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!

Find the angles ion a straight line using algebraic information. Use the worksheets but I can see the CLIP-ART probably being more useful as all 108 questions are included as separate files that can be used in your own worksheets/Powerpoints/Whiteboard files.
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.
3 worksheets - 24 questions. Complete the fraction diagrams and equations.
The diagrams give scaffolding to working with equivalent fractions.
I had also added the 700+ fraction diagrams I have created to make my fractions resources. for use in staff worksheets/ PowerPoints etc
PLAY AS JUST MATCHING NUMBER LIKE ORDINARY DOMINOS OR
An interesting but challenging way to look at number bond work by using HEXOMINOES.
2 printable sets of 26 hexominoes one set with Numbers one set with spots (or interchangeable with each other to use spots and numbers)
Various worksheets/puzzle sheets
ANSWER
All the clip-art so that you can produce your own Powerpoints, worksheets etc
PLACE VALUE using ABACUS Diagrams.*
AND USE included 1000+ pieces of clip art TO MAKE YOUR OWN RESOURCES WORKSHEETS/POWERPOINTS
INCLUDED IS:
50 Worksheets with 20 Questions each number from diagram (+ANSWERS in two forms)
i) Answers as the worksheets look
ii) Answers as a LIST - THIS ALSO contains** TOTAL for each sheet and the MEAN, MEDIAN and RANGE** in case it is useful
50 Worksheets with 20 Questions each draw diagram from given number
EVERY NUMBER FROM 0-999 is used only once within the 50 worksheets sets
USE one for the WHOLE class OR GIVE EVERYONE A DIFFERENT Sheet - Which sometimes has its advantages
BLANK worksheets that also extend past HTU
ALL THE CLIPART for each individual number from 0-999 (so 1000 separate PDF’s)
**All the separate images I used to make each number - so a separate file for each digit 0-9
Images for bases from T,U, - H,T,U - - - - -up to - _ B,hM,tM,M,hTH,tTH,TH,H,T,U**
(Import them into you program of choice, build diagram by lining up elements, group and resize group as required)
All are VECTOR based so should resize without any loss of quality
**USE THESE TO MAKE YOUR OWN RESOURCES WORKSHEETS/POWERPOINTS **
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.
I have also provided these as unnumbered CLIP-ART(PDF) to use in you own WORKSHEETS, POWERPOINTS or NOTEBOOK files etc.
Each questions comes with its own working/answers also as clipart linked by file name
e.g. ASSET 1 / ASSET 1 ANS etc
The questions vary in difficulty and include 2D and 3D examples and in some will need other skills such as circumference of a circle etc.
I hope they are useful
13 x 2D questions, 5 x 3D questions and 2 x non-calc questions.
Full set of working + ANSWERS.
In the zip files there are the unnumbered PDF versions of all the questions and answers so that you can insert them in your own PowerPoints, Worksheets and or Notebook files etc.
Should scale up without loss of quality.
A set of Christmas themed Basic and Basic+ LOGIC PUZZLES
Basic uses numbers up to 20 (36 puzzles)
Basic + uses numbers up to 90 (36 puzzles)
THEY BOTH USE KNOWLEDGE OF ADDITION and SUBTRACTION
INTERMEDIATE and ADVANCED PUZZLES ARE ALSO AVAILABLE
Pupils are to solve the puzzle by working out the value of each Christmas Themed Icon and use the found values to calculate the missing number.
In each set there are 6 sheets of 6 puzzles.
Each pupil could have a sheet each or they could be cut into individual puzzles or strips with 2 or 3 puzzles on each strip.
With similar puzzles I have actually laminated them as individual puzzles and used dry wipe pens for pupils to write answers on
Answers supplied
This is a set of 3 double-sided worksheets (with answers) where the student has to connect colours in a grid without them crossing. All the squares in the grid have to be used.
They then, if required to, add the numbers along each the paths to come up with a total. Some of the totals are given so they can work backwards to find the correct route. (especially so as some of the puzzles can be connected in a different way - which can be an extension task they can be given).
These can, however, be given as a task without the addition element.
I have found the addition element quite good as different way of counting and using number bonds/patterns as an aid.
Eg. if they see six 3’s along a path they can be encouraged to say 18 rather than count 3,6,9 etc
eg. if they see a 1,2,3,4 say 10 without adding 1+2+3+4 etc etc
This resource is intended to give students an opportunity to experience a different counting system. They should be familiar with the decimal system and may have some knowledge of perhaps, binary.
The Mayan’s used base 20 (vigesimal) in their counting system with associated digits ( being made up of a shell shape, a dot and a bar/line)
from 0 -19 rather than our 0-9.
It really is an exercise in practicing MULTIPLICATION and ADDITION in a different format and a touch of logical thinking.
I also have another resource that includes posters and other display items to go with this topic. It also includes a lot of artwork I have produced and used in my Mayan resources that you could use in your own resources if required.
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
12 TRIPLICATE WORKSHEETS (one for each pentomino shape)
These fit the 15mmx15mm squares from my PENTOMINOES - STARTER KIT that is also free to download)
A set of small grids to use as needed, such as collating results.
Can be done individually to make a display
OR
Small groups could be given a different pentomino shape and asked to work together to find as many solutions as they can in a given time.
