A pdf of a 46 slide PowerPoint that introduces or utilises many mathematical concepts. Mainly for post-primary settings but elements could be used in primary.
There is at least a months material for lessons and will be useful for revision classes or an introduction to the concepts involved. Please review it if you download it and do put it to good use.
If you think this is good, think about purchasing the PowerPoint. It allows the teacher to introduce the key ideas to students via animated slides. Most of the ideas are easier to access through animation and slow reveal. There are answers for most problems in the slides notes. It can be downloaded here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/dashboard/resource-management/add-resource/12555207/published
These are the concepts covered:
Match Combinations: generalisations, combinations, multiplicative reasoning

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.
A progression of mental maths strategies for multiplication and division from a basic level to GCSE level.
The strategies are grouped as ‘Change’ or ‘Split’. It invites students to change a problem, to an easier form, before splitting numbers, if necessary, to carry out a calculation.
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 fantastic way to introduce number bases and reinforce place value. Based on the wonderful Global Maths project at https://www.explodingdots.org/.
The 32 slide PowerPoint includes animations, blank templates and mini explosions!
