This is a worksheet generator, each sheet containing one question repeated twice (to fit easily onto one side of A4). Each question has 8 sub questions regarding finding a fraction of the given amount. The given amount is always a highly composite number, and the fractional amounts that you have to find are always integers, and are a mix of proper, imporper, simplified and not simplified fractions. The denominator of some of the fractions can be as large as twenty. Therefore, some of the sub questions require you to find ‘3 twentieths’ of the original value given.

The idea of this game is for students to put the numbers 1-15 in their exercise book, and write the number 1 on line 1 and the number 1000 on line 15. They are then revealed numbers one by one, and their aim is to try and fit all the numbers onto the number line in a chronological order. Once this process is complete you can ask the class who obtained the largest number of correctly ordered numbers. You can change the maximum number to something greater i.e. ‘10000’ or something smaller i.e. ‘300’. Also due to this being an excel worksheet generator there are an infinite number of answers that can be available. This is a great game to end the lesson with and always engages students.

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).

A 144 Powerpoint presentation which I have made to include all teh times tables 1-12. You can choose specific times tables, such as the ‘7 times table’ OR you can test on all the times tables in a random order. Great for using as a whole class activity or for individual use as a homework activity. Every slide includes an answer.

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.

This is a worksheet generator for deducing a missing length of a right angle triangle, given the length of one side and the size of one angle. The worksheet is set up in a way such that all of the variables used in each of the questions are completely unique to the questions. Additionally, there is a variety of different units used within these questions (both metric and imperial) in order to create variety). By the click of a button, such as ‘F9’ or by clicking on the tab which says ‘new worksheet’ and then clicking on the ‘new worksheet’ button a whole new worksheet is generated with matching answers. The answers are given in two forms: unrounded answers, and answers rounded to one decimal place. Every time you generate a new worksheet the variables for each question, unit of measurement and type of problem will differ. This worksheet is great to measure progress over a few lessons, and demonstrate practise makes perfect. Problems include sin, cos, and tan, as well as finding the a variety of missing sides, including the hypotenuse, adjacent and opposite side.

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.

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 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 a set of ‘live drawings’ of various circle theorem examples, all drawn by hand. Each example has ‘teaching notes’ as a possible suggestion of how it can be used in a classroom. All videos are silent maximising classroom participation, by ensuring students are explaining what’s going on in the videos or silently engaging with the visuals. Please leave a review if you found helpful :) Sub topics include: Angles in the same segment, angle at the centre is twice the angle at the circumference, and angles in alternate segments.

Have you had your lessons disrupted because of chat about the latest reality show, or love island… Watch the video below for more information or read: The aim of this timer ‘game’ on excel is to calm students down when they have come into the classroom in a hyperactive manner, such as after break or lunchtime. It is a quick tool to use, but can be very benefitial in its effects on students’ behaviour and encouraging Mathematical minds in a competitive manner. Alternatively it can be used as a tool to get students to get a better feel of ‘time’ by guessing how many seconds have elapsed over a given period of time. The aim is you get students to rest their head on the desks and you start and stop a timer provided for you on excel. This timer can be usefully hidden from prying eyes. After a number of seconds, or perhaps minutes (if your class is particularly lively), teachers can then obtain guesses from the class. These times are then subsequently typed into a column within the spreadsheet, and can later be compared through the click of the button to the actual elapsed time. There are macro buttons for comparing the time. Firstly you can reveal the differences in time between their guess and the actual time, additionally you can click a button to reveal a winner. This gets students to get a better feel for time, understanding the difference between seconds and minutes, ensuring a calm start to the lesson and gets students engaged in a competitive manner.

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 gives you an infinite possible questions at a click of the ‘new worksheet’ button on every tab. Free worksheet version of this is TES RECCOMENDED! https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/ks3-percentage-bubbles-calculator-non-calculator-8-free-problems-11871070 Each of the questions involve an extension question, in which students sum all of their answers, and check it matches the correct answer for the sum. This is a fantastic feature of the worksheet, as the students can ensure that their answers are correct without unnecessary intervention from the teacher. These sheets have 8 bubbles in total for each question, giving a total of 64 sub-questions. The differing percentages you need to find are consistent for the top left and bottom left problems i.e. for all these problems you need to find 75%, 30%, 50% etc. of the original value. However, these percentages are in a random order for each question. The right hand side problems requires you to find more specific percentages, which will generally require the use of a calculator (but can be done without a calculator). Moreover, the bottom right problem requires you to find percentages greater than 100% as well as less than 100%, which can nicely lead students onto understanding the importance of multipliers in the topic percentages. Due to using highly composite numbers, the resulting amounts, are generally whole numbers. Please review if you found helpful :D

Ideal starter for KS3, although could be used for younger or older as differentiation available. The general concept has been derived from a function machine. You start with 9 input numbers, which needs to go through an operation. The operation for this specific function machine is to find fractions of amounts. So you need to find five sixths of 30 for example. There are a total of four operations 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. The picture provided demonstrates the answers to one of the potential worksheets. You click on the arrow tab for a new worksheet OR alternatively the ‘delete’ button.

Ideal starter for KS3, although could be used for younger or older as differentiation available. 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. The operation for this specific function machine involves four operations, and negative numbers. So you start with 6 and then ‘x6 +2’. 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.

This worksheet has been designed predominantely for KS3, there are 3 options in terms of the worksheet tabs. Each worksheet contains 8 linking division problems. The first tab is designed to optimise printing because there are 4 worksheets on one side of A4, the second tab gives you a question sheet (varying difficulty) and the third tab provides the answers. This is a worksheet generator so you can have an inifinite number of questions with matching answers. The idea is you start with a number at the top of the wheel, and you have to work out what you need to divide this number by to get to the number below - ultimately finding a missing number in a division equation. The process of this worksheet specifically involves students asking themselves how they get from one number to another by dividing. For example, in the example in the left picture students would ask themselves how they get from: 720 to 360 (divide by 2) 720 to 144 (divide by 5) 720 to 72 (divide by 10) 360 to 45 (divide by 8) 72 to 9 (divide by 8) 144 to 36 (divide by 4) 36 to 9 (divide by 4) 45 to 9 (divide by 5) • Division worksheet generator • Variety of smaller and larger numbers used as the largest number. • Matching answers • Easy to use, quick to print! • Compact on printing (3 sheets per A4) • Structure of sheet stays the same so good measuring progress / increasing consistency.* If you want a free sample of this visit: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/division-wheel-3-worksheets-with-answers-starter-11867451

A 144 Powerpoint presentation which I have made to include all the numbers which are divisible by 1-12, which are between 1-144. You can choose specific division, such as ‘Division by 7’ OR you can test on all of these in a random order. Great for using as a whole class activity or for individual use as a homework activity. Every slide includes an answer. Clear instructions included. Really good to create a competitive, yet useful learning environment for the students.

The aim of this worksheet is to answer 8 questions at the bottom of the sheet and they should link to 8 answers above. All 8 answers above link either horizontally or vertically. The path always starts at the top left cell of the grid and it will finish in the bottom right position of the grid. The students should then label their grid path with steps 1-8, with the top left always being 1 and the bottom right always being 8. Finally the students need to copy the numbers from the grid above and match with their answers in the final right column (Section of Loop). This provides an 8 digit code which makes it easy for the teacher to mark. For 30 of these files on different topics see: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-12756825
