A pdf of a 22 slide PowerPoint that situates charts/graphs in the data handling cycle. It covers collecting, presenting, sorting and analysing data along with bar charts, line graphs, pie charts, decision tree diagrams, two-way tables, flow charts, Venn diagrams, stem & leaf diagrams and scatter graphs. A Powerpoint version is available here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/gcse-data-handling-lesson-or-revision-notes-ppt-12395877 There is at least a weeks material for GCSE lessons and will be useful for revision classes or an overview of the concepts involved. So, far instance, much greater depth would be required for averages. Please review it if you download it and do put it to good use. If you think this is good, think about purchasing the PowerPoint. It allows the teacher to introduce the key ideas to students via animated slides. Most of the ideas are easier to access through animation and slow reveal.

A single slide PowerPoint showing the main entries of a monthly wage slip.

A ten page workbook on the enjoyable puzzle game of Shikaku. Simpler to master than Sudoku but with more mathematical content, Shikaku helps student develop spatial awareness. It is a useful way for students to appreciate prime numbers in a concrete setting using the ares of rectangles and squares. Square numbers can also be contextualised.

Update October 2024. A macro enabled spreadsheet that provides visible representations of multiples and factors. Use drop-down menus to select integers to show factors and multiples highlighted in 1-100/1-200 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 10 sheets: a) FactorsA - factors of all numbers from 2 up to 200. Show visibly why only integers to half-way are required b) Factors B - factors of all numbers from 2 up to 200, colour coded showing prime and square numbers c) F&M - factors & multiples side by side in two 1-200 number grids d) O&E - even & odd numbers shown in a 1-200 number grid e) PF - prime factors of three numbers as tiles f) HCF2 - factors of two integers, showing HCF (three 1-100 grids) b) HCF3 - factors of three integers, showing HCF (seven 1-100 grids) c) LCM2a - multiples of two integers, showing LCM (three 1-100 grids) d) LCM2b - multiples of three integers, showing LCM (seven 1-100 grids) e) LCM3 - multiples of two integers, showing LCM (one 1-1050 grid) Macros must be enabled. 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.

To play this Maths game, students need to know the following: multiples digits prime numbers square numbers making a calculation using one operator (+, -, x, ÷) using bingo cards Designed by James Muldoon (11) and Barbara Muldoon.

A PowerPoint of 10 slides introducing the concept and based on the relevant chapter in “How I wish I’d taught maths”, Craig Barton, 2018, chapter 11.

A progression of mental maths strategies for multiplication and division from a basic level to GCSE level. The strategies are grouped as ‘Change’ or ‘Split’. It invites students to change a problem, to an easier form, before splitting numbers, if necessary, to carry out a calculation. This is a useful resource for Maths teachers of all age groups to see what are the next steps for their students and also to see the range of different possible strategies available.

A pdf of a 33 slide PowerPoint showing an approach to multiplication for teenage students who have not rote learned them. It combines the Operational Principles with the area model of multiplication to empower students to apply a small number of tables to calculations (x1, x2, x3, x5 and x10). It also covers the area model of division and mental strategies for multiplication and division. It is aimed at Maths Dept CPD rather than for school students. It is pedagogical for Maths Teachers although some slides would be useful for teaching. Years of experience of training Maths teachers, research and thinking has gone into this resource. The actual Powerpoint, which is available to purchase, has animation to enable conceptual development to be brought into sharper focus.

A pdf of a 6 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 PowerPoint is available with the correct answers and spreadsheet containing the constructed charts which can be edited. They can be downloaded from here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-12850971

An audit tool to use alongside the Ofsted research review of Mathematics. Maths Departments can use the tool to either audit the extent the department cover the identified features or audit how important the department views the features. It enables Maths teachers and departments to identify areas of the review they think are important to address before homing in on the research of the relevant areas. A self-evaluation tool assists to analyse and to assess the impact or use of the review.
