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.

This worksheet (with solutions) helps students strengthen their skills and knowledge of BiDMAS. Questions are carefully planned so that understanding can be developed, misconceptions can be identified and so that there is progression both across and down the sheet. An interactive version of this sheet is available at
https://www.maths4everyone.com/skills/addition-with-multiplication-1321.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 working at home.
These are excellent for one-to-one tutorials and interventions. They are also great when working with small groups or as a starter/plenary for a whole class. For Loop Cards on more than 50 other topics click 👉 tes.com/…/More….
This particular set of cards allows students to practise cancelling down ratios into their simplest form. Note that the questions have been carefully selected so that they provide good coverage of this topic and so that the opportunities for students to guess answers are minimised.
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.

This particular set of cards allows students to practise adding unit fractions in which one of the denominators MIGHT NOT be a multiple of the other. Note that the questions have been carefully selected so that they provide good coverage of this topic and also to minimise the opportunities for students to guess answers.

These display letters can be cut out and used as a colourful choice for titles on display boards or even for bunting. Each letter shows both its rotational symmetry and its line symmetry. The letters are colour-coded so that those of the same symmetry have the same colour and background :-)
I have prepared them for easy printing in three sizes (A5, A6 and A7).<hr>As well as discussing symmetry, other nice activities to do with students include asking:
+“What maths words can be made using only letters which have exactly one line of symmetry?”
+“How many different maths words can be made (at the same time) using only one set of 26 letters?”
+“What’s the shortest sentence, which is the mathematical equivalent of The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog ?”
