Guidance for teachers to start using word roots to help students to understand technical words, to make links between different words/subjects, and to improve their spelling. 🌟😊🌟 PLEASE RATE THIS RESOURCE 🌟😊🌟

A selection of thoughtful resources to use with a new class, including: 🌚 Guidelines for a student "Neat Book": A personalised revision guide, separate from their normal book of solutions and workings, where they explain clearly their own understanding of each topic for future revision and for peer teaching. 🌚 A student info sheet where they have to draw pictures to represent their interests and career plans for you to incorporate into future lessons. 🌚 An introduction to the classroom rules & ethos. 🌚 An student voice activity for students to rank what they think is most important to learn. 🌚 An insert for students to create a Contents Page for each Learning Objective and rate the topic for understanding at the start and end of the lesson, and to rate their enjoyment and participation. 🌚 A sheet for students to write down their hobbies and interests so that they can be incorporated into future maths lessons. 🌚 A poster for the classroom door asking students to line up in alphabetical order. 🌚 A multiple choice PowerPoint where students have to guess which of the interesting things I have really done in my life (you can adapt it for yourself of course). [PLOT TWIST: All the options are true for me!] 🌚 A discussion for a new teacher to have with a mature class. 🌚 Scrabble Game: Students work out the score of their name by adding the letter scores, e.g. BEN = 3+1+1=5. Then see if you get a different class winner if you work out the product instead, e.g. BEN = 3x1x1=3. For more advanced classes you can work out the exponent (3^1^1=3) and discuss the order that the exponent operation follows. 🌟😊🌟 PLEASE RATE THIS RESOURCE 🌟😊🌟
