This is four different whole class activities practicing times tables.
There are four versions of the same game, with increasing difficulty:
- easy multiplication, up to 7 x 7.
- slightly harder multiplication, up to 8 x 8 or 9 x 7.
- all multiplication up to 9 x 9, with few easy questions
- all multiplication up to 12 x 12.
This is a free-standing resource on fractions, decimals and percentages
It involves recognising groups of identical values like 1/10, 0.1 and 10% up to groups like 4/25, 8% and 0.08.
It's taken from a Murder Mystery Package I wrote hence it includes a small riddle element at the end. There are two levels of difficulty (A is easier than B) that both have the same solution.
Full solutions included.
A Powerpoint with some introductory distance-speed-time questions, then an activity for group work:
Each group is travelling from Glasgow to London via a different method of transport
- plane
- train
- car
- coach
- cycle
-walk
A series of questions to practice learning about the straight line.
Each one is based on a real life linear relationship, which pupils investigate.
For a good class will take about an hour to do thoroughly
Skills used:
- drawing graph from data points
- working out the gradient
- working out the y-intercept
- working out the equation of a line from the graph
- using the equation to interpolate missing points
Full solutions included
Two pages of simplification, beginning easy (finding fractions equivalent to 1/2) and building up to more difficult questions (simplify 14/49).
The aim is to highlight the similarity between finding equivalent fractions and simplifying, so pupils will recognise that they are really the same thing.
Good for lower ability classes.
A series of four worksheets about domain, range and composite functions. There is many lessons work here with lots of practice.
The four parts are:
- Domain and Range
- Composite Functions
- Further Functions (combining domain, range, composite)
- Extension (proofs about linear functions)
All provided with full solutions
This is a free-standing resource on addition and subtraction of decimals
It involves additions like 1.3 + 2.8 and 1.3 - 0.34

Includes revision materials, a practice test, and a resit test if required.
Tired of BODMAS? Try some exciting challenges!
The first involves solving some problems and getting some letters, unscrambling them to find a city. Then you can make up your own.
The second is dome tricky expressions.
The third explores and unusual relationship between squares and cubes, which only works if you get your BODMAS correct.
Three Power Points introducing forming and solving equations in a fun context.
The first leads pupils to an equation like x + 5
The second leads pupils to an equation like 2(x+5)
The third is more complicated and involves x on both sides of the equation
A powerpoint-activity to learn and revise about vectors.
There's been a robbery! Can you help Inspector Vector solve the crime by collecting clues? This is a fun activity for groups that includes:
- adding and subtracting 2D and 3D vectors
- finding the magnitude of 2D and 3D vectors
- adding and subtracting vectors like a and b
- some practice with surds for magnitude of vectors
- visualizing vectors in 3D
- using some logic to solve the crime
Solutions to each clue included in the Power Point notes.
