I taught in a range of schools for many years before moving into FE, where I found creative and imaginative approaches just as rewarding with adults. Most of my resources are concerned with giving control to the learner, through a range of methods. Some are great for just giving them experience of examination questions, and the chance to discuss these with other learners. I now concentrate on spreading the range of creations from UK KS1 to KS4, and across the Common Standards.

Maths. Descriptors and specifications for UK Key Stage 4, although equally adequate for KS3. All lovingly put into word clouds using Wordle. I made B/W versions some time ago, but now I've been asked for colour, so here they are.

You may take a Wordle, put it on your book cover, your t-shirt, your campaign poster, what have you. You may get rich off it. If you want to give credit to wordle.net, feel free!' So again, all credit to wordle.net, and many thanks! Any problems, please let me know and I can change the formats.
