I've been struggling to find fun ways to quiz the students on the formulae they need to memorise for the new GCSE Maths exams so I have made a catchphrase quiz out of the formulae. My students really enjoy this at the start of a lesson. I sometimes change the image below to a picture of famous person to add more variation to the game. Students either as individuals or small groups answers questions to reveal part of an image. The more questions the students answer the more of the image is revealed. The winner is the person who manages to say what they see and guess the catch phrase. I’ve included the answer to each catch phrase in the notes box, as well as answers on the second page. The maths formulae ones can work either way with a catchphrase underneath each grid.

Three new different types of the interactive seating plan for the new GCSE. 1) Below, On or Above target recording. After a request, I've made this new version to track below target (BT), on target (OT) and above target (AT) within the assessment point boxes instead of grades or levels. MEG - Minimum expected grade 2)New GCSE Grades tracking with + and - symbols Track progress using students Assessment Point Grades/Levels. Grades Range from N, B, 0, 1-, 1, 1+, 2-, ... ..., 8+, 9-, 9, 9+ MEG (Minimum expected grade) has now changed to predicted. SEND and EAL indicators have been added. 3)New GCSE Grades tracking with .25, .75 Track progress using students Assessment Point Grades/Levels. Grades Range from N, B, 0, 1, 1.25, 1.75, 2, ... ..., 8.75, 9, 9.25, 9.75 MEG (Minimum expected grade) has now changed to predicted. SEND and EAL indicators have been added.
