A fantastic way to introduce number bases and reinforce place value. Based on the wonderful Global Maths project. The 32 slide PowerPoint includes animations, blank templates and mini explosions! Please review if you download and use it.

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 progression of mental maths strategies for addition and subtraction from a basic level to GCSE level. The strategies are grouped as ‘Change’, ‘Split’ or ‘Jump’. It invites students to change a problem, to an easier form, before splitting numbers or/and jumping along the virtual number line that exists in their heads. 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 22 slide PowerPoint that situates charts/graphs in the data handling cycle. It covers collecting, presenting, sorting and analysing data along with bar charts, line graphs, pie charts, decision tree diagrams, two-way tables, flow charts, Venn diagrams, stem & leaf diagrams and scatter graphs. There is at least a weeks material for GCSE lessons and will be useful for revision classes or an overview of the concepts involved. So, far instance, much greater depth would be required for averages. Please review it if you download it and do put it to good use. The PowerPoint 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.

A 22 slide PowerPoint showing some really important maths concepts in concrete form and which pupils should be aware of. Cuisenaire rods are the main focus but enhanced with the counting stick to produce a powerful arsenal for additive reasoning. It covers equivalence, inequalities, decimals, factors, primes, composites, fractions, squares and algebra. There is at least a weeks material for all ages at primary school and applicable to secondary students who have gaps in their understanding. Please review it if you download it and do put it to good use. The PowerPoint allows the teacher to introduce the key ideas to students via extensive use of animation. Most of the ideas are easier to access through animation and slow reveal.

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 makes clear the links between graphs of quadratic functions and intercepts, turning points and symmetry. It is completely editable. It works best with a=1 since the aspect of completing the square and bracket factoring need a more sophisticated approach (version 2?). It includes a blank template for students to complete. Let me know in a review if you have any further suggestions for improvement.

A four page booklet bringing various approaches together that aim to improve how questions are asked in the maths classroom. It is designed to be used for Maths Dept CPD rather than for teaching students although some slides would be useful for teaching. It encourages teachers to ask better questions and to develop student questioning in Mathematics. It includes a modified Bloom’s taxonomy as a prism through which to see questions in Maths.

A pdf of a 42 slide PowerPoint showing an approach to additive for teenage students who have difficulties with mental maths . It employs a Linear Model for addition and subtraction. It narrows the use of manipulatives to the counting stick, multilink cubes and base 10 materials. It is designed to be used for Maths Dept CPD rather than for teaching students although some slides would be useful for teaching. Years of experience of training Maths teachers, research and thinking has gone into this resource. The actual Powerpoint is available to purchase and has animation to enable conceptual development to be brought into sharper focus. Some slides are difficult to interpret without the animation.

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 short PowerPoint including examples, sheets and solutions of 3-dimensional (3D) combinations of cubes drawn on isometric paper as an introduction to plans and elevations. Some slides contain advice in the notes section. If you feel this is useful do please provide feedback particularly for any improvements that could be made.

A printable and editable bank statement for use in Key Stage 3 and GCSE Mathematics. Created in Excel so different figures can be used. Two statements are given, one with negative entries and one without. Please review since this is my first ever resource and I feedback would help me improve.
