This is a collection of 8 different resources and approximately 60 different Excel tabs. I use these as a premise for my starters with a mix of abilities from year 7-9. Each worksheet is differentiated, so you can give students varying sheets, or request they work from varying sections of the interactive whiteboard, whilst still providing them with the same answers. They foster a calm start to the lesson, and students always seem excited to learn when the lesson is started in this manner. The addition pyramids contain a self-check tool, so children can usefully self mark. The multiplication grid generator, includes an exciting ‘challenge’ sheet in which students have to work backwards to work out the row and column headers (using similiar skills to Sudoku). In addition to this the Cross number, and the times table grid excitingly contain a magic number extension. This involves students having to collate their answers, i.e. summing certain values, to obtain a magic numbers and perhaps win a small prize (sticker, or sweet, or just simple praise).

A whole lesson I designed for an interview lesson for year 10 state school in the UK, second set. A great visual way for introducing students into the topic of circle theorems. This lesson specifically focuses on two circle theorems:
Angles in the same segment are equal
Angle at the center is twice the angle at the circumference.
The most engaging part of this lesson is the gifs used during the lesson, and the opportunity for students to really master the topic through the use of pictures. Slideshow is many slides long and includes a very nice linked starter. Please watch video for lesson in full.

29 Worksheet Tabs Included! Ideal starter for KS3, although could be used for younger or older as differentiation available.
FOUR files are attached as a part of this resource, yet you can create an infinite number of worksheets all with attached solutions.
The general concept has been derived from a function machine. You start with 9 input numbers which need to go through two operations, subsequently creating an output. There are a total of four operation pairs, so there up to 36 answers students need to find. Working alongside this is a more challenging sheet, which involves the students using the ‘output’ numbers first to work out the ‘input’ numbers, and hence understanding the importance of working backwards through the operations. Most importantly, both the basic style worksheet and the challenging worksheet work in conjunction with each other, such that they both link to the same solutions, which are provided.
You click on the arrow tab for a new worksheet OR alternatively the ‘delete’ button. Topics included are four operations (including negative numbers); percentages of amount, and percentage increase decrease; fractions of amounts, and fraction increase and decrease; and standard. form.
Has been used many times successfully within classrooms for year 7s, 8s, and year 9s.

Stumped for how to make your lesson more exciting.
Look no further.
This is a fully comprehensive resource containing over 15 minutes worth of video footage and 23 powerpoint slides detailing exactly how to use Bitmojis in lessons. There are 7 different ideas, 5 of which are covered by the video. This is to add an element of surprise, intrigue and excitement into lessons. To get a feel of what the videos include, what the youtube video below.This comes after a year of trial and error of using these myself with years 5 - years 11. Please review if you found helpful.
14 slide powerpoint presentation, in which every other slide includes a video. Every other slide is a video of a venn diagram being shaded in, and the remaining slides are videos of the notational answers. You could use this resource in several ways. Firstly you could use the turquoise colour slides to give a Venn diagram notation, such as P(AnB’) and then you could get students to demonstrate their answers in their book. Alternatively you could use the pictoral videos, and ask the students what you think the equivalent notation is.
6 differing worksheet tabs are included
Printing is simple

This is a worksheet generator testing students’ knowlege on angles within a polygon. There are 6 different worksheet tabs testing on different areas, 5 test on unique questions, and the 6th worksheet tab randomly combines questions from all previous 5 tabs. There are an infinite number of questions, and corresponding answers available, as at the click of a macro button you can generatre a new worksheet.
Questions include:
‘If a regular polygon has an exterior angle of…, name the shape?’
‘If a regular three sided shape has an interior angle of …, what are the remaining interior angles and their exterior angles if they are the same?’
‘If the angles within a four sided shape are…, what is the other interior angle?’
The aim of this worksheet is to answer 8 questions at the bottom of the sheet and they should link to 8 answers above. All 8 answers above link either horizontally or vertically. The path always starts at the top left cell of the grid and it will finish in the bottom right position of the grid. The students should then label their grid path with steps 1-8, with the top left always being 1 and the bottom right always being 8. Finally the students need to copy the numbers from the grid above and match with their answers in the final right column (Section of Loop). This provides an 8 digit code which makes it easy for the teacher to mark.
For 30 of these files on different topics see: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-12756825
Two problems are included
First problem is repeated 3 times on one sheet for ease of printing
Second problem is repeated twice to optimise printing
First problem regards solely angles within a triangle.
Second problem regards angles within a triangle, quadrilateral and the harder sheet 2 includes alternate angles (the lattter doesn’t have to be included).
Cheat sheet, which is a good structure for supporting any ability to complete at least the first task.

