A 28 slide PowerPoint that provides examples of CAT4 assessment tasks and answers. CAT4 assessments consist of verbal reasoning – thinking with words; quantitative reasoning – thinking with numbers; non-verbal reasoning – thinking with shapes and spatial ability – thinking with shape and space. Many schools use CAT4 to provide ‘predictions’ for GCSE results. Four sets of practice assessment questions are provided plus additional questions. These questions should be practiced by students so they understand the patterns and inner logic of the four reasoning areas away from the pressure of sitting at a computer with the assessment about to begin, and the clock about to count down.

A 46 slide PowerPoint that introduces or utilises many mathematical concepts. Mainly for post-primary settings but elements could be used in primary. A free pdf can be downloaded here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-12555186 There is at least a months material for lessons and will be useful for revision classes or an introduction to the concepts involved. Please review it if you download it and do put it to good use. The PowerPoint allows the teacher to introduce the key ideas to students via animated slides. Most of the ideas are easier to access through animation and slow reveal. There are answers for most problems in the slides notes. These are the concepts covered: Match Combinations: generalisations, combinations, multiplicative reasoning Two-way grids: preparation for simultaneous equations Comparing texts: data handling, sample sizes, mode, range Direction and distance: compass directions, left and right directions, absolute, relative Rectangle: area, perimeter, asymptotes Square patterns: 1. multiplicative reasoning, graphs, tables, algebraic manipulation, sequences, linear, quadratic Dissecting a square/rectangle: tangram, square, parallelogram, triangle, proportion, percentages Problems about perimeter and area: area, perimeter Ratio and proportion mystery: percentages, ratio, proportion, average (mean) House swap: interpreting distance-time graph Probability mystery: probability, card sort Fractions mystery: fractions, card sort Venn diagrams: factors, multiples, prime numbers Broken window: logic Shikaku: introduction and development Three problems: algebraic reasoning Logic puzzle: introduction to this type of reasoning What’s it worth?: preparation for simultaneous equations Wacky races: ordinal and time logic puzzle, card sort Sudoku Znorlian: binary, sequences, card sort Roofs: algebraic reasoning Antidotes: ratio, percentages, fractions Percentage paradox: introduction to Simpson’s paradox Probability investigation: tally table, sequence of outcomes Card trick: binary, base 2 place value headings

A 17 slide PowerPoint that provides main themes surrounding CAT4 assessment tasks. CAT4 assessments consist of verbal reasoning – thinking with words; quantitative reasoning – thinking with numbers; non-verbal reasoning – thinking with shapes and spatial ability – thinking with shape and space. Many schools use CAT4 to provide ‘predictions’ for GCSE results. The ppt provides an introduction to CAT4 assessments. The normal distribution curve is outlined and the realtionship with stanines and standard age scores and how they are derived from raw scores. The important visual-spatial dynamic of CAT4 is dealt with in detail. Finally, caution is raised when using assessments to label students and create self-fulfilling narratives.

A 33 slide PowerPoint showing an approach to multiplication for teenage students who have not rote learned them. It combines the Operational Principles with the area model of multiplication to empower students to apply a small number of tables to calculations (x1, x2, x3, x5 and x10). It also covers the area model of division and mental strategies for multiplication and division. It is aimed at Maths Dept CPD rather than for school students. It is pedagogical for Maths Teachers although some slides would be useful for teaching. Years of experience of training Maths teachers, research and thinking has gone into this resource. A free pdf of the PowerPoint is available.
