I have been teaching MATHEMATICS (11-16) since 1990. I have regularly been commended on my classroom displays and the quality of my resources as I feel this enriches the student experience.
As a self-taught graphic designer I now produce professional quality materials for our academy/academy chain across all departments including posters/banners and promotional materials. I am currently working on updating some older resources as well as developing new ones!

This resource has a selection of posters showing the value of PI to a various number of decimal places.
The two distinctly different posters show the first 1000 and 10000 decimal places of PI respectivly (the latter having 3 colour variations and either A4 or A3 in size)
The banner shows the first 100 decimal places and can be either approx 3.5m or 7m dependent on how its stuck together (tiled).
This can be Pi, UP TO , 100 dp if you only print off as many sheets as you want.
Work through Maze
Tally each symbol
Complete table
Use clues to deduce which elf used which symbol
Reasoning will need knowledge of:
basic inequalities
prime numbers
square numbers
cube numbers
PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A PART FINISHED RESOURCE - but still usable
WORKSHEETS and ANSWERS PROVIDED
PRIME NUMBERS LESS THAN 100 - Via PRIME PIXEL PICTURES (set of 25) + more NOW AVAILABLE
well a mixture of ideas to throw out there
Basically you have a grid of numbers in this case between 1-100
Pupils identify and colour/shade in the prime numbers to produce a PIXEL PICTURE
This resource is just an basic example where the primes come in order so they get to know the sequence
Others
are on bigger grids
Different colours by condition set
Prime mixed up
I have found it surprisingly successful in getting the pupils to learn their prime numbers
Also in this resource I have included a bit mash-up of various other areas of maths that could be brought in - PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK
The numbers are written with standard index form/scientific notation
to make them easier to read and understand.
While trillion is an incredibly large number, and the one that is the highest that some people will know about, there are actually many numbers that are larger than it.
This poster shows names from Thousand to Googol and a few extra of note.
A4, A3 and A2 sizes with tiling instructions included
and a High Quality PNG file in case you want to use it to produce an even large poster of in your own PowerPoint/Notebook files
A4 BLACK WHITE VERSION ALSO INCLUDED

WRITING NUMBERS IN WORDS - PowerPoint - Worksheets - Place Valve Tables and MORE
AND
WRITING NUMBERS IN WORDS POSTERS - SPELLING and PLACE VALUE AIDS
108 QUESTIONS
36 DIAGRAMS
SOLUTIONS
INDIVIDUAL QUESTIONS are also provided as both PDF and PNG files for you to use in your own PowerPoint and Notebook files etc
Presented as 6 worksheets each with 6 diagrams.
Each diagram has three questions.
These can be used as a worksheet or cut into individual questions that are ideal to be stuck into pupil books.
The questions increase in difficulty (by number) and students should be made aware to be careful of reading the scales carefully as they can change from questions to question on certain worksheets
ALSO SEE
WRITING NUMBERS IN WORDS - PowerPoint - Worksheets - Place Valve Tables and MORE
Choice of A2, A3 and A4 POSTERS (with tiling instructions)
Plus PDF & PNG’s to use in your own PowerPoints/Notebook files etc
A5 sized Spelling Aids (to stick in student books perhaps)
A5 Colour - Place value aids - up to hundreds of trillions
If you only want to go to, say, millions - CUT OFF the billions and trillions parts
For these I have laminated them and students write their numbers using a dry wipe pen in the boxes below.
PDF &PNG files supplied
Choose from A3, A2 and A1 versions of a poster showing all the prime number less than 10000.
Will need to be printed and the tiles stuck together for A1 and A2 - instructions included
The font size on the A3 version is only 12pt
I always think that the white border around the edge to the final poster should be removed (for me, personally, it looks better and you don’t notice the “joins” as much).
A2 should be 2 x A3 or 4 x A4 sheets to stick together
A1 should be 4 x A3 or 8 x A4 sheets to stick together (depending on your printer settings)

SEE MY OTHER DOMINO RELATED RESOURCES
Virtually Identical to my set of Ladybird Domino 0-0 to 10-10 resource but with Extra dominoes so that a full set of 0-0 to 12-12 would cover THE TWELVE DAYS of CHRISTMAS. So 91 Dominoes altogether.
Lots of opportunity to set differentiated tasks
IDEAS FOR USE ALSO IN PDF
You could even sing along to the domino you have or find ones that fit the song, as well as looking at all sorts of maths problems that could be weedled out of this topic.
How many birds in total?
How many men in total?
How many women in total?
Number patterns and sequences :
1 partridge on day one
1 partridge and 2 turtle doves on day 2
but thats 2 partridges and 2 turtle doves in total after 2 days …
and 5 partridges ,8 turtle doves, 9 french hens, 8 calling birds and 5 gold rings after 5 days etc etc etc
Perhaps could be used as a writing exercise in English.
OR Just use as normal dominoes
Two Versions
Number bond to 10 - addition & subtraction
Finding Primes
Both give same answer
Colour squares dependent on condition
I now have a set of 25 PRIME PIXEL PICTURES available to download - with various difficulties- worksheets and answers
You can simulate the throwing of up to 3 dice on a whiteboard for classroom activities.
You will need Adobe Flash Player installed on you computer. (they usually do have it installed as standard)
Now 2 files that basically do the same thing (the update file has an slightly different menu system)
Please check out my other upload that simulates dice throwing and so you can look at expected outcomes and experimental outcomes.
Use to improve students identification of 2d shapes and info about them.
This resource is best used on an interactive whiteboard.
You will need Adobe Flash Player on your computer (most have it installed as standard)
The activity is to Drag a shape into it’s appropriate position. If it is correct it snaps into place. If it’s incorrect it will return to the top.
If you click the ? next to each box it gives info about that shape (click the ? again to make it close before proceeding)
I have other resources similar to this for 3d shapes and matching formulas to shapes.
Use to improve students identification of FORMULA associated with 2d and 3d solid shapes

