I'm a secondary Maths teacher in the Midlands, and I love creating interesting and wacky resources. Here I share anything I make that works! Resource that took a significant amount of time to create, full lessons, quick worksheets and interesting games. Feel free to browse, download and try for yourself! But please leave feedback so I can improve them :)

Volume of Prisms Snakes and Ladders

Volume of Prisms Snakes and Ladders

(48)
Recommended by the TES resource team. Increases in difficulty towards the last few questions. Used for a top set year 10 class after being taught how to calculate the volume of a prism. This is the first one I ever made of these and proved very successful when encouraging independent and cooperative learning skills.

Increases in difficulty towards the end of the game. Used for a low ability year 10 group, but can be used with other levels and age groups. Challenge questions are usually something that can be completed on the board. Feel free to correct any errors on there, this is one I made during my PGCE.
Perimeter Snakes and Ladders

Perimeter Snakes and Ladders

Includes rectangles, compound shapes and other polygons. Increases in difficulty towards the end of the game, starting with shapes where all sides are provided, developing into missing sides on rectangles towards compound shapes. Challenge question is usually something they can complete on the main board in the classroom.

Area Revision Sheet

This resource was made for a Grade C year 10 group. We had just covered area of rectangles, triangles, parallelograms and trapeziums. They needed some extra practice, but each one to varying levels and on different areas, so I made this set of 3 sheets to enable them to practice independently. Worked very well for them. Can also be used for KS3 for revision/practice. Questions taken from 10ticks and arranged.
Circle Theorems - Challenge Boards

Circle Theorems - Challenge Boards

(6)
A set of activities used for a top set year 9 KS4 group. Each activity shows a practical application or a proof of one of the circle theorems. Works well as a consolidation exercise. Response to comment from Brunty_genius: The Flintstone problem can be solved by using a right-angle (most of my groups have used the edge of their exercise book) and placing it against the circumference. Mark where the book cuts through the circumference, then join the dots. This gives you the diameter, do it again and where the diameters cross is the centre ;)
Drawing Linear Graphs Activity (3 levels)

Drawing Linear Graphs Activity (3 levels)

(17)
Featured in the TES Secondary Maths Newsletter. These worksheets were created for a bottom set year 8 class, all around level 5-6, with a few capable of level 7 work. The activity is differentiated into three levels, each with a subsequent challenge task. y=mx + c subliminally added to the back of the worksheets to expose pupils to the general formula - worked well in summarising key features of linear graphs and equations.
