A small set of questions on parallel and perpendicular lines using the structure ‘change one number so that…’. PDF and original word documents included. These questions are a high ceiling task for extensions, or to summarise the topic. Students must change only a single number to make the pair of lines parallel or perpendicular. More able students will be able to give multiple answers and confirm that all possible solutions have been found.

A crossnumber focused on fractions of amounts. Perfect for extensions, or a problem solving lesson. Solutions and original document included. Includes palindromics and primes for a small number of clues. I have used with calculators and without depending on the focus and time available.

Four examples/questions on prime factor trees using the ‘Backward Faded’ structure whereby the scaffolding given is gradually removed and students need to fill in an increasing number of steps. Colour coding has been added to help students see the structure of the solutions. Can be used as independent investigation work for new topics, structured practice for topics already taught, or as whole class examples for the teacher to talk through.
