This is a fantastic resource created to be used regularly as a starter to really boost students' confidence in their numeracy skills. The resource is created in excel to provide randomly generated questions for the old level 3 and 4 topics on the numeracy curriculum. There are 13 sets of 10 progressively more difficult questions. As the questions are randomly generated, the resource can be used over and over again and the answers can be revealed through the toggle buttons. There's also a record sheet at the start that can be used to keep track of progress. Topics include: Level 3 Money - calculating change Ordering whole numbers Addition Subtraction Addition & subtraction across zero Division Fractions - making a whole Adding & subtracting fractions Level 4 Short multiplication Rounding to 10, 100, 1000 Multiplying & dividing by 10, 100, 1000 Short division Equivalent fractions

A quick PowerPoint I use with a new class to encourage them that being good at maths requires them to be willing to give it a go and not be afraid of getting stuck!

A worksheet for students to practice using scales. Students have to measure the pictures and then use the scale to find the real-life object’s size. Calculator required! Answers provided.

A two page worksheet to practice and reinforce learning on Nets of Cuboids. Questions progressively advanced from identifying nets and how they fold together to drawing nets of cuboids. Answers included. Feedback welcome - thanks Jamie

A infinite primary or secondary maths starter activity to engage and get brains warmed-up! Pupils must begin with the starter number then perform the operations to arrive at a final answer. Questions are randomly generated so can be used time and time again. There are three levels of difficulty ranging from simple addition and short multiplication up to short division and fractional increase. Final answer is revealed using the embedded buttons. Pupils love the competition element of this fun starter activity.

This is a infinite resource created to be used regularly as a starter to really boost students' confidence in their numeracy skills. The resource is created in excel to provide randomly generated questions for almost every topic on the numeracy curriculum. There are 37 sets of 10 progressively more difficult questions, covering topics from (old) level 3 to level 8. As the questions are randomly generated, the resource can be used over and over again and the answers can be revealed through the toggle buttons. There's also a record sheet at the start that can be used to keep track of progress. Topics include: Level 3 Money - calculating change Ordering whole numbers Addition Subtraction Addition & subtraction across zero Division Fractions - making a whole Adding & subtracting fractions Level 4 Short multiplication Rounding to 10, 100, 1000 Multiplying & dividing by 10, 100, 1000 Short division Equivalent fractions Level 5 Adding & subtracting decimals Long multiplication Multiplying & dividing decimals by 10,100,1000 Multiplying decimals Dividing decimals Long division Simplifying fractions Mixed → Improper fractions Improper → Mixed fractions Fractions of amounts Adding & subtracting directed numbers Multiplying directed numbers Dividing directed numbers Simplifying ratios Order of operations Squares, cubes & roots Level 6 Percentage of an amount Decimal → percentage → fraction Fraction → percentage → decimal Adding fractions Rounding to decimal places Sharing in a ratio Percentage increase and decrease Multiplying fractions Dividing fractions Rounding to significant figures Level 8 Standard form → Regular number Regular number → Standard form

Practice questions slide with answers. Teaching slide: area of a trapezium formula. Teaching slide: volume of a pyramid formula. Practice questions slide with answers. Teaching slide: Einstein's formula. Practice questions slide with answers. Choice of two plenaries to round off the lesson.

PowerPoint presentation containing everything to teach the topic 'Finding the midpoint of a Line Segment'. Choice of two starter exercises to ensure students have the background knowledge needed for the lesson. Animated teaching slide. Key Point slide with the key learning point. Practice questions and extension. Plenary question at the end and additional mini whiteboard questions if required. NC level 5 GCSE grade E.

This PowerPoint is intended to provide the structure and material to teach a whole lesson on Function Machines and Inverse Operations. The lesson includes the following parts: starter to introduce inverse operations, activity using function machines beginning with the input, introduction to reversing a function machine to find the input beginning with the output, exercises practicing this skill, using function machines and inverse operations to solve problems exercise, plenary.

This is a full lesson covering Scale Drawing. It takes the student through understanding the concept of scale and proportion, using scales to producing scale drawings. The lesson comprises: Engaging starter to stimulate ideas around the topic. Two teaching slides on proportion and understanding how to read a scale expressed as a ratio. Three illustrated slides showing how to use the scale to find dimensions. Two slides of differentiated practice questions (with answers!) Two extra slides of mixed questions (with answers). Two further slides around creating own scale drawings. One project slide on producing a scale drawing of the school grounds. Plenary drawing out the main learning points. 16 slides in total This lesson could be squeezed into one hour or delved into more fully over two lessons, particularly if the students are producing their own scale drawings. Feedback welcome. Thanks Jamie

A complete lesson taking pupils through learning how to draw the nets of cuboids. The PowerPoint includes: Starter activity, entry activity, animated teaching slides, plenty of differentiated practice questions, a challenge activity and choice of plenaries to use. My students always love this lesson. If you have time have students draw the nets on square paper, cut out and fold together so they can easily see if they have drawn them correctly. Feedback warmly welcomed. Thanks Jamie

A complete lesson on solving equations when there are unknowns on both sides of the equals sign. Suitable for KS3 higher ability and GCSE intermediate to higher ability.

PowerPoint presentation primarily aiming to give students practice plotting quadratic equations. The lesson however also encourages the students to first think how the next equation they are plotting differs from the first and then predict how its shape will differ on the graph. The lesson therefore also introduces graph transformations. Included are screen prints of the resulting graphs the students will plot. The lesson is also duplicated using cubic equations for the more able students.

A complete 2 part lesson to introduce students to plotting the graphs of equations. PowerPoint is animated with answers appearing on the screen. Lesson one has: Starter activity plotting co-ordinates Introduces the students to lines parallel to the axes on the co-ordinate grid. Differentiated activity drawing and naming lines parallel to the x and y axis. Plenary Lesson two has: A starter using co-ordinates in all four quadrants. Main teaching point; plotting an equation by first creating co-ordinate pairs from the equation. Differentiated activity giving the students four equations to plot by themselves. Plenary Both lessons are aimed at students working at GCSE level 4.
