I regularly upload resources that I have created during 30 years as a teacher. Most of these are maths, but there are some ICT/Computing and Tutor Time activities. All of the resources are my own and are not available from third-parties. The resources have been tweaked over time and I have had many happy lessons and shed-loads of happy and successful students.
At the end of 2017 the TES announced that I was the most downloaded new author and in 2018 another 2 million were added to the count.

This workbook has detailed solutions and is great for revising Probability Trees.
Click 👉tes.com/.../workbooks to download workbooks on other topics.
I have used this booklet extremely effectively with students in Y9, Y10 and Y11. It contains the most typical questions that are seen in GCSE exams. There are eight ‘standard’ probability trees for the students to complete and answer questions on, the requirements of each tree gradually getting more complex. Replacement and non-replacement scenarios are included. Note that the trees in this booklet have two branches and are symmetrical [Non-symmetrical trees are covered in a different workbook which I will upload sometime in the future]
Note that the booklet is designed to be printed as A4, but I usually reduce it to A5 and it still does the job.

Topic-focused SATs questions and fully-worked solutions for the FRACTIONS, DECIMALS and PERCENTAGES strand.
Click 👉 tes.com/…/bundles… for booklet bundles of the other strands.<hr>I have put all my FRACTIONS, DECIMALS and PERCENTAGES booklets together in this one convenient download. I hope that this is helpful to you.<hr> The questions in these booklets are in the style of actual SATs questions and are designed to be printed as A4 or A5.
KEY POINTS:
I have provided full answers, with comments and working where helpful.
I have maintained the style of the actual SATs questions so that students can become comfortable with the way that SATs questions are presented.
Most of the questions are from actual SATs papers, but I have also added questions so that this resource matches the requirements the current curriculum better than the older resources that are still in common use (note that many of the older resources of this type contain questions on topics which are no longer examined).
I have spent a lot of time arranging the questions so that there is a general increase in difficulty as students work through them, and so that they fit on the pages better – this means less wasted space and significant paper-saving when printing 😃

Note that unlike most Treasure Hunts, this one has the added feature that the answers give an encrypted clue. Deciphering this clue reveals where the treasure is hidden!
A Treasure Hunt is a great activity which children love. They are ideal for revision, starters or plenaries. They are a really great way to get students to answer questions quickly and enjoy doing so.
These question cards have been prepared in two sizes. The large cards can be pinned around around the classroom and used for a whole class activity; the smaller (loop cards) can be used for group work or by individuals – they are particularly helpful for one-to-one tutorials and during interventions.
