Resource; FDP – Worded Problem homework. Based on questions from the SAMs, New Specimen papers from EDEXCEL.

This way the know my expectation for homework. Solutions Contains; 1. 7 worded problems. You are probably thinking why so little? Well, because my pupils find worded problems really difficult so I am trying to get quality homework rather than quantity homework. I do see a huge difference in the quality I am receiving and I am happy with that. Based on new style questions from the Pearson Edexcel exams. 2.

Attached is a basic PPT for a lower ability class in KS3. It goes through number facts and a movie at the end of each round. Pupils are placed into groups - no more than 4 per group as people start to disengage, you can give each pupil a job to ensure all are working. All should have working out paper. This is a great way to encourage group mathematical discussion and pupils working together. 4 rounds - 5 questions each and the best team with the most points at the end wins a maths piece of equipment. Q4 is the same on all rounds as it was something my class found difficult, some serious misconceptions around adding unlike terms in maths.

Work in pairs. To play you must answer the question in each of the squares. If you get that question correct you can place your sticker over that square with the answer on it. The winner is the first person to get four questions correctly answered in a row vertically or diagonally. 12 questions involving basic to problem solving with algebra and angles. Answers included. Good to challenge lower ability sets on knowledge of angles and algebra but also good to stretch pupils who know their angles facts.

Learners are given the opportunity to calculate missing angles on a straight line, around a point and in a triangle. Once they have achieved each there is a problem involving algebra to challenge their knowledge and understanding. My year 8s loved this.

Resource; Collecting like terms – Tick or Trash (3 sets). Tick or Trash one – basic collecting like terms. Allowing students to apply their knowledge of basic simplifying expressions.
