I have been teaching MATHEMATICS (11-16) since 1990. I have regularly been commended on my classroom displays and the quality of my resources as I feel this enriches the student experience.
As a self-taught graphic designer I now produce professional quality materials for our academy/academy chain across all departments including posters/banners and promotional materials. I am currently working on updating some older resources as well as developing new ones!

INCLUDED:
This A3 GAME BOARD
(Looks great laminated)
Play/rules involve using
SQUARE and PRIME numbers and much more
PUPILS can also record what type/colour of squares they land on and tally/graph them
I am sure there are other uses the game could be used for.
RED squares have SQUARE NUMBERS
GREEN squares have PRIME NUMBERS and have People on:child, young adult, old adult
BLUE squares have TRIANGLE NUMBERS
ORANGE squares have some ATOMIC NUMBERS
PURPLE squares have PERFECT NUMBERS
YELLOW squares have INTERNATIONAL DIRECT-DIAL CODES(country indicated by flag)
PINK have related to MISCELLANEOUS FACTS about that number (some maths some ‘fun’
**ADVANCED VERSION available as a separate DOWNLOAD
his includes:
Rules for 2 different ways to play the game
Advanced 1 - Uses a SCORE CARD so the player can check off all the numbers they have landed on.
Each of these has a particular POINTS VALUE
BONUS points are awarded in certain conditions
THE POINTS TOTAL HAS THEN TO BE WORKED OUT
Advanced 2 - Uses a set of CARDS to COLLECT
(instead of the SCORE CARD)
Each of these cards have INFORMATION about that particular number and includes maths,science and fun facts
BONUS points are awarded in certain conditions
THE POINTS TOTAL HAS THEN TO BE WORKED OUT
BY COUNTING THE NUMBER OF POINTS ON EACH CARD
ALSO INCLUDED: GAME RULES, SCORE CARD, SET OF CARDS FOR EACH NUMBER (+BONUS CARDS)
SET OF A5 mini-posters for SQUARE,TRIANGLE,PRIME and PERFECT NUMBERS + ALL INDIVIDUAL CLIP-ART**
THIS SET INCLUDES:
TO THE HOUR
Draw the hour and minute hands on the clock to match the time.
1 Worksheet, 12 Questions (Answer page included)
Write the time shown on the clock face.
1 Worksheet, 12 Questions (Answer page included)
TO THE HALF HOUR
3) Draw the hour and minute hands on the clock to match the time.
2 Worksheets, 24 Questions (Answer pages included)
Write the time shown on the clock face.
2 Worksheets, 24 Questions (Answer pages included
_______________________________________________
THE REST OF THIS COLLECTION INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING:
Altogether there are 21 sets of worksheets
Over 650 individual worksheets including some blanks.
Over 7600 questions (all with answers) to pick from
See worksheet list for amore detailed description of what is included
ALSO INCLUDED is ALL the clipart
I have made separate artwork for every
possible time (to the nearest minute) for both analogue and digital versions.
Over 3500 items you can use to make your own worksheet or use in Powerpoints etc
(I normally share my resources for free but this Full collection has taken 40+hours to put together)
This is really a use of HIGHEST COMMON FACTOR to find the DIMENSIONS and hence the VOLUME of a cuboid given the area of each face. A very good KNOWLEDGE of finding the HCF, I would say, is essential. The higher numbered worksheets are very challenging otherwise.
15 worksheets each with 6 questions 2-1 to 2-15
You could cut them into single questions to be easily stuck into books. so working out could be shown.
Each student could be given question within their ability range.
Each pupil with a different question perhaps.
Cut-up single questions could be mixed up but in a bag/envelope and used as a luck dip type situation
10 worksheets with answers (as worksheet and as a list) - Difficultly increases from 1-1 to 1-10
ONE IDEA IS to cut them out into individual questions to they could be easily stuck into books so ALL the working out could be shown. Shuffle them up and distribute at random within the difficulty range
Even more difficult if made non-calc work!
