This is a two page worksheet which focuses on translating shapes in four quadrants. The first side requires pupils to translate a variety of 2D shapes, through a given translation. The also have to list the coordinates of the translated shape and name the shape. The second side asks children to draw their own shape and translate it, naming the translation. It is aimed at upper KS2 or lower KS3 and would be particularly useful for Year 6 SATs revision as it is based on Y6 objectives. This resource was used as part of an observed lesson rated outstanding. There is an accompanying PowerPoint listed separately.

This is a comprehensive PowerPoint which focuses on aspects of angle reasoning. It starts with revising the basics. Degrees in a right angle, straight line angle, and around a point. it goes on to look at more complex angle reasoning, including corresponding and alternate angles. It has 27 slides with plenty of examples of each type of angle. It could easily be amended depending on the level of complexity you require. Suitable for upper KS2 or lower KS3. The PowerPoint was used as part of a lesson graded "outstanding"

This is a clear and informative Powerpoint which explains and demonstrates transformation of 2D shapes on a coordinate grid in four quadrants. I created it for my Year 6 Maths class. The shapes move across the grid when they are translated There are 12 slides each with examples. There is also a SATs type question as a plenary

This is a set of 10 worksheets or "Daily check-ups" in pdf format. Each consists of 5 questions. The first four questions have been designed to reinforce fluency in the numbers skills required for end-of-Key-Stage tests for Year 6. The fifth question represents a longer "mathematical reasoning" SATs style question. I use these worksheets as a starter activity in daily maths lesson in the run up to SATs. They could equally be used for homework tasks. Topics covered include place value, negative numbers, BODMAS, fractions, number sequences, percentages various calculations and inverse operations. Thank you for your interest. I hope you find them useful.

Here is a topical maths investigation ready for Children in Need Day. The task is to colour each Pudsey`s hat, shirt, shorts and boots using four different colours. Children then have to investigate how many unique ways of colouring Pudsey there are. Each time, only the same four colours must be used Encourage the children to work systematically rather than colouring randomly. Some tables are included to help children organise their work.

This is a two page worksheet in Word format. It focuses on number patterns and sequences. The children are given several number sequences and have to identify the rule of each sequence as well as giving the next two terms. There are also several SAT's style questions for reinforcement. This would be ideal for Year six pupils as part of a unit on algebra or as preparation for end-of-Key Stage tests.

This is two page worksheet which looks at reflective symmetry. The first sections asks children to reflect 2D shapes in the "x" axis and also the "y" axis. They then have to draw their own shape before carrying out a reflection. The reflections are performed on a coordinate grid in four quadrants. On the second page, children are given a variety of 2D shapes. and asked to use a mirror to identify and draw lines of symmetry. This would be useful as part of preparation for SATs or more generally for upper KS2 work on translations.

This is Powerpoint presentation which is designed to show how bar modelling can be used to solve mathematical problems. It has been used successfully in upper KS2 and lower KS3. I have also used it in an INSET in order to develop a pictorial approach to mathematical problem solving and the bar model method in particular

This is a PowerPoint presentation which focuses on reading and interpreting line graphs. Several examples of questions are given. Pupils are shown through animations how to read information from a line graph. They are also shown how to interpret reading on a scale and to work out the range between two values. This presentation has been designed in particular for Year 6 pupils and would be ideal for SATs revision. However, it would be appropriate for pupils in upper KS2 or lower KS3.

This is a resource we use every day in our maths lessons. It is a editable template which can be linked to the schools calculation policy. Children are given four calculation questions at the start of the lesson. These can obviously vary. It could be four of the same type of calculation or four different. There is also a Countdown-type puzzle to finish. We have found these invaluable for raising standards of arithmetic. It is supplied in Powerpoint format to be readily editable. Thank you for your interest in my maths resources. I hope you find them useful.

