Redesign of cards to make them easier to use
This card game is a fantastic way to test adding and subtracting with negative numbers. The competitive nature of this game allows students to become confident in the addition and subtraction of negative numbers while also being fun and competitive.
Players are dealt a certain number of cards. A base card is then turned over, and players choose a card from their hand which is closest in value to the given card. Play continues for a set number of rounds, and the player with the most points at the end wins.
This pack includes 54 cards with negative integer questions. Included in the pack is an answer key for all cards and gameplay rules. The cards are also printed with easy-cut guides to make preparation fast and simple.

Redesign of cards to make them easier to use
This game is all about matching fractions, decimals and percentages. it includes several equivalent fractions as well. Included are:
a half
a quarter
three quarters
one third
two thirds
one fifth
two fifth
one eight
one tenth
There are 6 types of card in this pack, Black cards which feature simple fractions, 2 sets of Green cards which are their basic equivalent fractions, Red cards which are more difficult equivalent fractions, 2 sets of Purple cards which feature visual representations of equivalent fractions, Yellow cards which feature equivalent percentage values and Blue cards which feature equivalent decimal values.
There are two variations of this game. One is a classical game of snap, where students win if they spot equivalent cards appearing. The second way to use this, and one that has been popular with my students, is to lay out the base fractions in a line (or get students to lay them out in order of size, thereby testing their knowledge of ordering fractions) and then challenging them to race each other to match all the equivalent cards as quick as possible,
Full rules and answer key are provided in the pack itself. The cards are also printed with easy-cut guides to make preparation fast and simple.

This is a quickfire and competitive card game that makes triangle construction fun and enjoyable. It helps to develop skills in being able to construct triangles with three levels of difficulty; given two sides and an angle, two angles and a side, and three lengths. You will need a ruler and protractor for each player.
Break your class into teams, or have each member of the class compete. Turn over a card and students must construct that triangle. First player to complete an accurate construction wins. Each difficulty of card is a different colour, so you can easily differentiate the cards.
Answer sheet for players, and an answer key is provided. Players will need a pencil, protractor, metric ruler and compass for the hard cards.
This game is part of a Bundle at a discount price.
This pack is filled with engaging and fun worksheets designed to introduce students to equivalent fractions converting between fractions, decimals and percentages. There are 10 worksheets, each differentiated 3 ways. There are two files. One with the worksheets and one with the solutions and teachers notes.
This pack contains the following:
Worksheet 1 Bar Equivalence
Worksheet 2 Equivalent Fractions
Worksheet 3 Equivalent Linking
Worksheet 4 Simplifying Fractions
Worksheet 5 Percentages and Decimals
Worksheet 6 Tenths as Decimals
Worksheet 7 Buttons
Worksheet 8 Word Link Fractions Decimals and Percents
Worksheet 9 Equivalent Fractions Word Problems
Worksheet 10 Converting Fractions, Decimals and Percents
The first worksheet introduces students to equivalent fractions using fraction bars as a way of comparing. The second worksheet consists of fraction circles as a way to compare equivalent fractions. The third worksheet is a linking activity where students link drawn equivalent fractions. This time the drawn fractions are in different shapes, such as circle, square, octagon, so students are required to find the fraction of the shape that is shaded before connecting it to the equivalent fraction.
The fourth worksheet is a more traditional equivalent fractions sheet, asking students to simplify fractions in the numerical form. The fifth worksheet covers converting between decimals and percentages, and the sixth worksheet covers converting decimal fractions (fractions with a denominator with a power of 10 such as 10, 100 and 1000) into decimals and percentages.
The seventh worksheet is a challenge worksheet looking at what fraction of buttons are shaded. It encourages simplification, and differentiation 3 even has a question about percentages.
The eighth worksheet is a work link puzzle, where students connect fractions to equivalent decimals and percentages with lines, which go through letters on the page which froms a word. It covers 1/2, 1/4, 3/4, 1/5, 2/5 and 1/10
The ninth worksheet consists of word problems involving equivalent fractions. Differentiations 1 and 2 include circle fractions for shading to help with the questions. The final worksheet covers converting between fractions, decimals and percentages including using inequality symbols to state which number is larger, and an ordering fractions decimals and percentages question. It consists of 1/2, 1/4, 3/4, 1/5 and decimal fractions (fractions with denominators that are powers of 10).
This pack is also available as part of our Fractions Decimals and Percentages Bundle available here.
These KaBoom cards are a fun way to practice times tables, with differentiation built in. Players choose whether they want to choose an easier question (red), but will receive less points for their correct answer, or risk a more challenging question (green) and gain greater rewards.
The red cards consist of questions in the 2, 5, 10 and 11 times tables including some pictorial representation. The Yellow Cards consist of questions in the 3, 4, 6 and 9’s. The green card consists of times tables questions which students commonly get wrong such as 6x9, and consists of the 7, 8 and 12 times tables.
Begin by laying all the cards out face down (so you see only the number of points they are worth). Players take turns to select a card, either red, yellow or green. The difficulty of the questions will increase. They may also pick up either a Steal Card, giving them a chance to steal from any other player, a Shield, which protects them from the next KaBoom, and KaBoom cards which means you lose all your collected points so far.
Play as a whole class in teams, or print multiple copies to play in small groups around the table. If students get the answer incorrect, or they need some help, you as the teacher decides whether you will allow them another guess or not. Questions answered incorrectly go in the ‘house’ pile, along with any cards lost in a KaBoom. At the end of the game, add up the ‘house’ pile. The winner is the player or team with the highest points (including any shield cards that have been unused). The house can win.
Included are two copies of the game; one designed for a double sided printer and one designed for single sided printing where you need to turn over the pages yourself to print double sided.
Full instructions are included as are answers.
This product is available as part of a bundle with other KaBoom cards, at as discount. Click here to find out more.

These 30 follow me cards are a great way to revise mean, median and mode. Play is similar to dominoes, where the cards are placed end to end with the question to the answers, but each question only has one answer. Students connect the questions and answers together forming a chain, with questions steadily getting harder.
Some ideas for how to use follow me cards:
-Have a treasure hunt, around the classroom or outside. Students start with the starter card and record the solutions in the table.
-Students each take ownership of a card, and then get themselves in line correctly with the answers. If there are more than 30 students, assign some students as ‘managers’. If there are less than 30 students, the first students to connect their cards can be given the remaining cards.
- Cut each card in half and give the students a matching activity. They can then glue the answers into their books.

This is a fun way to practice Order of Operations questions, also known as BIDMAS, BODMAS or PEDMAS. It encourages students to remember to do brackets first, then indices/exponentials, then division and multiplication, then finally addition and subtraction. Some questions have been designed to show up misconceptions such as 6-3+4. A common mistake is that students add 3+4 then take that away from 6, rather than doing the sum in order.
A card game based on the traditional game of Rummy, where normal cards are exchanged for cards that feature calculations which challenge a player’s knowledge of the order of operations There are 52 cards, 4 suits, 13 cards per suit as per a normal game of rummy.
