Simple starter or plenary suitable for any subject. Adaptable, so use over and over again - even with the same class. Ideal time for discussion of key terms as they are revealed. Enjoy.

A single A4 sheet asking learners to calculate revenue and profit for a given scenario. Perfect for EdExcel Business Studies topic 1.3.2. Comes as a printable PDF, a host online PDF and with answers! Enjoy.

This lesson is PERFECT for an end of term Computing lesson or as a really FUN introduction to Scratch Programming. The 17 slide PowerPoint guides acts as your FULL lesson planning, guiding students through the process of making a racing car game in Scratch. It introduces and explains key terms like Spite, Stage and Variable as the lesson goes along too. If you wish, you could give students the glossary handout to complete throughout the lesson as seven key terms have been highlighted in PINK text to be written into the glossary and defined as the lesson progresses (optional extra!). The lesson includes a short peer assessment activity to look at each other’s games and offer pointers for improvements. In addition, the code on the handout could be annotated by students as a homework task or additional plenary. The lesson includes an extension challenge for higher ability students (fully differentiated by outcome, task and resources available to students). This would really suit KS2 or KS3 classes. My students LOVED it; I’ve used it with all of my year 7 Computing groups as a fun end of term lesson AND with my lower ability year 9 Computer Science GCSE group as an ice breaker introductory lesson to programming basics. Enjoy!

Suitable for any Business Specification where students need to know what Fixed and Variable Costs are. Also discussed (and has an activity) for working out total costs and profit etc. DO NOT BUY if you already have my TASK 5 for Cambridge Nationals. This resource includes ALL theory notes, loads of activities. All top quality. Enjoy.

FULL lesson that introduces Phishing. Includes starter, 2 main activities, lots of discussion, no computers required, 2 worksheets/handouts, full lesson PowerPoint with all answers included and a lesson review. 1. What is Phishing - discuss and write initial ideas (to show progress on the progress path sheet) 2. Identify pointers of a dodgy email (handout included with extension task) 3. Discussion and answers revealed (including possible answers to the extension task) 4. Poster raising awareness task - includes differentiated success criteria that matches the objectives. 5. Plenary review (on handout) that proves progress. No additional planning or adaptation required (bonus!). Enjoy.

NEW! See a video preview of part of this resource below! Reading the description will help you see if this is suitable for your students' ability. I would say, however, that this resource is ideally suited to upper KS2 / lower KS3. This resource is a FULL lesson which introduces Mean Average. All four averages lessons are listed separately OR as one short unit of work at a discounted price, just check my other resources! The PowerPoint goes through what mean average is/how it's calculated. It then has two examples that can be done with your class (teacher led) - all answers are on the PowerPoint too. After each of the teacher led examples is one that students need to try themselves (these are labelled 'try it' on the PowerPoint). These are at the top of the worksheet. Students could try these, with help if needed - this could even be done is pairs. Finally, there's an independent task that has ten examples for students to calculate. These include numbers in the thousands, so differentiation by task is possible. Some answers include decimals. An answer sheet is provided for the teacher too. The lesson is reviewed by students feeding back at the bottom of their handout. All images are either royalty free or made by myself (those coins took some work!). Enjoy ;-)

TWO RESOURCES for the price of ONE with PowerPoint visual for whiteboard to reveal answers/lead discussion and DISPLAY/FLASH CARD resource potential! 1) Colour translation dominoes game = Students need to cut out each of the 10 cards (each card has two halves like a domino). They must then match the French to the English to translate different colours. This should lead to them having a long matching string of cards from start to finish, like a row of corresponding dominoes. This resource could be cut out and laminated to form a reusable game. 2) Colour translation cut ,match and stick activity = Students need to cut out each of the cards and match the French colour names to the English. Again, this resource could be cut out and laminated to form a reusable game. Perfect for KS2 or year 7 french, introducing names of colours in French or for lower ability year 8 groups. Ideal starter to introduce the words, main activity to reinforce translations or plenary to review a lesson. The presentation can also be printed and laminated for display purposes. Printing on A5 could make it form part of a keyword wall or printing 4 to a page would make ideal flashcards! Enjoy.

