MathsClass

For the last day of term, lessons may not follow a normal program, however they can still be engaging and mathematics related.

Lesson Starters is a page full of activities to start a mathematics lesson.

One I’ve used is Number Spiders, there’s even an overhead (PDF) ready to print.  Keep it in your classroom for those days when you know the start of the lesson is going to be disrupted.

Another game, this time for the most basic “technology” in the maths classroom - the calculator.

I had a chance the other day, rare, to reflect on what was happening in my classroom during class time.  I noted one of the inconsistencies in my language.
