Colourful presentations including ‘fraction chains’, lots of authentic types of questions, and lots of activities for colouring in fractions. Everything for a wide range of abilities, right up to KS4. Year 3 - recognise and show, using diagrams, equivalent fractions with small denominators. Year 4 - recognise and show, using diagrams, families of common equivalent fractions. Year 5 - compare and order fractions whose denominators are all multiples of the same number; identify, name and write equivalent fractions of a given fraction, represented visually,. Year 6 - use common factors to simplify fractions; use common multiples to express fractions in the same denomination; compare and order fractions.

Practical activity using perimeter of shapes to introduce algebraic concept: KS3 - simplify and manipulate algebraic expressions to maintain equivalence by collecting like terms KS4 - simplify and manipulate algebraic expressions by collecting like terms Hands-on card matching activity for collecting like terms – great for pair work and discussion – with a full set of solutions in PowerPoint. Two similar worksheets – one for classwork and one for homework or recap the following lesson. Plus an extension activity with an investigation and more involved questions.

GCSE Higher Tier says ‘apply systematic listing strategies, including use of the product rule for counting (i.e. if there are m ways of doing one task and for each of these, there are n ways of doing another task, then the total number of ways the two tasks can be done is m × n ways)’. A clear, colourful and carefully explained PowerPoint presentation building up the skills from simple matching problems to calculating combinations and permutations in a variety of realistic and original settings, with lots of opportunity for the learner to reflect, apply, and evaluate the problems. Also available in my shop are two differentiated worksheets of adapted exam questions from sample and real GCSE assessments. Plus a PDF version that will work on all operating systems.

Maths. Descriptors and specifications for UK Key Stage 4, although equally adequate for KS3. All lovingly put into word clouds using Wordle. I made B/W versions some time ago, but now I've been asked for colour, so here they are. Copyright on final images (c)Colin Billett 2015 And all credit to Wordle, as cited on the website: 'May I make money off of Wordle images? Yes. You may take a Wordle, put it on your book cover, your t-shirt, your campaign poster, what have you. You may get rich off it. If you want to give credit to wordle.net, feel free!' So again, all credit to wordle.net, and many thanks! Any problems, please let me know and I can change the formats.

A recap of surds and simplifying expressions with surds, then a full presentation of multiplying brackets and surds, including the conjugate of a binomial. simplify and manipulate algebraic expressions (including those involving surds) by: collecting like terms multiplying a single term over a bracket taking out common factors expanding products of two binomials Lots of points to stop for the learner to try three of four examples, and each questions slide followed by the answers slide. Also suitable for A’level revision! And plus a PDF version should you have problems with the PowerPoint.

Maths Key Stage 2. Lots of questions in the style of SATs from right across the range of papers. Great for revision, practice, or checking learning at later stages, for example KS3 or Foundation GCSE. Using mathematics to solve problems using all four rules. In Word and PDF for ease of editing or printing.

Questions culled and adapted from some very old papers, which means that none of the current learners will have seen these. Actually, very little changes, although these are the more basic end of the scale - some of the new ones may be trickier, but these are great for the lower grades.

‘Work interchangeably with terminating decimals and their corresponding fractions (such as 3.5 and 7/2 or 0.375 or 3/8); change recurring decimals into their corresponding fractions and vice versa.’ A simple investigation into which fractions terminate and which recur, on PowerPoint and in Word, with a big set of results in PowerPoint to encourage class discussion. A PowerPoint presentation of the method, with some examples to do as a class or individually, plus a worksheet of fourteen questions, with answers. A clear and fully supported lesson. I’ve also included a pdf version of everything, since MS Office can be a problem on different systems.

A PowerPoint presentation to explore the nature of Standard Form, deriving the methods. Simple worksheet on conversions and another on calculations (KS4). Plus card matching activity and pair-matching activity. Everything to teach and explore the subject. All images ©2015 Colin Billett Objectives KS3 - interpret and compare numbers in standard form A x 10n 1≤A Foundation and Higher Tier - calculate with and interpret standard form A × 10n, where 1 ≤ A < 10 and n is an integer.

PowerPoint to introduce the rules of indices, using number and with lots for the learners to do, and which can be used as a prelude to algebraic manipulation of powers. Refresher activity on KS3/Foundation powers and roots, plus a worksheet on more complex examples for Higher Tier GCSE. Plus objectives for pasting into lesson plans. And a single page 'matching' activity in PowerPoint or PDF.

Everything you need for a full lesson or two to introduce trigonometry and the tangent ratio from similar triangles. Let the learners tackle the activities, or guide them through with PowerPoint presentations. Presentations, worksheets, activities and solutions. Please leave comments, suggestions or corrections.

Colourful and kinaesthetic resources for one or two lessons, bringing representation of shapes to life, with loads of examples and suggestions for learners to try themselves. Fully differentiated with examples from simple interpretation to Higher Tier GCSE, but accessible to all at some level. Matching activities, worksheets, quizzes and a recap. Huge potential for extension, co-operation and constructive and active learning. PowerPoint activities suitable for printing as hand-outs for all activities and especially extension questions.
