Mostly secondary maths resources here but you will find the odd English number sashaying in with jazz hands, occasionally followed by a primary resource cartwheeling behind. The resources are a mix of those I've used for tutoring (could be any age, any subject), those I've used in my training and those I've used in the classroom. As well as a few ideas that I needed to get out at 3am even though I have no use for them right away.

SATs Revision Maths Mat (Taster)

(1)
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.

6 Second Starter - Addition/Subtraction/Multiplication/LCM

(0)
The slides automatically progress after around 10 seconds (adjust the time you tell the class if needed, I find 6 seconds gives them the amount of urgency needed to focus and settle!) This resource was originally used at the start of a lesson on adding/ subtracting fractions as it helps recall all the needed skills. The questions in each set get progressively more difficult allowing for challenge at each stage. Works well for KS2/3 and SEND

Times Tables Game

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.

A triangle is

(1)
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.
