32 task cards to practise arithmetic with fractions and mixed numbers (add, subtract, multiply and divide) that are perfect for cooperative learning activities. Print (flip pages on long edge) and laminate/ stick together to have questions on front and answers on the back. Designed to use minimal paper and printing - cards (with answers) are just 4 pages. Students can solve by applying knowledge of negative numbers. You can get students to quiz each other and swap cards using cooperative learning. You can also use for as an individual activity. Students can time how many they can solve in a set time frame – checking the answers on the back. Designed for KS2 and KS3 curriculum.

These algebra review sheets can be used with year 9 and edited for year 8. They cover the following skills: Use and interpret algebraic notation. Substitute numerical values into formulae and expressions. Simplify and manipulate algebraic expressions to maintain equivalence by: collecting like terms multiplying a single term over a bracket taking out common factors (factorising) expanding products of two or more binomials Rearrange formulae to change the subject. Use algebraic methods to solve linear equations in one variable. Answers are included. They can be used for assessment or for homework, or a combination of both.

This lesson contains whole class, individual and paired work. It includes a Powerpoint for whole class teaching and an individual task, as well as some flashcards or task cards for paired work. There is also some guidance for teachers on the notes section of the powerpoint. The lesson begins with the teacher explaining the different types of numbers, students then sort numbers into different sets as a whole class. After this student sort some numbers on their own and quiz each other on the number type of different numbers using task cards (the last two tasks can be done in any order). I estimate this lesson would take around 30 minutes. This lesson is aimed at CXC, 4th or 5th form students (equivalent t to year 10 and 11 GCSE) but can be used to teach any students about set of numbers. To see the slides in more detail you can watch the tutorial I created with the slides on my Tropical Classrooms Youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUvR9IROf5Y

Number Review Worksheets These worksheets are suitable for students in years 4 and 5 to allow them to review key number concepts. They are a great time saver and can be used for 17 weeks of homework or regular in-class review. They are simple but effective, allowing children to revisit previous learning of number so they can retain basic skills. When completing these sheets students practice: place value: order numbers, state the value/place of digits arithmetic with whole numbers: mental and written addition and subtractions, multiply up to 3-digit multiplied by 2-digit numbers, up to 3digit divided by 1 digit. fractions: addition and subtraction (with different denominators) rounding: to the nearest 10, 100, 100 prime numbers factors and multiples: including highest common factor and lowest common multiple. The first sheet includes just place value and addition but each sheet covers a little more of the number curriculum. Sheets are in word format so can be edited if needed. They are designed for year 4/5 but would also be useful for revision for year 6.

Repetitive play will allow students to build fluency in these multiplication tables. Students play in groups of 2 - 4. How to play Sort the cards into piles based on the shapes on the back. Each student gets a pile and shuffles their cards. On a start signal, students race to place their cards into the correct multiplication table mat. Students stop when the first person has gone through all their cards. Students then use the back of the mats to check all cards are in the correct place. They score 1 point for every card on the correct mat. They lose 2 points for a card on the wrong mat. Student with the most points wins. Teacher Instructions Print mats double sided and laminate.
