I taught in a range of schools for many years before moving into FE, where I found creative and imaginative approaches just as rewarding with adults. Most of my resources are concerned with giving control to the learner, through a range of methods. Some are great for just giving them experience of examination questions, and the chance to discuss these with other learners. I now concentrate on spreading the range of creations from UK KS1 to KS4, and across the Common Standards.

A straightforward presentation that provides images, formulas, and then tables to be completed with answers. Covers the subject matter of Functional Skills level two, but the questions on the exams may well be more complex. And useful at almost any stage in the curriculum, for recap, review, just a bit of practise.

Clear presentation with lots of opportunities to engage the learners, and questions for the class to try. 40+ slides that take the learners from simple problems to seeing why we do what we do when we divide fraction by fractions. Dividing by unit fractions in this presentation. Dividing by non-unit fractions, and mixed numbers, to come later. Great for first introduction in KS3, or revision in KS4.

Fifty slides in a PowerPoint for class discussion of equivalent fractions leading to simple addition of fractions. Nothing complicated - made for class activity and discussion. Get the learners to answer on mini-whiteboards or simply answering each question. Fully illustrated, with answer pictures for each question, as well as repeat slides for the learners to come up with answers. And designed for working in the head of the learner rather than pencil and paper. (Too much time is often spent with pencils and not enough talking.)
