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 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 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 two page worksheet which focuses on finding percentage of an amount. It uses the "Percentage bubble" method where pupils have to find 50%, 25%, 10% and 1%. They can then use these facts by combining them to find any percentage up to 100%. I have used this successfully with upper KS2 children. The second sheet allows children to select their own starting number to represent 100% and then find a variety of other percentages.

This is another set of Math Mastery Challenge Cards. I have used these successfully with Year 5 and Year 6 children. They are useful for SATs revision, particularly in developing children's reasoning. There are 8 challenge cards in this set. Each card gives children a problem to solve and asks them to explain or justify their answer. These could be used as an additional challenge or as a whole lesson. I have given children the whole set and asked them to select one card. They then stick the card in their maths book and then write their solution next to it, explaining their reasoning. The children loved the activity! .

I created this presentation to introduce finding a percentage of an amount to my lower ability Year 5 maths set. I was unable to find anything else online that demonstrated clearly what exactly an percentage of a number means and that didn't over-complicate the subject. There are plenty of visual examples to show how we find a percentage of an amount. The presentation clearly links percentages to fractions. It start by demonstrating percentages on a 100 square and progresses to using different numbers. Simple animations show how a number can be split into different fractions and percentages.

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 PowerPoint which explores numbers sequences and patterns and is designed for upper KS2. It asks children to identify patterns, to find missing numbers and to continue sequences. I have found it particularly successful with Year 6 as its contains several original questions which are based on recent SATs questions. It would be useful therefore for revision leading up to End-of-Key stage tests.

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

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 set of 12 colourful Maths mastery challenge cards designed to provide Year 5 or Six pupils with opportunities to develop their reasoning skills. I give the children a set each and ask them to stick them in their books. Alongside each card, they have to workout an answer but then explain their reasoning. They can be used successfully for developing mathematical discussion.