This is a three page resource with different activities relating to percentages. The first reinforces the concept of percentages and asks pupils to look at coloured dots on a hundred square and identify the percentage of each colour. The rest of the activities focus on the concept of increasing and decreasing quantities. Coloured cubes are used and pupils are asked to increase and decrease them by given percentages and work out the totals. Children could be given coloured cubes to help them visualise the percentages. Thank you for your interest in my maths resources. I hope you find them useful.

There are two worksheets here which ask the pupils to firstly draw and then interpret line graphs. In both cases, data is given in the form of a table. The first worksheet gives pupils a template with axes drawn, and space for labels for each axis. The second worksheet asks pupils to draw their own without scaffolding. Pupils are asked to use their line graphs to devise their own questions to share with a friend. The resource is supplied in both pdf and Publisher format for easy editing and customization. Thank you for your interest in my resources. I hope you find them useful.

There are two worksheets here which ask the pupils to firstly draw and then interpret pie charts. In both cases, data is given in the form of a table relating to sales of ice creams. The first worksheet gives pupils sets of data and asks them to construct their own pie charts. The second worksheet asks pupils to invent their own ice cream flavours and to construct pie charts based on this data. The resource is supplied in both pdf and Publisher format for easy editing and customization. Thank you for your interest in my resources. I hope you find them useful.

This is a PowerPoint presentation about the 12 and 24 hour clocks. It starts by showing examples of when the 24 clock might typically be used. Examples include radio alarm clock and airport departure boards. The presentation then shows various common events during the day such as the start of school or lunch time. The time is clearly displayed on a large analogue clock face. Both digital and analogue times are shown.

This is a PowerPoint presentation which focuses on the relationship between area and perimeter of 2D shapes. Firstly some rectangles are shown and pupils have to work out the area and perimeters of each. The presentation then progresses to looking at irregular shapes and examining the largest and smallest possible perimeters for a given area. The presentation finishes by posing the pupils two challenges which require squared paper. Namely for firstly rectangular and then irregular shapes, can they different shapes of a specified area and then investigate the largest and smallest possible perimeter for each. Thank you for your interest in my maths resources. I do hope you find them useful.

This is a PowerPoint presentation which explains how to multiply a fraction by a whole number. It is very visual and contains pictorial representations of the process involved. The presentation lead on to the short rule for calculating the answer and invites children to discuss why this rule works. Thank you for your interest in my resources This would be ideal for upper KS2.

This is a set of four activity sheets designed to familairise pupils visually with the concept of percentage meaning “out of 100”. The first sheet asks children to colour different percentages of a 100 grid and identify the percentage uncoloured. The next three sheets presents children with various sized grids and asks them to colour different percentages of that grid. The percentages represented are 50%, 25% and 10%. They then have to write a percentage fact to represent each colored grid. The activity sheets are in pdf format and also Microsoft Publisher to allow for easy formating and customisation. Thank you for your interest in my resources. I do hope you find them useful.

This is a really easy method for adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators. After years of teaching a more traditional method, I recently discovered this “Crossbow” method. My Year Six children love it and find it really easy. This is a very visual presentation which comprises of several slides demonstrating clearly and concisely this step by step method for both addition and subtraction of fractions. Thank you for your interest in my maths resources. I do hope you find them useful.

Here’s a great game for developing mental maths skills. Children have to roll three dice. They use the numbers they roll to make as many totals as possible. For example, suppose they roll 1, 3, 5, they could then make these totals 3 x 5 + 1 = 16 5 — 1 — 3 = 1 13 x 5 = 65 3 + (1 x 5) = 8 They can use any operation sign ( + - x ÷ ) and also brackets to show the order of operation. As they make a number, they colour it on the grid. Eventually they will not be able to make any more numbers. At this point, roll the dice again and use a different colour. The challenge is to complete the grid, making every number whilst using as few colours and as few rolls of the dice as possible. Is it possible to complete the whole grid? Which numbers were hardest? Were any numbers impossible to make? Ideal for upper KS2 or lower KS3

Heres a useful sheet for revising order of operations. It gives many examples of different calculations which require knowledge of the order of operations. There is also an addition open ended challenge for more able learners.
