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.

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.

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.

Here is a basic lesson on calculating means from a table. It starts by recapping averages then moves on to mean from a table. I have done it the opposite way round to usual looking at estimated means first then finishing by asking them to look at a mean from a frequency table.

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.

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.

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 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.

This is a lesson I made on sample spaces. It is quite class specific so you may need to do a lot of adapting to the middle section to make it fit to your class. Nice question at the end though where I got pupils to work in pairs to justify their answers.

Here is a full lesson on converting fractions to percentages. However the task at the end is the interesting bit! Pupils need to bounce a ping pong ball into a cup, you give pupil a card telling them how many times to repeat the experiment (10, 20 or 25 times). We then compare the results to see who is the best hopefully they will realise its hard to compare results when we've done different numbers of time. So they will need to convert their answers to percentages!

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.

An interesting lesson based around pupils trying to estimate lengths. Nice starter based on estimating some strange lengths with multiple choice answers. At the end there is a task where pupils have to work in small groups to create strips of certain lengths.

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 lesson I designed on calculating the circumference of a cricle. Based around the wprlds biggest pizza. A section in middle where pupils try and come up with the formula by cutting up circles, printable sheet on last slide. 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.

A top quality lesson on finding the volume of a prism! The lesson contains a variety of different activities including a bingo game, a connect 4, a differentiated worksheet and a whole class game. All solutions are included along with all printable resources and a learning plan. As always an unrivalled quality of IWB with teacher hints included (these need deleting before you use it) that should allow you to make the most of this lesson. Hope you and your pupils enjoy the lesson.

Here is a full lesson on calculating a percentage increase and decrease using the multiplier method. It recaps converting between decimals and percentages, it looks at using the multiplier method to find a percentage before moving onto percentage increases and decrease using the multiplier method. It contains examples, questions, a true or false activity, a differentiated worksheet, a plenary and all solutions are included on the slides. Hope it helps and I hope you enjoy teaching it!

Here is a full lesson on calculating the areas of compound shapes made from rectangles. The lesson contains examples, spot the error task, a differentiated worksheet. All answers included on the slides. Hope it helps and have fun teaching!

This is a complete lesson on calculating the area of compound shapes. It is a great introduction to compound area starting by looking at counting squares before moving onto rectangles and triangles before then compound areas. It also contains a nice thoughts and crosses activity on area and a fantastic functional problem.
