Natural Numbers: Properties, Bounds & Rules
KS3 natural numbers worksheets and teacher-led PowerPoint covering factors, multiples, primes, bounds, consecutive numbers and mathematical language.
This Cogwins pack uses a fixed 1–15 bead number line throughout, so students can focus on the mathematics and the wording of each question rather than learning a new visual format from page to page.
New elements are introduced one at a time and then combined gradually. Closely matched questions change one element while the rest stays the same, making the pack suitable for teaching, consolidation, intervention, catch-up, homework and revision.

31 printable worksheets in Student and Teacher versions
