Plotting and Identifying Coordinates (Iron Man, Minion, Heart, Dragon & Bat Logo)

(0)
A set of 5 different pixelated images to create by joining coordinates. These resources are very popular on the TES and I decided to make my own for my students as I enjoy doing them just as much as they do. Included are: a heart, a ‘minion’ (from the ‘Despicable Me’ films), the ‘bat logo’, a Dragon (for St. George's Day) and ‘Iron Man’. All images include both a 1st quadrant only and all 4 quadrants set of coordinates so you can differentiate for your students’ abilities. All answers included

Averages from a Frequency Table.Worksheet.KS3, 4.

(0)
This is a worksheet I created based on the goals scored of 4 teams in the Premier League during the 2011-2012 season. The class work out the mean, median, mode and range goals scored for each from the frequency tables given. Blank columns are given for the students to use, this could easily be differentiated for lower ability classes.
Mathematics 4 pics 1 word - Circles

Mathematics 4 pics 1 word - Circles

(0)
This is another of my 4 pics 1 word resources that I have created having been inspired by @reflectivemaths and @srcav. The words in this presentation are radius, arc, sector, segment and chord. Good for literacy across the curriculum. I use these with mini whiteboards as a starter activity - students write down the word and their definitions. Diff by revealing/not revealing the letters for each set of 4 pics.
Mathematical Concepts Wall Display

Mathematical Concepts Wall Display

(0)
This is an idea I got from the Wellcome Collection in Euston. Students choose one or two of the words on the reverse of the card (will need to be printed double sided) and then these get displayed on the wall display - A display created solely by students having printed off the cards!

Mathematical Advent Calendar Template

Mathematical Advent Calendar Template

(0)
This is a template I created for students to create their own Mathematical advent calendar. The idea is that you print off the front sheet, students cut around the dashed lines to open the 'doors&', they then stick this sheet onto a blank piece of the same sized paper. Then, they write mathematical calculations, sums, equations etc on the &';doors', the answers to which will be the numbers 1-25. They then write jokes, fun facts, pictures etc in the &'doors&';. Let me know what you think.
A Seasonal Snowman Investigation (Listing Outcomes)

A Seasonal Snowman Investigation (Listing Outcomes)

(0)
A seasonal/end of term investigation that looks at listing (systematically) all possible outcomes of successive events. All resources needed are including the ppt file & blank snowman templates to use for display work. Extension tasks and all answers are provided. There are two different approaches to the same task included in the resource too so you can choose what best fits your students. Complete with plenary activity, seasonal music and animations.
Mathematical Plenary Sticks

Mathematical Plenary Sticks

(0)
A set of 100+ Plenary questions/tasks to use in your Mathematics lessons. Print, cut up and laminate each page of this resource before hole punching and binding the ‘sticks’ together for plenty of use in your lessons. Included in the resource, in addition to the 100+ questions/tasks are blank ‘sticks’ for you to create your own questions/tasks, plus suggestions as to how best use this resource with your students.

Mathematics Revision Cards/Activities Book

(0)
A 39 page resource of the revision cards/activities I have used with my classes when finishing topics or when revising for exams. Included in the resource are templates for you/your students to create your own revision cards. There are over 10 different revision cards to create/use. I have also provided examples/pictures of cards I have made, and some they have created too! All instructions to create each card are included in the resource.

Takeaway Homework Menu - Mathematics

Takeaway Homework Menu - Mathematics

(0)
This is my 'takeaway homework' menu I give to my students. The pdf contains a ready to print version of the menu to give straight to students. The idea is that they choose any task to complete for their homework from the menu. I set these homeworks over a half term and students have to earn a set amount of 'chillies' in these weeks. On the ppt file I have an editable version of the menu for you to change my name etc to suit your students - this can then be printed as above. I also have many examples of work from my students to use for inspiration as to what can be created. There are also some display logos and ideas from my current display board in the word doc. See my blogs below for more details! http://goo.gl/hSj1ER http://goo.gl/s6YAln I love this approach to homework and so do my students.
Constructions Comics
paulcollinspaulcollins

Constructions Comics

(0)
2 sets of engaging comics containing the constructions needed at KS3 and KS4. The first comic contains perpendicular line and angle constructions; the second contains the triangle constructions (SSS, SAS, ASA). Students follow the instructions on the comics to complete their constructions leaving you time to help those students that require a bit more support. There is a triangle constructions worksheet included, as well as an index in the teacher instructions to easily find the construction you are teaching.

Calculator Skills Questions for GCSE Calculator Paper Revision

Calculator Skills Questions for GCSE Calculator Paper Revision

(0)
I have put together these sets of questions for students to practise their calculator skills ahead of the GCSE Calculator Paper. The questions involve students typing in a calculation into their calculators, writing down all the digits on their calculator display and then rounding their answers to a given number of either decimal places or significant figures. I aim to use these as a starter in each lesson/revision session leading up to the calculator paper. Answers included.
