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!

DICE THROWING SIMULATOR - tool for  demonstrating Expected  Vs Experimental outcomes

DICE THROWING SIMULATOR - tool for demonstrating Expected Vs Experimental outcomes

(3)
In this EXCEL FILE - Simulate the throwing of 1,10,100,1000,10000 or 100000 dice at a time with the click of a button. A bar graph and pie chart are updated with each click. Hopefully a useful tool for demonstrating that experimental probabilities differ from expected probability but as you increase the frequency of the experiment that they get closer to the expected. the Excel worksheet does use MACROS to make the buttons work and you may be asked to enable them. Some versions of Excel don’t allow this so it will be a case just trying it (sorry if it doesn’t work for you)

CHRISTMAS - SPOT THE DIFFERENCE - 10 PUZZLES + ANSWERS

(0)
10 CHRISTMAS themed SPOT THE DIFFERENCE PUZZLES 10 DIFFERENCES to find on each puzzle A colleague I made them for is intending to LAMINATE the print version of the puzzles so the pupils can use a dry wipe pen on them and they can be reused. The POWERPOINT could be used as a class activity where all the pupils are trying to spot the differences on a puzzle on the interactive whiteboard. All the separate elements of this resource are included as png files. All the separate puzzles are included as JPG files SOME OF THESE PUZZLES MAY BE MORE CHALLENGING THAN YOU THINK! A good exercise in observation skills?

FRACTIONS - (A )COLOUR diagram given Fraction (B) State fraction in diagram + EXTENSIVE CLIP-ART

(2)
BOTH set A and set B have 32 questions + answers Set A - Colour blank fraction diagram to show given fraction Set B - State fraction in given fraction diagram I have also included over 700 + pieces of clip-art. Images for every fraction up to 20th’s to use in your own worksheets or Powerpoint’s etc I started with the idea to make every possible variation you could have without reflection or rotational copies and it proved quite a challenge. After get to the 12th’s and making 183 diagrams and with thinking the 13th’s would have even more a just did a few variations for those up to 20th’s. I hope what I have done will be of use to some one. SETS A and B are part of a larger collection of fraction resources