I designed this lesson plan outline for my department years ago. Having seen 6 million lesson planning formats, I decided we needed one that was quick, easy and, most importantly, all on one sheet (one compulsory planning document from my training days was SIX pages long!). Having your plan all on one page actually makes it USEFUL. Everything is included, just change the blue text to be your planning. Try to be as minimal as possible though, you'll follow it if it's quick to reference. This lesson plan includes objectives, outcomes, starter, mains, plenary, homework, lesson pace (timings), differentiation, support staff and links to numeracy/literacy. Any more than that and it's not useful, but the document is editable so feel free to make changes as you wish. This would be perfect for new teachers/trainees. It's also GREAT to hand to a classroom visitor so they get the gist of the lesson - I know this isn't a requirement but, as a frequent observer myself, it's still really nice to see what's gone before/will come after my ten/twenty minutes within the classroom. An A4 sheet can do a lot! Enjoy.

This lesson introduces students to the different connections available for digital devices (wired and wireless connections). Students should mind map their own ideas first, before answers are revealed (click on the slide to reveal answers!). Students must then research OR use the support sheet to group advantages and disadvantages of each connection type. On the back page of the booklet is a review of the lesson where students must decide on the BEST method of connection; there are more answers, but the IDEAL answer is shown on the PowerPoint itself and students should be told this! Enjoy!

NEW! See a preview of part of this resource in the video below... This is part of a series of lessons for KS2 or KS3 maths on Averages. This lesson introduces the Median. All four averages lessons are listed separately OR as one short unit of work at a discounted price (£10), just check my other resources! The PowerPoint introduces the median then gives two teacher led activities to guide students through finding the median. After each teacher led part, the students get a chance to try themselves, where they can ask questions or even work in pairs. After discovering what the median is and having a go with help, students are given an independent task to work out the median. Some of the answers involve finding the middle value between two given numbers, so not just putting the values in order! An answer sheet is provided for the teacher too, and all answers pop up on the PowerPoint itself! The lesson is reviewed by students feeding back at the bottom of their handout. All images are either royalty free or made by myself (those coins and football shirts took some work!). Enjoy ;-)

NEW! See a video preview of part of this resource below... This is part of a series of lessons for KS2 or KS3 maths on Averages. This lesson introduces the Range. All four averages lessons are listed separately OR as one short unit of work at a discounted price, just check my other resources! The PowerPoint introduces the range average then gives two teacher led activities to guide students through working out the mode. After each teacher led part, the students get a chance to try themselves, where they can ask questions or even work in pairs, these appear at the top of their handout. After discovering what the range is and having a go with help, students are given an independent task to work out the range. An answer sheet is provided for the teacher too, and all answers pop up on the PowerPoint itself! The lesson is reviewed by students feeding back at the bottom of their handout. All images are either royalty free or made by myself (those coins and football shirts took some work!). Enjoy ;-)

The PowerPoint introduces perimeter to students before taking them through three sections (could be three separate lessons). - working out perimeter of squares & rectangles - working out perimeter of shapes without measurements displayed - working out perimeter of shapes with part measurements displayed I've included the student work booklet - this has also been separated into sheets if it makes it easier (not additional resources). Differentiated and fully resourced short set of lessons for KS2 Maths or lower ability KS3/recap. Answers pop up on the PowerPoint, apart from sheet 2 measurements as these depend on how you print the handout! As always, your feedback would be appreciated. Everything is owned/created by me. One or two images have come from a royalty free stock photo site, no permission is required for these to be used in my resource. Enjoy!!

