I have been teaching MATHEMATICS (11-16) since 1990. I have regularly been commended on my classroom displays and the quality of my resources as I feel this enriches the student experience.
As a self-taught graphic designer I now produce professional quality materials for our academy/academy chain across all departments including posters/banners and promotional materials. I am currently working on updating some older resources as well as developing new ones!

A poster for your classroom depicting all the animals, their Chinese symbols and different years associated with the Chinese New Year.
There are 3 PDF files for printing A4,A3 and A2 sizes
Print each size with appropriate settings. If you only can print in A4 you will have to “TILE” the A3 and A2 and instructions for doing this are included.
I have also included the high quality PNG file to use in your own documents or PowerPoints etc.
SEARCH-FIND-COUNT - AT THE BEACH
USE INCLUDED POWERPOINT for WHOLE CLASS INVOLVEMENT
WORKSHEET AND ANSWERS CAN BE PRINTED VIA POWERPOINT
I have not tried this as I am a secondary teacher but I was trying to come up with an idea for a primary college that would make counting ‘more interesting’ .
I thought that the main image may be laminated to allow pupils to use a whiteboard marker to cross off/ circle the ones they have found.
A tally chart(s) also could be used.
I have included all the ARTWORK I have drawn as individual clip-art so that you could use them to create your own PowerPoints, Notebook files etc
If it a popular/useful resource, I may make a series with different topics/themes.
Please let me know what you think!

A PELMANISM GAME with 18 Christmas themed images.
The set I have made includes 4 of each image. So 72 cards in total.
These can be set out in various configurations
2x36, 3x24, 4x18, 6x12, 8x9 for game play
However you will need at least 2 copies of each image you use to make smaller sets
PRINTING
I have printed them back-to-back on 300gsm A4 card. (but paper will do if you are going to stick them on something else to act as a card back) So you have 9 cards on one side and the card backs on the other. Check your printer settings. Print one side, put the sheet back in the printer the opposite way around and print the card back page.
CUTTING OUT
I cut them out from the image side, a fraction inside the image design. In this way you should get an even border on the card back side if they have lined up correctly.
I have also use a craft corner cutter 4mm , to round off the card corners and put them in plastic cards sleeves to help preserve them and a box to put them in.
See IMAGES of my SET
An slightly different, but I hope interesting resource for simple addition and subtraction of numbers up to 20 using robots/number machines.
EXPLANATION POWERPOINT (24 slides)
Initially: 4 worksheets with answers
ALL the clip art I used to make the resource for you to use.
use the clip art to make your own worksheets or large scale robots for lessons or displays
Please note
This resource is the beginnings of an idea.
It is as uploaded and as yet UNTESTED with a class.
It has been designed to make basic calculations a bit more interesting and in some of the examples a little more challenging.
Please let me know what you think of this as an idea and if it is any good and thoughts on improving it.
Any questions please contact me.
I will make more associated resources if people think it will be worthwhile.
Please REVIEW if possible

The numbers are written with standard index form/scientific notation
to make them easier to read and understand.
While trillion is an incredibly large number, and the one that is the highest that some people will know about, there are actually many numbers that are larger than it.
This poster shows names from Thousand to Googol and a few extra of note.
A4, A3 and A2 sizes with tiling instructions included

This resource has a selection of posters showing the value of PI to a various number of decimal places.
The two distinctly different posters show the first 1000 and 10000 decimal places of PI respectivly (the latter having 3 colour variations and either A4 or A3 in size)
The banner shows the first 100 decimal places and can be either approx 3.5m or 7m dependent on how its stuck together (tiled).
This can be Pi, UP TO , 100 dp if you only print off as many sheets as you want.
10 CHRISTMAS themed SPOT THE DIFFERENCE PUZZLES
10 DIFFERENCES to find on each puzzle
A colleague I made them for is intending to LAMINATE the print version of the puzzles so the pupils can use a dry wipe pen on them and they can be reused.
The POWERPOINT could be used as a class activity where all the pupils are trying to spot the differences on a puzzle on the interactive whiteboard.
All the separate elements of this resource are included as png files.
All the separate puzzles are included as JPG files
SOME OF THESE PUZZLES MAY BE MORE CHALLENGING THAN YOU THINK!
A good exercise in observation skills?
48 Anagrams of chemical elements over 2 worksheets (or one worksheet if printed back-to-back)
With Answers
Good practice identifying/recalling names of elements.
(especially good if your are going to appear on “POINTLESS”)
ANOTHER comprehensive set of blank templates(40+) 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.
A set of grids and examples for creating a curve-stitched ALPHABET
A set using cube/rhombus patterns and more
On some of the more complicated patterns images of how to get started and steps along the way are provided
Let the students investigate different patterns they can make by joining spots up in different ways ( see investigation results graphic)
This is a follow up resource to my original curve stitching resource which is also FREE to download.
A fun activity to find the 20 differences.
Quite challenging.
Suggest laminating and using dry wipe markers so can be used again in the future.
Could be used as an activity where the students have to write a description of where the differences are.
A 12 slide PowerPoint presentation showing how to prove Pythagoras’ Theorem.
While there are some animations in the presentation, you may want to change some of the settings on them so that you can ask the students questions while you are presenting it.
I have many other resources based on this topic that can be downloaded for FREE.
