Complete differentiated lesson plan for division with bus stop method. There are differentiated questions in the powerpoint, but I have included the complete worksheet they came from and a treasure hunt activity as alternatives for consolidation should you prefer to use them.

Fun and engaging bingo activity on finding the median of a dataset for use in the classroom, ideally to consolidate learning that has already taken place. Printable grids included for pupils to use. Questions include those with even frequencies and involving the order of negative numbers.

Fun and engaging bingo activity on finding the range of a dataset for use in the classroom to consolidate learning. Printable grids included for pupils to use. Questions include those with negative and decimal values and are easily rearranged for reuse.

This is a set of 5 engaging Equations Codebreaker worksheets where pupils need to solve the equations (including some negative answers), and fill in the grids below with the correct letters to find the hidden messages/joke punchlines. The hidden messages should read as follows: One Step Equations - “He stole the queens hat” Two Step Equations - “Chocolate ice cream sandwiches” Two Step Equations with Fractions - “It grew square roots” Equations with Brackets - “The Thief was Prince Harry!” Equations with unknowns on both sides - “Because it had so many problems” These resources are also available individually from my page.

Three worksheets on drawing pie charts to scaffold and extend pupils understanding: Sheet 1 - Completing pie charts when given the angles, practicing the skill of drawing and then scaffolding the calculation of angles. Sheet 2 - Drawing pie charts from frequency tables. Sheet 3 - Reasoning questions including fractions, ratio, percentages and algebra.

Fun and engaging class game based on the old TV show Blockbusters, with questions on expanding single brackets. These range from fairly basic ones, to questions including negative multiplication and multiplying variable by variable. Split the class into two teams, blue and white. The blue team must try to create a connected blue line from left to right, the white team must try to do the same from top to bottom. Click on the letters to link to the questions, if the answering team gets it right then click “Game board” to get back to the start, and click on the appropriate colour for that team to turn the tile blue or white.

Fun and engaging bingo activity on expanding brackets for use in the classroom to consolidate learning. Printable grids included for pupils to use. Questions range from more basic examples such as 3(x + 5) to include subtraction, non-unitary coefficients of x, having the variable as an external factor and the inclusion of more than one variable. Initially the questions are roughly in order of difficulty, but being in PowerPoint format, are easily rearranged should use wish the complexity to be mixed up as you go through.

Fun, engaging and easy to use bingo activity on multiplying and dividing negative numbers. The competitive element (especially with prospect of rewards) really helps to get pupils involved in the game. The answers are on the second slide for the pupils to choose at random, either in their books or using the 3 x 3 empty grids that can be printed from the first slide. The files are in Powerpoint format so they can be used on any system.

SMART Notebook (and Powerpoint for non SMART users) for dividing decimals. Starter questions practice division, followed by some examples, a quick checkpoint and a differentiated question slide for dividing decimals by whole numbers and then dividing by decimals. For added variety, I have included my Codebreaker and Silhouette activities.

Two relay activities based on angle properties including parallel lines. One of them contains exam style questions aimed at my middle ability year 8 group, the other has more problem solving style questions, mostly taken from the UKMT Challenge that is aimed at my top set year 9's. Pupils (in pairs) are given question 1 to start at the same time, and when they have successfully answered they get the next question to try. First pair to answer all 16 questions correctly wins!

Connect four game for pupils to do in pairs or groups of four (with two teams of two pupils). In my experience the activity works best when the board is laminated and pupils can use whiteboard markers. Pupils take it in turns to try and answer a question, and are peer assessed by the other team. If they get it correct they can put their initials over the space, and the goal is to get four squares in a row. The pupils could also used coloured post-its or counters. Answers are included.

Fun and engaging bingo activity on working out fractions of amounts to consolidate learning. Printable grids included for pupils to use. Questions include both unitary and non-unitary proper fractions.

A worksheet covering fractions of amounts, designed for secondary pupils. It includes a short Getting Started section with bar models to assist pupils, followed by a Fluency section to develop their skills. This then moves on to a Reasoning section with more complex worded questions and finishes with a couple of GCSE style longer questions. Answers also included.

Engaging puzzle activities on addition and subtraction that are ideal as either a consolidation for lower ability KS3-GCSE pupils or a lesson starter for higher attainers. Pupils must answer the questions and shade out the answers in the grid above. When they have finished they should see the number 103 on the addition sheet, and the number 42 on the subtraction.