FIND AREA 72 questions, over 4 worksheets with increasing difficulty
**FIND MISSING SIDE(given area) ** 72 questions, over 4 worksheets with increasing difficulty
Follow-up worksheets for surface area of a cuboid , and volume of cuboid to be uploaded shortly
PLACE VALUE using ABACUS Diagrams.*
AND USE included 1000+ pieces of clip art TO MAKE YOUR OWN RESOURCES WORKSHEETS/POWERPOINTS
INCLUDED IS:
50 Worksheets with 20 Questions each number from diagram (+ANSWERS in two forms)
i) Answers as the worksheets look
ii) Answers as a LIST - THIS ALSO contains** TOTAL for each sheet and the MEAN, MEDIAN and RANGE** in case it is useful
50 Worksheets with 20 Questions each draw diagram from given number
EVERY NUMBER FROM 0-999 is used only once within the 50 worksheets sets
USE one for the WHOLE class OR GIVE EVERYONE A DIFFERENT Sheet - Which sometimes has its advantages
BLANK worksheets that also extend past HTU
ALL THE CLIPART for each individual number from 0-999 (so 1000 separate PDF’s)
**All the separate images I used to make each number - so a separate file for each digit 0-9
Images for bases from T,U, - H,T,U - - - - -up to - _ B,hM,tM,M,hTH,tTH,TH,H,T,U**
(Import them into you program of choice, build diagram by lining up elements, group and resize group as required)
All are VECTOR based so should resize without any loss of quality
**USE THESE TO MAKE YOUR OWN RESOURCES WORKSHEETS/POWERPOINTS **
For up to 10+ PLAYERS at a time
I have played this game with pupil of all age/abilities of the last 20 years or so and it is one that has been one of my most popular and successful resources. It really surprised me how much the pupils improved their number bond skills
I have usually played it using a normal set of playing cards and on numerous occasions had pupils say they have played it a home with their family/friends. Playing card rules differ slightly and are included.
We have also played this (just for fun) with family and friends especially on holidays.
This set has 72 cards and should be printed on card/laminated
IF YOU NEED THE CARDS TO BE SMALLER/BIGGER i have included all my clipart images
If you use/download this resource PLEASE Comment/Follow so I can keep in touch if I update it or improve it.
I have produced a Prime Factor Banner/Poster **
that can also be used along side this activity as well as a
PRIME FACTOR FINDER PROGRAM that can be used for the answers on the whiteboard*
FOR USE WITH PRIME FACTORS.
CONTENTS:
A SET OF CARDS WITH NUMBERS 2-100 Aprrox 4.5cm x 4.5 cm each
All composite (non-primes) are in square boxes
Primes are in circles
A SET OF ALL THE PRIME NUMBER (VARIOUS QUANTITIES)
A SET OF INDICES (in hexagons)
Instructions
Pick a number - students have to make that number just using the prime cards
CAN BE USED CONSTRUCTING PRIME FACTOR TREES
OR
what works well if you put all the composite (non-prime cards in a bag) and then pick one out
OR
Use like a LUCKY DIP
Walk around class and get individual pupils/tables to pick one(or more) out of the bag.
PUPILS MAKE THEIR NUMBER(S) using their PRIME Number cards
Multiplication and Power/indices cards can also be used.
I have produced a Prime Factor Banner/Poster for Prime factors
that can also be used along side this activity as well as a
PRIME FACTOR FINDER PROGRAM that can be used for the answers on the whiteboard
A program (in Adobe Flash) that displays the factors/factors pairs for all the numbers 1-100
Really useful factor related activities and for checking worksheet answers. Lots to discus with the students.
Same colour coding as my FREE Factor Banner/Poster which, at the moment, is my one of my most popular downloads.
Should work on the touch of an interactive whiteboard .
Flash should work on most computers/laptops and I have had this working through Internet Explorer.
If you are able to make a comment/follow I would be grateful as it lets me notify you if there is any changes/upgrades to it.
PLEASE COMMENT/FOLLOW so if there are any more associated uploads/upgrades I can let you know*
File include One in FULL COLOUR and one on white background at two different sizes
Also included - sticking the printed tiles together advice/instructions
BANNER Approx w 2.7m x h 0.3m POSTER Approx w 1.4m x h 0.65m
Best results printed on Laser printer (designed to tile A4 PORTRAIT or A3 Landscape Sheets)
Suggest set page over lap to 2.5 cm/1in and set crop marks
Will print all tiles from the PDF to Inkjet printer with appropriate settings
Most printers leave a white border around the edge. I printed a colour version, stuck it together and cut the white edge off (but that’s a personal preference)
Please follow/comment so that you’ll get notified of any upgrades or amendments.
I can send you a version with your school logo or department if required ,on request. (Free)
I have also included **A PRIME FACTOR FINDER PROGRAM **to use on WHITE BOARDS
I have used this with all year groups / all abilities as both a starter activity and a lesson resource when covering this topic.
It can be used by student or staff on a computer by hovering/rolling/clicking a specific number
They can come to the interactive whiteboard and touch one of the numbers to give them the prime factor/index notation for that number. It can be used to check sets of questions from worksheets or as part of a prime factor bingo game.
It needs Adobe Flash Player installed on the computer it is being used on. ( Most computers do have this)
If anyone can think of other uses please make a comment.
ALSO AVAILABLE A FACTORS POSTER/BANNER (FREE)- see my other uploads
I think this will be a very challenging but useful activity
Answers included or should that be nswrs ncldd.
A great activity at any time of the year to keep mathematical language /words in the for front of their thoughts.
perhaps try to complete it over the Christmas Holidays
It could be set as a competition -individual/small group/ table
Each pupil could be given a different set of questions.
