This is an engaging, and interactive 5 slide Powerpoint presentation which I made involving cars moving across a cartoon screen. You choose the slide you would like to test the students on and click ‘from current slide’, once the slideshow is full screen and the children are ready to view the animation you press the right arrow key and a ‘go’ symbol will drop from the top of the screen demonstrating the begininning of the process. Various cars will move from left to right, and right to left of the screen, with the aim for students to answer 5 questions such as: What is the sum of all the wheels in this animation? What is the difference in the number of cars going from left to right, in comparison to the cars going right to left What fraction of cars are yellow? What is the ratio of yellow, green and pink cars? What percentage of the cars are orange? To more challenging questions such as: If 10% of wheels get punctured during a journey, what is the expected numbers of wheels to get punctured in this animation? What is the expected probability of the car going from left to the right of the screen? If a customer wants to choose one of these cars at random what is the probability that the car is yellow, give as a fraction? What is the probability of a customer picking a yellow or a pink car, given as a percentage ? What’s the probability of a customer picking an orange car? The cars vary in colour, and starting time, which means the questions can be varied. Easy to edit the questions for yourself. If you found this resource useful please review.

This is an excel spreadsheet which can generate an infinite number of questions involving subtraction. This exercise is particularly suitable for those who need practice with borrowing when subtracting, as every single problem requires you to do this. There are 9 tabs included within this resources, including the subtraction of 2 digits, 3 digits, and 4 digits (or subtraction of numbers in the tens, hundreds and thousands), alongside this are matching answers. Subtraction often involves borrowing ‘from the next door neighbour’ and this drill helps build in practice with the importance of getting this skill correct. I have used this with bottom set year 9s to build their confidence with the operation of subtraction. Please review this resource if you found helpful :)

This worksheet involves 24 questions, which all have either 4 or 6 terms in, which need to be simplified before factorisation into double brackets. When you factorise these expressions, we have both examples of the variable with a coefficient equal to 1, and greater than one. The first section of the worksheet is easier, as it has just 4 terms that need to be factorised, and a coefficient of the variable being 1 in both brackets. Whereas the latter section of the worksheet is more challenging, as it has 6 terms that need to be factorised, and a coefficient of the variable being greater than 1 in at least one of the factorised. There are also harder questions which are attached which involve you having to solve the quadratics, rather than just factorising. This involves setting the equations equal to zero and finding the value of the unknown for two brackets. This worksheet is a generator, providing an infinite number of opportunites for anew worksheet. The worksheet is designed such that all 24 questions, at every click of a ‘new worksheet’ button are unique. That is 24 out of the 26 letters of the alphabet are used for a new worksheet, randomly, creating uniquenes. Furthermore, the signs of this worksheet are changed every time you generate another worksheet. Finally, the order of terms for the latter questions are varied, in order to teach students’ the importance of looking for like terms before collecting terms and simplifying, and finally factorising.

6 differing worksheet tabs are included Printing is simple All answers included This is a worksheet generator testing students’ knowlege on angles within a polygon. There are 6 different worksheet tabs testing on different areas, 5 test on unique questions, and the 6th worksheet tab randomly combines questions from all previous 5 tabs. There are an infinite number of questions, and corresponding answers available, as at the click of a macro button you can generatre a new worksheet. Questions include: ‘If a regular polygon has an exterior angle of…, name the shape?’ ‘If a regular three sided shape has an interior angle of …, what are the remaining interior angles and their exterior angles if they are the same?’ ‘If the angles within a four sided shape are…, what is the other interior angle?’

29 Worksheet Tabs Included! Ideal starter for KS3, although could be used for younger or older as differentiation available. FOUR files are attached as a part of this resource, yet you can create an infinite number of worksheets all with attached solutions. The general concept has been derived from a function machine. You start with 9 input numbers which need to go through two operations, subsequently creating an output. There are a total of four operation pairs, so there up to 36 answers students need to find. Working alongside this is a more challenging sheet, which involves the students using the ‘output’ numbers first to work out the ‘input’ numbers, and hence understanding the importance of working backwards through the operations. Most importantly, both the basic style worksheet and the challenging worksheet work in conjunction with each other, such that they both link to the same solutions, which are provided. You click on the arrow tab for a new worksheet OR alternatively the ‘delete’ button. Topics included are four operations (including negative numbers); percentages of amount, and percentage increase decrease; fractions of amounts, and fraction increase and decrease; and standard. form. Has been used many times successfully within classrooms for year 7s, 8s, and year 9s. Please leave reviews if you found this resource helpful!

A whole lesson I designed for an interview lesson for an year 5 independent school. A great visual way for introducing students into the topic of multiplying fractions. This lesson specifically focuses on multiplying proper fractions with whole numbers. The most engaging part of this lesson is the gifs used during the lesson, and the opportunity for students to really master the topic through the use of pictures. Slideshow is 35 slides long and includes a kinaestetic starter, a kinaestetic group activity, several examples, main worksheet, ‘pit stops’, timers, solutions, audio bites and a plenary. If you have found this useful please leave a review.

