Some teachers prefer to carry on teaching the scheme of work right up until the end of term. I do this with year 11, or classes who don't deserve a bit of fun. With other classes, for the last one or two lessons before Christmas and around other celebrated holidays, I like to have a theme based activity.
I have put together a collection of seasonal and themed activities I have created and used over the years. Christmas Maths Quiz
A load of Christmas themed questions. Aimed at level 4-5. A mixture of topics, ideal for revision. Level 5 to 6 Maths Christmas Quiz I made this for my year 8 class. The topics are those we have covered this term. Year 9 Christmas Quiz Year 12 Core 1 Christmas Quiz A Christmas quiz for year 12. There is round of Core 1 Questions, a round of senior maths challenge questions and a problem solving round. Santa's Reindeer Puzzle A great puzzle to test knowledge of types of numbers. This isn't my resource but I use it every Christmas. Wrapping a Christmas Present Video |
Easter
Easter Egg Challenge This was created by a wonderful friend of mine. Get students to create the net of a box for a Cadburys cream egg. It must hold the egg and be made from the smallest amount of card possible. Helps students understand nets, volume and surface area. |
