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!

400 UNIQUE BINGO CARDS IN 4 COLOURS
118 PLAYING CARD SIZED CARDS (SHUFFLE and use to ‘call’ elements)
118 Counter sized CARDS (place in a bag so they can be picked out)
ELEMENTS CALLED CHECKLIST
Other thoughts:
With 90 numbers ordinary bingo could take quite a while I wondered if this with 118 could be used as activity where the teacher picks 10 elements at random to have on a screen as the students enter the room and they mark them off their cards (perhaps stuck in their book) as everyone settles down.
Of course there might be a prize involved for a ‘line’ or a 'full house?
If you were to cut out multiple sets of the tokens this could be be played by multiple students around a table and drawing their own tokens from a bag or from face-down tokens on the table.
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.

Quite challenging.
