I regularly upload resources that I have created during 30 years as a teacher. Most of these are maths, but there are some ICT/Computing and Tutor Time activities. All of the resources are my own and are not available from third-parties. The resources have been tweaked over time and I have had many happy lessons and shed-loads of happy and successful students.
At the end of 2017 the TES announced that I was the most downloaded new author and in 2018 another 2 million were added to the count.

This particular set of cards allows students to practise working out unknown angles in quadrilaterals. They will need to use quadrilateral angle facts such as ‘opposite angles in a parallelogram are equal’, as well as the sum of angles on a striaght line and around a point.
Note that the questions have been carefully selected so that they provide good coverage of this topic and so that the opportunities for students to guess answers are minimised.
Colour coding:
All my loop cards are colour-coded to indicate the approximate level of the questions:
KS2 – red and orange
KS3/GCSE Foundation – orange and green
GCSE Higher – green, blue and purple
Further information:
In this download there are four sets of similar cards and a student chooses one of the sets and sorts them into order by answering the questions. Then they try to do it faster using a different set, which has the same questions, but a different sort order 😃
My favourite use of loop cards is for two students to have different versions of the cards and race each other. They then check their answers, shuffle, swap packs and race again (quickest overall time wins). More instructions are included in the download.
Cut out card size is approx. 65 x 90 mm.

These worksheets (with solutions) help students take the first steps and then strengthen their skills and knowledge of finding unknown sides or angles using The Tangent Ratio. Questions are carefully planned so that understanding can be developed, misconceptions can be identified and so that there is progression both across and down each sheet. Interactive versions of these sheets are available at
https://www.maths4everyone.com/skills/tangent-5522.html
The interactive version allows individual questions to be selected for enlarged display onto a screen. The answer can then be worked out ‘live’ by the teacher (or student) or a single click will reveal my solution. This not only helps in class, but it is also very useful for a student who is revising at home.

A Treasure Hunt is a great activity which children love. They are ideal for revision, starters or plenaries. They are a really great way to get students to answer questions quickly and enjoy doing so.
These question cards have been prepared in two sizes. The large cards can be pinned around the classroom and used for a whole class activity; the smaller (loop cards) can be used for group work or by individuals – they are particularly helpful for one-to-one tutorials and during interventions.

This particular set of cards allows students to practise applying the rules of indices. Two types of questions are included - the standard type in which students apply the rules to find the final expression, and there are also questions which require students to work out the unknown index within an expresion.

Students and parents find this Information and Record Book very useful (it’s probably of use to teachers too).
The references I use for the topics are the same as I use for my Exam Practice Questions. Click tes.com/…/Practice Questions… to browse the list of (about 50) available topics. Note that I am regularly adding practice questions for even more of the topics.<hr>This Information and Record Book is for the Pearson (Edexcel) specification. It is designed for Higher Tier students, but the Word file is editable and contains lots of useful information for Foundation Tier students, too.<hr>The book is designed to be printed as an A5 booklet with the formulae sheet spread across the middle pages.

This is a fun interactive whiteboard game, created in PowerPoint, with triggered animations. All my students have loved this activity ('Sir, can we play the chain-game?'). It is enjoyable for both high and low ability – it not only familiarises students with the Fibonacci Sequence, but they also need to remember where the numbers are hidden!
--
I typically use this activity as a starter and then as a plenary at the end of the lesson. It gets the whole class involved – even when it's not a students turn, they are repeating the numbers in their head and they are desperate to say where the next number is!
The way that I play the game:
1. I go through the members of the sequence and ensure that the students are familiar with each of the numbers;
2. When the board is revealed, I give about 15 seconds to ‘peek’ at the uncovered board so that the students can try to learn where the first few numbers are;
3. I then call up the students one-at-a-time to try an uncover as many numbers as they can before they go wrong.
NOTES:
I encourage the students to call out the number that they are looking for because this reinforces the learning.
This activity works very well if you get two students to play against each other – either on the interactive whiteboard or on PCs.
