This resource is comprises of two pages. Children are asked to draw the reflection of polygons in a given mirror line. They then have to write the coordinates of the reflected shape (first quadrant only). They are then presented with more shapes alongside their reflection and have to identify and draw the mirror line in the correct place. Suitable for upper KS2 or lower KS3

This is a two page worksheet where pupils are asked to identify unit fractions of different amounts. They colour the required number of objects before writing the fraction fact. The second page shows how a fraction of a amount can be modelled using a bar. Pupils are then asked to draw their own bars to model different fractions. suitable for Key Stage 2.

This is a stand-alone maths investigation which is great for developing skills in adding several small numbers. Each letter of the alphabet stands for a different number. A=1, B=2, C=3, and so on. The investigation gives children various challenges. These include working which animal scores the most points; also whose name in the class scores the most/least points. Can children find a word that scores exactly 100? (ELEPHANTS!) Great fun! I have used this many times and children always really enjoy the challenge.

This is a worksheet which focuses on Roman Numerals. It asks pupils to convert between Roman and English numbers. There are also additional tasks such as writing out a times table and answering a series of questions using Roman numerals (e.g. In which year were you born)? This worksheet is suitable for upper KS2 and would be useful for Year 5 children who need a knowledge of Roman Numerals for SATs. Thank you for your interest in my Maths resources. I do hope you find them useful Andrew

a really useful starter activity for upper KS2 or lower KS3. Children are given a number and have to devise different questions the answer to which is that number. They are encouraged to use a variety of different areas of maths

Worksheet which asks pupil to work out the angles in different triangles Supplied in pdf and Publisher format

This is a simple times table matrix activity. Children have to fill in the yellow part first (up to 10 x 10) They can then use these fact to complete the yellow part (up to 12 x 12). I usually put a timer on the whiteboard. The children record their time each week and try to improve. There is also an algebra puzzle on the sheet for early finishers.

This is a super little maths activity all about palindromes (numbers that read the same backwards as forwards). It is open ended and also great for reinforcing column addition. It has a high degree of challenge and I have used it successfully as a homework task. suitable for upper KS2 or lower KS3.

This is a two page worksheet which asks children to plot a set of coordinates in four quadrants. They then have to name the 2D shape which they have created. There are also two blank grids where pupils have to make their own shapes and identify the coordinates. This could then be exchanged with a friend to draw the shape. Suitable for Upper KS2 or maybe lower KS3 Thank you for your interest in my maths resources

This is a two page activity sheet. Pupils are asked to plot points on different grids and join them. They form 2D shapes which the children have to identify. An extension task then asks them to draw their own shapes before identifying the coordinates Suitable for upper KS2. Thank you for your interest in my maths resources.

This is another set of Math Mastery Challenge Cards. I have used these successfully with Year 5 and Year 6 children. They are useful for SATs revision, particularly in developing children's reasoning. There are 8 challenge cards in this set. Each card gives children a problem to solve and asks them to explain or justify their answer. These could be used as an additional challenge or as a whole lesson. I have given children the whole set and asked them to select one card. They then stick the card in their maths book and then write their solution next to it, explaining their reasoning. The children loved the activity! .

I created this presentation to introduce finding a percentage of an amount to my lower ability Year 5 maths set. I was unable to find anything else online that demonstrated clearly what exactly an percentage of a number means and that didn't over-complicate the subject. There are plenty of visual examples to show how we find a percentage of an amount. The presentation clearly links percentages to fractions. It start by demonstrating percentages on a 100 square and progresses to using different numbers. Simple animations show how a number can be split into different fractions and percentages.

This is a comprehensive PowerPoint which focuses on aspects of angle reasoning. It starts with revising the basics. Degrees in a right angle, straight line angle, and around a point. it goes on to look at more complex angle reasoning, including corresponding and alternate angles. It has 27 slides with plenty of examples of each type of angle. It could easily be amended depending on the level of complexity you require. Suitable for upper KS2 or lower KS3. The PowerPoint was used as part of a lesson graded "outstanding"

This is a two page worksheet in Word format. It focuses on number patterns and sequences. The children are given several number sequences and have to identify the rule of each sequence as well as giving the next two terms. There are also several SAT's style questions for reinforcement. This would be ideal for Year six pupils as part of a unit on algebra or as preparation for end-of-Key Stage tests.

This is two page worksheet which looks at reflective symmetry. The first sections asks children to reflect 2D shapes in the "x" axis and also the "y" axis. They then have to draw their own shape before carrying out a reflection. The reflections are performed on a coordinate grid in four quadrants. On the second page, children are given a variety of 2D shapes. and asked to use a mirror to identify and draw lines of symmetry. This would be useful as part of preparation for SATs or more generally for upper KS2 work on translations.

This is a resource we use every day in our maths lessons. It is a editable template which can be linked to the schools calculation policy. Children are given four calculation questions at the start of the lesson. These can obviously vary. It could be four of the same type of calculation or four different. There is also a Countdown-type puzzle to finish. We have found these invaluable for raising standards of arithmetic. It is supplied in Powerpoint format to be readily editable. Thank you for your interest in my maths resources. I hope you find them useful.

This is a three page resource with different activities relating to percentages. The first reinforces the concept of percentages and asks pupils to look at coloured dots on a hundred square and identify the percentage of each colour. The rest of the activities focus on the concept of increasing and decreasing quantities. Coloured cubes are used and pupils are asked to increase and decrease them by given percentages and work out the totals. Children could be given coloured cubes to help them visualise the percentages. Thank you for your interest in my maths resources. I hope you find them useful.

There are two worksheets here which ask the pupils to firstly draw and then interpret line graphs. In both cases, data is given in the form of a table. The first worksheet gives pupils a template with axes drawn, and space for labels for each axis. The second worksheet asks pupils to draw their own without scaffolding. Pupils are asked to use their line graphs to devise their own questions to share with a friend. The resource is supplied in both pdf and Publisher format for easy editing and customization. Thank you for your interest in my resources. I hope you find them useful.

There are two worksheets here which ask the pupils to firstly draw and then interpret pie charts. In both cases, data is given in the form of a table relating to sales of ice creams. The first worksheet gives pupils sets of data and asks them to construct their own pie charts. The second worksheet asks pupils to invent their own ice cream flavours and to construct pie charts based on this data. The resource is supplied in both pdf and Publisher format for easy editing and customization. Thank you for your interest in my resources. I hope you find them useful.

This is a PowerPoint presentation which focuses on the relationship between area and perimeter of 2D shapes. Firstly some rectangles are shown and pupils have to work out the area and perimeters of each. The presentation then progresses to looking at irregular shapes and examining the largest and smallest possible perimeters for a given area. The presentation finishes by posing the pupils two challenges which require squared paper. Namely for firstly rectangular and then irregular shapes, can they different shapes of a specified area and then investigate the largest and smallest possible perimeter for each.
