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!

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
I usually use this resource at a starter or a settler activity with a given time limit (say 10 mins).
I give advice about doing as many as possibly and in whichever order the students want.
Afterward we have discussions about which they find the easiest or can do the quickest.
Usually addition comes out the easiest until I suggest that if you know your tables that the multiplications are the easiest to do and probably the quickest as they don’t need working out. They get to realise that if they really know their tables that the divisions are quicker as they’re usually a single digit number to write as the answer.
In my mark book I record how many get correct out of how many they do and a time if they complete them all before the given time.
Most of the students really like doing this challenge. Improving their time/score is appears to motivate them. I have had quite a few students ask for sheets so they can practice at home.
Use the TABS on the spreadsheet to set the difficulty by changing the MAX and MIN values for each mathematical operation,
See the questions(recalculate if necessary ) and the answers for that set of questions.
It may be a good idea to PRINT SCREEN a set of answers if you intend to put the answer in a PowerPoint.
I usually print a few sets of answers off per table so they can mark their own. Sometimes I read them out.
If you cut the answer sheet into 4 strips, these strips can be placed/matched up against each column of students answer sheet and this is really easy for them to mark. Using this technique I have marked a full class of sheets in about 5 mins or so.
Another way to use this resource them would be to do them one/two columns/operations at a time and cut the time allowed.

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

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
An slightly different, but I hope interesting resource for simple addition and subtraction of numbers up to 20 using robots/number machines.
EXPLANATION POWERPOINT (24 slides)
Initially: 4 worksheets with answers
ALL the clip art I used to make the resource for you to use.
use the clip art to make your own worksheets or large scale robots for lessons or displays
Please note
This resource is the beginnings of an idea.
It is as uploaded and as yet UNTESTED with a class.
It has been designed to make basic calculations a bit more interesting and in some of the examples a little more challenging.
Please let me know what you think of this as an idea and if it is any good and thoughts on improving it.
Any questions please contact me.
I will make more associated resources if people think it will be worthwhile.
Please REVIEW if possible
I can be found on twitter @wardee72

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
Hopefully a fun way to practice NUmber bonds to 20
Pupils could be tasked with discussing if each of the values are appropriate
I have included a BLANK SET of cards if they want to make their own version
Usual “Top Trump” type rules
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.

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.
