This is a couple of worksheets that were created for the introduction of area at KS3 and developing into the formula for the rectangle. Squares are covered as is perimeter Area Of Irregular Shapes provides you with four larger than average shapes on a cm square grid to find the area of - I usually ask the class which shape has the largest area and then everyone finds the area of at least two shapes. Area Of Rectangles finding the area of rectangles on a cm square grid - leading to the formula A = Length x Width.

This was a short starter which I developed and it turned out to be more demanding than intended. This is a pdf showing three coloured tiles and students are to name which squares should be coloured to give which type of symmetry. Line symmetry is easy to visualize but rotational symmetry not so much. I aimed this at foundation level GCSE but it can be used at Key stage 3 or even 2. A page of blanks is included - You may find them useful…or not

Not a wonderful resource but some may find a use for it. Write two numbers in the circles and see if they can score a goal by identifying anything between those numbers. I used it for fractions but don’t forget decimals and negatives. Obviously try to miss the goalkeeper !!

There are 11 different nets of a cube This powerpoint presents 16 different arrangements and simply asks - is this the net of a cube?? I used this initially with year 7 when teaching nets but have used it at Key Stage 2 and with foundation level students at GCSE. Hope you find it useful. Please leave feedback, particularly if you like my work - thank you.

A simple 9 page wall display outlining the definition of the 7 quadrilaterals and their properties. Print them and laminate them they make for an effective teaching aid. Each quadrilateral has its own page so the display can be projected onto a whiteboard too. I finished it off with a summary table. Hope you find it useful.
