A nice starter for a lesson about using prime numbers - this activity requires students to use the Sieve of Eratosthenes to identify the prime numbers between 1 and 100. Suitable for KS2 and KS3.

This is a useful wall display for the start of term. There is a central poster showing the desired format for a page in a maths exercise book (feel free to edit to suit your school's requirements). There are also eight arrows to go around the outside, pointing towards the poster, detailing the key rules for good presentation in maths.

PowerPoint presentation looking at solving one and two step equations. The starter includes a range of questions to be answered on mini whiteboard covering one step equations such as g + 3 = 17. The explanation slides cover solving two step equations such as 5x + 4 = 23. The plenary is a ‘find the mistakes’ activity asking students to find and correct mistakes in a set of solutions to one & two step equations. Suitable for KS3 and KS4.

This worksheet leads the students through an investigation into infinite series and their sums. A great starting point for a discussion about the concept of infinity or extension to work on the topic of sequences.

This worksheet is ideal to use when introducing angles on parallel lines - particularly if you’re doing it with a lower ability class. It gives students practice of using alternate, corresponding and co-interior angles to find missing values, asking them to tick the fact they’ve used each time.

A useful worksheet introducing the idea of solving 1 step equations, using all four operations - perfect to set as cover work or for a low ability group. Suitable for KS2 and KS3.

Extensive booklet introducing students to the four basic laws of indices, with a range of practice questions. Also ideal for a cover lesson. Suitable for KS3 or lower KS4

Differentiated worksheet giving students practice of multiplying & dividing by powers of 10, including filling the missing power into given calculation. Suitable for Key Stage 3 and 4.

Quick starter activity introducing translation by asking students to move different letters around according to written instructions so that they spell out the word TRANSLATION

A nice worksheet asking students to label angles in a variety of 2D shapes as either right, acute or obtuse. Extension activity included too. Suitable for KS2 and lower KS3.

Great activity introducing the concept of loci through the context of a crime scene. The PowerPoint provides a set of task cards that can be used as a whole class with a full size ‘crime scene’ mocked up and/or as individual/pair work where students create a scale drawing of the ‘crime scene’ using loci. Works well with KS3.

Students are given clues in order to help them find missing questionnaires-themed keywords in a word search. Answers included. Great for revision, particularly for GCSE Statistics.

Set of cards showing fractions and mixed numbers. Students need to sort them into two piles according to whether they convert into terminating or recurring decimals.

Differentiated activity asking students to match up indices expressions to their simplified versions. Suitable for KS3 or KS4.

Students need to evaluate sets of four different expressions in order to establish which is the odd one out. Good starter or plenary activity. As an extension, get the students to design their own. Suitable for KS3 or KS4.

Set of extension questions requiring students to combine their knowledge of mixed number to/from improper fraction conversions with solving equations. Main task gives practice of setting up and solving one-sided equations. The extension problem gives a two-sided equation. Perfect for groups with a range of abilities where some need to practice the basic conversions whilst others need more of a challenge. Suitable for KS2, 3 and 4.

Perfect for challenging higher attainers. This worksheet goes beyond the usual finding fractions of amounts by asking students to find mixed numbers of amounts, progressing in difficulty throughout. Ideal for KS3 or KS4.

Two sets of loop cards requiring students to write different numbers as the products of their primes. Can be used as a treasure hunt around the room or as a group tasks.

Card sort requiring students to match up different times given in minutes, hours and hours & minutes. Useful for highlighting potential misconceptions.

Quiz quiz trade cards requiring students to round different numbers to 1, 2 and 3 significant figures. Suitable for KS3 and KS4.
