Simple activity for KS2/3 where pupils have to match the pie chart to the description of an animal.

Nice lesson on plotting co-ordinates takes pupils through from the basics. It includes 1 quadrant and all 4 quadrants. There are a couple of really nice activities such as the one where you hide co-ordinates around the room and pupils have to find them to crack the code. Also, there is a bingo towards the end based on Christmas presents and co-ordinates.

A lesson on calculating the area and circumference of a circle. Includes examples, questions and a nice sorting activity at the end. Could be used for foundation or higher GCSE.

Contains a range of missing angle questions from simple ones on a line to harder one involving parallel lines.

A full lesson looking at some key properties and vocabulary of 3 shapes. It contains a link to a geogebra file.

Here a lesson designed for lower attaining key stage 3 student as an introduction to simplifying algebraic activities. Contains a range of different activities.

Each set of problems contains 3 maths problems which I have pulled together from a number of books and websites. Problem 1 is easy, problem 2 is medium and problem 3 is hard. We printed them big on A3 coloured green, orange and red to make a display with pupils submitting their solutions. puzzles, problem solving,

A full lesson on substitution. Depending on the class you may want to use all of it or just a couple of slides. It starts by looking at the very basics (front bit is quite slow you may want to chop it down a bit), before having some differentiated questions for the pupils to work through before moving to a catchphrase puzzle. :-)

An activity for pupils to play in pairs based on blooms. Just as in normal noughts and crosses pupils need to make a line of 3, but instead of nought and crosses they must write their answer in a noughts and crosses grid. As an extension for those who finish I get them to work as a pair to complete the rest of the grid.

Here is a lesson I designed on constructing triangles using a protractor. It includes all the basics with some simple questions to do. There is a really nice slide towards the end where pupils have to construct a picture of a boat!

Break the class in half and each team take it in term to answer questions and gather points by answering a question square then clicking on it. Covers proportion including the unitary method.

A percentage puzzle I produced where pupils need to answer the questions on the cards then arrange them from small to big. The letters form a riddle for the pupils to solve. I had the pupils work in groups for 4, it is a good consolidation activity or a starter before looking at another percentage topic. The solution to the riddle is 'age'.

Here is an activity to help consolidate expanding brackets. Cut out the tiles on the second sheet which contain the answers. Pupils need to match these tiles with the corresponding question on the grid on the first sheet. There are some easier and some harder questions, I got them to work on it in groups of 3 at the end of a lesson on expanding brackets to consolidate their learning.

GCSE worksheet. Solve the equations to crack the code.

A KS3 sheet full of quick fire questions. Pupils work in pairs to answer the questions give 1 to 2 minutes depending on the group. They must answer one question then pass to partner to answer one question and so on. Great way to motivate pupils with revision.

This is a short game I made for pupils to look at which looks at the very basics of bank balance. Pupils move there way around the board either collecting money or spending it and have to update their balance sheet to match it. Also a nice way to introduce the concept of debt and negative numbers.

Here is a lesson on converting between different metric units. It has a variety of different activities for practicing similar skills including differentiated questions. Feel fee to use all of its or pick individual slides to use :-)

A lesson I designed on calculating the circumference of a cricle. Based around the London eye and how far you travel. Pupils are trying to calculate pi by measuring circular objects. It also has a nice differentiated problem solving task at the end where pupils are required to apply knowledge. A slide on what do we need to know where pupils need to brainstorm what things they need to answer the question before they are giving any information.

Here is a problem solving lesson all about the volume of spheres and cylinders! You will need a pack of meatballs a jar of pasta sauce and a pan for the pupils to use and measure. I have included teacher hints on the slides which will need deleting out before you can use it. I wish I could claim it was all my idea but I stumbled across it on Dan Meyer's blog and developed the idea into something that I could use in my classroom.
