Percentages Colour by Number Activity
This is a fun way for students to revise non-calculator percentage calculations using a famous artist (Keith Haring) colouring sheet.
Topics include:
- Finding a % of an amount
- Writing as a %
- Increase/decrease by a given %
Students identify the solution to each question in one of the three answer boxes. They then find the question number on the colouring sheet and colour the section in the colour that corresponds to their answer.
Included in your purchase is a question sheet, answer sheet and colouring sheet. I print this as an A5 booklet (also included) so that students can then glue this into their notebooks.
Students can also mark their answers by comparing their colouring sheet to the original artwork. An engaging way for students to learn about percentages and art!
Maths Posters
Here is a selection of posters for your Maths classroom. Included in your purchase would be 11 posters (pdf files) on the following topics:
Factors
Multiples
Negative Numbers
Square Numbers
Cube Numbers
Fraction Wall
Lines
Triangles
Angles
Area and Perimeter
Circles
Note on Negative Numbers poster - This is one way to help students remember how to multiply and divide negative numbers. Pupils draw a face like in the poster (or simply a circle with the three signs in to represent the eyes and mouth). They cover up the two signs from the multiplication/division problem. The uncovered sign will be for the answer.
Area of Circles - Colour by Number Activity
This is a fun way for students to revise finding the area of circles using a famous pop artist (Keith Haring) colouring sheet.
Questions ask students to (1) estimate the area by counting squares, (2) finding area when given the radius or diameter, (3) find the area of parts of a circle (e.g. semi- and quarter- circle) and (4) find the radius when given the area.
Students identify the solution to each question in one of the three answer boxes. They then find the question number on the colouring sheet and colour the section in the colour that corresponds to their answer.
Included in your purchase is a question sheet, answer sheet and colouring sheet.
Students can also mark their answers by comparing their colouring sheet to the original artwork. An engaging way for students to learn about area of circles and art!
Simplifying Expressions Colour by Number Activity
This is a fun way for students to revise simplifying expressions (with multiplication signs) using a famous artist (Keith Haring) colouring sheet.

Learn to Tell the Time - Dyslexia Dyscalculia Friendly
The Aramazu method of learning to tell the time on an analogue clock was originally developed for primary school children. This collection of resources adapts the Aramazu approach to appeal to secondary school students. I have used this approach successfully to teach 16-18 year old students with dyslexia and dyscalculia how to tell the time.
The resources included in this package are:
A Student Progress Tracker
I glue this in my student’s books. The tracker shows 8 levels that the students have to move up in order to reach the target. Students start at the bottom (level 1) and once each level is completed, we highlight it. The goal is to reach level 8. The progress path is shown both in words and pictures so all my students can access the information.
An Illustrated Set of Notes
These can be used as a interactive teaching resource or as handouts for students.
Flash Cards / Match Pairs Cards
The Aramazu clocks can be used as flash cards or together with the word cards as a matching activity.
A Giant Aramazu Wall Clock
Perfect for kinaesthetic and visual learners, a printable giant Aramazu wall clock for students to practise showing the time on.
I’ve also included a few worksheets and posters to support learning.
The end goal is for students to be able to tell the time to 5 minute intervals on an Aramazu clock. Once students have mastered this, you can then use the ‘Goodbye Aramazu’ resource to support students with the transition to reading a ‘typical’ analogue clock:

CSI Algebra - Using Formulae & Quadratic Equations
Here's a real life CSI application of algebra for your students....
There has been a suspicious death. Using their knowledge of formulae and quadratic equations, students have to gather evidence from the crime scene and mortuary to determine (1) who was with the victim moments before death and (2) whether the death was a tragic accident or cold-blooded murder.
At the Crime Scene - The victim died after falling from a balcony. Students have to collect information on the distance of the body from the building to determine whether it was an accidental fall or murder.
At the Mortuary - Students must match a bite mark left on the body with teeth impressions taken from three suspects to find out who was with the victim when he fell.
Answers included.

CSI Algebra - Using Formulae & Linear Regression
Here's a real life crime scene application of algebra and statistics for your students....
Human skeletal remains have been found on a construction site. Most of the bones have been crushed leaving only a pelvis, femur and tooth for students to examine. Students must identify who the remains belong to using their knowledge of formulae and linear regression. A task involving the normal distribution is optional (see further details below).
What comes with this resource:
- Teacher Guide
- Workstation task sheets (data & photo provided for the femur task)
- Workstation signs
- Answer sheet
- Missing person database
The activity involves 3 tasks:
★ The Tooth - Students will use a formula and measurements from the tooth to determine the age of the individual.
★ The Femur - Students will be given a sample dataset of human heights and femur lengths. They must produce a linear regression model relating femur length to height. Students will then have to measure the femur found at the site (photo provided) and use their regression model to predict height.
★ The Pelvis - Students will use a formula and measurements of the pelvis to determine sex. There is the option to replace this task with one that uses z-scores and the normal distribution. Two worksheets for the pelvis are therefore provided but only one worksheet is needed for the activity.
