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.

Some puzzle and some displays to generate thinking, or just to plaster the walls - get ready for September, or any time. (If anyone would prefer word versions, send me a message and I'll post them up.)

Average and Spread - fun with number cards

(4)
A brief warm up/review activitiy using numbered cards to find mean, median, mode and range, with simple starter questions followed by learners selecting numbers to fit the conditions. Some are not possible, I might add. Colourful and kinaesthetic, as my learners like it to be. Enjoy.

What it says - simple 'fill in the gaps&' four rules of fractions, with some scaffolding by way of answers and interim stages for the addition and subtraction, which can be deleted before printing in the Word version if so desired. Plus pdf documents for those who prefer this format.

Prof Richard Wiseman recommends designs and images to promote creative thinking - show them on a screen or print them off as posters. Some illusions, some patterns, some simple tiling - not for discussing, just for being there. One set just slides, and one with an index page for choosing the desired image, and an index button on each slide. All images are mine, so no problem with copyright.