This resource comes with EIGHT different times tables grids which you need to fill out the missing entries. There are both smaller grids (6x6) and larger grids (12x12) which involve a variety of differentiated problems. Some of the grids have row and column headings, whereas other involve a challenge to work out what the row and column headings are. Great way to revise times tables, or a settler in a lesson. The challenge problems involve loads of other sub topics, such as deducing ‘factors’, ‘solving equations’ and more.

Ideal starter for KS3, although could be used for younger or older as differentiation available.
The general concept has been derived from a function machine. You start with 9 input numbers which need to go through two operations, subsequently creating an output. The operation for this specific function machine involves four operations, and negative numbers. So you start with 6 and then ‘x6 +2’. There are a total of four operation pairs, so there up to 36 answers students need to find. Working alongside this is a more challenging sheet, which involves the students using the ‘output’ numbers first to work out the ‘input’ numbers, and hence understanding the importance of working backwards through the operations. Most importantly, both the basic style worksheet and the challenging worksheet work in conjunction with each other, such that they both link to the same solutions, which are provided.

This resource is based upon the popular idea of a crossword. However instead of using words, numbers are used instead. Clues are given by the yellow boxes in the forms of expressions. Some of the clues involve one step, whereas others involve two steps. Could use sheet with or without calculator depending on ability of the class. You get two diferentiated resources for each worksheet, as both the easier and harder worksheets provided give the same answers, whilst usefully giving different questions allowing differentiation within a class.

This is a worksheet including 18 simultaneous equations questions for linear and quadratic equations. This is a differentiated resource containing three levels of difficulty. Section 1 only has the variables ‘a’ and ‘b’, and for all 6 questions, a few decimal answers and a matching coefficient in each pair of eqautions. Section 2 has varying variables and unmatching coefficients. Whereas section 3 involves quadratic and linear equation, which touches on the topics ‘changing the subject of the formula’, ‘substitution’, ‘expanding brackets’, ‘factorising’ and ‘solving’. All three questions make this topic more interesting because of the use of ‘negative numbers’ as answers, as well as understanding the importance of the relationship between different signs.

Whenever I am doing a relay race I always find it quite monotonous that students are constantly getting me to check their answers during a lesson. Therefore, I’ve devised a spreadsheet to enable me to facilitate learning of questions rather than constantly spending the lesson to check if 100 answers are correct. Also this is good at limiting cheating when answers just become chinese whispers.
Basically you input the questions’ answers at the bottom of the spreadsheet and then click hide. Students then use your keyboard to input there answers for individual or sets of questions and if there answer is correct the cell will be hilighted in green. This gives a great way for students and teachers alike to monitor their progress throughout the answer. Beware you may need to set out some rules about how often they can input answers to prevent a queue from forming at the computer.
This is a choice of 4 different worksheets testing on the topic of percentages of amounts, through the mode of a function machine. Two of the worksheet are ‘Easy Questions’ whereas the other two worksheets are 'Hard Questions. For the easy questions students start with with a red grid in the central of the worksheet containing 9 different numbers, which is the input. They then need to find a percentage of all 9 of these numbers, such as finding ‘20%’ of the original numbers, obtaining an output number. This process is repeated four times, for four differing percentages which are both greater and smaller than 100%. The difficult worksheets differently start with output numbers, so students need to understand how to reverse the process, and to be able to divide by a multiplier ratehr than multiply by the multiplier. A resource which is ‘ready to go’, and both the easy and difficult worksheets are linked usefully by the same solutions. Please leave a review if you found this helpful.

Ideal starter for KS3, although could be used for younger or older as differentiation available.
The general concept has been derived from a function machine. You start with 9 input numbers, which needs to go through an operation. The operation for this specific function machine is to find fractions of amounts. So you need to find five sixths of 30 for example. There are a total of four operations so there up to 36 answers students need to find. Working alongside this is a more challenging sheet, which involves the students using the ‘output’ numbers first to work out the ‘input’ numbers, and hence understanding the importance of working backwards through the operations. Most importantly, both the basic style worksheet and the challenging worksheet work in conjunction with each other, such that they both link to the same solutions, which are provided. The picture provided demonstrates the answers to one of the potential worksheets.
