I regularly upload resources that I have created during 30 years as a teacher. Most of these are maths, but there are some ICT/Computing and Tutor Time activities. All of the resources are my own and are not available from third-parties. The resources have been tweaked over time and I have had many happy lessons and shed-loads of happy and successful students.
At the end of 2017 the TES announced that I was the most downloaded new author and in 2018 another 2 million were added to the count.

Money is shared between two or three people (Ant, Dec and Nicole) using a variety of ratios. All the different scenarios are covered including the type 'Nicole gets £20 more than Ant, How much does Dec get?'.

A Treasure Hunt is a great activity which children love. They are ideal for revision, starters or plenaries. They are a really great way to get students to answer questions quickly and enjoy doing so.
These question cards have been prepared in two sizes. The large cards can be pinned around around the classroom and used for a whole class activity; the smaller (loop cards) can be used for group work or by individuals – they are particularly helpful for one-to-one tutorials and during interventions.
This activity requires students to look at inequalities on a number line and write them in the form a ≤ x ≤ b.

Can you remember how many Ladies were dancing? I can, thanks to this game 😃.
This is a fun interactive whiteboard game, created in PowerPoint, with nice images and animations. It is suitable for all ages because you can make it as challenging as you want.
---
It is a memory game which is enjoyable for both high and low ability – it helps students to learn what gift was sent on each of the twelve days of Christmas and in its most challenging form, helps them practice techniques to remember where each of the images/descriptions are hidden.
Doing this activity on an interactive whiteboard gets the whole class involved – even when it's not their turn, students are thinking of the next ‘gift’ in their head (or out aloud) and they are desperate to say where it is!
Suggestions for this activity:
1. Click the first button and go through the words of the song, perhaps several times. (after the first time, ask students if they can remember the next image/description before you display it).
2. Click the second button for the ‘Game with Images’. When you press ‘play’ and the board is revealed, press ‘peek’ to look at the uncovered board so that the students can try to learn where each of the images are;
Depending upon the ability of the students, I would go through all of the images on the uncovered board, describing each image out aloud as it is touched (first go through in order from 12 down to 1, then you can do random images and see if the students remember what the image depicts.
3. Now return to the covered board and select a student. The student can try and uncover as many images as they can (in the correct order) before they go wrong.
4. In the beginning, I would allow the student to seek help from another (if they want) or, if they get four right, I might let them ‘peek’ again. (the main point of the game is to get students to learn the order of the 12 Christmas Gifts, so make up any rules that allow them to do this as many times as possible 😃)
NOTES:
• Encourage the students to say aloud the phrase that they are looking for because this reinforces the learning;
• You may like to allow students to make two or three mistakes before they relinquish their turn;
• You may allow a 15 second ‘peek’ after each student has their turn;
• This activity works well as a teacher-led activity in which the class ‘vote’ which square is uncovered next.
• Before it is played as a memory game, you as the teacher could randomly select a square and see if students can remember what image is hidden. Reveal the square to see if they are right and then repeat with a different covered square.
This is a fun interactive whiteboard game, created in PowerPoint, with triggered animations. All my students have loved this activity ('Sir, can we play the chain-game?'). It is enjoyable for both high and low ability – it not only helps students learn the 2, 5 and 10 times-tables, but they also need to remember where the numbers are hidden!

I typically use this activity as a starter and then as a plenary at the end of the lesson. It gets the whole class involved ��� even when it's not a students turn, they are repeating the numbers in their head and they are desperate to say where the next number is!
The way that I play the game:
1. I go through the members of the sequence and ensure that the students are familiar with each of the numbers;
2. When the board is revealed, I give about 15 seconds to ‘peek’ at the uncovered board so that the students can try to learn where the first few numbers are;
3. I then call up the students one-at-a-time to try an uncover as many numbers as they can before they go wrong.
NOTES:
I encourage the students to call out the number that they are looking for because this reinforces the learning.
This activity works very well if you get two students to play against each other – either on the interactive whiteboard or on PCs.
This activity gives students practice at converting decimals to fractions. These are the standard conversions which many students eventually learn.

This workbook has detailed solutions and is great for learning about vectors.

I have used this booklet extremely effectively with students in Y10 and Y11. It completely covers the requirements of GCSE and gives lots of good examples. It starts with column vectors and builds into vector diagrams, finishing with the most typical type of questions that are seen in GCSE exams. Using this booklet, my students have shown a better understanding of vectors than students in parallel classes that have worked through a text book.
Note that the booklet is designed to be printed as A4, but I usually reduce it to A5 and it still does the job.

This is more than just finding words on a grid. The words are not given, they have to get them from the diagrams. There is a moderate and a 'difficult' version so the activity is accessible to all and there are many opportunities for extension. The PowerPoint reveals the solutions one word at a time so you can stop and discuss each shape as you go. Try it and you will see what I mean☺.
This has been used with classes from Year 6 to Year 11 and they have loved it and had many useful discussions.
The activity could be given as a homework as well as used in the classroom. With older students, when I go through the answers I use it as an opportunity to revise the properties of the shapes as well.
---
You can give students as much help as you like, but if you leave them to it…
they have to think about the names of the shapes;
they have to think about the spelling of the names;
they have to look for names that are not represented by the diagrams.
Because the diagrams have been drawn for the students, there is the opportunity to talk about the use of little squares to indicate right-angles, the use of little lines to indicate equal length sides and the use of arrows to indicate parallel lines.
Three additional 2D shapes are hidden in the grid (these are nonagon, decagon and icosagon).
The 3D shapes that are hidden are cone, cube, cuboid, cylinder, pyramid, sphere & tetrahedron.
The solutions to the moderate version are contained within the pdf; the PowerPoint contains the solutions to the ‘difficult’ version.
