I have been teaching MATHEMATICS (11-16) since 1990. I have regularly been commended on my classroom displays and the quality of my resources as I feel this enriches the student experience. As a self-taught graphic designer I now produce professional quality materials for our academy/academy chain across all departments including posters/banners and promotional materials. I am currently working on updating some older resources as well as developing new ones!

MAYAN NUMBERS - An EXCEL program that converts 'DECIMAL' INTEGERS to MAYAN NUMERALS/SYMBOLS

MAYAN NUMBERS - An EXCEL program that converts 'DECIMAL' INTEGERS to MAYAN NUMERALS/SYMBOLS

IT also converts given number to the VIGESIMAL (base 20) system i.e. 0=0, 1=1, 2=2, …, 9=9, 10= A, 11=B, … , 19=J. Using different number bases is alway a great lesson to get the students to think about place value and how that works. It is also an excellent way to practice multiplication, division, addition and subtraction as well as some logical thinking. It is also me looking back to the day when you had to do calculate in £, /- , d. and st, lb and oz etc. A PROBABLE USE IS TO GIVE THE STUDENTS A NUMBER TO CONVERT and USE THIS TO CHECK ANSWERS OR USE IT AS A Q&A session/lesson on Converting backwards and forwards between different bases. I have other MAYAN resources including information/worksheets sheets. It should work on any computer as it doesn’t have any macros etc but I made it on EXCEL for the MAC. I think it is best when the screen is zoomed in so that you can only see the main area surrounded by the brown box.

This set of resources can be given as either 4 separate worksheets or cut into strips as 13 individual questions perhaps as a starter activity. JPEG files included in case you want to use the in your own PowerPoint or Notebook files etc The GOOD STARTING point is knowing that each dice has a total of 21 spots and calculate the GRAND TOTAL (bottom right) = number of dice in the box x 21 OR While the multiplication may be useful it can also be done entirely with addition and subtraction. The dice boxes have 4, 6, 12, 15 or 35 dice in them. It could also be a calculator activity. It is a good discussion point on where to start when filling in the grid. A lot of pupils will automatically start count the spots on the different coloured dice. However I found that ‘worked backwards’ were a lot more successful. Checking that the column and row totals all ‘work’ is an essential part of this task. I would appreciate any comments or feedback you could give via reviews. I am currently in the process of uploading several DICE related resources which are available now or will be available in the near future.

A collection of activities around an ANIMAL ALPHABET. WORDSEARCH BINGO - 50 Unique BINGO CARDS and DRAW TOKENS (that can also be used check on what has been draw). They are A4 as they stand but if you want A5 versions print the PDF - 2 per page A set of ‘playing card’ sized cards for use in a game of PELMANISM or other games. You will need at least 2 sets. I suggest these are printed on thick card if possible. I have used 300gsm These also have a CARD BACK GRAPHIC so if you want this design on the back of the cards there are instructions. Laminate or use plastic card sleeves for best results.

FACTOR FINDER PROGRAM - Displays factors - for use on whiteboards

A program (in Adobe Flash) that displays the factors/factors pairs for all the numbers 1-100 Really useful factor related activities and for checking worksheet answers. Lots to discus with the students. Same colour coding as my FREE Factor Banner/Poster which, at the moment, is my one of my most popular downloads. Should work on the touch of an interactive whiteboard . Flash should work on most computers/laptops and I have had this working through Internet Explorer. If you are able to make a comment/follow I would be grateful as it lets me notify you if there is any changes/upgrades to it.

The missing vowels version is a lot easier than the alphabetical order one. Both will be difficult if you don’t know any Shakespeare Plays.
