Minute Maths - Mental Maths Questions
james_traytonjames_trayton

Minute Maths - Mental Maths Questions

(0)
This booklet contains 2000 mental maths questions, involving all four operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Difficulty ranges from adding/subtracting two digit numbers only, to then using all operations with 3 digit numbers. Ideal for differentiation. This is a nice quick and easy starter to use to keep on top of those core mathematics skills. Minute maths involves sheets of 20 questions with the idea that students have 60 seconds to answer as many of the 20 as possible, hence Minute Maths. In this booklet there are 10 levels: adding and subtracting 2 and 3 digit numbers, multiplying and dividing timestables of up to 12 and up to 15. There are then combinations of all four operations for 2 digit numbers and timestables up to 12 and then 3 digit numbers and timestables up to 15. Each level has 10 different question sheets and each question sheet has 3 strips of the same questions to help with printing/photocopying. Formatting recomendation: alter the font size of a question sheet on its own, then print that sheet and do not save. Altering the size may shift subsequent question sheets onto seperate pages.
Expanding Single Brackets-Match Up Cards

Expanding Single Brackets-Match Up Cards

(0)
This resource contains 30 match-up cards, each displaying a bracket in the form a(bx+c). The solution to the expanded bracket can be found on another card, which will have another bracket ready to be expanded. Once all cards are placed next to the cards, such that the form in the brackets and its expanded form are touching, it will form a complete loop. a values range from 2…10 and b,c values range from 1…5. For larger numbers and a more challenging task I have a level 2 version which can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12472299 Or why not get both? As a bundle you can buy one and get one for a third of the price! Find the bundle here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/expanding-brackets-match-up-12472311 Fun Tip this game can be played in reverse and as a result factorising becomes the game!

Mixed Number and Improper Fraction Bingo

(0)
This PowerPoint presentation contains 2 bingo games, one for converting between mixed number and improper fractions and one for adding and subtracting between the two as well. I have also created a lesson which pairs with this resource well. The lesson covers both converting between mixed number and improper fractions as well as adding and subtracting the two, just as this bingo presentation.

Pythagoras Worksheet

(0)
This document contains 6 questions on calculating the missing side of a right-angled triangle. The questions only ask for the size of the hypotenuse, so this could be a worksheet used earlier on in the topic. The given side lengths do not exceed 15. Answers are included. Hope this can help!

Nth Term Practice Questions- Quadratic

(0)
This worksheet consists of 20 questions split into two sections. The first section includes questions which provide the quadratic Nth term rule and asks for the first five terms of the sequence. The second section provides the first five terms and asks can you find the Nth term? Answers are provided within the document. This worksheet is ideal for practice/revision of quadratic Nth term rules, building on the foundational knowledge on linear rules. A worksheet on linear rules can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12463962 If you like this worksheet then I have a booklet which contains 140 questions of the same format as this sheet. Ideal for those revision sessions or for having a solid bank of questions to use as worked examples. Link to the booklet: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12465877

Pythag Pile Up Level 1
james_traytonjames_trayton

Pythag Pile Up Level 1

(0)
This worksheet includes 8 right-angled triangles, each (apart from the bottom one) with two side lengths missing. The bottom triangle has two side lengths provided, from which its hypotenuse can be calculated. This then gives an additional side length for the triangle above, allowing the hypotenuse of this triangle to be calculated. This then continues up the page. Not all triangles fit perfectly together so for some triangles extra measurements are provided. This is my level 1 worksheet, as no rearrangement of Pythagoras is required, level 2 will include this. Hope this is helpful! Final answer when rounded to 1 decimal place is 6.0 cm.

Expanding Brackets Match Up Bundle
james_traytonjames_trayton

Expanding Brackets Match Up Bundle

2 Resources
This bundle has two documents which contain 30 match up cards each, which display a bracket in the form a(bx+c). The solution to the expanded bracket can be found on another card, which will have another bracket ready to be expanded. Once all cards are placed next to the cards, such that the form in the brackets and its expanded form are touching, it will form a complete loop. The documents differ slightly in the size of the numbers used. The first has a values range from 2…10 and b,c values range from 1…5, the second a values range from 2…20 and b,c values range from 1…15, for that extra challenge. This bundle is ideal for differentiation, in essence all students are working on the same task, however for those who require that extra challenge, the larger numbers can keep them busy. Whilst those who are struggling or have missed a lesson can practice the process of expanding a single bracket without the need for complex calculations.

Factorise Linear Expressions: Practice questions

(1)
This resource contains 20 questions which involve factorising linear expressions/equations. All answers are of the form: a(bx+c) and the range of values are, a=1…10, b and c =1…5. This worksheet is the first of two worksheets, the second having larger ranges for a, b and c and adding an extra challenge. The second worksheet can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12470925. Downloading both worksheets could help when it comes to differentiating, having smaller number to help those understand the process. Also, having more complex numbers to challenge those who already understand the process. Hope this can be useful!
