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 on factors, multiples, highest common factors and lowest common multiples. Contains a range of different activities many of which are differentiated by task. Also included are 2 different tarsia which are also differentiated at green and orange levels. Have fun!

Pupils to work in a pair draw noughts and crosses grid, but before they can put a nought or cross in the box they must answer to question in the grid. Found it to a great plenary to test pupils knowledge on pythagoras' theorem.

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.

A collection of 6 linear foundation catchphrase puzzles looking at a range of key topics including algebra, shape and space, number and some data. Great way to make revision a little bit different!

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.

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.

An activity for pupils to play in pairs based on blooms or a way to provide differentiated questioning to pupils. 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

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.

A collection of 10 problems complete with solutions which I used with some high ability Y9 pupils. Good lesson starter. It gave them all something to think about and work on in small groups.

Here is a task I made for my class studying GCSE statistics group but also used with my higher group. Pupils are required to complete a number of tasks to decide who should replace santa; buddy the elf or Fred Claus. Requires pupils to construct a table of data, cumulative frequency diagram, read information from it, then construct a box blot (box and whisker) and interpret the results. I prints the pages from the IWB and used them as worksheets! Enjoy Christmas Maths!

An activitiy which can be used a way of providing differentiated questions in class. Pupils to pick 3 questions from the noughts and crosses grid to answer must form a line of 3. Can be used for pupils to answer 3 as an individual or play as a game of noughts and crossses between a pair. Percentages.

Here is an activity I used to consolidate finding areas of circles 'Usain's Insane Circle Race'. Pupils answer questions to move their runner down the track. My pupils loved it! Feel free to switch the picture of me.

An activitiy which can be used a way of providing differentiated questions in class. Pupils to pick 3 questions from the noughts and crosses grid to answer must form a line of 3. Can be used for pupils to answer 3 as an individual or play as a game of noughts and crossses between a pair. Calculating proportion and best value.

Here is a catchphrase covering so key elements of the 3D shape topics including naming 3D shapes, vertices, edges and faces. A nice way to consolidate the topic. Click the squares to reveal the catchphrase.

A set of probabilty treasure hunt cards. Pupils to answer a question then line it up with the next question.

Split the class in half the teams take it in turns answering questions from their side of the board. The first team to find the 5 ships hidden under their squares wins. This one is basic mental division facts ideal for KS2 and low attaining KS3 class, mainly single digit divisions.

Here is a set of blank top trump cards on pop stars on pop stars along with a rating sheet. Pupils had to complete the rating sheet ranking each star out of 20 on various categories then design questions on the cards which had the same answer as the rating. Swapping card sets with another group at the end to play each others games. I used them for BIDMAS/BODMAS but they could also be used for anything such as percentages, fractions, rounding or basic number.
