A PPT which breaks down word problems to create simple algebraic equations before solving them. Funny stories make the questions, so I'd suggest you update the PPT with your students' names. After you've done this as a class, you can then use the last slides on the PPT to let students have a try, and give them a 2 question worksheet to try alone.

Create messages for your students written in alien code and print them out instantly. Alien message decoding can be a fantastic activity to engage students with a topic, or to introduce a task. This tool will allow you to type in any message in any (roman alphabet) language, and print out the message in alien code, along with a key. I love to leave these messages for students to find and watch the children's excitement as they try and decode.

Communicative or individual activity including 3 different sheets of Alien code, the answer key, and a key to help students with the decoding. 3 sets of Alien code with a key. Leave the code or messages in a 'space ship' for students to find and let them find the other part elsewhere or simply explain that you 'found these strange messages at home'. Students either communicate to decode the messages or work individually, depending what you want them to do the activity for. Sheet 1 are motivational 'fortune cookie' style messages. Sheet 2 include a treasure hunt based on 5 clues. Sufficiently generic to work in any school. Sheet 3 is a letter from the aliens requesting help. Students decode the message and then the teacher produces a list of whatever the students need to do in order to help them (for example, complete their maths homework, or find the answer to a difficult question.). The children (grades 2-8) I've done this activity with have loved it!

Newly Updated - further updates coming soon. This 18 slide presentation breaks down the language surrounding racism with definitions, examples and talking points. Students will learn what the various terms mean, see examples and give their own examples, before seeing examples from the real world, with photographs in the last few slides. This is an excellent resource for opening up conversations about race and racism and get students to really think about the different types of racism and how they potentially are contributors to racism themselves through their choice of language.

3 different versions of this popular classic with a twist. Communication, competition, maths and fun all rolled into one. Just print and go. Students get a board/grid. Draw the ships onto it and then do sums to fire on their target. If they are wrong, their turn is wasted (they have to debate this with their partner). If correct, they hit or miss. Three versions to allow speedy mathematicians to continue to play while the slower ones just continue with their game.

A line graphs class to teach interpreting and creation of line graphs. Resources for the whole line graphs lesson. This is a whole lesson for teaching interpretation and making of line charts/graphs.

There is an activity at the end differentiated into 3 groups, with a self checklist for students and an explanation of the answers.

Your students need to defeat the Aliens by taking over the school, one room at a time using only their brains. This is a delightful PPT introducing a long running game for your students.

Spend the week teaching them and then finish off the week with a challenge based on what they've learned. Excellent for formative assessment. Easily update the powerpoint with your own challenges and photos of the winning team.

Six posters breaking down how to use 6 tenses in English - Present simple, Present continuous, Past simple, Past continuous, Future with ‘will’ and Future with ‘Going to’. Colourful displays to print out and stick up on the wall or into student notebooks (A3 or A4 for the wall, A4 or A5 for the notebooks). The structures allow students to check their own sentence structures and to get their sentences right while they are learning.

A simple PPT lesson which will introduce interpreting and handling data, specifically with relation to column charts/ bar graphs. It begins by asking students to guess what a blank graph could represent (interpreting data), before moving on to various graphs with questions designed to introduce the vocabulary related to graphs (axis/axes, mode, range) while also interpreting the data. There is one slide at the end which asks a number of questions to check understanding of the vocabulary and to interpret the graph, and then a final slide which asks students to create their own survey question and think about what the graph could look like.
