πΎ Ultimate Substitution Laminate πΎ Colourful, Engaging & Educational!
Carefully-designed to develop a deep understanding of substitution without having to pre-teach any fixed methods. For the best result print in colour on two sheets of A4 and laminate them together back to back. The reverse side can then be filled in with a board marker which the students really enjoy. Colourful, engaging and encourages critical thinking. One of my favourite resources.

π Resources for a New Class π Info Sheets, Book Inserts & Activities
A selection of thoughtful resources to use with a new class, including:
π 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.
π A student info sheet where they have to draw pictures to represent their interests and career plans for you to incorporate into future lessons.
π An introduction to the classroom rules & ethos.
π An student voice activity for students to rank what they think is most important to learn.
π 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.
π A sheet for students to write down their hobbies and interests so that they can be incorporated into future maths lessons.
π A poster for the classroom door asking students to line up in alphabetical order.
π 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!]
π A discussion for a new teacher to have with a mature class.
π 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.