A table could be given all 10 sheets or all the same sheet and work collaboratively
Lots of possible variations
Please lets me know how it goes.
Work through Maze
Tally each symbol
Complete table
Use clues to deduce which elf used which symbol
Reasoning will need knowledge of:
basic inequalities
prime numbers
square numbers
cube numbers
-Find 352 maths related words ( KS3 Vocab. list)
For wordsearches this is quite a challenge.
Hardly anyone has ever found all the words (even when they have taken home over an holiday period and arrived back saying it became a family activity) but a lot have said they enjoyed trying.
In class some have wanted to do it on their own, some in a small group. But it has worked best as a table activity where they work together an pool their answers.
I have also used it to just to find certain words from a small list of 10-20 that I have put on the board.
PLEASE TRY THE FREE VERSION FIRST
A fun way to learn the prime numbers less than 100
A set of 25 pixel picture puzzles
Shade the squares that have prime numbers
Identify Prime and Composite (non-prime) numbers
3 levels of difficulty
Worksheets (A5/A4) + ANSWERS + blank grids
Guidance/Instructions**
Prior Knowledge Required
Being able to identify some if not all the prime numbers less than 100
unless you use this as an activity for this purpose.
This is an activity designed to make the learning of PRIME numbers much easier and I have been surprised, in the past, how successful it has been.
Start with the PRACTICE question if needed.
For this and
ONE STAR PUZZLES the if you work through the grid,
starting in the top left hand corner and work left to right and row by row the sequence of PRIME NUMBERS <100 appear IN ORDER.
So find 2 and work through to 97
The sequence repeats (partially in some cases) up to the prime needed complete the puzzle
Get them to do this methodically - this is how they pick up the sequence ( a printed sequence for them to have alongside may scaffold the initial process).
TWO STAR - Same rules but generally a larger grid
THREE STAR - Usually a larger grid but primes not in a particular
order although some part of the prime sequence may
occur. (Find a 2 and it may be next to a 3, then a 5,
then a 7 etc etc)
I have provided some blank grids for pupils to make up their own puzzles.
Draw a picture by colouring in a small grid.
Then working with a larger grid get them to write LIGHTLY SHADE their picture onto a big grid
In each shaded square they then write a PRIME NUMBER (in sequence at first as in a one star puzzle) which gets them writing out the primes)
FILL IN THE REST OF THE GRID WITH NON-PRIME which is an equally IMPORTANT TASK
EITHER COPY THIS ONTO ANOTHER BLANK GRID or use COMPUTER and TABLE IN WORD, POWERPOINT or similar to produce a printable puzzle.
I have used ADOBE’s InDesign to make this set of puzzles
Please Comment/follow so if there are upgrades/changes you can be easily notified - Thank You
Two Versions
Number bond to 10 - addition & subtraction
Finding Primes
Both give same answer
Colour squares dependent on condition
I now have a set of 25 PRIME PIXEL PICTURES available to download - with various difficulties- worksheets and answers
PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A PART FINISHED RESOURCE - but still usable
WORKSHEETS and ANSWERS PROVIDED
PRIME NUMBERS LESS THAN 100 - Via PRIME PIXEL PICTURES (set of 25) + more NOW AVAILABLE
well a mixture of ideas to throw out there
Basically you have a grid of numbers in this case between 1-100
Pupils identify and colour/shade in the prime numbers to produce a PIXEL PICTURE
This resource is just an basic example where the primes come in order so they get to know the sequence
Others
are on bigger grids
Different colours by condition set
Prime mixed up
I have found it surprisingly successful in getting the pupils to learn their prime numbers
Also in this resource I have included a bit mash-up of various other areas of maths that could be brought in - PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK
If you download please comment/follow so if the resource is updated I will be able to notify you.
SEE MY OTHER DOMINO RELATED RESOURCES
Virtually Identical to my set of Ladybird Domino 0-0 to 10-10 resource but with Extra dominoes so that a full set of 0-0 to 12-12 would cover THE TWELVE DAYS of CHRISTMAS. So 91 Dominoes altogether.
Lots of opportunity to set differentiated tasks
IDEAS FOR USE ALSO IN PDF
You could even sing along to the domino you have or find ones that fit the song, as well as looking at all sorts of maths problems that could be weedled out of this topic.
How many birds in total?
How many men in total?
How many women in total?
Number patterns and sequences :
1 partridge on day one
1 partridge and 2 turtle doves on day 2
but thats 2 partridges and 2 turtle doves in total after 2 days …
and 5 partridges ,8 turtle doves, 9 french hens, 8 calling birds and 5 gold rings after 5 days etc etc etc
Perhaps could be used as a writing exercise in English.
OR Just use as normal dominoes
