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!

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.
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
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.
Use to improve students identification of 2d shapes and info about them.
This resource is best used on an interactive whiteboard.
You will need Adobe Flash Player on your computer (most have it installed as standard)
The activity is to Drag a shape into it’s appropriate position. If it is correct it snaps into place. If it’s incorrect it will return to the top.
If you click the ? next to each box it gives info about that shape (click the ? again to make it close before proceeding)
I have other resources similar to this for 3d shapes and matching formulas to shapes.
This is really a use of HIGHEST COMMON FACTOR to find the DIMENSIONS and hence the VOLUME of a cuboid given the area of each face. A very good KNOWLEDGE of finding the HCF, I would say, is essential. The higher numbered worksheets are very challenging otherwise.
15 worksheets each with 6 questions 2-1 to 2-15
You could cut them into single questions to be easily stuck into books. so working out could be shown.
Each student could be given question within their ability range.
Each pupil with a different question perhaps.
Cut-up single questions could be mixed up but in a bag/envelope and used as a luck dip type situation

SEE MY OTHER DOMINO RELATED RESOURCES
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
USES KS3 Science VOCAB. words/terms

Answers included or should that be nswrs ncldd.
A great activity at any time of the year to keep SCIENCE vocab /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.
Find the angles in a triangle 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.
How many time do other gear(s) turn when the initial gear turns and which direction do they turn?
Next level up from GEARS 2A - this time the direction of turn is required and some turns expressed as fractions.
Hopefully student will be starting to get the idea that it is only the FIRST and LAST gears that need to be considered in calculations as intermediate/inbetween gears do not make any difference.
2 worksheets 10 questions
Gear clip-art and question images are included for use in your other documents.
Find the correct spider an give its coordinates.
