SHAKESPEARE PLAYS - 2 PUZZLES/QUIZES - FIND ALL 38 PLAYS EACH INDIVIDUAL PLAY IS SHOWN IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER EACH INDIVIDUAL PLAY IS SHOWN BUT THE VOWELS ARE MISSING I created this resource just for fun and thought someone out there might find it of some use. 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.

1008 CROSS MATHS LOGIC PUZZLES USES ADDITION, SUBTRACTION, MULTIPLICATION and DIVISION and LOGICAL THINKING SKILLS Format 1 112 WORKSHEETS with 9 puzzles per worksheet BUT really intended to be cut into strips of 3 puzzles OR individual puzzles to be used as a starter, a part of a lesson or filler activity. Having so many (1008) it means every pupil gets their own puzzle (no copying) but it turns out if they are sat together they all help each other. Each individual puzzle easy to stick in exercise book. If you use this with one class, say 3/4 lessons on the trot you will get to use 100+puzzles. WITH small solutions 80 per page FORMAT 2 A file with all 1008 puzzles as individual puzzles. get the class to pick a number between 1-1008 and project this onto whiteboard. Each pupil copies the operators and target numbers onto a blank grid OR the A4 big blank grid (laminated so they can use dry wipe pens) and every one works on the same puzzle.

POLYGONS - INTERIOR and EXTERIOR ANGLES INFORMATION POSTER PDF’s ready to print at A4, A3 and A2 sizes (although the latter will need to be printed as tiles and stuck together) PRINTING and TILING ADVICE INCLUDED Also included. The poster and all the individual artwork use in this resource as high quality PNG and PDF files.'s This will enable you to print almost any size (use the PDF on really big sizes as you should not get any pixelation at all) USE with PowerPoints, Notebook files etc

PENTOMINOES - 5x3 GRID CHALLENGE (only 3 pentominoes in each solution) Find the 7 possible distinctly different solutions, i.e. no reflection or rotation duplicates for fitting 3 pentominoes into a 5x3 grid. This challenge only needs 8 of the 12 pentiominoes from the set and these are indicated on the worksheet. This could even be done without having any shapes at all by using the page of blank grids as a ‘working out’ sheet then transferring their final answers on to the worksheet. This is compatible with my PENTOMINOES - STARTER KIT The 15mmx15mm shapes will match up with the grid size on the worksheet and sheet of blank grids. SOLUTIONS and INDIVIDUAL CLIP ART also included

12 TRIPLICATE WORKSHEETS (one for each pentomino shape) These fit the 15mmx15mm squares from my PENTOMINOES - STARTER KIT that is also free to download) A set of small grids to use as needed, such as collating results. Can be done individually to make a display OR Small groups could be given a different pentomino shape and asked to work together to find as many solutions as they can in a given time. OR A whole class activity working on ONE shape and collectively finding as many different solutions as they can. eg Copy a solution on to one of the small grids and have an area where these can be pinned/stuck so the students would be able to check for duplicates etc INDIVIDUAL PNG’s and PDF’s of each BLANK TRIPLICATE for use on Powerpoint/Notebook slides etc There are over 1000 solutions to the entire set so it would be unrealistic to include them.

A logic puzzle based on, and using, PENTOMINOES. Includes: Reusable WORKSHEET ANSWER GRIDS GRID TO PHYSICALLY LAYOUT THE ANSWERS SOLUTIONS in B/W and COLOUR YOU WILL NEED A SET OF PENTOMINOES IF you do: The colours used in the WORKSHEET match up with the ones in my other FREE resource PENTOMINOES - STARTER KIT This resource matches in size with the 15mmx15mm version I have incuded the PNG for the grid used in this puzzle in case you wish to use it at a different size.

A HIGHLY SCAFFOLDED ACTIVITY in which the students are guided to work in a methodical/systematic way to find the solutions. Each puzzle is based on a 5x4 rectangular grid that, in most cases, student only have to fit 3 unknown pentominoes in to the grid as one of them is shown in position. They should be familiar with checking for rotation and reflection symmetry as this is very important. THis includes: An instruction sheets. 9 Challenges across 8 Worksheets Blank Grids Full solutions in both Colour and B/W Solutions for each individual pentomino ALL the artwork I used to make this resource. Perhaps this could lead to some data analysis work. I have sets of PENTOMINOES, FREE to DOWNLOAD that match the colours used in this resource https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12501085

