This activity gives students practice at factorising algebraic expressions in which a letter is the common factor. The questions are carefully selected to ensure that students remember to correctly 'take-out' the factor from both terms.

Deciphering this clue reveals where the treasure is hidden! 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 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. Colour coding: I have used colours to indicate the approximate level of the questions: KS2 – red and orange KS3/GCSE Foundation – orange and green GCSE Higher – green, blue and purple 👍If you like this resource, then please rate it and/or leave a comment💬.

Colour coding: All my loop cards are colour-coded to indicate the approximate level of the questions: KS2 – red and orange KS3/GCSE Foundation – orange and green GCSE Higher – green, blue and purple Further information: In this download there are four sets of similar cards and a student chooses one of the sets and sorts them into order by answering the questions. Then they try to do it faster using a different set, which has the same questions, but a different sort order 😃 My favourite use of loop cards is for two students to have different versions of the cards and race each other. They then check their answers, shuffle, swap packs and race again (quickest overall time wins). More instructions are included in the download. Cut out card size is approx. 65 x 90 mm. 👍If you like this resource, then please rate it and/or leave a comment💬.

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 familiarise students with the triangle numbers, 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.

Aimed at KS1, this is a really good activity for getting students to do lots of adding (and some subtracting). It is ideal as a starter or plenary, but it is quite easy to extend it by modifying the starting number and/or the numbers which the students must add or subtract. I have included worksheets set at three different levels, each with a relevant extension – a sheet of blank grids are provided in case of mistakes or for you to set an even more challenging spiral for your Superstars. I have also copied each of the spirals and the full solutions into a PowerPoint so that it is easy for you to display on screen. When a student finishes a spiral you can get them to circle the even numbers, or numbers bigger than (for example) ‘20’ , or number with (for example) a ‘4’ in them. Other extensions include selecting numbers (maybe the corner numbers) and getting students to write them as words, or to add them together – depending upon the age/capabilities of your particular class.

These worksheets (with solutions) help students take the first steps and then strengthen their skills and knowledge of Factorising Expressions in which the common factor is a letter. Questions are carefully planned so that understanding can be developed, misconceptions can be identified and so that there is progression both across and down each sheet. Interactive versions of these sheets are available at https://www.maths4everyone.com/skills/factorising-2264.html The interactive version allows individual questions to be selected for enlarged display onto a screen. The answer can then be worked out ‘live’ by the teacher (or student) or a single click will reveal my solution. This not only helps in class, but it is also very useful for a student who is revising at home.
