Percentages Game Board

(0)
Students create their own percentage questions at grades B and C with bonus questions being made at grade A. Students create as opposed to answer ensuring they develop a generality as to the question types and can better identify the processes required.

Calculating the Interior Angles of a Polygon (Including Extension Problems)

(1)
A selection of problems around interior angles for students to solve. Follows on from the investigation into how side lengths link to angle sums. Leads into exterior angles and other problems. EDIT: The first 4 slides for part of an Always, sometimes, never questioning session that I haven't obviously highlighted. I am fully aware that trapezium's don't have right angles. The task is designed to illicit misconceptions! Apologies for forgetting to signpost!

Here is a little bit of a crib sheet with lots of useful ideas. I've been reading 101 Classroom Games, written from a PE perspective and been looking at how to use it in a maths context. The problem being the context in which answers are given etc. Well worth a read but here is a selection of some of the ideas it has inspired and a crib sheet to keep them in mind and begin using them.
Volume and Surface Area Relay

Volume and Surface Area Relay

(0)
Relay for volume and surface area. Students apply the formulae provided on the exam paper to the full range of 3D shapes. They also have an opportunity to consider surface area.

Hexagons; promote discussion, learning links

(0)
These hexagons promote the discussion over length, area and volume for B to A* candidates. The idea comes from a English observation mentioned on the website linked and has been put into a mathematical context. Place like dominos explaining the decision for the tiles placement in its given location thus revealing the deeper understanding of the student.
School Canteen

School Canteen

(1)
Students run a school canteen. 1. They select 2 recipes to produce in their canteen. 2. They survey the class for demand for each dish using a tally chart. 3. They calculate the quantities required for each it recipe item in grams. 4. They round and convert into whole kg units to then cst each item. 5. They calculate profit by calculating total revenue and total cost. This activity worked well just before Easter as a competitive challeneg completed in pairs with a middle attaining year 7 group.
