I trained as a teacher of secondary Mathematics and evolved into a Computing teacher as well. I offer mainly Mathematics resources written for the current Australian Curriculum (NSW). Luckily Mathematics is recognisable all over the world, so I hope that teachers in different countries can use some of my work.

Fractions Decimals Percentages 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.

A worksheet with worked solutions.
Students need to use a pronumeral to represent the unknown number They then need to write an equation and solve it to find the value of the unknown number.
(Australian Curriculum) NSW MA4-8NA generalises number properties to operate with algebraic expressions
A double sided worksheet with solutions.
