A PowerPoint display with coloured creation of square numbers and triangular numbers, with a couple of other patterns thrown in for fun. An ideal activity for KS3 students.

A set of questions challenging learners to apply knowledge of coordinates, and do some algebraic thinking.

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.)

Very simple times tables in lists and tables - a dozen of one and half a dozen of the other.

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.

A variety of conversions including between units, currency conversions, use of simple formula and reading from graphs.

Powepoint accompanyment to exploring a variety of concepts using tetrominoes - symmetry, tesselations, transformations. The learners explore the shapes, and discover the five tetrominoes, then explore the concepts.

Thirteen assembled images that lead to the name of football teams. You don't need to know anything about football. Use for ice-breaker, or just a bit of fun.

KS1 programme of study in Word for easy cutting and pasting into schemes of work, lesson plans etc. Plus a table format for recording.

I use these to assess understanding, as well as for generating discussion. Foundation GCSE or Functional Skills.

A brief introduction to the linking of patterns to graphs and Cartesian co-ordinates in mathematics at KS3 and GCSE. A PowerPoint suitable for lessons.

Three short recap/revision quizzes in Powerpoint - Geometry, Transformations and Area and Perimeter.

An PowerPoint with an introduction to decimal fractions and the concept of denominators to the power of ten, followed by ordering decimals and applying the four rules.

A selection of made-up examples for class discussion. What is happening in each picture?

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.

Psychologists suggest that a distraction, using a different part of the brain perhaps, helps the problem solving process. Four sets, which you might not want to do all at once. Answer slides included.

A PowerPoint demonstration of an early method of finding prime numbers. Plus some 100 grids to use with the activity.

Probability questions from a variety of past examination papers, suitably changed, and some new ones created to reflect the 2017 examination, with multiple choice answers added by me. Not yet trailed in the classroom so please advise me of any mistakes. (Nobody’s perfect, as Joe E Brown famously said on screen.)

Standard style lesson plans put into PowerPoint for easy showing in the classroom, printing for handouts etc. All the objectives covering Number, Probability, Statistics, and Ratio, proportion and rates of change included. Twenty seven lessons in all. All you have to do is add your own particular circumstances, resources etc. After getting a 'one star' rating for the paid set of thirty, I thought of this - try these three for free, and if you like them, you can buy the full set, which cost £1.
