A set of questions challenging learners to apply knowledge of coordinates, and do some algebraic thinking.

National Curriculum Maths year 6, but also essential for revision in KS3, and great for lower tiers of Foundation GCSE. 'Multiply simple pairs of proper fractions, writing the answer in its simplest form'. Guidelines say: 'Pupils should use a variety of images to support their understanding of multiplication with fractions. This follows earlier work about fractions as operators (fractions of), as numbers, and as equal parts of objects, for example as parts of a rectangle.' Clear step-by-step presentation with questions and answers built in for class discussion and question/answer session. Everything for at least one lesson and some consolidation.

Maths National Curriculum Multiplying fractions Year 5 ’multiply proper fractions and mixed numbers by whole numbers, supported by materials and diagrams’ Clear, concise and colourful presentation giving a variety of real scenarios with appropriate images and photographs to give the learners opportunities the ability to see this topic from a variety of positions. And hopefully the learners will develop alternative ways to find solutions. A PDF version is included to ensure it looks good on any screen with any computer system. Plus a worksheet of questions, and another file with the answers. Meets the criteria for Year 5, but invaluable for revision in year 6 and in Key Stages 3 and 4.

I got this idea from Jim Smith and his book 'The Lazy Teacher&'s Handbook&';. I can thoroughly recommend the book as full of ideas for teachers and learners. I took the recently published guidance from Edexcel on what the examiners expect in terms of 'why&' in geometry questions, added some images, and produced a simple slideshow to loop whilst the learners are revising questions themselves.

These have been enormously popular. I teach a number of people who are far more artistically minded than mathematical, so I produced some visual displays to illustrate equivalences. Run the PowerPoint, or print off some slides for display. I've also added a few posters by way of example of how you might use the individual slides. For classroom activity I’ve included five pages of shapes to colour for fractions etc to keep or display. Everything included in editable format, so use as many slides as appropriate for your year group, or change the shapes pages as required. All images ©2015 Colin Billett

Multiple resources to look at, and learn, equivalent fractions, from KS2 to GCSE Foundation. Colourful presentations including ‘fraction chains’, lots of authentic types of questions, and lots of activities for colouring in fractions. Everything for a wide range of abilities, right up to KS4. Year 3 - recognise and show, using diagrams, equivalent fractions with small denominators. Year 4 - recognise and show, using diagrams, families of common equivalent fractions. Year 5 - compare and order fractions whose denominators are all multiples of the same number; identify, name and write equivalent fractions of a given fraction, represented visually,. Year 6 - use common factors to simplify fractions; use common multiples to express fractions in the same denomination; compare and order fractions.

Fifteen word searches in a variety of forms - doc, pdf, and as a slideshow in PowerPoint. I've included a guide on how I intend to use them, but they are easily adaptable for a variety of purposes. Solutions included but I don&'t think the point is to find all of them.

Powepoint accompanyment to exploring a variety of concepts using tetrominoes - symmetry, tesselations, transformations. The learners explore the shapes, and discover the five tetrominoes, then explore the concepts.

A powerpoint quiz covering all the aspects of KS2 algebra, and great for revision in KS3 or older. Pupils should be taught to: • use simple formulae • generate and describe linear number sequences • express missing number problems algebraically • find pairs of numbers that satisfy an equation with two unknowns • enumerate possibilities of combinations of two variables. To find a big bundle of activities and worksheets covering the full specs in year 6, look at my resource for sale at https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/maths-ks2-algebra-full-bundle-of-resources-to-cover-the-entire-specs-great-for-ks3-revision-11254418

Key stage 2 - getting more familiar with fractions: 'compare and order unit fractions, and fractions with the same denominators' Simple stuff for young learners, or revision at later stages.

Simple worksheet of GCSE style questions.

Final batch of nine worksheets in the style of test questions, arranged by topics, covering rounding-off to units of measure. In Word if you want to cut and paste, or PDF if you want to print them as they stand. Good for revision and assessment. You will find the first two set of worksheets on TES, this is the last. Hope they prove useful.

A set of engaging activities to give the learners the concept of area. National Curriculum Year 4 mathematics. Area by counting squares, area of rectangles as arrays, and addition and subtraction of rectangles to find the area of a rectilinear shape. Statutory requirements Pupils should be taught to: • find the area of rectilinear shapes by counting squares Notes and guidance (non-statutory) They relate area to arrays and multiplication. But also great for revision in Year 5 and above. I've done this sort of thing with Foundation GCSE!

Two starter activities to introduce perimeter and area of simple rectangles and rectilinear shapes in KS2. Great for practice at any stage.

GCSE Mathematics Higher Tier new for 2017 exams. 'recognise and use the equation of a circle with centre at the origin; find the equation of a tangent to a circle at a given point' Clear introduction to circle equations on a cartesian grid using Pythagoras' theorem. Lots of opportunity for learners to draw their own using the formula, and extending to equation of radius, finding a perpendicular line, and hence finding the equation of the tangent.

GCSE Higher Tier says ‘apply systematic listing strategies, including use of the product rule for counting (i.e. if there are m ways of doing one task and for each of these, there are n ways of doing another task, then the total number of ways the two tasks can be done is m × n ways)’. A clear, colourful and carefully explained PowerPoint presentation building up the skills from simple matching problems to calculating combinations and permutations in a variety of realistic and original settings, with lots of opportunity for the learner to reflect, apply, and evaluate the problems. Also available in my shop are two differentiated worksheets of adapted exam questions from sample and real GCSE assessments. Plus a PDF version that will work on all operating systems.

Maths GCSE Ratio. Part (a) Dividing a given quantity into two parts Introduction suitable for Foundation and Higher Tier, acting as a reminder and revision of KS3 Ratio. Simply as is says - dividing into parts, with PowerPoint introduction and two sets of worksheets.

Maths GCSE Ratio. Part (b) Reducing ratios into their simplest form. Continuing with ratio, with lots of questions, also acting as a reminder and revision of KS3 Ratio. Plus plenty of genuine exam style questions. Simply as is says - simplifying ratios, with PowerPoint introduction and follow-up worksheet.
