A spreadsheet that displays the multiples and factors of two or three integers.
Input 2 or 3 integers and multiples are highlighted in 1-100 number squares. One square shows the multiples of the first integer. Another shows the multiples of the second integer. The third shows the multiples of both.
The same is shown for factors.
There are 5 sheets:
a) factors of two integers (three 1-100 number grids)
b) factors of three integers (seven 1-100 number grids)
c) multiples of two integers (three 1-100 number grids)
d) multiples of three integers (seven 1-100 number grids)
e) multiples of two integers (one 1-1050 number grid)
The sheets are protected so students/teachers can only type in integers in the correct cells. They can be easily unprotected to make changes.
I would welcome any suggestions for improvement.
To play this Maths game, students need to know the following:
multiples
digits
prime numbers
square numbers
making a calculation using one operator (+, -, x, ÷)
using bingo cards

To be used alongside Teachers PowerPoint (see link below for ppt)
The aim of this unit is to develop an understanding of the benefits and different purposes presentations have, as well as develop the skills needed to give a presentation. This includes preparing, delivering and reviewing a presentation.

If you use it please review.
A progression of mental maths strategies for addition and subtraction from a basic level to GCSE level.
The strategies are grouped as ‘Change’, ‘Split’ or ‘Jump’. It invites students to change a problem, to an easier form, before splitting numbers or/and jumping along the virtual number line that exists in their heads.
This is a useful resource for Maths teachers of all age groups to see what are the next steps for their students and also to see the range of different possible strategies available.
A ten page workbook on the enjoyable puzzle game of Shikaku.
Simpler to master than Sudoku but with more mathematical content, Shikaku helps student develop spatial awareness.
It is a useful way for students to appreciate prime numbers in a concrete setting using the ares of rectangles and squares. Square numbers can also be contextualised.
An audit tool to use alongside the Ofsted research review of Mathematics. Maths Departments can use the tool to either audit the extent the department cover the identified features or audit how important the department views the features.
It enables Maths teachers and departments to identify areas of the review they think are important to address before homing in on the research of the relevant areas.
A self-evaluation tool assists to analyse and to assess the impact or use of the review.
A spreadsheet that checks 2 x 2 matrices calculations carried out in GCSE Further Maths.
Input 2 matrices (A & B) to get the inverse of A, B and AB and the square of A and B.
Also input two sets of equations in the form ax + by = c to get the values of x and y via matrices.
I would welcome any suggestions for improvement.