I have other resources similar to this for 2d and 3d (solid) shapes
It is an Adobe Flash file but even if you don’t have this installed it works in Internet Explorer (Right click and open with IE)
It is a 2 player game that I have used as a starter (mainly around November 5th in the UK)
OR EVEN BASED an ENTIRE LESSON AROUND IT
I give the pupils the choice of going first or second. Either me Vs 1 pupil or me Vs the class
As I know the strategy that you have to get to 3,9 or 15 first to make sure you it doesn’t matter who goes first as I usually win and it makes them more eager to have another go.
It really gets the pupils fired up and after a few games someone might notice what the strategy is or rather part of it.
They’ll probably notice first that you alwasy get to 15 first so get them to explain why.
(it’s usually “…well if we add 1 you’ll add 5 or if we add 4 you’ll add 2…” etc
Get them to think about what they have just said 1+5,2+4 …so its something to do with 6
15 is 6 less than 21 … perhaps you can use this knowledge to make sure you get to 15 first etc etc
I have gone on to get them to investigate other target numbers eg 47 find the first number you need to get to
47 /6 is 7 remainder 5 so you need to go first and say 5 if the next player adds 2 you need to add 4 (2+4=6)
What would happen if you could place up to 10 barrels and target number was 100?
If you download please comment/follow so if the resource is updated I will be able to notify you.
this resource is PART OF a SET that I have split into single items SEE MY OTHER DOMINO RELATED RESOURCES
INCLUDED a set of dominoes with the MULTIPLICATION Symbol
FOR PRINTABLE SETS OF DOMINOES with ADDITION, SUBTRACTION symbols on the dominoes
or just PLAIN - SEE MY OTHER UPLOADS
There is a worksheet for INEQUALITES ( <,> and =)
for NUMBER WORK 0-0 to 12-12 approx (5cm x 10cm at 100%)
I printed these on CARD and laminated them, other sets were printed on different coloured card
Remember to just print Page 1 or yo will print the example/instructions on page 2
I have used this with all year groups / all abilities as both a starter activity and a lesson resource when covering this topic.
It can be used by student or staff on a computer by hovering/rolling/clicking a specific number
They can come to the interactive whiteboard and touch one of the numbers to give them the prime factor/index notation for that number. It can be used to check sets of questions from worksheets or as part of a prime factor bingo game.
It needs Adobe Flash Player installed on the computer it is being used on. ( Most computers do have this)
If anyone can think of other uses please make a comment.
*** Apologies to the first few people who downloaded this resource as I mistakenly uploaded the incorrect version- should be OK now)
There was a problem with 34 and 78
I think this will be a very challenging but useful activity
Answers included or should that be nswrs ncldd.
A great activity at any time of the year to keep mathematical language /words in the for front of their thoughts.
perhaps try to complete it over the Christmas Holidays
It could be set as a competition -individual/small group/ table
Each pupil could be given a different set of questions.
A table could be given all 10 sheets or all the same sheet and work collaboratively
Lots of possible variations
Please lets me know how it goes.
Did you every want that odd sheet of Specialist paper for a lesson and couldn’t find any?
AND did you want/need any A3 size so you didn’t have to stick A4 sheets together?
IN this collection you will find Black, Green, Blue, Red and Grey versions of the follow papers A4 and A3

All are PDF files and sometime when viewing you might need to either zoom in or out to see the detail
If printing the A3 version you will need to make sure it is sent to an A3 printer otherwise it will try to tile and you’ll end up with 4 sheets instead of 1.
Any of the colour versions will print grey if printed in greyscale in various shades of grey depending on the colour. I have included a grey version that should print 50% black.
IF there are any other PAPERS you want adding to this collection please make a comment and i’ll endeavour to add it to the collect as soon as possible.
I hope there are useful!

I have produced a Prime Factor Banner/Poster **
that can also be used along side this activity as well as a
PRIME FACTOR FINDER PROGRAM that can be used for the answers on the whiteboard*
FOR USE WITH PRIME FACTORS.
CONTENTS:
A SET OF CARDS WITH NUMBERS 2-100 Aprrox 4.5cm x 4.5 cm each
All composite (non-primes) are in square boxes
Primes are in circles
A SET OF ALL THE PRIME NUMBER (VARIOUS QUANTITIES)
A SET OF INDICES (in hexagons)
Instructions
Pick a number - students have to make that number just using the prime cards
CAN BE USED CONSTRUCTING PRIME FACTOR TREES
OR
what works well if you put all the composite (non-prime cards in a bag) and then pick one out
OR
Use like a LUCKY DIP
Walk around class and get individual pupils/tables to pick one(or more) out of the bag.
PUPILS MAKE THEIR NUMBER(S) using their PRIME Number cards
Multiplication and Power/indices cards can also be used.
