I taught in a range of schools for many years before moving into FE, where I found creative and imaginative approaches just as rewarding with adults. Most of my resources are concerned with giving control to the learner, through a range of methods. Some are great for just giving them experience of examination questions, and the chance to discuss these with other learners. I now concentrate on spreading the range of creations from UK KS1 to KS4, and across the Common Standards.

Simple 2D and 3D shapes for revision at any stage. Made originally for Functional Skills

Sarah needed a simple activity to remind her functional skills learners of the names of plane and solid shapes, so I quickly made this. The plan is to show the name and the properties, and the learners sketch the shape. Unfortunately I couldn't get the animation to work, so I've built up the slides to show possible results. You can easily remove the properties - change as you like. I've lots more stuff on TES on plane and solid shapes, if you look at my shop. Plus the net of a box. The plan is to get the learners to adapt this to make a box to hold four cup-cakes. And an activity of making a box to hold cup-cakes. Enjoy.

Fractions; dividing whole numbers and mixed numbers by unit fractions. Clear, colourful presentation

(3)
Clear presentation with lots of opportunities to engage the learners, and questions for the class to try. 40+ slides that take the learners from simple problems to seeing why we do what we do when we divide fraction by fractions. Dividing by unit fractions in this presentation. Dividing by non-unit fractions, and mixed numbers, to come later. Great for first introduction in KS3, or revision in KS4.
