This spreadsheet has been designed for use in a couple of ways. 1. as a learning resource for pupils to use in their own time 2. as a lesson to be displayed on the board First are sheets that show how to find a sequence and specific terms in a sequence from the nth term. This is followed by a sheet of 24 questions. Next is a sheet showing how the nth term is found from a sequence and a sheet of 24 questions follows that. Finally there is a sheet describing the nth term of descending sequences and a sheet of 16 questions for practice. All lesson sheets have randomly generated examples that can be refreshed until the learners have a firm grasp of what is required. All practice sheets have randomly generated questions and macro buttons that allow answers to be revealed as a whole or individually. Make sure you enable macros and pass on any costs to your school. Thanks.

Any pupils wanting to learn their times tableswill need lots of grids so they can practice regularly. This excel spreadsheet will provide an infinite number of grids, simply pressing F9 the grids will be refreshed. I have set up pages with the following grids (1 to 10) x (1 to 10), (2,4 & 8) x (1to 10) and (2, 3, 4, 5 & 8) x (1 to 10) but the spreadsheet is fully editable. Included is a word document so you can hopefully have a preview. Always charge your school for any downloaded rsources.

This is an Excel spreadsheet that replicates the questions from the 2016 KS2 Mathematics Paper 2 reasoning sampler. Each page has a number of questions providing valuable practice to your pupils in preparation for their tests, pressing F9 refreshes the questions and changes the numbers so you can give them the questions again. Of 20 questions on the paper I have been able to replicate 15 and of these 14 come with answers. Please make sure that you pass on any costs to your school.

This is a zip file containing one full years worth of homeworks comprised of 48 individual pdf’s. They have been written to provide a suitable level of questions for Year 11 students who are working towards grade 3. It can also be given to any groups working at a similar level. For each homework 20 questions are drawn randomly from a bank of 70 question types and in turn each question type is randomly generated so this is a full set of non-repeating homeworks. At the end of the sheet there are always an additional two fraction arithmetic questions. The result is fully interleaved questioning of the core skills your students need to succeed at GCSE Foundation maths. Before buying please make sure you download the samples.

Ten worksheets each consisting of two pages of 14 exam style questions. Questions are scaffolded to prompt correct working. Answers included on each sheet.

This is a spreadsheet that will deliver questions for you to use as a starter exercise, something for you to project on the board before your students enter the room and they can get on with the questions whilst you do the register etc. It’s a great resource for interleaving How it works: Key questions from the three topics are listed on separate sheets, you can add to these if you want but they currently stand at Germany (74), US (72) and Russia (53). Each time the screen is refreshed by pressing the F9 button, Excel will return a random selection of questions. Choosing five gives two billion possible combinations, you can select up to ten questions which gives significantly more. Obviously I’m not a history teacher, this was produced as a request from a colleague who had seen what I do in maths. This spreadsheet can be added to or modified, if someone is interested but uses a different specification, send me a bank of questions and I can modify this to suit your requirements.

Battleships has often been used in the classroom but has led to pupils being confused between coordinates and grid references, this leads to problems when numbering axes (boxes rather than lines) Battleshapes seeks to address this by providing ships represented by a variety of 2D shapes. HMS Square, USS Rhombus, HMS Kite etc Pupils sink ships by hitting the corners of each shape. The resource is a Powerpoint file and is fully editable. To add some differentiation I have included sheets where the grid is numbered, partially numbered and not numbered. An additional sheet is included for those who prefer to talk about vertices rather than corners. As with any resource, please make sure your school pays for the resource and not you.

This spreadsheet will randomly generate questions and answers each time you press the F9 button. All questions are fully selectable to ensure you have the question type you want to put to your students. It is perfect for interleaving as it allows you to give your students questions on a given topic for as long as they need them. By selecting which topics you are going to give them and when you can make use of the spacing effect that regular revisiting of topics provides. It allows you to effortlessly cover each of the points raised in this article Using this spreadsheet as a starter every lesson also saves you a lot of time in preparation. The spreadsheet is designed to support classes following OUP Core Maths for AQA and covers topics found in Chapter 1; Surds Quadratic functions and their graphs Quadratic factors Completing the square The quadratic formula and discriminant Methods of solving quadratics Quadratic inequalities Simultaneous equations
