I taught in a range of schools for many years before moving into FE, where I found creative and imaginative approaches just as rewarding with adults. Most of my resources are concerned with giving control to the learner, through a range of methods. Some are great for just giving them experience of examination questions, and the chance to discuss these with other learners. I now concentrate on spreading the range of creations from UK KS1 to KS4, and across the Common Standards.

Step by step look at multiplication of mixed numbers, building on multiplication of proper fractions and addition, to create a simple algorithm. Clear presentation plus two sided worksheet progressing from multiplication of common fractions to multiplication of mixed numbers. Both as PDF for ease of showing on muliple devices. See my other stuff for presentations on PowerPoint of division, and addition and subtraction.
Introduction to GCSE Foundation algebra

Introduction to GCSE Foundation algebra

Can't say it is an introduction, but it is for post 16 learners, who I throw in at the deep end, or somewhere near it. An assortment of functions, formulas and some simplification, mostly copied from exam papers with a bit of poetic license. Later ones will be more specific in the topics.

What it says - simple 'fill in the gaps&' four rules of fractions, with some scaffolding by way of answers and interim stages for the addition and subtraction, which can be deleted before printing in the Word version if so desired. Plus pdf documents for those who prefer this format.

Four great bundles of stuff for developing skills and understanding in the area of probability. Great for introducing topics in Years 7, 8 and 9, and for revising skills later on. All you need up to and including GCSE Foundation and Higher. Plus two-way tables, which are a great way of giving opportunities for practising probability knowledge and skills.

Maths KS2 Year 6 or KS3 revision: multiplying pairs of fractions; presentation, worksheets, answers

(2)
National Curriculum Maths year 6, but also essential for revision in KS3, and great for lower tiers of Foundation GCSE. 'Multiply simple pairs of proper fractions, writing the answer in its simplest form'. Guidelines say: 'Pupils should use a variety of images to support their understanding of multiplication with fractions. This follows earlier work about fractions as operators (fractions of), as numbers, and as equal parts of objects, for example as parts of a rectangle.' Clear step-by-step presentation with questions and answers built in for class discussion and question/answer session. Everything for at least one lesson and some consolidation.

Maths National Curriculum Multiplying fractions Year 5 ’multiply proper fractions and mixed numbers by whole numbers, supported by materials and diagrams’ Clear, concise and colourful presentation giving a variety of real scenarios with appropriate images and photographs to give the learners opportunities the ability to see this topic from a variety of positions. And hopefully the learners will develop alternative ways to find solutions. A PDF version is included to ensure it looks good on any screen with any computer system. Plus a worksheet of questions, and another file with the answers. Meets the criteria for Year 5, but invaluable for revision in year 6 and in Key Stages 3 and 4.

These have been enormously popular. I teach a number of people who are far more artistically minded than mathematical, so I produced some visual displays to illustrate equivalences. Run the PowerPoint, or print off some slides for display. I've also added a few posters by way of example of how you might use the individual slides. For classroom activities I’ve included five pages of shapes to color for fractions etc to keep or display. Everything included in editable format, so use as many slides as appropriate for your age group or grade, or change the shapes pages as required. All images ©2015 Colin Billett
