Rotations on a Triangular Grid

Rotations on a Triangular Grid

(0)
Was moved to create this after seeing something similar on an AQA topic test. Allows pupils the opportunity to consider rotations for angles other than 90 or 180 degrees in a way that is potentially more accessible than doing this on squared paper. Shapes are placed onto a triangular grid, and pupils have to rotate through angles of 60 or multiples of 60.

NPQSL project write up

(93)
When I was completing my National Professional Qualification for Senior Leadership, I found a lack of high-quality examples of things like a Business case or a Risk Management plan to be a real source of concern. There are some online and through TES but they are all charged. I resolved to share my complete NPQSL project for free once I knew it was successful. I am pleased to say I scored 27/28 on the project, and so have shared it complete with assessor feedback so that people can see why I lost the mark and why I scored well. All pupil data and staff codes are anomynised so as to protect identities. Hope it helps!
Adding and Subtracting Fractions complete worksheet set

Adding and Subtracting Fractions complete worksheet set

(6)
For KS2, KS3 or KS4 maths teachers, this set of worksheets completely develops the concept of adding and subtracting fractions. There are 5 worksheets, broadly covering the following aspects of the concept: Adding and Subtracting Fractions with the same denominators Understanding why fractions with different denominators cannot be added or subtracted without exchanging, and identifying when this is and isn’t required. Adding and Subtracting Fractions where one denominator is a multiple of the other. Adding and Subtracting Fractions where the denominators do not share a common factor. Adding and Subtracting Fractions where the denominators do share a common factor. These can be used one after the other over a series of lessons exploring the concept, or could be spaced across several years, with enough similarity in the structure that pupils should have memories of working on similar tasks triggered.
Types of Data Worksheet

Types of Data Worksheet

(14)
A worksheet designed to test and develop pupil's understanding of the different classifications of data. Includes Primary/Secondary, Categorical/Discrete/Continuous and Qualitative/Quantitative. Worksheet differentiated into Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum to allow for different pupils to access different starting points. Bronze starts with multiple choice questions, Silver simple descriptions, Gold asks for an approach to data capture in addition to the type of data, and Platinum simply supplies the type of data required and asks pupils to decide how the data should be captured and what type of data it is. Designed for Foundation tier GCSE pupils, but could be useful for Key Stage 3 or GCSE Statistics pupils.
Half, more then half, less than half

Half, more then half, less than half

(2)
A worksheet with geometrical views of fractions. Can pupils say whether the given fraction is more than, less than or equal to one half? Can the justify why, preferably without finding the actual fraction shaded? (Then, for fun, they can actually find the fraction shaded!)
Exam Formulae Collective Memory

Exam Formulae Collective Memory

(0)
A collective memory resource designed to help pupils remember the required formulae for the GCSE Mathematics 9-1 exam (or at least some of them). The first slide is designed for Foundation pupils, the second for Higher (as it includes Sine and Cosine Rule).

Sums and Differences Activity

(0)
A game for younger/lower attaining pupils designed to support understanding of basic number operations, particularly addition and subtraction. Requires Cuisenaire rods. First shared at the LaSalle Education Complete Mathematics Conference #Mathsconf9 in Bristol (https://completemaths.com/events) tweet-up.

Using an image courtesy of Mr Cooke Maths blog (http://ff6w.primaryblogger.co.uk/mr-cooke-maths-we-16th-january-fraction-action/) a resource designed to encourage pupils to think about fraction equivalence and multiplication/division. Shared at the LaSalle Education Complete Mathematics Conference #Mathsconf9 in Bristol for the speed-date/tweet up (https://completemaths.com/events).

Drawing an angle example cards

(0)
A set of 5 cards, designed to be used cut up and out of order so that pupils have to create the right steps to drawing an angle of 74 degrees. Gives a nice alternative to just drawing angles and can be easily adapted to create multiple questions (I only have 2 on the sheet).
Errors in Truncation

Errors in Truncation

(6)
Using calculator display screens with digits removed, pupils are asked to use inequalities to show the maximum errors in truncating the numbers
Numeracy and Graphicacy across the Curriculum

Numeracy and Graphicacy across the Curriculum

(2)
A selection of posters for Numeracy across the Curriculum or using Graphs and Charts (Graphicacy) across the curriculum. Display in classrooms or on boards around the school and get staff directing pupils to them if they are struggling or unsure which chart is suitable to use.
Histograms and Discrete data
PayphonePayphone

Histograms and Discrete data

(2)
A worksheet with three continuous variables rounded to appear as discrete data. Pupils have to create suitable continuous class intervals for the pre-rounded values before drawing the histogram. Three tables showing the continuous intervals and frequency density are also given. (Technically the second question doesn't ask for a separate table, but pupils should be able to mark histograms from the table if peer or self-assessing).
Multiple representations of fractions
PayphonePayphone

Multiple representations of fractions

(1)
A worksheet that shows a bar model, unit area representation, and number line representations of fractions and asks pupils to create groups showing the same fractions. The groups are then given in the image.

All of the homework booklets I design for my Maths department, free and in one place. Obviously cannot post answers here, but happy for people to email me for them - a DM on twitter with your email address is the best way to get them. Note there are a few images borrowed from different places. Apologies for any infringement and please just let me know and I am happy to credit or change as required.
Angle Pile Up

Angle Pile Up

(12)
Based on an image from NCTM, pupils have to work out all of the angles in each polygon in the diagram. A couple of necessary facts are given to start, namely the 20 degree angle, the fact that triangle W is isosceles and that S is a regular hexagon and a couple of right angles. Answers on page 2.
Completing symmetrical pictures

Completing symmetrical pictures

(1)
Small worksheet for little extra consolidation of completing symmetrical pictures. Pictures drawn on square, triangular and isometric backgrounds to give pupils experience of working with different types of symmetrical shapes. Both line and rotational symmetry considered. Pictures are possible answers to each question (answers are not necessarily unique). *** mistake spotted and corrected***
