40 Exciting and Colourful Powerpoint Mental Starters to Develop Numeracy Skills. 10 powerpoints each for Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division. Each presentation contains 20 questions (A screenshot of each powerpoint presentation is show below), with the answer appearing after each question, so pupils can be encouraged to give answers in a range of ways, such as whiteboards. These are suitable for pupils of varying ages and abilities, and more time can be given to younger or less able pupils to answer each question. This is a zipped file, but I’ve also uploaded four of the powerpoints separately so that the preview shows some content. The cover image also give an idea of the screens in the powerpoints. Please note that the font used in the actual powerpoints is calibri (which isn’t showing correctly in the preview images).

Christmas Maths Escape Room: Escape from Exmas Manor KS3 Your students will love this Escape Room activity in which they solve a series of maths problems. Brand New for 2019, and I’ve reduced the original price from £4.50 to £3.00 to make this even more affordable. The activity is designed for KS3 students. There are 6 problems, each in a different “room” of “Exmas Manor”. Students must solve each one before they move on to the next. Access to the next problem is by inputting the “Escape Code” in the Powerpoint Show which leads them through the activity. The skills required to solve the problems are: Room 1: Areas of circles. Room 2: Solving pictorial equations. Room 3: Percentages of amounts (prices). Room 4: Finding mean average. Room 5: Using mathematical rules. Room 6: Area of triangles and making a tetrahedron. You are provided with the Powerpoint Slideshow for students, a teachers powerpoint with answers, and a PDF which pupils can use to record their answers. This also includes answers for teachers, plus the net required for room 6.
