To play this Maths game, students need to know the following: multiples digits prime numbers square numbers making a calculation using one operator (+, -, x, ÷) using bingo cards Designed by James Muldoon (11) and Barbara Muldoon.

An 11 slide PowerPoint that uses Couch to 5K as a context for thinking about time, distance and speed. The cards and tables of each C25K session are useful to initiate class conversations about components of speed and how to go about getting fitter. Ratio and percentages can also be explored using this context. The correct answers are included and there is a spreadsheet containing the constructed charts which can be edited. A free pdf version of the slides without answers can be downloaded from here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-12850965

A PowerPoint of 10 slides introducing the concept and based on the relevant chapter in “How I wish I’d taught maths”, Craig Barton, 2018, chapter 11.

A 28 slide PowerPoint that provides examples of CAT4 assessment tasks and answers. CAT4 assessments consist of verbal reasoning – thinking with words; quantitative reasoning – thinking with numbers; non-verbal reasoning – thinking with shapes and spatial ability – thinking with shape and space. Many schools use CAT4 to provide ‘predictions’ for GCSE results. Four sets of practice assessment questions are provided plus additional questions. These questions should be practiced by students so they understand the patterns and inner logic of the four reasoning areas away from the pressure of sitting at a computer with the assessment about to begin, and the clock about to count down. A free pdf is available and can be downloaded here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12785220

Update October 2024. A macro enabled spreadsheet that provides visible representations of multiples and factors. Use drop-down menus to select integers to show factors and multiples highlighted in 1-100/1-200 number squares. One square shows the multiples of the first integer. Another shows the multiples of the second integer. The third shows the multiples of both. The same is shown for factors. There are 10 sheets: a) FactorsA - factors of all numbers from 2 up to 200. Show visibly why only integers to half-way are required b) Factors B - factors of all numbers from 2 up to 200, colour coded showing prime and square numbers c) F&M - factors & multiples side by side in two 1-200 number grids d) O&E - even & odd numbers shown in a 1-200 number grid e) PF - prime factors of three numbers as tiles f) HCF2 - factors of two integers, showing HCF (three 1-100 grids) b) HCF3 - factors of three integers, showing HCF (seven 1-100 grids) c) LCM2a - multiples of two integers, showing LCM (three 1-100 grids) d) LCM2b - multiples of three integers, showing LCM (seven 1-100 grids) e) LCM3 - multiples of two integers, showing LCM (one 1-1050 grid) Macros must be enabled. The sheets are protected so students/teachers can only type in integers in the correct cells. They can be easily unprotected to make changes. I would welcome any suggestions for improvement.

An audit tool to use alongside the Ofsted research review of Mathematics. Maths Departments can use the tool to either audit the extent the department cover the identified features or audit how important the department views the features. It enables Maths teachers and departments to identify areas of the review they think are important to address before homing in on the research of the relevant areas. A self-evaluation tool assists to analyse and to assess the impact or use of the review.

A 46 slide PowerPoint that introduces or utilises many mathematical concepts. Mainly for post-primary settings but elements could be used in primary. A free pdf can be downloaded here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-12555186 There is at least a months material for lessons and will be useful for revision classes or an introduction to the concepts involved. Please review it if you download it and do put it to good use. The PowerPoint allows the teacher to introduce the key ideas to students via animated slides. Most of the ideas are easier to access through animation and slow reveal. There are answers for most problems in the slides notes. These are the concepts covered: Match Combinations: generalisations, combinations, multiplicative reasoning Two-way grids: preparation for simultaneous equations Comparing texts: data handling, sample sizes, mode, range Direction and distance: compass directions, left and right directions, absolute, relative Rectangle: area, perimeter, asymptotes Square patterns: 1. multiplicative reasoning, graphs, tables, algebraic manipulation, sequences, linear, quadratic Dissecting a square/rectangle: tangram, square, parallelogram, triangle, proportion, percentages Problems about perimeter and area: area, perimeter Ratio and proportion mystery: percentages, ratio, proportion, average (mean) House swap: interpreting distance-time graph Probability mystery: probability, card sort Fractions mystery: fractions, card sort Venn diagrams: factors, multiples, prime numbers Broken window: logic Shikaku: introduction and development Three problems: algebraic reasoning Logic puzzle: introduction to this type of reasoning What’s it worth?: preparation for simultaneous equations Wacky races: ordinal and time logic puzzle, card sort Sudoku Znorlian: binary, sequences, card sort Roofs: algebraic reasoning Antidotes: ratio, percentages, fractions Percentage paradox: introduction to Simpson’s paradox Probability investigation: tally table, sequence of outcomes Card trick: binary, base 2 place value headings
