Simple intro to translations. Describe movement of car around track using translations. Draw own track and do the same. Promethean flipcharts (old and new versions) and worksheet.

Short, scaffolded worksheet for adding and subtracting fractions. For low ability group

Set out algebraically (rather than using picture puzzles). Finding solutions with limits (eg. only positive integers). Challenge questions are (implicitly) simultaneous. Used with bright Y6 group.

Structured for more straightforward simultaneous equations. Just adding or subtracting. (No need to scale.)

A set of 8 graphs to 'talk' through (use mini-whiteboards?) to recognise intercept and gradient

6 pairs to match. 3 with full dimensions (one unit conversion needed). 3 with end area and missing length, but should be able to match by eliminating possibilities. Find missing dimension for last three (all integer values).Quick starter/plenary.

Nine sets of cards to match with graph, equation and pair of coordinates. 4 with same gradient, 3 same intercept, two negative gradient. 3/4/14 I've recently uploaded a PowerPoint on the same topic as a separate resource

Find the missing number given mean and other numbers. Find mean of combined data sets.\n\nCould use with mini-whiteboards as each step animated.\n\n(16/6/14 added WALT and starter)

Flash card (or other) quiz as summary or check-in for 4 basic transformations. 10 Qs. Centre rotation/enlargement not covered or vector form for translation.

Quick set of 8 questions (x3) for multiplying mixed numbers. Answers provided.

Explanation plus 4 scaffolded questions for how to find the nth term of a quadratic sequence. Answers on separate PDF.

Quick, multiple choice, summative quiz. Can use coloured flash cards or whiteboards to get responses. Reverse percentage to finish.

Extract discrete data from a bar chart and use to find mean, median, mode and range. Starts by considering a table of data and then two examples of bar charts.

Relatively simple, structured worksheet on using trial and improvement to find square and cube roots to 1 decimal place using second d.p. (Can ignore latter and just find closest to 1 d.p.) 7/3/14 Slightly improved versions replacing originals and another new 'problem'.

Fill-in worksheet introducing correct way to name angles/lines and identifying alternate/corresponding angles. Goes on to get students to identify and then write correct geometric reasons. Answer sheet to match (although student sheet slightly reconfigured since to give correct names for angles). Meant as a reasonably easy introductory resource once key ideas have been explained from the board. Hopefully accessible to my Y7s (Yup!) Second worksheet (with answers) emphasises reasons for each angle

Worksheet generator: 6 sets of 3 randomly generated activities based on key mathematical skills selected by the teacher on single page for printing. Add, subtract, multiply, divide, place value operations, decimals, negatives, BIDMAS, rounding, percentages, fractions... Each pupil in the class is allocated 3 topics to complete in lesson/homework. Idea is to get all 3 questions right for your 3 topics. When pupil gets all 3 questions correct for any given topic, they get a sticker on a pupil record sheet. 3 stickers for that topic means they have mastered it and will not have to do it again :) Warning: Macro-enabled spreadsheet. Macros MUST be enabled when you load the sheet in order to use the navigation and copy/paste buttons. Read the Instructions document for further details. A Teacher Record (for use on your computer) and a Sticker Sheet (to put on your wall) are provided. [12/7/16 Minor improvements/additions]

Powerpoint demonstrating how to divide sums of money in ratio and accompanying scaffolded worksheet with (fairly) straight-forward examples to work out. (10/2/14) Second, slightly harder, worksheet added.

Structured worksheets on decimal places and significant figures. Plus similar style sheet (with less scaffolding) for estimating using 1 significant figure. (d.p. worksheet added 28/1/13)

Worksheet with scaffolding that reduces for each question for expanding double brackets using a “grid multiplication” method.

Example and 5 main questions. Straightforward amounts of money and interest rates for 2 to 4 years. All scaffolded as tables. (Need to be able to find 10%, 5% and 2% using a calculator.) 3 challenge questions where they have to draw out their own tables. Answers provided. (Question 5 and the Challenges have been rounded to pence - use your own judgement regards acceptable values!)
