This 80-page booklet features line designs, fun with circles, impossible pictures and nets for some very interesting solids. There are lots of ideas on how to arrange your art to form some really grand designs. Don’t just photocopy the pages to make a small model. They are there to give you ideas on how to make each shape, so expand your mind and create some really grand structures. With the pages in this book, your maths classroom is about to be transformed from a blank canvas to a visual symphony! Those teachers that remember teaching school mathematics in the 1970s and 80s will remember classroom walls full of student’s work. There were usually strings from one end of the room to the other with mathematical models and posters hanging off them. By contrast today’s maths rooms are bare and lessons are dominated by PowerPoint slides, videos and computers (when we can book them!). Despite all these new innovations there are still students who cannot use a ruler, measure or draw a straight line. There are some who do not know what to do with a compass. Because they cannot manipulate and deal with solid figures, they cannot visualize what they look like if viewed at different angles. The same number of students are failing and passing but what is evident is that mathematics is not as fun as it was before. It has become a mechanical process of passing tests and accumulating grades for a final report at the end of each year. This book is a result of me dusting off my old teaching notes. By the end of the year your classroom can be a visual symphony. You can have posters of mathematical images on the walls, giant platonic solids hanging from the ceiling. Students should be able to spell words like icosahedron and decahedron. They should have researched about them and done a presentation to the class. They should know why they are important to mathematicians. The following pages provide a rich selection of activities for your students. Don’t just copy the sheets and hand them all the same activity. If doing a session on line designs make sure that you give out 3 or 4 different designs. Combine them all on the wall to make a mural. Now it’s time to challenge your other classes to make their mural more interesting and visual. There are many nets to try from simple cubes to more time-consuming structures. Copy them onto larger pieces of card. Each one has a possible story and background to research. Before you know it your class will be drawing chalk diagrams in the middle of the playground and all the other teachers and students will look on in envy. Your students will talk about maths in their other classes and they will remember your classes for years to come. I hope you and your students enjoy using these pages and that they stimulate a wealth of ideas for future lessons.

This resource contains sample pages from the actual 50 Fun Science Activities resource booklet that you can purchase from the TES site.

These sheets contain 3 end-of-term or last period, end-of-week activities. They are also something visible for the students to take home and all are a lot of fun. I Know Your Number This is just a little fun activity that students cut out and show to their friends and family. The template can be photocopied onto normal paper or card. There is some mathematics involved with the placement of the numbers in the master card and the way the templates are designed, but overall it is best to leave that up to the better students to investigate and further develop in their own time. Five Card Addition Although it only contains level 2 addition, with this exercise students have a lot of fun and will not realise the number of additions that they are actually performing. If they take the cards home and play the trick 10 times they are potentially completing 10 additions. Compare that with giving them 10 arithmetic sums for homework. How many would actually do these when they went home? The exercise is also a good introduction to BEMA (order of operations). The Mind Reader Like the previous exercise this is a lot of fun for students but they are actually completing a lot of good addition for totals between 1 and 63. For example if the number 63 was chosen, the mind reader would have to add 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32. Therefore they should be practising some good numeracy strategies in each of the additions such as making 10s and adding in parts.

There are 48 pages of worksheets in this pack. These sheets have been used at Year 11 but also for advanced Year 9 and 10 classes. All the relevant Algebra needed for Year 11 exams.

This is a 60-page book with teacher notes and student handouts guides students through a number of simulation exercises to show that sometimes in real life, situations don’t always come out the way we expect. As well as the teacher notes and student worksheets there is also an explanation on how to use the RND# function on a calculator and how to use Excel for simulations. Can we predict male/female compositions in different family sizes? How many winning streaks can you expect when playing against a person of equal ability? How many packets of tea do you need to purchase in order to collect a full set of 6 jigsaw pieces? What floor will people get off when setting out in an elevator? Do lie detectors really work? What is the Monty Hall dilemma? Do we need to worry about radioactive decay? What are the chances of having the same birth date as another person in the same room? How fast can an infectious disease like the flu spread? Can we predict lambing rates on a farm? What are the chances of not getting on the plane on your next flight? To find out the answer to any or all of these, download Simulations Chance and Data.

This 208-page resource is designed to help support the teacher with lots of supplementary or homework pages. All the strands of the maths curriculum are covered to provide extra work to both reinforce or extend the normal maths lesson. This means students can extend, maintain or get a head start on future topics being taught. There are pages on Number, Measurement, Geometry, Algebra and Statistics. All the pages were originally hand drawn. This immediately makes them different to all the existing computer-generated pages that students are used to.

After 42 years of teaching I was asked to put together a collection of my best resources - pages that were guaranteed to keep students engaged and learning. This collection contains 158 pages of puzzles and equations to solve, expressions to expand and simplify and quick questions to answer. The sheets are bundled into 4 page sections which is ideal for 1 hour, 4 pages a day. Each of the 4 pages contain a variety of work from basic fractions, decimals and integers but as they progress these move more to applications taken from such things as cafe menus, bank interest rates, tax and insurance tables, engineering and other work related measurements and calculations. . What are the prices, what is the interest, what are the taxes paid, what is the insurance premium? All the strands are covered with number, algebra, geometry, measurement and statistics. There are interesting nomograms and solids to cut out, design and make, puzzles to solve, pictures to finish, patterns and measurements to make. A good rule I learned in teaching was to keep children busy. That only happened when you kept the work interesting and relevant. As a result I usually stuck to a formula, a series of quick questions that touched on past work. That got them settled. Then there was work around new concepts and finally an interesting puzzle or side project that helped them finish and want to come back tomorrow for more. All these pages have been used successfully in class. They work!

After 42 years of teaching I was asked to put together a collection of my very best resources - pages that were guaranteed to keep students engaged and learning.

Numeracy Power Learning is an updated 32-page workbook that covers addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in an interesting, innovative and engaging style. This comprehensive learning booklet can be used in Year 7 through to Year 9. Students become more aware of numbers, how they are related as well as little tricks to help make learning more interesting and fun. Can you quickly multiply by 10 or by 11? That is easy, but just as easy are multiplying 15 x 13, or 103 x 106 in your head. Similarly, students will be able to divide 48/91 or 29/143 in their heads after only a few minutes. Among all these fascinating tricks and tips are: addition pyramids, number hunts, methods of multiplication, beautiful numbers, adding over the tens, adding in parts, number bonds, partitioning, Fibonacci minutes, division tips, the twenty four challenge, four fours and consecutive number addition. Warning, this is not your old traditional school arithmetic book. Rather than spending long periods of time on one specific concept, each page contains 4 or 5 different tasks and approaches. This helps keep students inspired, engaged and active. They can learn how to divide by 91 in a few minutes, but they then move on to another activity. They will still revisit each concept in later pages. This helps cement the learning into their minds. The pages can be used for homework, during class time or for end-of-task reward activity. You can be confident that this comprehensive unit of work covers all the fundamentals needed to learn about arithmetic and numbers. However it offers much more. Your students will be challenged but will be eager to improve and complete each page.
