Notes: On worksheets 1-3 i have set the sector as part of a circle shown as a dotted line to remind students that a sector is a fraction of a circle. There may also be some discussion over rounding everything to 1d.p. as in some questions it is probably not suitable.

A colourful FRACTION WALL in 4 sizes **PRINT WITH A GENEROUS OVERLAP SETTING of at least 2 cm ** The default setting on PDF’s is only about 2mm I have also included some tiling instruction for the large size poster. If possible print the tiles at A3 and use a guillotine to cut edges of each tile.

Let me know

Also included are an un-scaffolded set of the same questions (all on on sheet) + answers Watch out for more in this series of resources on SURDS.

10 worksheets with answers (as worksheet and as a list) - Difficultly increases from 1-1 to 1-10 ONE IDEA IS to cut them out into individual questions to they could be easily stuck into books so ALL the working out could be shown. Shuffle them up and distribute at random within the difficulty range Even more difficult if made non-calc work!

60 questions across 5 worksheets

A follow on from my ‘SETS A , B and C’ resources where students have to use Pythagoras’ Theorem to check if the triangle has a right-angle. 22 questions over 2 worksheets (with some ‘scaffolding’) + ANSWERS See other my FREE resources in this set

-Find 352 maths related words ( KS3 Vocab. list) For wordsearches this is quite a challenge. Hardly anyone has ever found all the words (even when they have taken home over an holiday period and arrived back saying it became a family activity) but a lot have said they enjoyed trying. In class some have wanted to do it on their own, some in a small group. But it has worked best as a table activity where they work together an pool their answers. I have also used it to just to find certain words from a small list of 10-20 that I have put on the board.

Step-by-step instructions (PowerPoint) on how to use factor trees to decompose a number into a product of primes. This can be left on a loop while the class are working. A further menu driven PowerPoint that has ALL the solutions for each number (minus a few variations) No worksheets. I just get the pupils to ‘shout out’ several numbers between 2 and 100 and write these on the board. (although I sometimes add a few myself) Class marks their own work from solutions PowerPoint

A comprehensive set of blank templates for you to use in your own documents, Powerpoints and Notebook slides etc. Only a few examples are shown the the image gallery above. You can import a template and resize it to what is required , either a large version or multiples per sheet (if you use the PDF version you can do this in the print settings automatically) These include. Different number of spots around a Circle - 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36 , 50 and 72 Let the students investigate different patterns they can make by joining spots up in different ways ( see investigation results graphic) Different patterns of spots (both blank and numbered): Based on axes, around different shapes eg triangles, squares, cubes etc. STARTING INSTRUCTIONS to create some of the more difficult patterns are included as graphics so can be projected onto a white board if necessary. The colleague who I made this resource for found it useful and said that the students really enjoyed the activity. CURVE STITCHING 2 - NOW AVAILABLE CURVE STITCHING 2 - NOW AVAILABLE

Working in millilitres and litres and converting between each a) colour amount given b) state amount in jug Use clip-art to create your own worksheets/PowerPoints - they are transparent PDFs so it is easy to draw a coloured rectangle behind to show liquid in jug

29 PYRAMIDS TO SOLVE A more difficult version of NUMBER PYRAMIDS using FRACTIONS Addition and subtraction of fractions/mixed numbers some negative fractions/mixed numbers too

I usually use this resource at a starter or a settler activity with a given time limit (say 10 mins). I give advice about doing as many as possibly and in whichever order the students want. Afterward we have discussions about which they find the easiest or can do the quickest. Usually addition comes out the easiest until I suggest that if you know your tables that the multiplications are the easiest to do and probably the quickest as they don’t need working out. They get to realise that if they really know their tables that the divisions are quicker as they’re usually a single digit number to write as the answer. In my mark book I record how many get correct out of how many they do and a time if they complete them all before the given time. Most of the students really like doing this challenge. Improving their time/score is appears to motivate them. I have had quite a few students ask for sheets so they can practice at home. Use the TABS on the spreadsheet to set the difficulty by changing the MAX and MIN values for each mathematical operation, See the questions(recalculate if necessary ) and the answers for that set of questions. It may be a good idea to PRINT SCREEN a set of answers if you intend to put the answer in a PowerPoint. I usually print a few sets of answers off per table so they can mark their own. Sometimes I read them out. If you cut the answer sheet into 4 strips, these strips can be placed/matched up against each column of students answer sheet and this is really easy for them to mark. Using this technique I have marked a full class of sheets in about 5 mins or so. Another way to use this resource them would be to do them one/two columns/operations at a time and cut the time allowed.

Find the area and circumference of a circle given either the radius or diameter.

Includes 2 worksheets for all the students to write their answers on. I WOULD SUPPLY PLENTY OF SCRAP PAPER I have included a menu driven PowerPoint with an answer for each number (0-100). Including every possible answer for each number would probably be impossible. I have only had a few students get anywhere near completing the worksheet. It has worked well when a table of students have collaborated on the task. The most important learning objective, for me is that once they get an answer for a number that they use it to generate other answers in a somewhat methodical fashion. eg say they stated with 4!+4+4+4=36 go on to 4!+4+4-4=28, 4!+4-4-4=20, 4!-4-4-4=12 4!+4+(4-4)=29 4!+4+(4x4)=44 4!+(4x4x4)=88 etc etc A GOOD ACTIVITY FOR on or near STAR WARS DAY (May the 4th)

Use as a worksheets or cut into strips Blank worksheet included Use the clip-art to create you own worksheet or PowerPoint etc As well as an addition/subtraction version of this resource there is a A ‘MONSTER’ based version for addition/subtraction and also available along with associated CLIP-ART

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)

Q1 Identify temperature reading on 12 thermometers - answer linked questions - use negative numbers Q2 Given the temperature mark on the correct reading. ANSWERS CLIPART All temperatures from -21 degrees C to 44 degrees C + BLANK the clip-art is for you to use with your own worksheets or PowerPoints etc and should scale without any loss in quality if you want to display half a degree increment put a red rectangle behind the blank thermometer

A PowerPoint explanation (proof) of the methodology for using the “pattern matching” method to find the nth term of a quadratic sequence. Plus an quadratic sequence question generator in EXCEL that has all the solution /method for finding the nth term. The complexity of the question/solution can be adjusted by changing the max and min values. A different question every time by recalculating the worksheet (usually by pressing F9)
