A ten page workbook on the enjoyable puzzle game of Shikaku. Simpler to master than Sudoku but with more mathematical content, Shikaku helps student develop spatial awareness. It is a useful way for students to appreciate prime numbers in a concrete setting using the ares of rectangles and squares. Square numbers can also be contextualised.

A progression of mental maths strategies for multiplication and division from a basic level to GCSE level. The strategies are grouped as ‘Change’ or ‘Split’. It invites students to change a problem, to an easier form, before splitting numbers, if necessary, to carry out a calculation. This is a useful resource for Maths teachers of all age groups to see what are the next steps for their students and also to see the range of different possible strategies available.

A pdf of a 33 slide PowerPoint showing an approach to multiplication for teenage students who have not rote learned them. It combines the Operational Principles with the area model of multiplication to empower students to apply a small number of tables to calculations (x1, x2, x3, x5 and x10). It also covers the area model of division and mental strategies for multiplication and division. It is aimed at Maths Dept CPD rather than for school students. It is pedagogical for Maths Teachers although some slides would be useful for teaching. Years of experience of training Maths teachers, research and thinking has gone into this resource. The actual Powerpoint, which is available to purchase, has animation to enable conceptual development to be brought into sharper focus.

An audit tool to use alongside the Ofsted research review of Mathematics. Maths Departments can use the tool to either audit the extent the department cover the identified features or audit how important the department views the features. It enables Maths teachers and departments to identify areas of the review they think are important to address before homing in on the research of the relevant areas. A self-evaluation tool assists to analyse and to assess the impact or use of the review.

Isometric background in 5 colours. The backgrounds are not images copied from the internet. High quality. (Dotty paper, isometric paper).

A pdf of a 42 slide PowerPoint showing an approach to additive for teenage students who have difficulties with mental maths . It employs a Linear Model for addition and subtraction. It narrows the use of manipulatives to the counting stick, multilink cubes and base 10 materials. It is designed to be used for Maths Dept CPD rather than for teaching students although some slides would be useful for teaching. Years of experience of training Maths teachers, research and thinking has gone into this resource. The actual Powerpoint is available to purchase and has animation to enable conceptual development to be brought into sharper focus. Some slides are difficult to interpret without the animation.

One of a series of PowerPoints that use a card sort activity with Wacky Races characters. The aim here is to position characters according to time clues such as “Red Max completed the race 35 minutes before the last car finished”. High quality with gifs. Please review if you put the ppt to use.

A spreadsheet that displays the multiples and factors of two or three integers. Input 2 or 3 integers and multiples are highlighted in 1-100 number squares. One square shows the multiples of the first integer. Another shows the multiples of the second integer. The third shows the multiples of both. The same is shown for factors. There are 5 sheets: a) factors of two integers (three 1-100 number grids) b) factors of three integers (seven 1-100 number grids) c) multiples of two integers (three 1-100 number grids) d) multiples of three integers (seven 1-100 number grids) e) multiples of two integers (one 1-1050 number grid) The sheets are protected so students/teachers can only type in integers in the correct cells. They can be easily unprotected to make changes. I would welcome any suggestions for improvement.

Comparing the countries of the UK, with an emphasis on Northern Ireland, this publication shows the main summary points from the 2015 PISA results regarding Science, Reading and Mathematics. It was originally published in 2017. An updated version incorporating 2018 PISA results will be published shortly.