OR
A whole class activity working on ONE shape and collectively finding as many different solutions as they can. eg Copy a solution on to one of the small grids and have an area where these can be pinned/stuck so the students would be able to check for duplicates etc
INDIVIDUAL PNG’s and PDF’s of each BLANK TRIPLICATE for use on Powerpoint/Notebook slides etc
There are over 1000 solutions to the entire set so it would be unrealistic to include them.
ANIMALS 1 PUZZLES NOW AVAILABLE - COMPATIBLE WITH THIS RESOURCE
Make a quality set of pentominoes resources for use in lessons.
Included in this starter kit:
A colour set of pentominoes ( each individual square is 15mm x15mm) that you print out, fold and glue. When you cut them out you will get a double sided colour version of each piece. FOR BETTER RESULTS print on 300gsm card if you can or even stick a piece of card between the fold. CUT OUT INSIDE THE BLACK LINES.
A 20mm x 20mm version of the above over two A4 sheets
Black and white versions of both (1) and (2)
4)Two sets per sheet of the black and white version of the 15mm pentominoes but these are not designed to be folded and cut
A SET OF GRIDS that can be used to create basic puzzles
ALL THE ARTWORK I CREATED which includes high quality 300ppi PNG and PDF’s including individual PENTOMINOES for use in your own projects, lessons, PowerPoints and Displays etc
A HIGHLY SCAFFOLDED ACTIVITY in which the students are guided to work in a methodical/systematic way to find the solutions.
Each puzzle is based on a 5x4 rectangular grid that, in most cases, student only have to fit 3 unknown pentominoes in to the grid as one of them is shown in position.
They should be familiar with checking for rotation and reflection symmetry as this is very important.
THis includes:
An instruction sheets.
9 Challenges across 8 Worksheets
Blank Grids
Full solutions in both Colour and B/W
Solutions for each individual pentomino
ALL the artwork I used to make this resource.
Perhaps this could lead to some data analysis work.
I have sets of PENTOMINOES, FREE to DOWNLOAD that match the colours used in this resource
https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12501085
A logic puzzle based on, and using, PENTOMINOES.
Includes:
Reusable WORKSHEET
ANSWER GRIDS
GRID TO PHYSICALLY LAYOUT THE ANSWERS
SOLUTIONS in B/W and COLOUR
YOU WILL NEED A SET OF PENTOMINOES
IF you do:
The colours used in the WORKSHEET match up with the ones in my other FREE resource PENTOMINOES - STARTER KIT
This resource matches in size with the 15mmx15mm version
I have incuded the PNG for the grid used in this puzzle in case you wish to use it at a different size.
ANIMALS 2 and 3 PUZZLES ALSO AVAILABLE
COMPATIBLE with my PENTOMINOES STARTER KIT (15mm version) in both size and colour of pieces which is also available to download for free.
Use the resources to make your puzzles any size.
Use with PowerPoints, Displays and they should work on Interactive whiteboards
(eg put a puzzle on a notebook slide along with the 12 pentominoes and manipulate into position)
Multiplication tables that I have printed back-to-back and laminated.
One side have X ? ( eg 1x2, 2x2, …10 x2) tables
and the other the associated ?X tables( eg 2x1, 2x2…2x10)
My daughter asked me to do these for our 3years 7month old grandson who has developed a particular interest in Maths and particularly number.
He has used them on virtually a daily basis and even at his young age, knows most of his multiplication tables off by heart, which is amazing.
IT also converts given number to the VIGESIMAL (base 20) system
i.e. 0=0, 1=1, 2=2, …, 9=9, 10= A, 11=B, … , 19=J.
Using different number bases is alway a great lesson to get the students to think about place value and how that works.
It is also an excellent way to practice multiplication, division, addition and subtraction as well as some logical thinking. It is also me looking back to the day when you had to do calculate in £, /- , d. and st, lb and oz etc.
A PROBABLE USE IS TO GIVE THE STUDENTS A NUMBER TO CONVERT and USE THIS TO CHECK ANSWERS
OR
USE IT AS A Q&A session/lesson on Converting backwards and forwards between different bases.
I have other MAYAN resources including information/worksheets sheets.
It should work on any computer as it doesn’t have any macros etc but I made it on EXCEL for the MAC. I think it is best when the screen is zoomed in so that you can only see the main area surrounded by the brown box.
A SURPRISING TRICKY PUZZLE FOR STUDENTS TO BUILD.
Definitely useful for construction skills as well as logical thinking.
SOLUTION INCLUDED as well as a 3D view of a completed dice(the puzzle is still not easy if you show them this, on say, a SLIDE.
Print a set of the nine different cuboid nets.
Construct cuboids
Use the constructed cuboids to to construct the dice.
The usual rules apply i.e. opposite sides add up to 7, so 6 opposite 1 etc
There are 8 variations of dice colour/spot colour.
The red /yellow one is ready to print but to save ink just use the white with black spots version or perhaps the outline version and they could colour in the spots with one of theie choice.
Another step to a solution would be to use the set of completely blank cuboid nets on which the students could draw on the spots , construct a blank dice, take it apart while noting where the various pieces go.
