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!

Work through Maze
Tally each symbol
Complete table
Use clues to deduce which elf used which symbol
Reasoning will need knowledge of:
basic inequalities
prime numbers
square numbers
cube numbers
44 - A5 workeets spread over 22 - A4 pages.
For handwriting practice and practice forming letters and numbers,
Examples on each page on how to form each letter with starting points
Page for each letter upper/lower case.
Page for each digit.
Page for digits 0-9
Page for alphabet upper/lower case
3 pages for numbers covering 1 -100
2 pangrams (the quick brown fox…)
-Find 352 maths related words ( KS3 Vocab. list)
For wordsearches this is quite a challenge.
Hardly anyone has ever found all the words (even when they have taken home over an holiday period and arrived back saying it became a family activity) but a lot have said they enjoyed trying.
In class some have wanted to do it on their own, some in a small group. But it has worked best as a table activity where they work together an pool their answers.
I have also used it to just to find certain words from a small list of 10-20 that I have put on the board.

A fun way to learn the prime numbers less than 100
A set of 25 pixel picture puzzles
Shade the squares that have prime numbers
Identify Prime and Composite (non-prime) numbers
3 levels of difficulty
Worksheets (A5/A4) + ANSWERS + blank grids
Guidance/Instructions**
Prior Knowledge Required
Being able to identify some if not all the prime numbers less than 100
unless you use this as an activity for this purpose.
This is an activity designed to make the learning of PRIME numbers much easier and I have been surprised, in the past, how successful it has been.
Start with the PRACTICE question if needed.
For this and
ONE STAR PUZZLES the if you work through the grid,
starting in the top left hand corner and work left to right and row by row the sequence of PRIME NUMBERS <100 appear IN ORDER.
So find 2 and work through to 97
The sequence repeats (partially in some cases) up to the prime needed complete the puzzle
Get them to do this methodically - this is how they pick up the sequence ( a printed sequence for them to have alongside may scaffold the initial process).
TWO STAR - Same rules but generally a larger grid
THREE STAR - Usually a larger grid but primes not in a particular
order although some part of the prime sequence may
occur. (Find a 2 and it may be next to a 3, then a 5,
then a 7 etc etc)
I have provided some blank grids for pupils to make up their own puzzles.
Draw a picture by colouring in a small grid.
Then working with a larger grid get them to write LIGHTLY SHADE their picture onto a big grid
In each shaded square they then write a PRIME NUMBER (in sequence at first as in a one star puzzle) which gets them writing out the primes)
FILL IN THE REST OF THE GRID WITH NON-PRIME which is an equally IMPORTANT TASK
EITHER COPY THIS ONTO ANOTHER BLANK GRID or use COMPUTER and TABLE IN WORD, POWERPOINT or similar to produce a printable puzzle.
I have used ADOBE’s InDesign to make this set of puzzles

Two Versions
Number bond to 10 - addition & subtraction
Finding Primes
Both give same answer
Colour squares dependent on condition
I now have a set of 25 PRIME PIXEL PICTURES available to download - with various difficulties- worksheets and answers
PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A PART FINISHED RESOURCE - but still usable
WORKSHEETS and ANSWERS PROVIDED
PRIME NUMBERS LESS THAN 100 - Via PRIME PIXEL PICTURES (set of 25) + more NOW AVAILABLE
well a mixture of ideas to throw out there
Basically you have a grid of numbers in this case between 1-100
Pupils identify and colour/shade in the prime numbers to produce a PIXEL PICTURE
This resource is just an basic example where the primes come in order so they get to know the sequence
Others
are on bigger grids
Different colours by condition set
Prime mixed up
I have found it surprisingly successful in getting the pupils to learn their prime numbers
Also in this resource I have included a bit mash-up of various other areas of maths that could be brought in - PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK

SEE MY OTHER DOMINO RELATED RESOURCES
Virtually Identical to my set of Ladybird Domino 0-0 to 10-10 resource but with Extra dominoes so that a full set of 0-0 to 12-12 would cover THE TWELVE DAYS of CHRISTMAS. So 91 Dominoes altogether.
Lots of opportunity to set differentiated tasks
IDEAS FOR USE ALSO IN PDF
You could even sing along to the domino you have or find ones that fit the song, as well as looking at all sorts of maths problems that could be weedled out of this topic.
How many birds in total?
How many men in total?
How many women in total?
Number patterns and sequences :
1 partridge on day one
1 partridge and 2 turtle doves on day 2
but thats 2 partridges and 2 turtle doves in total after 2 days …
and 5 partridges ,8 turtle doves, 9 french hens, 8 calling birds and 5 gold rings after 5 days etc etc etc
Perhaps could be used as a writing exercise in English.
OR Just use as normal dominoes
Choose from A3, A2 and A1 versions of a poster showing all the prime number less than 10000.
Will need to be printed and the tiles stuck together for A1 and A2 - instructions included
The font size on the A3 version is only 12pt
I always think that the white border around the edge to the final poster should be removed (for me, personally, it looks better and you don’t notice the “joins” as much).
A2 should be 2 x A3 or 4 x A4 sheets to stick together
A1 should be 4 x A3 or 8 x A4 sheets to stick together (depending on your printer settings)

File include One in FULL COLOUR and one on white background at two different sizes
Also included - sticking the printed tiles together advice/instructions
BANNER Approx w 2.7m x h 0.3m POSTER Approx w 1.3m x h 0.7m
Best results printed on Laser printer (designed to tile A4 PORTRAIT or A3 Landscape Sheets)

A PDF file that had Ladybird Dominoes from 0-0 to 10-10 (66 dominoes over 11 pages)
Normal set of dominoes 0-0 to 6-6 just print off pages 1 to 5
A very good activity for learning practicing number bonds to 10 (see image)
or just used to play normal dominoes.
Other possible ideas are outlined in the PDF.
I have printed off a few sets on card and laminated them and are a big hit with the students
Each domino is 6cmx12cm at 100% size (print off at lower % if smaller size is required)
A PowerPoint explanation (proof) of the methodology for using the “pattern matching” method to find the nth term of a quadratic sequence.
Plus an quadratic sequence question generator in EXCEL that has all the solution /method for finding the nth term.
The complexity of the question/solution can be adjusted by changing the max and min values.
