake made. Clumsy Clive and Erica’s errors problems by @andylutwyche for are a perfect way to tackle this and I have edited and collated them togther. “Erica has made some silly mistakes on her homework. Your students’ task is to find the errors, correct them and explain what Erica has done incorrectly. This should generate discussion in class.”
