I have been teaching MATHEMATICS (11-16) since 1990. I have regularly been commended on my classroom displays and the quality of my resources as I feel this enriches the student experience.
As a self-taught graphic designer I now produce professional quality materials for our academy/academy chain across all departments including posters/banners and promotional materials. I am currently working on updating some older resources as well as developing new ones!

SEARCH-FIND-COUNT - AT THE BEACH
USE INCLUDED POWERPOINT for WHOLE CLASS INVOLVEMENT
WORKSHEET AND ANSWERS CAN BE PRINTED VIA POWERPOINT
I have not tried this as I am a secondary teacher but I was trying to come up with an idea for a primary college that would make counting ‘more interesting’ .
I thought that the main image may be laminated to allow pupils to use a whiteboard marker to cross off/ circle the ones they have found.
A tally chart(s) also could be used.
I have included all the ARTWORK I have drawn as individual clip-art so that you could use them to create your own PowerPoints, Notebook files etc
If it a popular/useful resource, I may make a series with different topics/themes.
Please let me know what you think!

A PELMANISM GAME with 18 Christmas themed images.
The set I have made includes 4 of each image. So 72 cards in total.
These can be set out in various configurations
2x36, 3x24, 4x18, 6x12, 8x9 for game play
However you will need at least 2 copies of each image you use to make smaller sets
PRINTING
I have printed them back-to-back on 300gsm A4 card. (but paper will do if you are going to stick them on something else to act as a card back) So you have 9 cards on one side and the card backs on the other. Check your printer settings. Print one side, put the sheet back in the printer the opposite way around and print the card back page.
CUTTING OUT
I cut them out from the image side, a fraction inside the image design. In this way you should get an even border on the card back side if they have lined up correctly.
I have also use a craft corner cutter 4mm , to round off the card corners and put them in plastic cards sleeves to help preserve them and a box to put them in.

Given decimal values of a, b and c construct a magic square using by substituting them into the expressions on the template.
By collecting like terms and expression could be found for the magic number
Either answer worksheet can be reversed into a question worksheet where the students have to work out a,b and c
There are 4 worksheets in this set so that each student on a ‘table’ or seated near each other could have a different set of questions
Watch out for more resources in this series.
Solve by logic/reasoning or trial and improvement OR USE ALGEBRA
use as a worksheet or cut into strips or individual puzzles so each student gets a different question(s)
DIFFERENTIATE by giving students some of the numbers - see answers
Otherwise these are quite challenging.
A starting point could be giving out a blank grid and supplying the numbers and get student to fill in the numbers in the circles before trying to solve these puzzles.
Use the clip-art on your own worksheets or PowerPoints etc by overlaying text boxes. Use the questions/answers for the numbers.
I was only going to do 100 questions but ended up doing 1504 (94pages x 16puzzle per page) just to see if I could ,so sorry for the overkill!
For Classroom display or pupil books.

PENTOMINOES - 5x3 GRID CHALLENGE (only 3 pentominoes in each solution)
Find the 7 possible distinctly different solutions, i.e. no reflection or rotation duplicates for fitting 3 pentominoes into a 5x3 grid.
This challenge only needs 8 of the 12 pentiominoes from the set and these are indicated on the worksheet.
This could even be done without having any shapes at all by using the page of blank grids as a ‘working out’ sheet then transferring their final answers on to the worksheet.
This is compatible with my PENTOMINOES - STARTER KIT
The 15mmx15mm shapes will match up with the grid size on the worksheet and sheet of blank grids.
