These 30 follow me cards are a great way to revise compound and reverse percentages. It includes questions asking students to work backwards on a percentage problem in order to find the original amount, and covers increasing and decreasing values. Also included are and compound interest and depreciation questions.
There are two possible starting cards, offering some differentiation.
Play is similar to dominoes, where the cards are placed end to end with the question to the answers, but each question only has one answer. Students connect the questions and answers together forming a chain, with questions steadily getting harder.
A calculator is recommended for the final 15 questions at least.

Some ideas for how to use follow me cards:
Have students race to connect the cards.
Have a treasure hunt, around the classroom or outside. Students start with the starter card and record the solutions in the table.
Students each take ownership of a card, and then get themselves in line correctly with the answers. If there are more than 30 students, assign some students as ‘managers’. If there are less than 30 students, the first students to connect their cards can be given the remaining cards.
Cut each card in half and give the students a matching activity. They can then glue the answers into their books.
For an advanced start, begin on page two of the record sheet (the first card number is given).

This pack contains a set of 20 questions on the subject of Algebra all with a Christmas theme. Each is differentiated 4 ways, giving a total of 80 cards.
The questions include simple real life situations, nth term questions and sequences, working with simple algebraic equations, and geometry related questions. The cards introduce the idea that algebra has a function in the real world, providing a strong base for the continued learning of Algebra.
Each question is differentiated in 4 ways across 4 cards. The easiest are the Red Questions and then the Yellow. The Green cards offer a little more challenge by asking additional questions, and finally the Challenge cards are designed to push the most able.
As a teacher or tutor, you may want to allow your students to choose which level of the same question they want to try. Or, you may want to dictate which level each student should try. These task cards work great as time fillers at the end of lesson, or as homework. You can also use them in the classic game Scoot, as a student answer sheet is included.
This free download is brought to you in collaboration with Number Loving and it combines two fully differentiated resources covering drawing, reading and interpretation of pie charts.
The first is a pack of six worksheets by LittleStreams the first four are of increasing difficulty drawing pie charts from tables and another two worksheets of increasingly difficulty drawing pie charts from bar charts. Solutions are provided for each worksheet. The second pack in this free download is a treasure hunt on reading and interpreting pie charts, it is differientated to three levels were the green (hardest) level is suitable for GCSE Higher. Each level consists of ten questions. Again the solutions are provided for teacher reference.

*4 Levels of Differentiation
*Red, Yellow, Green & Challenge
This pack is filled with worksheet activities covering combining like terms, expand and factorise expressions and substitution. All worksheets are differentiated to three levels, offering supported worksheets, as well as worksheets which challenge the most able students. Answer sheets are also included for all worksheets.
Term Trees introduce students to like terms, the essential knowledge needed to successfully combine like terms. Combing Terms Pyramid then puts this knowledge into practice. Geometry in Algebra goes one step further, and applies combining terms knoeledge to geometry scenarios.
The final combining like terms worksheet is a fun activity; a crossword. Students collect terms on a worksheet, and then put their answers in the crossword sheet. Each differentiated worksheet has the same questions, but to make things easier for some students, we have included some terms in spaces to give a clue. This is also great for self checking answers.
The next two worksheets focus on expanding and factorising, and is a standard worksheet with questions on both expanding brackets and factorising terms with one set of brackets (linear equations). For the challenging questions, this includes simple quadratics with one bracket; ie x(x+2). The second of these worksheets is an unusual activity combining area of shapes as a form of setting up equations to then factorise.
The final two worksheets looks at substitution. The first consists of a grid; the rows gives the value of x and y, and the columns give the expression to be substituted. The second is a collection of questions about substitution which includes an applied question to do with the temperature conversion equation and knowledge of commutative expressions.
All the worksheets in this pack focus on the essential manipuation skills of algebra needed to work with algebra effectively.

These clip cards are a great way to test students’ ability to find fractions of objects using a physical multiple choice system. It includes 36 cards covering questions from ‘half of’ to ‘four fifths of’. The given possible answers have been carefully chosen to allow teachers to spot any misconceptions students may have about the topic.
The idea of this activity is that students work out the answer to a given question, then clip a clothespin/ peg or a paperclip to what they think is the correct answer.
This activity works equally well when the cards are laminated. Students simply circle the correct answer using a dry erase marker. Alternatively, you can print these on paper, hand out to your class at the end of the lesson, so they can put their names on and circle the correct answer, serving as a great exit ticket/plenary to the lesson.
These cards are in colour, but print equally well in grey scale for cost savings.
This is also included in our Arithmetic Bundle discount, available here.
