These KaBoom cards are a fun way to practice times tables, with differentiation built in. Players choose whether they want to choose an easier question (red), but will receive less points for their correct answer, or risk a more challenging question (green) and gain greater rewards.
The red cards consist of questions in the 2, 5, 10 and 11 times tables including some pictorial representation. The Yellow Cards consist of questions in the 3, 4, 6 and 9’s. The green card consists of times tables questions which students commonly get wrong such as 6x9, and consists of the 7, 8 and 12 times tables.
Begin by laying all the cards out face down (so you see only the number of points they are worth). Players take turns to select a card, either red, yellow or green. The difficulty of the questions will increase. They may also pick up either a Steal Card, giving them a chance to steal from any other player, a Shield, which protects them from the next KaBoom, and KaBoom cards which means you lose all your collected points so far.
Play as a whole class in teams, or print multiple copies to play in small groups around the table. If students get the answer incorrect, or they need some help, you as the teacher decides whether you will allow them another guess or not. Questions answered incorrectly go in the ‘house’ pile, along with any cards lost in a KaBoom. At the end of the game, add up the ‘house’ pile. The winner is the player or team with the highest points (including any shield cards that have been unused). The house can win.
Included are two copies of the game; one designed for a double sided printer and one designed for single sided printing where you need to turn over the pages yourself to print double sided.
Full instructions are included as are answers.

These clip cards are a great way to test students’ knowledge of telling the time using a physical multiple choice system. It includes o’clock, half past, quarter past & to and 10 & 1 minute intervals, and contains converting between analogue clock & 12 hour, analogue clock & word form, Word form & 12 hour, and 12 hour & 24 hour. The given possible answers have been carefully chosen to allow teachers to spot any misconceptions students may have about telling the time.
The idea of this activity is that students work out the correct conversion of the given time, then clip a clothespin/peg or a paperclip to what they think is the correct answer.
This activity works equally well when the cards are laminated. Students simply circle the correct answer using a dry erase marker. Alternatively, you can print these on paper, hand out to your class at the end of the lesson, so they can put their names on and circle the correct answer, serving as a great exit ticket/plenary to the lesson.
These cards are in colour, but print equally well in grey scale for cost savings.
To make them self marking, simply place a dot on the underside of the card pertaining to the correct answer.

These 30 follow me cards are a great way to revise pythagoras theorem in right angled triangles. Play is similar to dominoes, where the cards are placed end to end with the question to the answers, but each question only has one answer. Students connect the questions and answers together forming a chain, with questions steadily getting harder.
Some ideas for how to use follow me cards:
-Have a treasure hunt, around the classroom or outside. Students start with the starter card and record the solutions in the table.
-Students each take ownership of a card, and then get themselves in line correctly with the answers. If there are more than 30 students, assign some students as ‘managers’. If there are less than 30 students, the first students to connect their cards can be given the remaining cards.
- Cut each card in half and give the students a matching activity. They can then glue the answers into their books.

This is a fun way to practice Order of Operations questions, also known as BIDMAS, BODMAS or PEDMAS. It encourages students to remember to do brackets first, then indices/exponentials, then division and multiplication, then finally addition and subtraction. Some questions have been designed to show up misconceptions such as 6-3+4. A common mistake is that students add 3+4 then take that away from 6, rather than doing the sum in order.
A card game based on the traditional game of Rummy, where normal cards are exchanged for cards that feature calculations which challenge a player’s knowledge of the order of operations There are 52 cards, 4 suits, 13 cards per suit as per a normal game of rummy.

The first worksheet introduces students to the concept of finding fractions of amounts using unit fractions (with a numerator of 1) as a division sum. It also includes a fill in the clue puzzle. The second worksheet expands on this concept, by introducing the idea of finding fractions of amounts as being division of the denominator (splitting the amount into groups) and multiplying by the numerator (counting how many groups we want).
The third worksheet is a puzzle where students link the two similar answers with a straight line that goes through a letter. The letters spell out a famous mathematician. The first differentiation of this includes a reminder of how to find fractions of amounts.
The fourth worksheet consists of a collection of fraction questions about a clock maker. It consists of word problems looking at the digits of a clock, minutes in an hour and hours in a day, all in terms of fractions. The fifth worksheet again looks at fractions word problems. Images are provided to help students find the answers. Differentiation 1 includes a reminder of how to find a fraction of amount. Differentiations 2 and 3 consist of a question with more difficulty.
Worksheet 6 asks students to find 10%, 50% and 25% of amounts, and worksheet 7 extends this to include 20%, 5% and 1%. Differentiation 1 of worksheet 7 includes a helpful guide of how to find each percent as a division. This worksheet is a fun maze activity. The next activity, Percentage grid, encourages using a grid to find percentages, and includes some more challenging percentage questions.

The second worksheet is about stating the fraction of the shape or group of objects that are shaded. The first differentiation gives clues for the first few questions, level two just gives an example, and level three asks students to simplify where possible. The third worksheet is a continuation of the second, this time asking students to shade the given fraction on the shape or group of objects.
The fourth worksheet has students connect a written fraction to its shaded shape form. When these lines are connected, a name of a famous mathematician is discovered. For the level 1 differentiation, some answers are given to get them started. The fifth worksheet looks at letters and asks students to find what fraction of certain letters are vowels or are made up of words. It also consists of some simple adding decimals.
Worksheet six consists of number lines. Students are asked to put fractions and decimals in the correct places on the number lines. They are also asked to identify where 1 is on the number line, given the position of a given fraction. Differentiations 2 and 3 explore top heavy fractions.
Worksheet seven asks simple fraction word problems. Worksheet eight builds on this by comparing the sizes of fractions directly. Differentiation 1 includes images of fractions as well as the written form to help students visualise the solution. The ninth worksheet is a continuation of worksheet eight, but covering decimals. The tenth and final worksheet also asks students to compare fractions to find the largest, but in a more fun way. The worksheet consists of pictures of stones in a pond, and students must choose the largest fraction in each column to step on to get across the pond.

This is a card game for learning Factors and Multiples. Students take turns to play a factor card from their hand into a multiple card that is in play. Once a factor has been played on a particular card, no other player can play it again.
There are exactly the correct amount of factor cards to match the multiple cards (except for itself and 1), so you could also play this as a simple matching game. I often do with my students; though be warned that it takes up the whole room.
The pack contains a full set of rules and a cheat sheet to show which multiples go with what factors. The cards are also super easy to cut out thanks to easy-cut guides.
This game is available in CARD GAME BUNDLE 2 with 4 other card games at a discount.
