Transformations Pack: Students must reflect, rotate and translate different shapes to reveal the secret pictures! Pack contains: Translations Mystery Picture Suitable for younger students just learning translations and vectors. Reflections Mystery Pictures 1 & 2 Also suitable for younger students just starting to learn about reflections in a mirror line. The second version uses the co-ordinates axes and the line y = -x as mirror lines. Rotations Mystery Pictures 1 & 2 Students will need to be able to rotate 90 degrees and 180 degrees about a point. Most students will need tracing paper. The first version is on the co-ordinate plane and all rotations are about the origin. Mixed Transformations Pictures 1 & 2 These activities require students to use translations, reflections and rotations. Combined Transformations Pictures 1 & 2 These are the most difficult pictures to complete and require students to do multiple transformations to each object in order to find its place. The second picture takes place on the co-ordinate plane. Answers are included and can be checked at a glance, making it easy for students and teachers to know whether things are on track!

This resource is a collection of ideas to help students work on multiplying and dividing fractions. Including: Multiplying Fractions 4 in a Line Game This activity is to give students a chance to review multiplying fractions by fractions in a fun game activity. They must play in pairs to multiply fractions until they get four blocks in a row. Multiplying Fractions & Discovering Reciprocals This matching activity encourages students to think about a more varied set of situations where we need to multiply fractions, including multiplying fractions by integers and the need for cancelling. It is then followed with an activity that leads students from multiplying fractions to thinking about how to find pairs of fractions that multiply to make 1 - i.e. to discovering reciprocals. Multiplying & Dividing Fractions Match This activity focuses on helping students to recognise equivalent calculations. They have to match calculations that result in the same answer, by noticing that multiplying by a fraction is the equivalent of dividing by its reciprocal. Dividing Fractions Missing Numbers Puzzle This activity requires students to work out the missing numbers to make a series of statements about dividing fractions true. It progresses to include some cases of division with mixed numbers. All activities include answers.

This pack contains three worksheets related to the new GCSE objective on systematic listing and counting strategies. Worksheet 1: Systematic Listing Aimed at Foundation Tier students, but also good practice for higher, a set of problems based on systematically listing all the possible options in different situations. Worksheet 2: Product Rule (Multiple Groups) This sheet requires students to use the product rule in situations where they need to work out the total number of options from several different groups. Worksheet 3: Product Rule (Single Group) This activity is a further set of product rule questions, but slightly more challenging as it includes questions where students must select items from the same group. (For example, the number of ways of selecting two boys from a group of 8). Answers are included for all three worksheets.

Three activities to support students working on place value & decimals. 1. Reading & Writing Decimals Match Students must match together numbers and statements about their place value. For example, 0.62 matches with '2 hundredths'. The questions all involve the numbers 1, 2 and 6, so students really have to think about the place value of the numbers shown. They can also record their matching pairs in a table, which makes it easy for you to check if they are getting them right and provide feedback. 2. Place Value Puzzles This activity contains two pages of puzzles all about decimals and place value. Puzzles range from 'guess the number', based on clues about place value, to comparing and ordering decimals using inequality symbols. 3. Adding Decimals Code Breaker A code breaker activity where students have to add decimals to reveal a secret message. The decimals are of different lengths so students will need to use some written methods. Answers are included for all activities.

Similar Triangles Snap: In this activity there are 14 triangles and students must match them into pairs that are similar. Once they have matched them into pairs of similar triangles, they must then use the fact they are similar to work out the missing sides and angles.
