Instead of simply asking pupils to "work out" the answer to a problem, try rephrasing the command to a more interesting alternative. Instead of "calculate the following"...​"Which of these have the same answer?"​ Instead of "complete the addition pyramid"​..."how many ways can you make the top brick equal to 20"?​ Instead of "calculate the perimeter"...​"Which piece of string is the longest?"​

A slight change of wording is a quick win to ask more engaging questions.

I made some guided revision grids for my Year 8s to revise for their summer exam while I was out on a trip. They seemed to go down well, so I might make some more for them! They could be of use in the run up to exams...
