Bundle
Fractions and Percentages - Big Bundle
A bundle full of activities to support revision of fractions and percentages.
Large discount when purchased as a bundle.
The Little Book of Fractions
Useful for any revision lesson on fractions. The little book of fractions summarises:
- how to simplify fractions
- how to find equivalent fractions
- how to convert from a mixed number to improper fraction
- how to convert from an improper fraction to a mixed number
- how to find a fraction of an amount
Students can make the little book themselves and then stick in their notebooks as a revision tool. For each topic, there is a step-by-step example and then questions for students to try.
Included in your purchase is a pdf template of the foldable and a pdf of instructions (including answers).
Add, Subtract, Multiply and Divide Fractions - Colour by Number Activity
This is a fun way for students to revise how to add, subtract, multiply and divide fractions using a famous artist (Niki de Saint Phalle) colouring sheet.
Students identify the solution to each question in one of the three answer boxes. They then find the question number on the colouring sheet and colour the section in the colour that corresponds to their answer.
Included in your purchase is a question sheet, answer sheet and colouring sheet. I print this as an A5 booklet (also included) so that students can then glue this into their notebooks.
Students can also mark their answers by comparing their colouring sheet to the original artwork. An engaging way for students to learn about fractions operations and art!
Factors Pick Flip Check
Kids will love this Pick, Flip & Check activity. They use a paper clip or clothes peg to clip the factors of the number in the centre of the card. Then they flip the card over to check their answers!
A fun way for kids to practice factors. Plus no marking for you! Included in your purchase are FIVE activities - finding factors of 16, 18, 24, 36 and 55 (as shown on cover image).
How to assemble:
- print on card*
- cut around the edge
- fold in half and glue the two halves together.
*or paper and then laminate once folded.

Circumference of a Circle - Colour by Number Activity
This is a fun way for students to revise finding the circumference of circles using a famous pop artist (Francisco Ceron) colouring sheet.
Questions ask students to (1) find the circumference of a circle when given the radius or diameter, (2) find the perimeter of parts of a circle (e.g. semi- and quarter- circle) and (3) find the radius or diameter when given the circumference.
Students identify the solution to each question in one of the three answer boxes. They then find the question number on the colouring sheet and colour the section in the colour that corresponds to their answer.
Included in your purchase is a question sheet, answer sheet and colouring sheet.
Students can also mark their answers by comparing their colouring sheet to the original artwork. An engaging way for students to learn about circumference and art!

CSI Algebra - Writing and Using Formulae
Here’s a real life CSI application of algebra for your students…
Students have to solve a murder investigation using formulae (writing and substituting). They have to gather evidence at three locations: the crime scene, mortuary and forensic laboratory. Once they have collected their evidence, they examine a suspect list to identify the murderer.
Crime scene – The suspect has left muddy boot prints at the crime scene. Students have to measure the boot print and step length to determine the suspect’s height.
Mortuary – Students have to determine the time of death using body temperature.
Forensic Laboratory – The victim died from chronic arsenic poisoning. Students have to determine for how long the victim was poisoned for.
Answers included.

Here's a real life crime scene application of algebra and statistics for your students....
Human skeletal remains have been found on a construction site. Most of the bones have been crushed leaving only a pelvis, femur and tooth for students to examine. Students must identify who the remains belong to using their knowledge of formulae and linear regression. A task involving the normal distribution is optional (see further details below).
What comes with this resource:
- Teacher Guide
- Workstation task sheets (data & photo provided for the femur task)
- Workstation signs
- Answer sheet
- Missing person database
The activity involves 3 tasks:
★ The Tooth - Students will use a formula and measurements from the tooth to determine the age of the individual.
★ The Femur - Students will be given a sample dataset of human heights and femur lengths. They must produce a linear regression model relating femur length to height. Students will then have to measure the femur found at the site (photo provided) and use their regression model to predict height.
★ The Pelvis - Students will use a formula and measurements of the pelvis to determine sex. There is the option to replace this task with one that uses z-scores and the normal distribution. Two worksheets for the pelvis are therefore provided but only one worksheet is needed for the activity.
