A group activity to practice using bearings.
Each group designs a route (choosing how many paces and how many bearings for each leg of the journey) then swaps with another group to see if they can follow the given route.
Each group will need a compass (or compass app on phone).
Two Power Point slides of lesson starters for Distance Speed Time.
The first involves reading a timetable, converting the time from hours and minutes to hours, then finding a speed (and for advanced pupils thinking about why the speed is so slow).
The second will take longer and involves converting m/s to km/h, then an extended question about a boat journey which involves a few calculations then drawing a distance-time graph.
Solutions included on the Power Points.
Pupils add fractions by shading squares. Simple at first, but gradually they build up to understanding why for example 1/2 + 1/3 = 5/6
Good for lower ability classes who benefit from a visual representation
Some not very exciting but essential practice, with increasingly difficult questions such as
- 1/4 of 24
- two thirds of 12
- increase £20 by a fifth
- find two fifths of £11
- decrease £9.99 by a tenth
A fun Power Point about Rowan Hamilton's discovery of Quaternions. There are no actual formulas given here (just a hint that it's about 4D space), the point of the presentation is just that he had a brain wave while crossing a bridge and carved it into the bridge.
Can be used with a junior class talking about 'inspiration' or a more senior class who know about complex numbers if you want to go into the actual equations of quaternions.
Tired of your usual lesson starters? These six Power Points are on
- how old are you in seconds
- using coins
- a famous question solved by Gauss
- penguins
- pandas
- temperature in the UK and US
A series of seven Power Points with collections of questions that appear one at a time on the following topics:
- adding (e.g. 20p add 50p)
- which is bigger (pictures of coins)
- count (counting coins)
- divide (quarter of 80p)
- how many coins (needed to make 13p)
- multiply (2 x 29 pence)
- subtract (£1 minus 45 pence)
A chance for pupils to put their Pythagoras knowledge to the test!
They measure a few distances indoors (e.g. their jotters) and check then check if the diagonal is the length they expected by Pythagoras. Then they go outside the classroom and measure some distances in feet (their own feet) or paces.
Two sets of worksheets with solutions on
- recognising and drawing fractions
- finding simple fractions of an amount
- simplifying fractions
- equivalent fractions
And one further worksheet with more routine practice, plus a Power Point with some simple questions
How much does a squirrel weigh? Use the scales to find out!
This is a nice way to introduce algebra equations. Each seesaw is perfectly in balance, which leads to a simple equation to find the weight of an animal. This is very intuitive and pupils will have no trouble 'seeing' the first few, then will need to start using algebra to solve the harder ones.

This is a free-standing resource on addition and subtraction of decimals
It involves additions like 1.3 + 2.8 and 1.3 - 0.34
It's taken from a Murder Mystery Package I wrote hence it includes a small riddle element at the end. There are two levels of difficulty (A is easier than B) that both have the same solution.
Full solutions included.

A series of 17 one-page handouts each with explanations, examples then questions.
Covers Numbers, Negatives, Fractions, Percentages, Algebra.
For lower ability classes I print these out and they stick them in their jotters.
The topics are:
Types of Number, Factors, Powers, Prime Factors, Negatives adding and subtracting, Negatives multiplying and dividing, Fractions of an amount, Equivalent fractions, Mixed numbers, Multiplying and Dividing fractions, Adding and subtracting fractions, Finding percentages, Fractions decimals percentages, Substitution, Multiplying Brackets, Simplifying, Solving Equations)
A collection of typical Proof By Inductions, around 100 in total. Very useful as a teacher if you are looking for examples to use. Includes all the main categories plus a few unusual ones.
They are grouped by category: Divisibility, Greater Than, Summation, Recurrence Relationships, Matrices, Calculus, Fibonacci, Miscellaneous, Geometry, Important Theorems, Extensions and Paradoxes
Includes sources for even more example proofs.
