A really nice idea for getting
pupils to co-operate and communicate adaptable for any topic
with a numerical outcome. You could add the proviso
that the team only wins if you ask a random member of the
group who can justify their answer -

Plenary Ideas
Word Box
Get a small box and at the end of each lesson on a topic get
the class to suggest things that you should write on a small
piece of paper to post in the box. This could be key
vocabulary or concepts etc. Then, when you get to the end of
a topic take all the pieces of paper out of the box and use
these to guide a class discussion of key things to remember
about the topic.
Go For Five
Don’t give out your lesson objectives at the start of the
lesson! Get the pupils in the plenary to guess what your
lesson objectives and things you wanted them to learn were.
Tell them to go for five! Brilliant as an AFL tool for
finding out what they actually did learn rather than what
you wanted them to. You can be open with them and then share
your lesson objectives which can lead to interesting
discussions if they were different to what they suggested!
