Algebra jigsaw and answer sheet. Can be used as a review at the end of a lesson. A literacy task where students need to be able to interpret the mathematical symbols to match with the written descriptions. An alternative task can be prepared by copying the answer sheet onto different coloured sheets of paper (enough for half your class) and laminating them. Cut out all the squares from each sheet and place into a small resealable plastic bag. You would then have a class activity for pairs of students that could be reused many times.

A jigsaw with answer sheet to revise numerical indices. Can be used as review at the end of a lesson. An alternative task can be prepared by copying the answer sheet onto different coloured sheets of paper (enough for half your class) and laminating them.

A single sided worksheet with solutions. Students need to be able to work with 24 hour time and a.m. and p.m. time. They need to interpret the timetables and answer questions. (Australian Curriculum) NSW MA3-13MG uses 24-hour time and am and pm notation in real-life situations, and constructs time-lines

This is a set of 4 worksheets with answers reviewing the statistical concepts of range, mode, median and mean. Questions are posed numerically as well as graphically to help the student to think deeply about these concepts. (Australian curriculum) NSW MA4-20SP analyses single sets of data using measures of location, and range

A single page worksheet with answers. Students need to be able to think about the properties of three-dimensional objects and the two-dimensional shapes formed when they are sliced. (Australian Curriculum) NSW MA3-14MG identifies 3-D objects, including prisms and pyramids, on the basis of their properties, and visualises, sketches and constructs them given drawings of different views.

Instructions for students to draw 3-dimensional shapes using Microsoft Word. Teacher's instruction sheet included. Useful activity for students as an ICT or Mathematics lesson or for teachers wishing to improve their computer expertise. (Australian Curriculum) NSW MA3-14MG identifies three-dimensional objects, including prisms and pyramids, on the basis of their properties, and visualises, sketches and constructs them given drawings of different views.

Easy equation solving jigsaw and answer sheet. Can be used as a review at the end of a lesson. An alternative task can be prepared by copying the answer sheet onto different coloured sheets of paper (enough for half your class) and laminating them. Cut out all the shapes from each sheet and place into a small resealable plastic bag. You would then have a class activity for pairs of students that could be reused many times. (Australian Curriculum) NSW MA4-10NA uses algebraic techniques to solve linear and quadratic equations

A single sided worksheet. Students need to think about the different ways to colour the flag design in using only 3 colours. (Australian Curriculum) NSW MA3-2WM selects and applies appropriate problemsolving strategies, including the use of digital technologies, in undertaking investigations

A single sided worksheet with solutions. Students are given 2 pieces of data about each rectangle. They then need to calculate the missing data, using the formula and by problem solving. The worksheet could be used for revision or as a homework assignment. (Australian Curriculum) NSW M4-12MG calculates the perimeters of plane shapes and the circumferences of circles MA4-13MG uses formulas to calculate the areas of quadrilaterals and circles, and converts between units of area

A worksheet with answers that investigates a puzzling (to students) aspect of percentages. Can be used in class or given as a homework activity. (Australian Curriculum) NSW MA4-3WM recognises and explains mathematical relationships using reasoning

Worksheet with worked solutions, that leads students through the calculations to determine the angle sum of regular polygons and their interior angles. (Australian Curriculum) NSW MA4-18MG identifies and uses angle relationships, including those related to transversals on sets of parallel lines

This resource consists of 2 worksheets with solutions. Students are working with ratios to mix the same shade of paint each time. They are producing a series of equivalent ratios. Harder questions require them to work backwards. (Australian Curriculum) NSW MA4-7NA operates with ratios and rates, and explores their graphical representation

A single sided worksheet with solutions. Students use multiples of different numbers to observe patterns in the number grid (1 to 100). They use these multiples to eventually determine the prime numbers between 1 and 100. (Australian Curriculum) NSW MA3-4NA orders, reads and represents integers of any size and describes properties of whole numbers

A double sided worksheet with solutions suitable for more abler students or as a Gifted and Talented activity. Students need to think deeply about the numerical statements and test their validity when changes are applied. Order of operations is revised. Calculators could be used, but are not necessary. (Australian Curriculum) NSW MA3-3WM gives a valid reason for supporting one possible solution over another

This is a 3 page resource for teachers of Mathematics to use when they need some new ideas about how to teach a lesson and engage a class successfully. Tips for preparation, rewards for students and different approaches to use with low ability classes are some of the topics covered. Hopefully you can find some new tips or be reminded of some old ones.
