A worksheet with problems on angles at a point, on a line and in a triangle. Differentiated worksheets designed for a middle year 7 group.

Role cards within groups and classes. I've labelled each of my table positions and simply ask 1s to collect a particular role card. 2s to act as Behaviour Captains etc. I've added a .ppt file for you to edit. Initial idea credit has to go to Emma Ingate.

A series of probability scenarios to consider the outcomes for, identify successes and then calculate the probability for.

From angles on a straight line through to isosceles triangles with a straight line. Answers at the bottom. They can be chopped of or used to self assess with a focus on correctly justifying your answer as opposed to simply correctly answering.

Graduating/Differentiated worksheets on expanding brackets designed originally for a year 7 group. S They are scaffolded to use the 'Santa's Hat' method of expanding a bracket.

Two differentiated worksheets on finding the missing lengths of similar shapes. Both worksheets conclude with a challenge question taken from GCSE exam papers.

Involves groups of students developing their own skills in construction using independent learning. The team challenge is to produce the final piece of presentation work over a series of lessons. During these lessons the teacher or more able students provide demonstrations of construction techniques that assist in the completion of the task. Due to the repetition students consolidate their understanding of key elements and focus on supporting others. The task is linked to the 12 days of Christmas.

Poster for to help develop independent workers.

Designed as a revision exercise for year 11s but equally applicable within KS4 and higher attaining KS3. Matching description, formaule, diagram and answer(given diagrams dimensions). Designed to recap finding area of a variety of shapes including circles.

A selection of starters/do nows to aid National Careers Week and the application of mathematics to a wide variety of jobs.

I wasn’t quite happy with what was out there so created these 3 files. One blank, one complete(potentially a knowledge organiser for quadrilaterals) and a third for a quick quiz. Bonus resource on Always, Sometimes, Never related to quadrilaterals.

A tarsia puzzle designed to develop students' use of trigonometric identities. Useful for both initial teaching and revision and recap for C2. Involves numerous problems all requiring the application of the two most basic trigonometric identities.

An opportunity to recap and revise simultaneous equations with a versatile resource. Idea 1 - Roll the dice to select the question and then race in pairs or small groups to gain the answer. Counters can be used to award point for the team with the first correct answer. Idea 2 - Connect 4. In pairs answer the question of your choice with the aim of forming 4 in a row. Idea 3 - In pairs take it in turns to roll a pair of dice and complete the question. A correct answer and you control the square, otherwise you partner has a turn to steal. Winner has the most squares.

Another attempt to put knowledge organisers to good use. This time with inequalities. Check you http://www.greatmathsteachingideas.com/2016/01/17/knowledge-organisers-better-than-learning-objectives-and-great-for-building-retention/ for the inspiration. Comments welcome.

Lesson crafted to enable all students to draw quadratics with the outcomes: To substitute values into quadratics. To draw quadratic graphs. To find solutions to quadratics graphically. Easily adaptable to more difficult quadratics.

Various 'Rally Coach' activities designed to aid cooperative learning though pupils coaching each other.

Lesson designed to teach the following objectives in a high pace, clear progress and differentiated manner to a KS3 group. To identify integer values of inequalities. To show inequalities on a number line. To read inequalities off a number line. The first power point contains all worksheets, progress checks, extension tasks and quiz quiz trade cards. The second is edited just to include the slides that are presented to the students.

Prime factor decomposition is an deal opportunity to build it something a little different with an Optimus Prime factor decomposition relay. In pairs or teams students receive the first piece of the puzzle and are instructed to write the number as the product of its prime. On successful completion they receive the second piece and so on. It culminate with a race to build the transformer that then leads to the ultimate conclusion that prime factorisation is simply about transforming numbers from one look to another without changing who they truly are! PDF attached for ease and a word document attached so that you can edit the difficulty and create your own. The lesson that I typically accompany the activity with is also included.
