These worksheets (with solutions) help students take the first steps and then strengthen their skills and knowledge of Expanding Brackets in which the term outside of the brackets contains both a number and letter. Questions are carefully planned so that understanding can be developed, misconceptions can be identified and so that there is progression both across and down each sheet. Interactive versions of these sheets are available at https://www.maths4everyone.com/skills/expanding-a-bracket-2261.html The interactive version allows individual questions to be selected for enlarged display onto a screen. The answer can then be worked out ‘live’ by the teacher (or student) or a single click will reveal my solution. This not only helps in class, but it is also very useful for a student who is revising at home.

This is a fun interactive whiteboard game, created in PowerPoint, with triggered animations. All my students have loved this activity ('Sir, can we play the chain-game?'). It is enjoyable for both high and low ability – it not only helps familiarise students with the triangle numbers, but they also need to remember where the numbers are hidden! -- I typically use this activity as a starter and then as a plenary at the end of the lesson. It gets the whole class involved – even when it's not a students turn, they are repeating the numbers in their head and they are desperate to say where the next number is! The way that I play the game: 1. I go through the members of the sequence and ensure that the students are familiar with each of the numbers; 2. When the board is revealed, I give about 15 seconds to ‘peek��� at the uncovered board so that the students can try to learn where the first few numbers are; 3. I then call up the students one-at-a-time to try an uncover as many numbers as they can before they go wrong. NOTES: I encourage the students to call out the number that they are looking for because this reinforces the learning. This activity works very well if you get two students to play against each other ��� either on the interactive whiteboard or on PCs.

This is more than just finding words on a grid. The words are not given, they have to get them from the diagrams. There is a moderate and a 'difficult' version so the activity is accessible to all and there are many opportunities for extension. The PowerPoint reveals the solutions one word at a time so you can stop and discuss each shape as you go. Try it and you will see what I mean☺. This has been used with classes from Year 6 to Year 11 and they have loved it and had many useful discussions. The activity could be given as a homework as well as used in the classroom. With older students, when I go through the answers I use it as an opportunity to revise the properties of the shapes as well. --- You can give students as much help as you like, but if you leave them to it… they have to think about the names of the shapes; they have to think about the spelling of the names; they have to look for names that are not represented by the diagrams. Because the diagrams have been drawn for the students, there is the opportunity to talk about the use of little squares to indicate right-angles, the use of little lines to indicate equal length sides and the use of arrows to indicate parallel lines. Three additional 2D shapes are hidden in the grid (these are nonagon, decagon and icosagon). The 3D shapes that are hidden are cone, cube, cuboid, cylinder, pyramid, sphere & tetrahedron. The solutions to the moderate version are contained within the pdf; the PowerPoint contains the solutions to the ‘difficult’ version. --- If you like this activity then look through the other resources that I have uploaded by clicking -->https://tes.com/Morse's-Resources.

Aimed at KS1, this is a really good activity for getting students to do lots of adding (and some subtracting). It is ideal as a starter or plenary, but it is quite easy to extend it by modifying the starting number and/or the numbers which the students must add or subtract. I have included worksheets set at three different levels, each with a relevant extension – a sheet of blank grids are provided in case of mistakes or for you to set an even more challenging spiral for your Superstars. I have also copied each of the spirals and the full solutions into a PowerPoint so that it is easy for you to display on screen. When a student finishes a spiral you can get them to circle the even numbers, or numbers bigger than (for example) ‘20’ , or number with (for example) a ‘4’ in them. Other extensions include selecting numbers (maybe the corner numbers) and getting students to write them as words, or to add them together – depending upon the age/capabilities of your particular class.

More than 600 computing terms explained in Plain English and designed to be used as exam answers - many of the definitions are based on the mark schemes of past papers. There is one file for A4 printing, one for an A5 booklet and a third, editable file, which you or your students can personalise. An excellent reference; it will certainly be a useful addition to any resource that you already have.

These reusable cards are excellent for one-to-one tutorials and interventions. They are also great when working with small groups or as a starter/plenary for a whole class. For Loop Cards on more than 50 other topics click 👉 www.tes.com/../more.... This particular set of cards allows students to practise working out the next two terms in a quadratic sequence. Note that the questions have been carefully selected so that they provide good coverage of this topic and so that the opportunities for students to guess answers are minimised. Colour coding: All my loop cards are colour-coded to indicate the approximate level of the questions: KS2 – red and orange KS3/GCSE Foundation – orange and green GCSE Higher – green, blue and purple Further information: In this download there are four sets of similar cards and a student chooses one of the sets and sorts them into order by answering the questions. Then they try to do it faster using a different set, which has the same questions, but a different sort order 😃 My favourite use of loop cards is for two students to have different versions of the cards and race each other. They then check their answers, shuffle, swap packs and race again (quickest overall time wins). More instructions are included in the download. Cut out card size is approx. 65 x 90 mm. 👍If you like this resource, then please rate it and/or leave a comment💬.