This is a puzzle activity involving the four operations used as a starter or a plenary. I have used this with top set year 7 and bottom set year 8, because there are many different difficulty levels as seen by the video. This task acts as a puzzle as the students need to begin at the ‘start’ number and find the finish number, which requires 15 steps. The children start with a number such as ‘23’ and need to apply 15 operations to it, often involving all four operaitons, in order to obtain the finish number. Alternatively another type of worksheet contained within this resource requires children to work out the missing operations between these 16 numbers. There are so many different types of worksheets, generally graded as an easy, medium or hard (green, orange, red) provided at the top of the screen. In addition to this the worksheets provided include negative numbers, positive numbers, large and very small numbers.

This is a 4 tab worksheet generator. The first two tabs regard simplifying 20 different ratios. Some of the ratios are simple to simplify, others are more challenging and others you are unable to simplify. There is a cross over with the easy and hard worksheet, because 11 questions are the same. The harder worksheet generally deals with larger numbers, so involves division of larger numbers to fully simplify the ratios. The third tab involves ratio of amounts, and if you want to you can link this to the first sheet, the easy sheet, because the ratio of amounts you have to find involve the same ratios given by sheet one. If you want different questions for the third sheet [so they don’t link to the first worksheet] you just click the ‘new worksheet’ button. As this is a workhseet generator there is an infinite number of questions that can be generated. Finally, the worksheet has been paired with ‘macro buttons’ making it very easy to reveal the answers of the questions, alongside the questions, within seconds. This means the sheets are great when students are working from the board or working from a worksheet.

This worksheet GENERATOR contains 11 different fraction grids which you need to find the missing fractions in. There are a range of easy, medium, and hard resources, as well as use of all four operations. At a click of a button you can generate a whole new set of 11 worksheets. Each worksheet is a 5x5 grid, where the first row and column provide different fractions as headers. You have to apply different operations to these fractions in order to fill out the remaining 4x4 grid, which falls between these row and column headers. All solutions are included. The easy worksheets for the operation ‘adding’ involve the column and row headers being added together, given the denominator of the resulting fraction. The medium worksheets involve adding the column and row headers, without the hint of the given denominator of the resulting fraction. The hard worksheets, involving having to solve an equation, to work out the resulting fractions which are the row and column headers.

14 slide powerpoint presentation, in which every other slide includes a video. Every other slide is a video of a venn diagram being shaded in, and the remaining slides are videos of the notational answers. You could use this resource in several ways. Firstly you could use the turquoise colour slides to give a Venn diagram notation, such as P(AnB’) and then you could get students to demonstrate their answers in their book. Alternatively you could use the pictoral videos, and ask the students what you think the equivalent notation is.

This is based on my free resource ‘angles within shapes’, and is a very useful generator. Comes with optional ‘hints’ which helps with differentiation. Increasing in difficulty. Been used sucessfully with many classes, including bottom set year 8 (whom of which a student managed to remember this topic within an exam scenario).

Buy here: https://sowl.co/btzuAT This is a massive 14 tab excel spreadsheet. It contains: Two tabs of blank worksheets (multiple on a page). This is particularly useful for a last minute, ready to go starter. For example, if you have these ready and printed, you can generate one of the sheets on the whiteboard, and students can copy the appropriate numbers into the blank grid in order to deduce all of the blank numbers. One tab is for 6x6 grids (quicker starter/worksheet), other tab is for 12 x 12 grids Two tabs of 12x12 grids including repetition within the rows and / or columns. These grids are great at building students confidence, due to the repetition. One sheet is the questions, the other sheet is the answers. Five tabs of 12x12 grids WITHOUT repetition within the rows and/or columns. This means students are tested on all the times table within one worksheet or starter activity. One tab has column and row headers, but doesn’t have any content within the grid itself. The next three tabs are in varying difficulty level: easy, medium, and hard [easy has lots of the numbers within the grid itself already filled out, whereas hard has hardly any numbers]. The last tab is the answers. Three tabs of 6x6 grids WITHOUT repetition within the rows and/or columns. The first tab just contains a grid with NO numbers within the main grid itself. The second tab, my favourite, includes no row or column headers, therefore students have a challenging worksheet, and need to work out through logic to deduce the column and row headers. In some instances there may seem like there is more than one option for the row or column headers, so students need to deduce what is the only correct answer (like sudoku). This second tab, also involves row and column totals to incorporate the topic solving equations. The third tab is the solutions. What is great about the 6x6 grids and the 12x12 grids is that the first 6 rows and columns of the 12x12 grid, have exactly the same solutions as the 6x6 grid itself. One tab of solutions for BOTH of the sheets. This excel spreadsheet has been formatted so that ALL of the worksheets can be deduced form the same 12x12 grid. This is great in order to differentiate effectively. BONUS new worksheet tab. This is great because at a click of this button, or via F9 you can easily generate an infinite number of worksheets.

One of the most popular tools I use as a plenary or a starter with an inifinite number of difficulty levels. Is a tool in order for children to manipulate numbers, using the four operations. The children start with a beginning number, and they have to manipulate the number up to 17 times in order to get an answer. There are three levels of difficulty on this worksheet. And I have found this to be a very exciting starter or plenary activity. It can be used with all different types of age groups, because there is a level of challenge and differentiation depending on the level chosen, the time given to the children. Questions can be revealed on the screen at once or you can slowly give you operations to the students from the board. Please leave a review
