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.

Designed for secondary school students, this sheet can be used for work in class or as a homework. It is also excellent for one-to-one tuition.
Ideal for GCSE revision, this worksheet contains exam-type questions that gradually increase in difficulty. This sheet covers Surds, with the last questions being of a problem solving nature.
These review sheets are great to use in class or as a homework. They are also excellent for one-to-one tuition and for interventions.
For similar-style revision sheets on other topics, click 👉 tes.com/../more...
Answers are included, as is a NEW STYLE of PowerPoint, which allows individual questions to be selected for enlarged display onto a screen. The answer can then be worked out ‘live’ by the teacher (or student) or a single click will reveal my solution. This not only helps in class, but it is also very useful for a student who is revising at home 😀.

Three worksheets with carefully thought-out questions, which have helped many classes take the first steps in working with surds. Equivalent surds, adding, subtracting and multiplication/division are covered.

These topic-focused SATs questions at the end of a unit will help to test and extend students’ understanding as well as helping them to prepare for SATs next year. These questions have fully-worked solutions which can be displayed on a whiteboard making feedback with students more efficient.
Click 👉 tes.com/…/KS2-Maths-Questions… for similar-style compilations on the other KS2 topics.<hr>This particular compilation is from the GEOMETRY strand and contains questions about 2-D shapes.<hr>I have designed this compilation to be printed as an A4 or A5 booklet which is in the style of the actual SATs papers and is convenient for use in class or as homework. It can even be given to individual students if a parent is asking for ‘some more work’!
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 😃

These are excellent for one-to-one tutorials and interventions. They are also great when working with small groups or as a starter/plenary for a whole class. For Loop Cards on more than 50 other topics click 👉 tes.com/…/More….
This particular set of cards allows students to practise finding the prime factorisation of different integers. Note that the questions have been carefully selected so that they provide good coverage of this topic and so that the opportunities for students to guess answers are minimised.
Colour coding:
All my loop cards are colour-coded to indicate the approximate level of the questions:
KS2 – red and orange
KS3/GCSE Foundation – orange and green
GCSE Higher – green, blue and purple
Further information:
In this download there are four sets of similar cards and a student chooses one of the sets and sorts them into order by answering the questions. Then they try to do it faster using a different set, which has the same questions, but a different sort order 😃
My favourite use of loop cards is for two students to have different versions of the cards and race each other. They then check their answers, shuffle, swap packs and race again (quickest overall time wins). More instructions are included in the download.
Cut out card size is approx. 65 x 90 mm.

Two worksheets focusing on finding areas of circles and circular shapes. Problem-type questions are included as well. I find that these sheets are very useful as homework tasks for Y8 and older.
As an extra, I have included a NEW STYLE of PowerPoint, which allows questions and solutions to be easily selected for enlarged display onto a screen, one at a time. This makes it easier and quicker to go through the solutions in class.

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.
Unlike most Treasure Hunts, this one has the added feature that the answers to the questions give an encrypted clue. When students decipher this clue, it reveals where the treasure is hidden!
The question cards have been prepared in two sizes. The large version can be pinned around the room and used for a whole class activity. The smaller cards can be used for group work or by individuals. The smaller cards are particularly helpful during interventions.
Colour coding:
I have used colours to indicate the increasing difficulty of questions:
Red, Orange and Green (from primary up to GCSE Foundation)
Blue and Purple (GCSE Higher)

Five carefully thought-out worksheets, which have helped many classes quickly develop competency with their equation solving skills. All of these sheets contain equations that can be solved in just two steps and each worksheet gets slightly harder and allow students to progress through to equations with bracketed expressions and eventually with squares and roots.
--
The sheets are aimed at upper primary and secondary school students. They are particularly useful for GCSE Foundation students. Fully-worked solutions are provided, which can be projected onto a screen.
These three carefully prepared worksheets have helped many classes take the first steps with solving equations. Each of these equations can be solved in just one step by considering the reverse operation. Using these worksheets has always allowed my students to progress to two-step equations quickly.

Designed for upper primary or early secondary school students, the sheets can be used for work in class or as a homework. They are also excellent for one-to-one tuition and interventions.

This particular set of cards allows students to practise recalling squares, cubes and square roots. Because of the nature of this topic, it is acceptable (in fact, desirable) that students learn the squares, cubes and roots rather than actually work them out each time!
Note that the questions have been carefully selected so that they provide good coverage of this topic and so that the opportunities for students to guess answers are minimised.
Colour coding:
All my loop cards are colour-coded to indicate the approximate level of the questions:
KS2 – red and orange
KS3/GCSE Foundation – orange and green
GCSE Higher – green, blue and purple

These worksheets (with solutions) help students take the first steps and then strengthen their skills and knowledge of Using the Sine and the Cosine Ratio. Questions are carefully planned so that understanding can be developed, misconceptions can be identified and so that there is progression both across and down each sheet. Interactive versions of these sheets are available at
https://www.maths4everyone.com/skills/sine-and-cosine-5523.html
The interactive version allows individual questions to be selected for enlarged display onto a screen. The answer can then be worked out ‘live’ by the teacher (or student) or a single click will reveal my solution. This not only helps in class, but it is also very useful for a student who is revising at home.
