I have been teaching MATHEMATICS (11-16) since 1990. I have regularly been commended on my classroom displays and the quality of my resources as I feel this enriches the student experience.
As a self-taught graphic designer I now produce professional quality materials for our academy/academy chain across all departments including posters/banners and promotional materials. I am currently working on updating some older resources as well as developing new ones!

Did you every want that odd sheet of Specialist paper for a lesson and couldn’t find any?
AND did you want/need any A3 size so you didn’t have to stick A4 sheets together?
IN this collection you will find Black, Green, Blue, Red and Grey versions of the follow papers A4 and A3

All are PDF files and sometime when viewing you might need to either zoom in or out to see the detail
If printing the A3 version you will need to make sure it is sent to an A3 printer otherwise it will try to tile and you’ll end up with 4 sheets instead of 1.
Any of the colour versions will print grey if printed in greyscale in various shades of grey depending on the colour. I have included a grey version that should print 50% black.
IF there are any other PAPERS you want adding to this collection please make a comment and i’ll endeavour to add it to the collect as soon as possible.
I hope there are useful!
44 - A5 workeets spread over 22 - A4 pages.
For handwriting practice and practice forming letters and numbers,
Examples on each page on how to form each letter with starting points
Page for each letter upper/lower case.
Page for each digit.
Page for digits 0-9
Page for alphabet upper/lower case
3 pages for numbers covering 1 -100
2 pangrams (the quick brown fox…)
In this EXCEL FILE - Simulate the throwing of 1,10,100,1000,10000 or 100000 dice at a time with the click of a button.
A bar graph and pie chart are updated with each click.
Hopefully a useful tool for demonstrating that experimental probabilities differ from expected probability but as you increase the frequency of the experiment that they get closer to the expected.
the Excel worksheet does use MACROS to make the buttons work and you may be asked to enable them.
Some versions of Excel don’t allow this so it will be a case just trying it (sorry if it doesn’t work for you)

A fun way to learn the prime numbers less than 100
A set of 25 pixel picture puzzles
Shade the squares that have prime numbers
Identify Prime and Composite (non-prime) numbers
3 levels of difficulty
Worksheets (A5/A4) + ANSWERS + blank grids
Guidance/Instructions**
Prior Knowledge Required
Being able to identify some if not all the prime numbers less than 100
unless you use this as an activity for this purpose.
This is an activity designed to make the learning of PRIME numbers much easier and I have been surprised, in the past, how successful it has been.
Start with the PRACTICE question if needed.
For this and
ONE STAR PUZZLES the if you work through the grid,
starting in the top left hand corner and work left to right and row by row the sequence of PRIME NUMBERS <100 appear IN ORDER.
So find 2 and work through to 97
The sequence repeats (partially in some cases) up to the prime needed complete the puzzle
Get them to do this methodically - this is how they pick up the sequence ( a printed sequence for them to have alongside may scaffold the initial process).
TWO STAR - Same rules but generally a larger grid
THREE STAR - Usually a larger grid but primes not in a particular
order although some part of the prime sequence may
occur. (Find a 2 and it may be next to a 3, then a 5,
then a 7 etc etc)
I have provided some blank grids for pupils to make up their own puzzles.
Draw a picture by colouring in a small grid.
Then working with a larger grid get them to write LIGHTLY SHADE their picture onto a big grid
In each shaded square they then write a PRIME NUMBER (in sequence at first as in a one star puzzle) which gets them writing out the primes)
FILL IN THE REST OF THE GRID WITH NON-PRIME which is an equally IMPORTANT TASK
EITHER COPY THIS ONTO ANOTHER BLANK GRID or use COMPUTER and TABLE IN WORD, POWERPOINT or similar to produce a printable puzzle.
I have used ADOBE’s InDesign to make this set of puzzles
Please Comment/follow so if there are upgrades/changes you can be easily notified - Thank You
Two Versions
Number bond to 10 - addition & subtraction
Finding Primes
Both give same answer
Colour squares dependent on condition
I now have a set of 25 PRIME PIXEL PICTURES available to download - with various difficulties- worksheets and answers
Use to improve students identification of 2d shapes and info about them.
This resource is best used on an interactive whiteboard.
You will need Adobe Flash Player on your computer (most have it installed as standard)
The activity is to Drag a shape into it’s appropriate position. If it is correct it snaps into place. If it’s incorrect it will return to the top.
If you click the ? next to each box it gives info about that shape (click the ? again to make it close before proceeding)
I have other resources similar to this for 3d shapes and matching formulas to shapes.
Choose from A3, A2 and A1 versions of a poster showing all the prime number less than 10000.
Will need to be printed and the tiles stuck together for A1 and A2 - instructions included
The font size on the A3 version is only 12pt
I always think that the white border around the edge to the final poster should be removed (for me, personally, it looks better and you don’t notice the “joins” as much).
A2 should be 2 x A3 or 4 x A4 sheets to stick together
A1 should be 4 x A3 or 8 x A4 sheets to stick together (depending on your printer settings)

