This booklet is designed to help Year 7 and Year 8 students develop and build skills in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. The sample pages are taken from my larger 2 booklets on general maths practice for Years 7 and 8. While this sample only covers arithmetic the other 200 page booklets cover all maths topics and are of similar style. Download it, it is free to use and distribute. While you are at my shop download the other free booklets for Years 1 up to Year 8 and send on to your colleagues.

This is the first booklet from my £3 download Mathematics for Years 3 and 4. If you like this 60 page free sample then use it in class and please purchase the full 3 book set. The books contains a structured, easy-to-follow series of fun activities to stimulate and challenge the advancing mathematician This particular booklet covers shapes and patterns, graphs, ordinals, counting, adding, subtracting, multiplication and division. I have used it as a homework booklet for my classes to complement the work we did at school.

This is the full part 1 of my 3 part, easy-to-follow series of fun activities designed to stimulate and challenge the maturing mathematician. Download the other FREE samples for other years and distribute to your colleagues! The whole series can be purchased from this site for only £3. This booklet (Part 1) covers methods of multiplication, number patterns, ordinals and counting up to 1000, adding and subtracting strategies, fractions and money calculations. Not all worksheets are created equal. Each page in this series delivers value. They are not just to keep students busy and occupied but they are designed to directly support active and progressive learning.By the end of the book students will have a better awareness of numbers and number relationships and more confidence when manipulating larger numbers. Here is information about the other books in the series. Part 2 covers number sequences, arithmetic strategies, measurement and fractions. By the end of the book students will have gained confidence with arithmetic and will recognize the value of each digit that makes up a number Part 3 covers arithmetic strategies, fractions, statistics and measurement. By the end of the book students will be confident in their ability to manipulate numbers. Success and confidence in mathematics will lead to an increase in motivation and an enjoyment of learning. This resource can be as separate extra sheets to reinforce concepts being taught in class or copied into 3 booklets for students to take and study at home. This will complement school work and have an enormous impact on future academic achievement.

In this resource you will find some activities that have been traditional favourites in Early Childhood Centres for many years. Other activities have evolved spontaneously from our exploration of materials and resources or from my own experimentations and interests. All the activities are ‘hands-on’ and provide opportunities for children to explore, hypothesise, observe, reflect and revisit. Most involve resources and equipment that are inexpensive and easy to access, and all of them are lots of fun! The book also emphasises the opportunities that science activities offer teachers to extend thinking skills and develop conceptual understandings. To this end I have described what children might observe and the potential learning that may result from their participation. I have also listed questions that teachers might usefully ask to challenge thinking. I hope you enjoy this resource and the activities it contains, but also that you might be inspired to create your own.

After 42 years of teaching I was asked to put together a collection of my very best resources - pages that were guaranteed to keep students engaged and learning. This collection contains 160 pages of puzzles and equations to solve, expressions to expand and simplify and quick questions to answer. The sheets are bundled into 4 page sections which is ideal for 1 hour, 4 pages a week or a day. Each of the 4 pages contain a variety of work from basic fractions, decimals, integers and equations but as they progress these move more to applications taken from such things as chemistry, economics, levers and pulleys, statistics, interest rates, tax and insurance tables, engineering and other work related measurements and calculations. What are the measurements, what would you estimate, what is your interpretation? Puzzles, prices, what is the interest, how do you get out of the maze, what is the speed, how is sport related, maths in the maternity ward, how much gold is in jewelery, ten pin bowling scores, how are wheel chair ramps made? Anything that requires maths is probably found in this package. All the strands are covered with number, algebra, geometry, measurement and statistics. There are interesting trigonometry projects, solids to cut out, design and make, puzzles to solve, pictures to finish, patterns and measurements to make. A good rule I learned in teaching was to keep children busy. That only happened when you kept the work interesting and relevant. As a result I usually stuck to a formula, a series of quick questions that touched on past work. That got them settled. Then there was work around new concepts and finally an interesting puzzle or side project that helped them finish and want to come back tomorrow. All these pages have been used successfully in class. They work!
