An 11 slide PowerPoint that uses Couch to 5K as a context for thinking about time, distance and speed.
The cards and tables of each C25K session are useful to initiate class conversations about components of speed and how to go about getting fitter.
Ratio and percentages can also be explored using this context.
The correct answers are included and there is a spreadsheet containing the constructed charts which can be edited.
A free pdf version of the slides without answers can be downloaded from here:

A 22 slide PowerPoint showing some really important maths concepts in concrete form and which pupils should be aware of. Cuisenaire rods are the main focus but enhanced with the counting stick to produce a powerful arsenal for additive reasoning.
It covers equivalence, inequalities, decimals, factors, primes, composites, fractions, squares and algebra.
There is at least a weeks material for all ages at primary school and applicable to secondary students who have gaps in their understanding. Please review it if you download it and do put it to good use.
The PowerPoint allows the teacher to introduce the key ideas to students via extensive use of animation. Most of the ideas are easier to access through animation and slow reveal.

A PowerPoint of 20 puzzles. This provides spatial awareness practice, CAT4 practice and cognitive abilities test practice.
Difficulty: Level 3 Hard.
Cut out cards and rearrange to make tracks. Use symmetry, rotation, reflection and 90 degree angles to complete the tracks.
Track cards are inspired by the amazing Serpentiles originally published by ThinkFun but no longer manufactured.

A spreadsheet that displays the multiples and factors of two or three integers.
Input 2 or 3 integers and multiples are highlighted in 1-100 number squares. One square shows the multiples of the first integer. Another shows the multiples of the second integer. The third shows the multiples of both.
The same is shown for factors.
There are 5 sheets:
a) factors of two integers (three 1-100 number grids)
b) factors of three integers (seven 1-100 number grids)
c) multiples of two integers (three 1-100 number grids)
d) multiples of three integers (seven 1-100 number grids)
e) multiples of two integers (one 1-1050 number grid)
The sheets are protected so students/teachers can only type in integers in the correct cells. They can be easily unprotected to make changes.
I would welcome any suggestions for improvement.
