Pupils find area and perimeter quite tricky. I made this PowerPoint to explain clearly and simply how to calculate area of rectangles, triangles and compound shapes. The use of formula is described once the children have a clear understanding of the concept of area.

The UK went metric some years ago but not everyone has had the memo! Distances are still measured in miles, market sellers sell their fruit and veg by the lb and most people measure their weight in stones - all very confusing for children who learn about measurement from an early age in school. This PowerPoint explains the history of some of the ancient measures as well as a look at their metric equivalents.

Maths is lots of fun and here is a lovely Easter project that every KS2 child will enjoy. A simple yet effective PowerPoint takes the pupils through the process, ste by step. Cut out the template, make the chick and fill the box with mini eggs. What could be better?

Your pupils will never again confuse alternate angles with corresponding angles! This vibrant PowerPoint takes each angle property and illustrates it clearly and vividly, allowing the student sufficient time to absorb and consolidate a tricky concept. Also included are adjacent angles on a straight line, co-interior and co-exterior angles.

Another excellent resource which takes the pupils step-by-step through the process of what an angle is, how to name an angle, the importance of estimation and how to use a 180 degree protractor. With simple yet stunning slides, every pupil will be able to access what can be, a tricky concept to master.

A clear and effective explanation to show pupils how to round off a number to one or two decimal places. Using simple graphics and practical repetition, every pupil will be able to access this important concept. The author is well known for easy to understand, eye-catching presentations. The PowerPoint is supported by two worksheets.

This starter appeals to all children as it offers a challenge to every ability. A funny character appears on the screen with each section of his body containing a number. The pupils chose a number, such as 10, and make up an interesting way to reach it. Less able children might suggest that 1 + 9 = 10, another child might suggest that 5 x 2 = 10 while a more able child might suggest that 10 = the square root of 100! The teacher selects a child to tap the smartboard and, lo and behold, the body part disappears! This starter is open-ended which means that every child is fully engaged in the process.

A simple yet effective PowerPoint which takes the pupils through volume of a cuboid step by step. Suitable for Upper KS2 and Lower KS3.

A clear PowerPoint presentation that show clearly how a formula is obtained to find the area of a rectangle and then the area of a triangle. Pupils are taken through the process step-by-step to ensure understanding.

This excellent PowerPoint presentation takes the pupils through the basic information needed to understand what triangles are, how to name them and how to prove that the angle sum of a triangle is 180 degrees. It is suitable for Years 4, 5 & 6.

Pupils find it very difficult to convert one unit of metric measurement to another, eg converting kg to g and cm to m. This PowerPoint presentation simplifies the process, breaking the method into simple steps. It is suitable for upper KS2 and lower KS3 pupils.

An excellent resource to show exactly how a number is divided into equal parts and what to do if there is a remainder. Strong visual effects bring home the concept that division is the inverse of multiplication. The presentation makes clear use of a number line that even less-able learners will be able to understand.

A step-by-step guide to multiplying a decimal by a whole number or by another decimal. It explains in clear steps how the process is helped by the pupil's knowledge of place value.

A fantastic resource which demonstrates very clearly how to rotate an object. The accompanying worksheet, with answers, gives the pupils practice in the technique of rotation. This resource is suitable for upper KS2 and lower KS3.

A comprehensive resource pack that explains more complex Venn diagrams in detail. The PowerPoint is extremely clear, taking the pupils through the concept of the intersection of two and three sets. There is a fact sheet for pupils as well as a worksheet to consolidate the concept. Answers are supplied.

A PowerPoint with very clear slides that is all you need to take your pupils through the process of enlargement. The concept of scale factor and the centre of enlargement is explained one step at a time. A follow-up worksheet with answers will consolidate the concept.

A series of 20 tests to revise and consolidate the KS2 curriculum. Suitable for Year 6 pupils. The tests, which take no more than 10 to 15 minutes, encourage speed and confidence. Pupils enjoy the repetition of topics which include a variety of number-based questions including fractions, decimals and percentages. There are also Shape and Measure questions and a selection of word problems. An excellent resource for a busy teacher.

A student-friendly power-point presentation that shows very clearly the two types of symmetry - line and rotational. It contains excellent visual effects showing clearly how symmetry works. An invaluable introduction to symmetry for KS2 as well as a reminder for KS3 pupils.

A worksheet to consolidate line and rotational symmetry.

A PowerPoint introduces "Reflection" and this is followed up with a worksheet explaining the process and a second worksheet, with answers, to consolidate the topic. The resources are suitable for Years 5, 6 and 7.
