Multiplication Array worksheets for the 2, 3, 4 and 6 times tables. The arrays allow students to develop a pictorial representation of times tables whilst encouraging the transition towards learning them as abstract concepts. The second side of the worksheet encourages students to illustrate four different ways they can do their times tables.

Worksheet on calculating complementary and supplementary angles.

Worksheet on identifying types of angles and drawing certain types of angles.

Worksheet on Naming angles.

This Notebook presentation covers six lessons; 1. Adding and Subtracting past 0 2. Adding a negative 3. Subtracting a negative 4. Multiplying negatives 5. Dividing negatives 6. Mixture of the four operations Each concept is introduced through pattern spotting and backed up through direct instruction, focused practice and then a diagnostic question and/or a Craig Barton Venn diagram. Answers are included in the presentation. There are also active learning suggestions, including games and challenges. The direct instruction slides follow my “Education Scotland friendly” adaptation of Craig Barton’s example problems pairs. I have also included my own diagnostic questions in the presentation.

A collection of over 130 Diagnostic Questions on various mathematical topics. I have created the vast majority myself however some I have taken from Craig Barton’s “How I wish I’d taught Maths” and rewritten in smart notebook. For all questions I have tried to follow his “Five Golden Rules” for what makes a good diagnostic questions. They should be clear and unambiguous They should test a single skill or concept Students should be able to answer in less than ten seconds You should learn something from each incorrect response without the student needing to explain It is not possible to answer the question correctly whilst still holding a key misconception. I will repost this resource various times as I write new questions.

Worksheet starting with pictorial representations of adding to bridge 10. Progressing onto abstract questions and then challenges.

Confidence weighted multiple-choice quizzes allows practitioners to know something about the level of confidence students have in their responses. The negative scoring brings about an emotional response which is needed for the hypercorrection effect to occur. Confidence weighted multiple-choice quizzes have been found to be more beneficial for long term learning than regular multiple choice quizzes.
