A 33 slide PowerPoint showing an approach to multiplication for teenage students who have not rote learned them. It combines the Operational Principles with the area model of multiplication to empower students to apply a small number of tables to calculations (x1, x2, x3, x5 and x10). It also covers the area model of division and mental strategies for multiplication and division. It is aimed at Maths Dept CPD rather than for school students. It is pedagogical for Maths Teachers although some slides would be useful for teaching. Years of experience of training Maths teachers, research and thinking has gone into this resource. A free pdf of the PowerPoint is available.

A 25 slide PowerPoint showing an incredible amount of things you can do with a 7 piece tangram. It covers 2D shapes, angles, area, proportion, percentages, fractions, square-roots, symmetry, compass directions, algebra, bearings and vectors. There is at least a weeks material for a KS3 or KS4 class and also could be used as revision. Please review it if you download it and put it to good use. The ideas used are adaptable and could be used for other square based patterns. It has interesting animations and some of the ideas are easier to access through animation.

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.

A pdf of a 6 slide PowerPoint that uses Couch to 5K as a context for thinking about time, distance and speed. The cards and tables of each C25K session are useful to initiate class conversations about components of speed and how to go about getting fitter. Ratio and percentages can also be explored using this context. The PowerPoint is available with the correct answers and spreadsheet containing the constructed charts which can be edited. They can be downloaded from here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-12850971
