A set of 5 different pixelated images to create by joining coordinates. These resources are very popular on the TES and I decided to make my own for my students as I enjoy doing them just as much as they do. Included are: a heart, a ‘minion’ (from the ‘Despicable Me’ films), the ‘bat logo’, a Dragon (for St. George's Day) and ‘Iron Man’. All images include both a 1st quadrant only and all 4 quadrants set of coordinates so you can differentiate for your students’ abilities. All answers included
A complete lesson PowerPoint to introduce Venn Diagrams and get students interpreting/using them to find probabilities. A worksheet is provided for students to work on. All examples are fully explained and animations on the ppt used effectively to do so. All answers included and all teacher notes are given in the ‘notes’ section of each slide. Also includes a 10 question plenary using my ABCD fans, but mini whiteboards could be used instead.
I have put together these sets of questions for students to practise their calculator skills ahead of the GCSE Calculator Paper. The questions involve students typing in a calculation into their calculators, writing down all the digits on their calculator display and then rounding their answers to a given number of either decimal places or significant figures. I aim to use these as a starter in each lesson/revision session leading up to the calculator paper. Answers included.
A complete notebook file for teaching both circumference and area of circles. All answers are included in the resource as well as learning outcomes, animations and starter/plenary tasks. All details of how I’ve used the resource are included as well as suggestions as to how use each slide
2 sets of engaging comics containing the constructions needed at KS3 and KS4. The first comic contains perpendicular line and angle constructions; the second contains the triangle constructions (SSS, SAS, ASA). Students follow the instructions on the comics to complete their constructions leaving you time to help those students that require a bit more support. There is a triangle constructions worksheet included, as well as an index in the teacher instructions to easily find the construction you are teaching.

This bundle includes: Solving Equations (Unknowns on Both Sides), Solving Equations (Including Brackets &/or Fractions) & Evaluating Indices.
An engaging activity for students to consolidate their learning. Students answer the questions on the sheet and then, once they have the answer, colour in the corresponding section of the large grid to create a pattern. All details are fully explained in the resource itself, with lots of additional ideas as to how to get the best out of the resource, including: extension activities, challenge questions and suggested variations on the activity. All answers included

Numeracy Skills Checks - KS3 Numeracy Program to complement White Rose Maths SOL and allow students to review their learning on Sparx Maths.
This resource has been created with a view to improving students’ numeracy and Mathematics outcomes across my school from September. The Numeracy Skills Checks assess students’ basic numeracy skills and strategies and complement the White Rose Maths schemes of learning in KS3. There are 6 Numeracy Skills Checks for each Year Group 7-9 (one for each half term), 18 altogether across all 3 year groups. Each Year Groups’ Numeracy Skills Checks come complete with answers in a separate document. There is then a Student Review Sheet outlining each topic covered for each Numeracy Skills Check, linked to the Sparx Maths Independent Learning tasks. I have then added a Tracker spreadsheet that will automatically colour code students results based on their scores/confidence rating. There’s a document outlining the logistics of running the Numeracy Skills Checks with tips to get the program running in your Mathematics department and a poster to be printed and displayed in classrooms/corridor displays to raise the profile of the Numeracy Skills Checks.
An interactive PowerPoint for the IWB to help students recall of their times tables. Themed around the popular ‘Blockbusters’ TV programme format students (in teams) try and get times tables questions correct and create a row of answers from the left to the right of the grid. All slides are interactive with all controls explained the teacher instructions document. My students love the competitive nature of this game and learn their tables at the same time. All times tables 2-12 are included as well as separate games for square numbers, mixed times tables and a bonus ‘tricky’ game of the 12-19 times tables!
A set of 100+ Plenary questions/tasks to use in your Mathematics lessons. Print, cut up and laminate each page of this resource before hole punching and binding the ‘sticks’ together for plenty of use in your lessons. Included in the resource, in addition to the 100+ questions/tasks are blank ‘sticks’ for you to create your own questions/tasks, plus suggestions as to how best use this resource with your students.
