I'm a former class teacher. My resources were originally made for use in my class, but sometimes I get asked to develop stuff for other people. I'm happy to make spreadsheets in particular!

(0)

0-100 Bead Number Line

0-100 Bead Number Line

(5)
I've been searching for a decent 0-100 bead line for a while now and struggled to find one I liked... so I made my own! Designed to be printed on A3, laminated and stuck together, this has three number lines in total. One side has 0-100 bead string and a divided line, the reverse has a counting stick. This is quite large, but it could be reduced to A4 pages in the printing settings.
Labels for parallel, perpendicular and symmetry

Labels for parallel, perpendicular and symmetry

(1)
I found that my classes have always needed some way of helping them to remember the differences between the terms parallel and perpendicular. Given that these are to be expected to be used from Year 3 upwards, I thought it would be useful to formalise my ideas and share them. There is nothing overly special here, but they work. Also included is a reminder about line symmetry. Comments are welcome!

2016 sample maths sat paper analysis grid

2016 sample maths sat paper analysis grid

(0)
An analysis grid to help identify key areas to focus on between now and the SATs. All based on the sample papers available from the gov.uk website. All that is needed to be entered are pupils names, genders, and dates of birth to work out their ages. After that, go through each question one by one entering the marks achieved (0, 1, 2 or even 3 marks are available in places). This might take time, but it is worth it as looking where children's gaps in knowledge are is vital to be able to support them in this new style assessment. Once the data is added, graphs showing which of the 9 areas are strong or weak are created, as well as radar graphs for each paper. This is heavily based on the old Cornwall Grids from 2006-ish, but it has been rewritten to fit the 2016 sample papers.

Mathematics APP Criteria on A3

Mathematics APP Criteria on A3

(7)
The most likely mathematics levels used in a Primary School (1-5) placed over 5 A3 pages. The only changes are the addition of a column to add dates of assessments in, which I find useful, and the occasional change of font size to make it more readable. I would print them double sided to make it even more accessible.
