PowerPoint for Best Buys using baked beans, dog food and ketchup to demonstrate how to work out which is the best value for money. Designed to be used as the basis for explanations, discussion and examples. (And what happens if there’s an offer on?)

12 maths questions a day for 10 days. Handy for the countdown to the maths SATs. The questions are designed to challenge more able students who are working at or above the expected level for Year 6. There are 10 worksheets which cover a variety of different topics from the KS2 national curriculum. Also useful for KS3 and KS4 students who are covering basics.

This resource starts with a list of "weak" adjectives, and the student is tasked with providing a better adjective. Then they can put what they have done to use with an editing activity below. Ideal for EAL/ ESOL teaching, lower ability GCSE English language groups and KS3.

This two worksheet free taster of the full set of 40 worksheets contains questions to aid your year 6 pupils in their SATs revision. The questions are suitable for whole class usage as they span the entire KS2 curriculum. Opportunities for reasoning and literacy are on each sheet. The grid layout helps pupils to learn to move to a different question when they are struggling and that working in numerical order isn’t always the most natural thing; when faced with all the questions at once they can treat it as a pick n mix sheet, opting to answer the questions in the order they choose. Suitable to be used as a weekly homework across the year where you can measure progress in the build up to SATs with a reduced need to complete practice tests or as part of independent revision work in class as SATs week gets closer. Can also be used for slow grasping/ lower ability year 7 & 8 pupils.

Ideal for upper KS2 or Lower KS3. Interpreting number, using data in a table to give calculations and using addition and subtraction of 3-digit-numbers. Ideal homework sheet.

I used this with a bottom set year 8 class (very low ability, high level of SEND) to find out what they already knew about triangles. They went around the classroom talking to each other to fill in about the four triangles pictured. Then after feeding back and correcting misconceptions we filled in a new sheet to stick in their exercise books. Would work well for a KS2 shape revision lesson before SATs also.

Great for getting pupils truly familiar with their calculator - especially year 7 who are probably using a scientific calculator for the first time. This worksheet is designed as an annotating activity for the Casio fx-85GTX which is recommended by exam boards. This is also great for coming up to GCSE exams as one thing that examiners seem to repeat is that candidates often don’t seem to know how to use their calculator to the best effect!

Success Criteria I can share an amount into two parts in a given part:part ratio I can share an amount into two parts in a given part:whole ratio I can I can solve problems using sharing in a ratio Full lesson from starter to plenary and everything in between. The entire lesson is contained within the PowerPoint, helping to save on printing. Differentiation offered through BSG activity. Includes established opportunities for AfL. Incredibly visual representation, making it perfect for KS2, SEND/MLD and low ability learners at secondary.

Lesson on Compound Measures used for middle ability year 10 class. Includes some exam questions, rearranging the formulae and converting units of measure.

In all my years of tutoring and teaching, this is still the most requested game that I have made! Contains pdf and pub version (so you can edit as needed). Times tables from 2x to 15x and square numbers to 12 making it perfect from KS1 right through to KS4. Ideal for preparing for the Year 4 times tables check. Perfect pair work - just add a pair of dice! Also makes a great home learning task. Update April 2020: I’ve added in a PowerPoint version and a Google Slides version for use in virtual classrooms or even for suggesting your pupils use to play with each other while they’re at home to keep up their skills.

This pack contains three different resources. One set of tray labels for collecting books in. Pupils then assess their level of confidence in the lesson and put their book on the appropriate pile. This helps you to identify which books will need that extra amount of care when marking. One set of desk cards that pupils can use to show their confidence rating during the lesson. Either encourage them to place their eraser on the emoji that matches how they feel or when you are walking around you could build a routine where they simply point to how they are feeling at that time as you cast a cursory glance over their work One set of exit posters that pupils can put a a blank post-it on (or even a question or comment) as they leave the classroom to show how they are feeling about a topic or single lesson. This works well if you think your pupils will be more honest with anonymity or if the pupils are taking their work home. Each resource contains a Red/ Amber/ Green rating system which is accompanied by an emoji and words making it suitable across ages and ability levels and perfect for SEND classes. This is a very easy to implement AfL system that encourages pupils to take note of how they are feeling in relation to their learning.

Matching activity in which pupils match the word to its definition. Some definitions contain words whose definitions are also included (such as integer etc.) so patience and teamwork is essential to complete the whole set. An ideal group - or even whole class - activity. Mathematical vocabulary includes words related to: shape, measure, number, ratio, data. If there are any words missing from the set, then let me know! I am more than happy to add to it! Ideal for schools working on a mastery curriculum.

This resource contains 27 literary devices and their definitions as well as three column headings: device, definition, example. The example column is to be provided by the learners and can be done in relation to the texts that you are studying. Ensure that the cards are cut out in advance (or as a minimum cut the sheets into strips and get pupils to cut down further). This is simply because the definitions correspond to the device in the same location on each sheet. Because the definitions and devices can be matched easily from the uncut sheet, it makes this a brilliant task to be used during a cover lesson if a non-specialist is delivering the work. The front sheet provides visual instructions to support learners during the task.

A wordsearch for the names of special quadrilaterals and triangles. Includes two versions for differentiation. One has the names of the shapes included and the other simply instructs to find the names of the quadrilaterals and triangles they have been learning about that week (this version has a few red herrings thrown in). Even though the two wordsearches look different, the words to be found are in the same place in each - making it easy to use both versions of the sheet in the same class.

Sort the characters and themes into whether they are relevant to Romeo and Juliet or not, but watch out for a few red herrings in there! This activity is ideal for low ability learners and SEND to check learning in Romeo and Juliet. It is a self contained activity, including instructions making it ideal for a cover lesson.

This revision workbook guides pupils’ revision for their GCSE English Literature exam on Romeo and Juliet. It helps them to organise their work into an easier to access format. The workbook can be completed within class alongisde their learning as they create their own revision guide or it can be set as an ongoing homework. The revision workbook also aids in AfL as it helps to identify areas within Romeo and Juliet that are needed for extra revision. It is a purely text focused book making it suitable for any exam board.

An Unseen Poetry Practice test using Audre Lorde’s ‘A Woman Speaks’ and Dominique Christina’s ‘A Dream About Shouting’. It takes the same format as the AQA exam, however there are added hints along the way to guide pupils.

This pack includes: Finding the nth term worksheet (Ascending) (& answers) Finding the nth term worksheet (Descending) Generating Sequences worksheet (& answers) nth term homework 1&2 (including term to term rule) Quick AfL PPT “what comes next?” I used it with mid to low ability year 7 classes but the differentiation within the worksheet means that the worksheets could be used for any KS3/KS4 class. Even includes fractional sequences for a bit of stretch and challenge towards the end!

Scaffolded worksheet that I used with a mid to low ability Year 7 group to build on place value to multiply and divide decimals, but absolutely perfect for KS3 & 4 as this often poses difficulty with foundation GCSE students. The worksheet features a worked example alongside an incomplete example. This makes it suitable to use for a “follow along” example in class; for a piece of catch up work, homework or revision; or even for use as part of a cover lesson.
