Excel multiple choice quiz of 12 questions aimed at revealing a pupil’s basic maths misconceptions ie. 2 + 3 x 4 = 20! To encourage better results and to discourage random guessing, none of these & don’t know are listed as possible answers. A repeat of their 12 answers, name and group is given at the bottom of the sheet. This is for easy collating of results by layering sheets and copying. The resource can be used as an engaging starter or a simple diagnostic tool. It can be presented as a worksheet or done on computers then saved or single-page printed.

KS2, KS3, KS4 Resource. Excel self marking resource. Aims to improve pupils times table knowledge. Any times table can be tested - even those beyond 12. Ten questions are randomly given from 1x upto 12x the chosen times table. At the end of test the time taken for each question is given and feedback is given on how well the pupil met the challenge. Good as a regular starter for ICT related maths learning or for longer focus to improve tables knowledge. A very flexible resource which can work with different pupil to computer ratios eg 1 to 1, 2 to 1 or even class to 1 if connected to IWB. It also allows for pupil or teacher directed learning.

This resource encourages pupils to have a wider understanding of fractions and the different situations they describe - Words, Diagrams, Decimals, Ratios, Words & Numbers, Facts, Percentage, Scale, Objects and the Fraction itself! The imagined use of this Excel sheet is that a fraction is given to (or chosen by) the student and then the student shows the fraction in its 9 other forms. This is best done by working on a printed copy of the Excel worksheet. However, the examples provided show that ICT capable pupils can complete the sheet by using picture tools in Excel and searching online. The printable sheet is provided both in colour and in black-and-white. There is also a basic black-and-white version which does not include ratios. The resource can be used to give pupils a wide understanding of where fractions can appear. It can be used for classwork, homework, poster work and is aimed at lower to middle ability KS2, KS3 maths.

An Excel file to practise mental and column addition. Random questions can be generated Or text book / worksheet problems can be entered. Different levels of difficulty can be tried: from 1-digit numbers (up to 5 values), 2-digit numbers (up to 3 value) through to two 4-digit numbers. The better you do, the better feedback comment you get!

This Excel Sheet helps you practice Grid (or Gelosia ) multiplication. There are grid sizes from 2 by 1 up to 3 by 3. Random questions can be generated Or text book / worksheet problems can be entered directly. Answers are automatically checked. As a grid is being completed, instant colour coded feedback is given.

Excel worksheet in which every all 20 sums have been done incorrectly. Pupils are to explain the common error in each question. Aim is for pupils to demonstrate a deeper understanding of written methods (column, adding on, gelosia and bus shelter). At an easier level, pupils can circle or highlight the error (or change its colour if done on computer). At a harder level, pupils can explain the common error made. Working through the written method correctly brings most of the errors to light. Very good for discussion, revising and learning written methods, diagnosing issues and encouraging checking work - I tell the pupils ALL the errors have come from pupils’ work!

This Excel sheet helps you practice subtraction by adding on method. It mainly targets 3-digit subtract 3-digit problems, although 4-digit and 2-digit numbers can also be used. Random questions can be generated Or text book / worksheet problems can be entered directly. Answers are automatically checked. As the grid is being completed, instant feedback is given. The balance between the amount of mental and recorded work can be differentiated but totally mental work gains no response.

Excel self-marking resource giving pupils thorough practice on rounding to one, two and three decimal places. Questions are random on Sheet 1 and can be answered going down, across or ad hoc. A range of responses is given depending on the correctness of their answers. Sheet 2 is more challenging in that no response is given until all three answers going across have been attempted. This resource can be used as a starter, activity, revision or a plenary and works very well as individual, paired or whole class task. (Note: if cell B1 is accidentally deleted pressing undo button should resolve OR re-typing: “=rand()*100”.)

This maths Word .doc worksheet is aimed at KS3, KS2 and lower ability KS4. The aim of the worksheet is to work out equivalent Fractions, Decimals, Percentages, Ratios along with shaded Diagrams. The answers make up a face: The ‘left eye’ is the decimal; the ‘right eye’ the percentage; the ‘nose bridge’ is the fraction; the ‘nostrils’ the ratio and the ‘teeth’ are a shaded diagram. There is a harder and an easier sheet, plus a blank sheet to create own questions. Task sheet is good for individual, group, home and especially poster work (if enlarged and is editable. The blank faces sheet provides opportunity for more able pupils.

A maths resource aimed at KS3 but also KS2 to a large extent. Pupils sort fractions, decimals and percentages according to decimal places, decimal type, fraction type, fraction group. Also, finding compliments to 100%, 1 and 1 whole. Can be selectively used as a starter task or as a diagnostics on keyword knowledge or a plenary. Can also be used as a worksheet forming part of a main lesson. Pupils can further cement learning by peer marking - only calling the teacher to decide on any disagreements. Files are held as Word .doc documents

An A4 KS3 maths resource. A simple, selective review of some fraction, decimal or percentage calculations. Questions are on FDP equivalents; fraction of amounts, percentage of amounts, ordering FDP mix and percentage increase / decrease. Best used as a plenary, starter or homework sheet. The A4 worksheet is given twice with similar style questions but with different values used.

This maths resource is aimed at KS2, KS3. Pupils find the compliments of fractions to 1 whole, decimals to 1 and percentages to 100%. A good starter task for topics such as simple probability, percentage increase / decrease, proportion or ratio shading, Each 4x4 red grid contains the questions. Answer input is in the middle 4x4 amber grid and the green 4x4 grid checks question and answer compliment to 100%, 1 whole or 1 - as required. Questions in the 4x4 red grid can be edited.

This Word document resource shows 8 spoken sentences, each of which contains a fraction quantity. Students then rewrite each spoken sentence as a sentence containing a percentage. There is room on the worksheet for students to write their answers and show their working. The back of the worksheet can be used for the students’ or the teachers’ own examples. Percentage answers are given on page 3 of document. The worksheet is editable. This is a word document for converting fraction quatities to percentages. The fractions are given as quatities in a written sentence. Students can also be asked to answer using a sentence which includes the compliment percentage to 100%. E.g. for sentence 1 - “I missed 40% of the marks in my last maths test!”

A KS3 maths resource to practise (not teach) converting between fractions, decimal and percentages. Can be easily adapted to work at KS2 and KS4. A selection of fractions, decimals and percentages are treated as teams entered into a draw for a knockout competition. The criteria for winning a match can vary from, for example, being the lowest value; having most decimal places; value nearest a given figure such as 0.5. The draw is made and the competition is then run by the pupil(s). The resource is designed for 8 values but can easily be doubled to 16 values or halved to 4 values as required. Task may work best when done in pairs or small groups; or teams, where each team works with a different set of values and then contributes their winning value to the final (or semi final) etc.
