This is a challenge (for staff too) . The versions for Maths, Science, KS3 Vocab. list, and Quotes from ‘**A Christmas Carol’ ** have proved surprisingly engaging and useful in learning words/terms/spellings (as I hoped they would) I would welcome any feedback or thoughts.

Use to improve students identification of FORMULA associated with 2d and 3d solid shapes This resource is best used on an interactive whiteboard. You will need Adobe Flash Player on your computer (most have it installed as standard) The activity is to Drag a shape into it’s appropriate position. If it is correct it snaps into place. If it’s incorrect it will return to the top. If you click the ? next to each box it gives info about that shape (click the ? again to make it close before proceeding) I have other resources similar to this for 2d and 3d (solid) shapes

I have used this with all year groups / all abilities as both a starter activity and a lesson resource when covering this topic. It can be used by student or staff on a computer by hovering/rolling/clicking a specific number They can come to the interactive whiteboard and touch one of the numbers to give them the prime factor/index notation for that number. It can be used to check sets of questions from worksheets or as part of a prime factor bingo game. It needs Adobe Flash Player installed on the computer it is being used on. ( Most computers do have this) If anyone can think of other uses please make a comment. *** Apologies to the first few people who downloaded this resource as I mistakenly uploaded the incorrect version- should be OK now) There was a problem with 34 and 78

Use mathematical skills including LOGIC and REASONING to complete the 4X4 magic squares with the given numbers. 15 questions over 5 worksheets. On each worksheet 1-5 covers the last 15 Kings and Queens. All the magic squares are set out in the same format which students should be encouraged to find this pattern. The first box on the top row is the day so can only be between 1-31 The second box is a month so can only be between 1-12 The third is the century so can only be 16,17,18 or 19 (QE II is the only one born in the 20th century so is 19) etc etc On each worksheeet the King or Queen is and earlier date as you go down the questions.

12 TRIPLICATE WORKSHEETS (one for each pentomino shape) These fit the 15mmx15mm squares from my PENTOMINOES - STARTER KIT that is also free to download) A set of small grids to use as needed, such as collating results. Can be done individually to make a display OR Small groups could be given a different pentomino shape and asked to work together to find as many solutions as they can in a given time. OR A whole class activity working on ONE shape and collectively finding as many different solutions as they can. eg Copy a solution on to one of the small grids and have an area where these can be pinned/stuck so the students would be able to check for duplicates etc INDIVIDUAL PNG’s and PDF’s of each BLANK TRIPLICATE for use on Powerpoint/Notebook slides etc There are over 1000 solutions to the entire set so it would be unrealistic to include them.

IT also converts given number to the VIGESIMAL (base 20) system i.e. 0=0, 1=1, 2=2, …, 9=9, 10= A, 11=B, … , 19=J. Using different number bases is alway a great lesson to get the students to think about place value and how that works. It is also an excellent way to practice multiplication, division, addition and subtraction as well as some logical thinking. It is also me looking back to the day when you had to do calculate in £, /- , d. and st, lb and oz etc. A PROBABLE USE IS TO GIVE THE STUDENTS A NUMBER TO CONVERT and USE THIS TO CHECK ANSWERS OR USE IT AS A Q&A session/lesson on Converting backwards and forwards between different bases. I have other MAYAN resources including information/worksheets sheets. It should work on any computer as it doesn’t have any macros etc but I made it on EXCEL for the MAC. I think it is best when the screen is zoomed in so that you can only see the main area surrounded by the brown box.

A SURPRISING TRICKY PUZZLE FOR STUDENTS TO BUILD. Definitely useful for construction skills as well as logical thinking. SOLUTION INCLUDED as well as a 3D view of a completed dice(the puzzle is still not easy if you show them this, on say, a SLIDE. Print a set of the nine different cuboid nets. Construct cuboids Use the constructed cuboids to to construct the dice. The usual rules apply i.e. opposite sides add up to 7, so 6 opposite 1 etc There are 8 variations of dice colour/spot colour. The red /yellow one is ready to print but to save ink just use the white with black spots version or perhaps the outline version and they could colour in the spots with one of theie choice. Another step to a solution would be to use the set of completely blank cuboid nets on which the students could draw on the spots , construct a blank dice, take it apart while noting where the various pieces go.
