Two sets of five worksheets. The easier set has just the Celsius scale displayed on the thermometer. The more difficult shows both Celsius and Fahrenheit. In both sets, pupils have to read temperatures in Celsius only. Useful real-world application of negative numbers.

Fun whole class PowerPoint activity for primary or KS3 classes: English with a bit of maths. Great for starters or plenaries. Teacher calls out a number (eg 12) which is the sum of two digits showing on the screen. Pupils choose two numbers (eg 8 + 4) that add up to the teacher’s number and, if correct, they turn those two cards to reveal two letters. As more letters are revealed, the spelling begins: pupils make as many words as they can. They are scored according to the number of letters they contain. The teacher may decide to set a minimum word length. The maths element can be made more difficult for more able classes ( eg '12 is the product of of which two numbers? ’ - Pupils could choose 4 and 3, 6 and 2, 12 and 1). Or it can be omitted entirely, and pupils simply select numbers to turn. There are 8 games included in the PowerPoint. And some frantic music. Turn your computer sound down if it gets too much!

These differentiated sets of worksheets are written to meet the objectives for Year 6 Number. Each of the four topics is split into three levels, indicated on the worksheets by 1, 2 or 3 stars. There are 3 versions of each worksheet. The material could be used in several ways: * work through all the levels with the whole class * use the levels to target varying abilities within the class * use extra versions of tasks to set as follow-up homework * where pupils are inclined to copy, use different versions of worksheets to ensure independent working * extra versions of tasks can be set as assessment at the end of a unit Learning objectives are given at the beginning of each sheet. A simple ‘thumbs up’ style of self-assessment is printed at the bottom of each task.

This resource provides sufficient material for a complete lesson on equivalent fractions, and enough worksheets for classwork, homework and revision purposes. It consists of a 17-slide PowerPoint presentation, 5 graded sets of worksheets, and a two-page help document to support learners/parents/support staff in the independent/homework tasks. The presentation has teacher-controlled animation to facilitate step-by-step working through of the method. After two slides dealing with key vocabulary, there are 5 showing how to use multiplication to find a second missing numerator, and a further 5 showing how to use division to find the first numerator. The intention is that during the whole-class lesson, the method will become embedded in learners’ memories as they work through a series of problems with the teacher, using the same ‘script’ for each. At the end of the presentation, there is a set of calculations for pupils to work on in pairs/small groups, before moving on to independent work. Answers are supplied. The step-by-step help sheets have a similar function to the presentation. The first shows how multiplication is used to solve equivalent fractions problems. The second deals with the division method. The 25 worksheets (sets of 5 with accompanying answer sheets) are arranged in folders, which are numbered in order of difficulty. Since the objective is to teach a method, rather than supply calculation practice, a secure knowledge of multiplication tables is not a prerequisite of success at this level. The easiest folder requires only that pupils know the 10 times table. The other folders also have denominators of 2 and 5.

3 zip files (easy, medium, harder) each containing 5 ten -question worksheets plus answers. The task is to create factor diagrams and then to write out factors in ascending order (including 1 and number). The level of difficulty is determined by the number range. 2 page pupil help sheet supplied.

Set of six worksheets with answers. Telling time to the hour, half hour, quarter hour and ten minute increments.

A single worksheet of 20 questions with answers. The task is to estimate square roots of numbers such as 7, rounding them to the nearest whole number and using the inequality symbol for approximation.

These differentiated sets of worksheets are written to meet the objectives for Year 6 Number. Each of the five topics (addition, subtraction, long multiplication, short division, long division) is split into three levels, indicated on the worksheets by 1, 2 or 3 stars. There are 3 versions of each worksheet. There are 45 worksheets in all, plus answer sheets. The material could be used in several ways: * work through all the levels with the whole class * use the levels to target varying abilities within the class * use extra versions of tasks to set as follow-up homework * where pupils are inclined to copy, use different versions of worksheets to ensure independent working * extra versions of tasks can be set as assessment at the end of a unit Learning objectives are given at the beginning of each sheet. A simple ‘thumbs up’ style of self-assessment is printed at the bottom of each task.

This is a single worksheet with accompanying answer sheet as shown in the sample.

This resource contains a selection of engaging activities for Shrove Tuesday. The interactive quiz consists of a PowerPoint grid where 16 tiles are flipped one by one to reveal a pancake picture. To accompany it is a maths/general knowledge quiz. The answer to each question is a number between 1 and 16. Give out the quiz sheets and let the class work on them for a short time. Pupils then put their hands up to offer answers and come up to interactive board to flip the corresponding tile. The reading text is a recipe for pancakes. This would be a great practical activity in the morning, with the opportunity to eat pancakes at break! The accompanying comprehension questions, worth 20 marks, are accompanied by a mark scheme. For English, there is a further activity - a pancake poem by Christina Rossetti, which can be exploited for teaching/revising imperative verbs. A follow up task could be to find out something about the poet. The maths task consists of five word problems based on the recipe. Some are quite challenging (eg involving scaling the original recipe).

The zip file contains 12 folders, each with 5 versions of a worksheet. The topics covered are taken from the Y1 statutory curriculum for mathematics and include the following: • Counting forwards and backwards in 1s and 2s from a given number • Pictorial counting and addition • Addition and subtraction within 20 • One step word problems to 20 • Before, after and between given numbers • Money (5p, 2p and 1p coins) • Analogue time to the hour and the half hour With the exception of some of the very simple number activities, answer sheets are provided. In addition there are two single worksheets on shape recognition. A summary of the National Curriculum for mathematics is included for parents’ reference. There is also a PDF help sheet with ideas for structuring a 1 hour maths lesson, including simple ideas for mental and oral starters.

This collection contains sufficient material on multiples and factors to cover several lessons. The material is designed to equip beginners with the skills necessary to work with fractions. The presentation begins with an introductory slide showing how both multiples and factors are related to multiplication tables. It is then divided into two sections so that the teaching of multiples and factors can be treated separately if desired. Slides are advanced manually, but most are animated with conceal/reveal effects designed to encourage class participation in the lesson. Practice slides are included after each section so that learners can work in a supported way with partners or small groups before tackling fully independent work. Pupil handouts are included (a choice of black and white or colour). They have had answers removed so that they can be used as additional practice material. Learners will find them valuable as reference material when working independently in class or at home. The 35 worksheets are graded according to difficulty and organised into sets of five. There are three sets on multiples and four on factors. For the teacher’s reference, each worksheet has a footer showing the range of numbers used in each set. They should provide sufficient work not only for use during lessons, but also for follow-up tasks at home and for revision purposes. Answer sheets are provided.
