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 matching shapes/spiders. Working methodically will probably be essential on later questions and the task will be made easier is certain answers can be eliminated first. This has been very popular in the past and students in general work together and enjoy the challenge. Other staff have enjoyed doing this too.
Included:
Worksheet files in PDF, WORD and Image files.
Answers

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.
An EXCEL workbook which enables the user to convert a number to words.
Works up to 999,999,999,999 and is a single ‘formula’ in a single excel cell
The workbook has 3 tabs;
A single number conversion
A multi number conversion
A random number generator (between 2 numbers set by the user) and converts the generated number to words
All three versions AUTOFILL can be used to generate more rows.
I am going to try to create some CONVERTING NUMBERS to WORD worksheets when I get the time by copying and pasting a set of cells into InDesign, Word Publisher, Powerpoint etc.
A set of dominoes to double 12 featuring the spiders from my spider set of resources.

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
