20 PYRAMIDS TO SOLVE A more difficult version of NUMBER PYRAMIDS using FRACTIONS Addition and subtraction of fractions/mixed numbers

PRIME NUMBERS LESS THAN 100 - Via PRIME PIXEL PICTURES (set of 25) + more A fun way to learn the prime numbers less than 100 A set of 25 pixel picture puzzles Shade the squares that have prime numbers Identify Prime and Composite (non-prime) numbers 3 levels of difficulty Worksheets (A5/A4) + ANSWERS + blank grids Guidance/Instructions** Prior Knowledge Required Being able to identify some if not all the prime numbers less than 100 unless you use this as an activity for this purpose. This is an activity designed to make the learning of PRIME numbers much easier and I have been surprised, in the past, how successful it has been. Start with the PRACTICE question if needed. For this and ONE STAR PUZZLES the if you work through the grid, starting in the top left hand corner and work left to right and row by row the sequence of PRIME NUMBERS <100 appear IN ORDER. So find 2 and work through to 97 The sequence repeats (partially in some cases) up to the prime needed complete the puzzle Get them to do this methodically - this is how they pick up the sequence ( a printed sequence for them to have alongside may scaffold the initial process). TWO STAR - Same rules but generally a larger grid THREE STAR - Usually a larger grid but primes not in a particular order although some part of the prime sequence may occur. (Find a 2 and it may be next to a 3, then a 5, then a 7 etc etc) I have provided some blank grids for pupils to make up their own puzzles. Draw a picture by colouring in a small grid. Then working with a larger grid get them to write LIGHTLY SHADE their picture onto a big grid In each shaded square they then write a PRIME NUMBER (in sequence at first as in a one star puzzle) which gets them writing out the primes) FILL IN THE REST OF THE GRID WITH NON-PRIME which is an equally IMPORTANT TASK EITHER COPY THIS ONTO ANOTHER BLANK GRID or use COMPUTER and TABLE IN WORD, POWERPOINT or similar to produce a printable puzzle. I have used ADOBE’s InDesign to make this set of puzzles Please Comment/follow so if there are upgrades/changes you can be easily notified - Thank You

SEARCH-FIND-COUNT - AT THE BEACH USE INCLUDED POWERPOINT for WHOLE CLASS INVOLVEMENT WORKSHEET AND ANSWERS CAN BE PRINTED VIA POWERPOINT I have not tried this as I am a secondary teacher but I was trying to come up with an idea for a primary college that would make counting ‘more interesting’ . I thought that the main image may be laminated to allow pupils to use a whiteboard marker to cross off/ circle the ones they have found. A tally chart(s) also could be used. I have included all the ARTWORK I have drawn as individual clip-art so that you could use them to create your own PowerPoints, Notebook files etc If it a popular/useful resource, I may make a series with different topics/themes. Please let me know what you think! ALSO SEE SEARCH - FIND - COUNT FARM ANIMALS

QUESTIONS to be done in STUDENT BOOKS but could be written on worksheet ALSO INCLUDED are ANSWERS for the AREA of each TRIANGLE and full CALCULATOR DISPLAY if you need an extra or extension task.

Worksheet can be printed back-to-back or be 2 separate worksheets Or just project it on to whiteboard Watch out for more in this series of resources on SURDS

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

75 questions over 5 worksheets wth ANSWERS

These work well printed on ACETATE. Various different designs to choose from.

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) Please make a comment/follow so If there are any updates you can be notified.

EXAM TYPE QUESTIONS + WORKING + ANSWERS 23 EXAM type questions on SIMILARITY (shapes and solids) WORKING and ANSWERS included. Each question/answer provided as clip-art so can be used in PowerPoints and Notebook files etc In solutions - Scale factor found by dividing largest value by smallest to produce a SF > 1 and then deciding whether to multiply OR divide by this value. I know not every one takes this approach. ALSO NOTE Assets 6 and 16 look like they are the same question but there is a subtle difference.

5 Worksheets -100 Questions + answers (Also individal questions as CLIP-ART) Use either the worksheets that increase in difficulty or use the CLIP-ART for your own worksheets, PowerPoints or whiteboards etc. Answers included and also if you want to ask the student what the nth and 20th terms are the answers are available.

MATHS - 504 KENKEN LOGIC PUZZLES for BEGINNERS (3x3 grids) + PowerPoint A great logical thinking exercise for beginners. Uses addition, subtraction, multiplication and division but the clues always give answers that are either 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,12 or 18 Use as a full lesson, filler or starter activity. Included 504 puzzles (12 per A4) that can be given as is, or cut into strips of 3 or 4 puzzles or even individual puzzles. 2 sets of solutions (although they probably not be needed as the puzzles check themselves but peer marking/checking is easy too) A PowerPoint explaining the RULES, A BEGINNERS GUIDE TO SOLVING KENKEN PUZZLES and some HINTS and TIPS A blank 3x3 grid and 107 transparent 3x3 KENKEN grids/cages that can be used together to create your own puzzles (or the students can). To do this insert the blank grid into your document along with a KENKEN grid ABOVE the blank Line up the two, group and resize.

A 12 slide PowerPoint presentation showing how to prove Pythagoras’ Theorem. While there are some animations in the presentation, you may want to change some of the settings on them so that you can ask the students questions while you are presenting it. I have many other resources based on this topic that can be downloaded for FREE.

Includes 9 puzzles to solve (each puzzle has 4 sub-questions) Involves substituting found values into ‘equations’** 3 student worksheets, PowerPoint with individual questions. PowerPoint with answers. +All the individual CLIPART I used to create this resource is included Answers follow BIDMAS rules Worksheets can be cut into individual strips to become single questions Difficulty increases from Q 1 to Q 9. I have not tested this out yet so if you do use it I would love to know how it goes I expect there may be more in this series. (if I get the time) *** APOLOGIES TO THE FIRST FEW PEOPLE WHO DOWNLOADED THIS RESOURCE as I FOUND A MISTAKE ON Q2 but It was downloaded by some before I had the chance to rectify it. (I rectified this by putting a ‘1+’ before the last clue on Q2 on each of the files) THE CURRENT VERSION SHOULD BE OK

VECTORS - Exam Question Practice 3 questions on column vectors 8 questions on vector diagrams with comprehensive answers and methodology

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 in a project on the MAYA eg wall display OR a starting point for working in base 20 In this resource there is: An A3 sized poster An A2 sized poster (will need to be tiled - using a reasonable overlap setting will be a good idea) 20 x A5 sized individulal numbers for dislpay with A4 description KEY A set of playing card sized cards that has -the decimal number -the Mayan symbol for that number -the Mayan head GLYPH for that number -and its name (good luck pronouncing them) PLUS All the artwork that I created for this resource so you can use it with your own projects (see zip file) I have included 300 dpi JPEGs and PNG’s but where you can use the PDF version as it can scale without pixelating. (in WORD you have to use INSET > Object) If you do use any of my artwork, please credit it when appropriate. I also have a set of resources showing how to convert Mayan, base 20 numbers into decimal number I WILL BE UPLOADING SOME MORE MATHS RELATED MAYAN RESOURCES AVAILABLE SOON
