PowerPoint for Best Buys using baked beans, dog food and ketchup to demonstrate how to work out which is the best value for money. Designed to be used as the basis for explanations, discussion and examples. (And what happens if there’s an offer on?)

12 maths questions a day for 10 days. Handy for the countdown to the maths SATs. The questions are designed to challenge more able students who are working at or above the expected level for Year 6. There are 10 worksheets which cover a variety of different topics from the KS2 national curriculum. Also useful for KS3 and KS4 students who are covering basics.

This two worksheet free taster of the full set of 40 worksheets contains questions to aid your year 6 pupils in their SATs revision. The questions are suitable for whole class usage as they span the entire KS2 curriculum. Opportunities for reasoning and literacy are on each sheet. The grid layout helps pupils to learn to move to a different question when they are struggling and that working in numerical order isn’t always the most natural thing; when faced with all the questions at once they can treat it as a pick n mix sheet, opting to answer the questions in the order they choose. Suitable to be used as a weekly homework across the year where you can measure progress in the build up to SATs with a reduced need to complete practice tests or as part of independent revision work in class as SATs week gets closer. Can also be used for slow grasping/ lower ability year 7 & 8 pupils.

This 104 page workbook is perfect for KS2 learners to independently work on improving their recall of the times table facts from 2x to 12x. Upon mastery of each times table skill, students are rewarded with a certificate that they can colour in and write their name on to truly celebrate their achievement. Also features the ever popular Times Tables Game within each section so children can work together or with siblings/ parents to roll the dice and reinforce their knowledge.

Ideal for upper KS2 or Lower KS3. Interpreting number, using data in a table to give calculations and using addition and subtraction of 3-digit-numbers. Ideal homework sheet.

I used this with a bottom set year 8 class (very low ability, high level of SEND) to find out what they already knew about triangles. They went around the classroom talking to each other to fill in about the four triangles pictured. Then after feeding back and correcting misconceptions we filled in a new sheet to stick in their exercise books. Would work well for a KS2 shape revision lesson before SATs also.

Great for getting pupils truly familiar with their calculator - especially year 7 who are probably using a scientific calculator for the first time. This worksheet is designed as an annotating activity for the Casio fx-85GTX which is recommended by exam boards. This is also great for coming up to GCSE exams as one thing that examiners seem to repeat is that candidates often don’t seem to know how to use their calculator to the best effect!

Success Criteria I can share an amount into two parts in a given part:part ratio I can share an amount into two parts in a given part:whole ratio I can I can solve problems using sharing in a ratio Full lesson from starter to plenary and everything in between. The entire lesson is contained within the PowerPoint, helping to save on printing. Differentiation offered through BSG activity. Includes established opportunities for AfL. Incredibly visual representation, making it perfect for KS2, SEND/MLD and low ability learners at secondary.

Lesson on Compound Measures used for middle ability year 10 class. Includes some exam questions, rearranging the formulae and converting units of measure.

In all my years of tutoring and teaching, this is still the most requested game that I have made! Contains pdf and pub version (so you can edit as needed). Times tables from 2x to 15x and square numbers to 12 making it perfect from KS1 right through to KS4. Ideal for preparing for the Year 4 times tables check. Perfect pair work - just add a pair of dice! Also makes a great home learning task. Update April 2020: I’ve added in a PowerPoint version and a Google Slides version for use in virtual classrooms or even for suggesting your pupils use to play with each other while they’re at home to keep up their skills.

Matching activity in which pupils match the word to its definition. Some definitions contain words whose definitions are also included (such as integer etc.) so patience and teamwork is essential to complete the whole set. An ideal group - or even whole class - activity. Mathematical vocabulary includes words related to: shape, measure, number, ratio, data. If there are any words missing from the set, then let me know! I am more than happy to add to it! Ideal for schools working on a mastery curriculum.

A wordsearch for the names of special quadrilaterals and triangles. Includes two versions for differentiation. One has the names of the shapes included and the other simply instructs to find the names of the quadrilaterals and triangles they have been learning about that week (this version has a few red herrings thrown in). Even though the two wordsearches look different, the words to be found are in the same place in each - making it easy to use both versions of the sheet in the same class.

This pack includes: Finding the nth term worksheet (Ascending) (& answers) Finding the nth term worksheet (Descending) Generating Sequences worksheet (& answers) nth term homework 1&2 (including term to term rule) Quick AfL PPT “what comes next?” I used it with mid to low ability year 7 classes but the differentiation within the worksheet means that the worksheets could be used for any KS3/KS4 class. Even includes fractional sequences for a bit of stretch and challenge towards the end!

Scaffolded worksheet that I used with a mid to low ability Year 7 group to build on place value to multiply and divide decimals, but absolutely perfect for KS3 & 4 as this often poses difficulty with foundation GCSE students. The worksheet features a worked example alongside an incomplete example. This makes it suitable to use for a “follow along” example in class; for a piece of catch up work, homework or revision; or even for use as part of a cover lesson.

This grid 8x5 grid contains 40 different one and two step equations. The layout is designed such to be used in different ways. The most simple use is for repetitive practice early on as pupils can work through a progression of questions. Another use is a game of 4 in a row. Going head to head with peer, who can be the first to get 4 in a row? Or, projected onto a whiteboard (interactive or otherwise), it can be used as a whole class team game of Blockbusters (either two class teams or beat the teacher!). Who can create a path from left to right or top to bottom first? This works well because they get progressively more challenging going right to left and top to bottom meaning they can’t just choose the “easy” ones!

50 Questions covering basic area. Covers area of a square, rectangle, triangle, parallelogram and trapezium. Each set of 10 questions is preceeded by a worked example, all of which demonstrate a good way of laying out work as a reminder of expectations for presentation.

Worksheet to consolidate work on area of a circle. It includes questions on: area of a circle given radius area of a circle given diameter area of a semi circle given radius area of a semi circle given diameter finding the radius given the area Each different type of question has a worked example. Perfect for with a KS3 class learning area of a circle for the first time or a GCSE class revising the topic.

A 9 slide PowerPoint in which pupils have to state which angle relationship is being represented: alternate, corresponding or co-interior. This was used with a low ability year 8 group to assess whether they could spot the shapes of the relationships (F, Z and C angles) whilst still reinforcing the correct names (as is now required at all levels at GCSE).

This basic angle facts recall starter covers the three angle facts that are learnt in KS2 and revisited in KS3 and KS4. These are: angles on a straight line sum to 180 degrees angles around a point sum to 360 degrees vertically opposite angles are equal It features incomplete sentences for an element of literacy at the start of the lesson as well as 3 questions per fact, each of which is accompanied by an example that simply shows the size of the angles to help jog their memory!
