Three lesson starters, easily editable, practicing times tables. Just play the slideshow as pupils enter and it will continue on a loop. Two squares of a 4 x 4 grid will be revealed on each slide, showing a times tables question. Pupils have to draw the grid and complete it with the correct answers in each square. Engages pupils as they need to pay careful attention to see which answer goes where, and settles them ready for the lesson ahead - this activity is ideal for low ability pupils as it gives them an activity they can access right at the start of the lesson.

Two lesson starters, easily editable, practicing written multiplication. Just play the slideshow as pupils enter and it will continue on a loop. Two squares of a 4 x 4 grid will be revealed on each slide, showing a question. Pupils have to draw the grid and complete it with the correct answers in each square. These resources engage pupils as they need to pay careful attention to see which answer goes where, and so they are settled, ready for the lesson ahead - this activity is ideal for low ability pupils as it gives them an activity they can access right at the start of the lesson. Answers are included in a separate document.

Complete lesson on multiplying decimals. The lesson includes differentiated questions, including some application of knowledge questions. I have also included an exit pass activity for you to assess how well your pupils understood the lesson (though you may wish to do self assessment with it to save time). There are two main versions - the "cover" version includes extra explanation and complete working out of the main examples. The regular version omits this so that you can do the working with your pupils on the board, allowing more questioning and AfL opportunities in class etc. I have uploaded both versions in both Powerpoint and Powerpoint 97-03 formats.

Differentiated worksheet for pupils to practice decimal multiplication - preferably after having been taught using grid method. Pupils should choose the best place for them to start. In the red section the grids are laid out for pupils to complete, and then for the last few questions they must draw the grids themselves. The yellow section is straightforward practice, pupils multiply the decimals with no hints. The green section contains problem solving questions to challenge those who understand the technique.

Fun and engaging blockbusters activity for the classroom based on the classic TV show. This particular activity is designed to help pupils consolidate their knowledge of place value. Split the class into two teams and assign each one to be either blue or white. Each team takes turns to choose a letter that will then reveal a question. If they get the question right make the tile their colour by clicking the blue or white boxes on each tile. The blue team win if they make a connected row across the screen, and the white team win if they make one going down. Because the blue team have another tile to complete, they should go first.

Treasure Hunt activity designed for pupils to practice decimal addition. Pupils can complete the task individually or in pairs. The cards should be cut out and stuck around the wall of the classroom. Pupils go and stand near one of the cards (in a pair or individually) - possibly whiteboards should be given to them for working out - and they start with that card. When they answer the question on the card they go and find the card that has that answer on, making a note of the order of the cards (the card numbers are at the bottom of the cards). When they get round to the card they started at, pupils are done and come to you to check their work. The correct order is included in the documents so you can see quickly where any mistakes have been made. Blank answer sheets are also included for pupils to write down the card numbers.

Connect four game for pupils to do in pairs or groups of four (with two teams of two pupils). In my experience the activity works best when the board is laminated and pupils can use whiteboard markers. Pupils take it in turns to try and answer a question, and are peer assessed by the other team. If they get it correct they can put their initials over the space, and the goal is to get four squares in a row. The pupils could also used coloured post it's or counters. Answers are included.

Treasure Hunt activity designed for pupils to practice decimal subtraction. Pupils can complete the task individually or in pairs.

A complete lesson plan for subtracting decimals, accompanied by my codebreaker and treasure hunt activities as alternative/supplementary consolidation for pupils. There are two versions, one that walks pupils through the examples, designed for cover teachers who are not mathematics specialists, and a plainer version where examples will need to be completed by the teacher themselves as a demonstration for pupils.

Simple yet engaging code breaker activity in which pupils solve the two step equations and write the letter of the equation under the corresponding answer to reveal the hidden message of what Mr Chips had for breakfast. Message should read "Chocolate ice cream sandwiches".

Linear equations whole class activity which covers one and two step linear equations. This activity is excellent for differentiation as it allows for pupils to choose their own level of question and progress to the next difficulty at their own speed. It also encourages pupils to work together independently to solve their difficulties instead of instantly relying on the teacher. I have used it many times with my classes and it has proved to be a highly engaging resource for pupils. Instructions: - Print off the card sets on red, amber and green card respectively and place each set of cards somewhere in the room (keeping the same colours together). - All pupils start on a red card (one step addition/subtraction). - Pupils attempt the question on their card writing their answer and their initials on the back. - Pupils fetch another card and repeat. - If pupils pick a card that has been completed, they check the answer. If they come to the same answer they add their initials to the back. If they disagree they find the original pupil and discuss the question together. - Pupils move up to the next level of difficulty when they feel they are ready.

Simple to use and engaging bingo game for the whole class. Pupils choose 9 answers to put into a 3 x 3 grid and can go either for a line or a full house based on teacher discretion. Excellent way to consolidate the learning after studying the topic.

Lesson plan aimed at higher sets on factorising quadratics, including approximate timings for each slide. WARNING: Lesson is made for SMARTBoard technology, NOT Promethean ActivInspire. Lesson begins with a six question starter recapping previous topics (easily adjustable if needed), including an answers slide. Pupils are then taken through recapping what factors are and encouraged to think about both positive and negative factors. Pupils then shown examples (which will need to be completed by the teacher) and given three levels of differentiated questions. The next slide contains the first couple of answers for the easy and medium sections to be shown a few minutes into the independent working period. There is a printable extension page complete with example for simplifying quadratic algebraic fractions for pupils who are comfortable with all levels of factorising. After independent working the learning is extended by solving quadratic equations by factorising, complete with a final differentiated question page to work on this skill.

Engaging bingo activity based on decimal multiplication. Bingo is always popular with pupils and I have regularly used them in my lessons - my students have often requested them, or that we do them again after the first go. Pupils can either draw a 3 x 3 grid in their book, or you can print off some of the blank grids at the start of the powerpoint. They then fill their grid with a selection of the bingo question answers. Can play for both a line and a full house to extend the game or keep pupils interested if their questions aren't coming up often. For replayability, the slide questions can be rearranged so they come up in a different order.

Treasure Hunt activity designed for pupils to practice decimal division. Pupils can complete the task individually or in pairs. The cards should be cut out and stuck around the wall of the classroom. Pupils go and stand near one of the cards (in a pair or individually) - possibly whiteboards should be given to them for working out - and they start with that card.
