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!

MONSTER MATHS 3 - LOGIC/REASONING PUZZLE - USE COMPASS POINTS/DIRECTIONS and CLUES - Halloween

MONSTER MATHS 3 - LOGIC/REASONING PUZZLE - USE COMPASS POINTS/DIRECTIONS and CLUES - Halloween

(1)
A single worksheet that involves using the cardinal and inter-cardinal points/directions to solve a logic puzzle. It also involved reading the clues, matching this description up to a monster and associated letter which could be very challenging! Complete the worksheet OR print off the separate STUDENT ANSWER GRID and CHECKLIST and save the ORIGINAL worksheet for another time which saves on printing costs. I have not tried this with students myself yet so if you do use it I would love to know how it went.

GIANT MATHS WORDSEARCH

GIANT MATHS WORDSEARCH

(3)
-Find 352 maths related words ( KS3 Vocab. list) For wordsearches this is quite a challenge. Hardly anyone has ever found all the words (even when they have taken home over an holiday period and arrived back saying it became a family activity) but a lot have said they enjoyed trying. In class some have wanted to do it on their own, some in a small group. But it has worked best as a table activity where they work together an pool their answers. I have also used it to just to find certain words from a small list of 10-20 that I have put on the board.

Laminate or use plastic card sleeves for best results.

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
