What Ben builds

Your teaching plan for the period, start to finish.

Use it when you want a ready walkthrough of how a period could flow.

Inside: the period objective, the arc of the period (how it opens, builds, and lands), the misconceptions to watch for, and the differentiation moves for students who need support or a stretch.

Slides that teach a concept, built for the front of the room.

Use it when you're explaining something new and want projectable slides that carry the idea.

Inside: a sequence of slides - comparisons side by side, processes as numbered steps, key definitions, and worked examples - with speaker notes for you.

A model solution, worked step by step.

Use it when you want to show how to reach an answer, not just the answer.

Inside: the problem, the working laid out stage by stage, and the final answer - the version a student copies down.

A single-page map of everything in a topic.

Use it as a revision anchor or a reference students keep.

Inside: the key terms, facts, and connections for a topic, organised on one page so the whole thing can be seen at once.

Quick-recall cards, one idea per card.

Use them for revision, starters, or a fast check of the essentials.

Inside: a set of cards, each with a prompt on one side and the answer on the other - usable as a printout or tap-to-flip cards on screen.

A short 'remember last time' warm-up.

Use it in the first few minutes to bring back prior learning before you build on it.

Inside: a handful of quick questions pulling from earlier periods, with answers.

One well-chosen question that reveals if the class can move on.

Use it at a pivot point to decide whether to push ahead or reteach.

Inside: a single diagnostic question whose wrong answers each point to a specific misconception, so the response tells you what to fix.

A hands-on or interactive task to make a concept stick.

Use it when you want students doing something rather than listening.

Inside: an activity - a game, a challenge, a group task - built around the period's objective, with what you need to run it.

A quiz built to your board's exam pattern.

Use it for practice or assessment that mirrors how the real exam is weighted.

Inside: questions across the mark-types your board uses (one-mark to long-answer), in the right proportions, each with a mark scheme.

A one-minute check as students leave.

Use it at the end of a period to see who got it and who didn't, before the next period.

Inside: a couple of targeted questions on the day's objective, with the answers you're looking for.

Practice to do after the period.

Use it to consolidate the day's learning at home.

Inside: a set of questions matched to the period objective, with answers for marking.
