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 short guide for how to create a Google Survey, which I have been using for pupils to fill in their exam feedback.

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 questions with answers on: - function machines - forming and solving simple equations - simplifying expressions - substitution

A worksheet of simple maths problems aimed at 11+ year olds, which mostly involve fractions plus a bit of angles

A two page Power Point with questions revising arcs and sectors.

Two Powerpoint slides of more quadratic problems - e.g. path of a projectile, minimum area etc. Answers included.

A one page Powerpoint using 3D coordinates to introduce how to find the distance from one corner to the opposite in a cuboid.

A problem solving project where pupils use Pythagoras to find how far away the horizon is, depending on your height about sea level. This is an open-ended project, where rather than being given all the information up front the pupils have to work in groups to explore the problem, then reflect on what techniques were effective. It practices several useful skills such as Pythagoras, circle geometry, expanding brackets and rearranging formulas. There is the scope for very good pupils to extend the project in interesting directions.

Each poster has a different mathematician on it, with a picture, biography, quote and puzzle. The puzzles get harder during the week.

Four sets of practice questions. Includes: - determining if numbers are prime (and odd or square numbers) - multiples and least common multiples - factors and highest common factor Solutions included

This is a set of six puzzles presented as large scale Power Points. I used them as colour A3 posters for a monthly maths competition. These puzzles are challenging and give the scope for comprehensive answers. Full solutions included.

There are two comprehensive worksheets here practicing basic skills with decimals. Pupils can work individually going through the questions as revision. Full solutions included.

Pupils learn about money and get the chance to design their own coins. Practices simple skills with money and deicmals, and gets them thinking about currencies in general with some extension questions. This activity is inspired by the Scottish Independence Referendum of 2014.

A series of about 30 Power Points each with mixed starter activities testing basic numeracy of: - whole numbers - fractions, decimals, percentages - money - graphs - symmetry

This is a series of worksheets all about finding the area of 2D shapes (quadrilaterals and circles). - Recognising and naming 2D shapes - Knowing their properties - Knowing the formulas for their areas - Being able to calculate the areas

An introduction to time. Reading the time from clocks, then difference between two times, and finally a challenge with times in the school weak. Full solutions provided.

Practise converting words to numbers, and numbers to words. Starts easy then goes up to things like 32 809 and millions. Full solutions included.

This is an investigation to get pupils thinking about different units. The Power Point begins with an introduction, then a few questions to get pupils thinking about different units, and finishes by describing the investigation they should do, finding out more about one type of measurement and presenting their results.

A series of four worksheets to give some background algebra, do plenty of examples finding a limit, then for advanced pupils go on to find a general formula for a linear sequence. If you follow this through you will be able to instantly work out the value of the 50th term of u_n+1 = 0.4 u_n +3 (for example). The four worksheets are: - Indices (practice on this) - Algebra (rearranging formula) - Sequences (standard questions on finding limits, and graphing the results) - Investigation (putting it all together to get a general formula) All provided with full solutions.
