Mostly secondary maths resources here but you will find the odd English number sashaying in with jazz hands, occasionally followed by a primary resource cartwheeling behind. The resources are a mix of those I've used for tutoring (could be any age, any subject), those I've used in my training and those I've used in the classroom. As well as a few ideas that I needed to get out at 3am even though I have no use for them right away.

6 Second Starter - Addition/Subtraction/Multiplication/LCM

(0)
The slides automatically progress after around 10 seconds (adjust the time you tell the class if needed, I find 6 seconds gives them the amount of urgency needed to focus and settle!) This resource was originally used at the start of a lesson on adding/ subtracting fractions as it helps recall all the needed skills. The questions in each set get progressively more difficult allowing for challenge at each stage. Works well for KS2/3 and SEND

Area of a Circle - Discovery Task

(0)
By using the “count the squares” method, pupils are able to discover the area of a circle. This circle is on a cm square grid, enabling them to get a good estimate of the area of the circle which can then be used to consider in relation to pi. I always like to reward the person who can get closest to the “calculator answer”.

This 10 page sample of the full Times Table Workbook has a variety of activities to allow young learners to practice their newly acquired 2x table knowledge independently. Upon mastery of each times table skill, students are rewarded with a certificate that they can colour in and write their name on to truly celebrate their achievement. Also features the ever popular Times Tables Game within each section so children can work together or with siblings/ parents to roll the dice and reinforce their knowledge.