Ideally suited to KS2 or KS3 French lessons, though would be equally good for KS4 lower abilities. This resource introduces French names of nine common fruits in a PowerPoint show. As always, masculine and feminine nouns are colour coded throughout the resource. The PowerPoint would be equally useful for classroom display/keyword wall or printing four to a page for flash cards. Alongside the PowerPoint is a match-up activity. Print this onto card and laminate for longevity or print on paper and get students to glue the matches in their exercise books. As a game, there's also a 'dominoes' activity and instructions. Printing and laminating this means it can be used over and over. Enjoy.

Update: The files marked NEW! include a template for this resource which already has the hyperlinks included in PowerPoint; so if you’re tight on time, students can still make use of this resource without having to learn how to make links. Along with this are 6 challenges (differentiated) and a log for students to complete and take with them - PERFECT for Year 6 Induction in a computer room/IT/Computing lesson. As it’s the end of term, this fun activity still gets students learning about how to add hyperlinks into PowerPoint presentations. The scary maze can be changed for Santa’s maze, if you’re aiming to do something ‘Christmassy’! The activity gets students to create a version of the ‘scary maze game’ (Google it!). They find a scary image that, if their users hit the wall of their maze, will flash on the screen (after slides are linked). I don’t want students having nightmares though, so I have provided an alternative ‘nicer maze game’ too! Included is a student handout, PowerPoint to act as a short lesson guide (two versions - scary and nicer) as well as a scream sound for students to use if placed on a shared area. As always, feedback is welcome! Enjoy! *Copyright - I either own everything or it comes from an acknowledged, royalty free source!

See a video of this resource below! SUCH VALUE FOR MONEY… USE OVER & OVER AGAIN!! This plenary or starter activity gives students thirty seconds to remember ten key terms/words from the lesson or a previous lesson. Students then have forty-five seconds to recall as many of the words as they can - teachers could also insist on correct spellings to add a literacy element to the activity. It comes with sounds, which I hope work. All teachers have to do prior to a lesson is change the key words to be relevant to the subject/lesson they’re teaching. All text/ideas are mine. Images are public domain if not created by me and the backing music is royalty free. Enjoy.

See a video preview of this resource below! Such GREAT value for money… you can use this for any year group, any topic or even any subject once downloaded! USE OVER AND OVER AGAIN!! Remember the game where you’re shown a tray of objects - then they’re covered and you have to remember as many as you can… Well this it THAT game in literacy/teaching and learning terms! Perfect for a starter or plenary activity, students are asked to memorise ten key words / terms. They then have 45 seconds to recall them independently. Perfect for embedding spelling / literacy in your lesson. The PowerPoint has been set up to run itself, so no timers required! All text, ideas are mine. Images are public domain and sounds are royalty free. Enjoy!

This 10 slide PowerPoint is a range of SIMILAR starter or plenary activities. See the video preview below. Can be used OVER and OVER again, so well worth the dollar. The first slides are grids with ANSWERS. Your students need to give the QUESTIONS. Great for questioning, great for differentiation/selecting specific students to answer. There's a version of the same starter which involves splitting your group into two teams to make the activity even more engaging. The slides are fully interactive to allow you to change the numbers RED or BLUE depending on which team gets a point. To ensure longevity of the resource, and the ability to use it LOADS of times with the SAME group, the starters have also been adapted to give questions for students to answer, just to shake things up a bit. Enjoy!

This is another in my 'Let's Learn' series. The lesson gets students to think about their initial ideas before introducing start-up and running costs so progress can easily be judged. The lesson PowerPoint is equally good for revision if printed or made available electronically so it's even more of a bargain! There are two main activities (one is an exam style question assessment that can be peer marked with teacher guidance. The lesson plan is included to guide teachers through every step of the lesson. Enjoy!

DO NOT buy if you already have my Cambridge National Resource or my OCR Homework Booklet! This is a generic introduction to Break-Even and would nicely follow my lesson on Fixed and Variable Costs (not introduced in this lesson). Two activities relating to Break-Even. Full lesson PowerPoint.