ANIMALS 2 and 3 PUZZLES ALSO AVAILABLE COMPATIBLE with my PENTOMINOES STARTER KIT (15mm version) in both size and colour of pieces which is also available to download for free. Use the resources to make your puzzles any size. Use with PowerPoints, Displays and they should work on Interactive whiteboards (eg put a puzzle on a notebook slide along with the 12 pentominoes and manipulate into position)

ANIMALS 1 PUZZLES NOW AVAILABLE - COMPATIBLE WITH THIS RESOURCE Make a quality set of pentominoes resources for use in lessons. Included in this starter kit: A colour set of pentominoes ( each individual square is 15mm x15mm) that you print out, fold and glue. When you cut them out you will get a double sided colour version of each piece. FOR BETTER RESULTS print on 300gsm card if you can or even stick a piece of card between the fold. CUT OUT INSIDE THE BLACK LINES. A 20mm x 20mm version of the above over two A4 sheets Black and white versions of both (1) and (2) 4)Two sets per sheet of the black and white version of the 15mm pentominoes but these are not designed to be folded and cut A SET OF GRIDS that can be used to create basic puzzles ALL THE ARTWORK I CREATED which includes high quality 300ppi PNG and PDF’s including individual PENTOMINOES for use in your own projects, lessons, PowerPoints and Displays etc

A SURPRISING TRICKY PUZZLE FOR STUDENTS TO BUILD. Definitely useful for construction skills as well as logical thinking. SOLUTION INCLUDED as well as a 3D view of a completed dice(the puzzle is still not easy if you show them this, on say, a SLIDE. Print a set of the nine different cuboid nets. Construct cuboids Use the constructed cuboids to to construct the dice. The usual rules apply i.e. opposite sides add up to 7, so 6 opposite 1 etc There are 8 variations of dice colour/spot colour. The red /yellow one is ready to print but to save ink just use the white with black spots version or perhaps the outline version and they could colour in the spots with one of theie choice. Another step to a solution would be to use the set of completely blank cuboid nets on which the students could draw on the spots , construct a blank dice, take it apart while noting where the various pieces go.

High quality, COLOURFUL PNG and PDF files FOR use in you own documents, PowerPoints, displays and activities etc. As these are separate files you can make them ANY SIZE you wish, within the limits of what you can print. A blank version of each one is included. D4 1-4 numbered D6 1- 6 spots D8 1-8 numbered D10 0-9 numbered D12. 1-12 numbered D20 1 - 20 numbered

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 10 VERY COLOURFUL WORKSHEETS. ADDITION and SUBTRACTION PRACTICE over a range of difficulties using most of the DIFFERENT types of DICE you can get. e.g. D4, D6, D8, D10, D12 and D20 ( the answer totals do not exceed 30 in most cases) I have based it around a MONSTER theme to link it with some of my other resources.** ANSWER SHEETS ARE INCLUDED** If you are interested ALL my Monster clipart is available for FREE download https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12474182 THE DICE Clipart i have created will be available soon and will include over** 5000** high quality 300dpi PNG’s and PDF files for use in your own projects, Powerpoint and Displays etc.

Multiplication tables that I have printed back-to-back and laminated. One side have X ? ( eg 1x2, 2x2, …10 x2) tables and the other the associated ?X tables( eg 2x1, 2x2…2x10) My daughter asked me to do these for our 3years 7month old grandson who has developed a particular interest in Maths and particularly number. He has used them on virtually a daily basis and even at his young age, knows most of his multiplication tables off by heart, which is amazing.

There are several variations of 1-100 numbers grids included in this resource FOR USE IN YOUR OWN PROJECT/DISPLAYS/ POWERPOINTS etc They are supplied as high quality 300 dpi Transparent PNG’s AND also as PDF’s, and since these are VECTOR based can be any size without losing image quality (if you do use these in MS WORD you have to INSERT>Object rather than insert image. BLACK and WHITE versions as well as BLANK GRIDS of each type are also included - just pick the version most suitable for your needs. To access everything you need to be able to UNZIP the main file.

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 resource is intended to give students an opportunity to experience a different counting system. They should be familiar with the decimal system and may have some knowledge of perhaps, binary. The Mayan’s used base 20 (vigesimal) in their counting system with associated digits ( being made up of a shell shape, a dot and a bar/line) from 0 -19 rather than our 0-9. It really is an exercise in practicing MULTIPLICATION and ADDITION in a different format and a touch of logical thinking. I also have another resource that includes posters and other display items to go with this topic. It also includes a lot of artwork I have produced and used in my Mayan resources that you could use in your own resources if required.