SEE MY OTHER DOMINO RELATED RESOURCES
Virtually Identical to my set of Ladybird Domino 0-0 to 10-10 resource but with Extra dominoes so that a full set of 0-0 to 12-12 would cover THE TWELVE DAYS of CHRISTMAS. So 91 Dominoes altogether.
Lots of opportunity to set differentiated tasks
IDEAS FOR USE ALSO IN PDF
You could even sing along to the domino you have or find ones that fit the song, as well as looking at all sorts of maths problems that could be weedled out of this topic.
How many birds in total?
How many men in total?
How many women in total?
Number patterns and sequences :
1 partridge on day one
1 partridge and 2 turtle doves on day 2
but thats 2 partridges and 2 turtle doves in total after 2 days …
and 5 partridges ,8 turtle doves, 9 french hens, 8 calling birds and 5 gold rings after 5 days etc etc etc
Perhaps could be used as a writing exercise in English.
OR Just use as normal dominoes
Hopefully a fun way to practice NUmber bonds to 20
Pupils could be tasked with discussing if each of the values are appropriate
I have included a BLANK SET of cards if they want to make their own version
Usual “Top Trump” type rules
This is a challenge (for staff too) .
The versions for Maths, Science, KS3 Vocab. list, and Quotes from ‘**A Christmas Carol’ **
have proved surprisingly engaging and useful in learning words/terms/spellings (as I hoped they would)
I would welcome any feedback or thoughts.
I have used this with all year groups / all abilities as both a starter activity and a lesson resource when covering this topic.
It can be used by student or staff on a computer by hovering/rolling/clicking a specific number
They can come to the interactive whiteboard and touch one of the numbers to give them the prime factor/index notation for that number. It can be used to check sets of questions from worksheets or as part of a prime factor bingo game.
It needs Adobe Flash Player installed on the computer it is being used on. ( Most computers do have this)
If anyone can think of other uses please make a comment.
*** Apologies to the first few people who downloaded this resource as I mistakenly uploaded the incorrect version- should be OK now)
There was a problem with 34 and 78
Use to improve students identification of FORMULA associated with 2d and 3d solid shapes
This resource is best used on an interactive whiteboard.
You will need Adobe Flash Player on your computer (most have it installed as standard)
The activity is to Drag a shape into it’s appropriate position. If it is correct it snaps into place. If it’s incorrect it will return to the top.
If you click the ? next to each box it gives info about that shape (click the ? again to make it close before proceeding)
I have other resources similar to this for 2d and 3d (solid) shapes
It is an Adobe Flash file but even if you don’t have this installed it works in Internet Explorer (Right click and open with IE)
It is a 2 player game that I have used as a starter (mainly around November 5th in the UK)
OR EVEN BASED an ENTIRE LESSON AROUND IT
I give the pupils the choice of going first or second. Either me Vs 1 pupil or me Vs the class
As I know the strategy that you have to get to 3,9 or 15 first to make sure you it doesn’t matter who goes first as I usually win and it makes them more eager to have another go.
It really gets the pupils fired up and after a few games someone might notice what the strategy is or rather part of it.
They’ll probably notice first that you alwasy get to 15 first so get them to explain why.
(it’s usually “…well if we add 1 you’ll add 5 or if we add 4 you’ll add 2…” etc
Get them to think about what they have just said 1+5,2+4 …so its something to do with 6
15 is 6 less than 21 … perhaps you can use this knowledge to make sure you get to 15 first etc etc
I have gone on to get them to investigate other target numbers eg 47 find the first number you need to get to
47 /6 is 7 remainder 5 so you need to go first and say 5 if the next player adds 2 you need to add 4 (2+4=6)
What would happen if you could place up to 10 barrels and target number was 100?
I have only used this in an after-school club. The students appeared to like the challenge of drawing the best picture.
To use it Adobe Flash Player will need to be installed on the computer (most have it automatically installed) and may work if opened in Internet Explorer
Simple to use - Arrow Keys
Change colour ,speed and size of pen by clicking with mouse.
HARD to get a good picture ( as I suppose an Etch-A-Sketch is).
It anyone wants to save and print one they’ve done you’ll have to ‘screen-shot’ it. ( but then you couldn’t keep an Etch-A-Sketch picture)

You can simulate the throwing of up to 3 dice on a whiteboard for classroom activities.
You will need Adobe Flash Player installed on you computer. (they usually do have it installed as standard)
Now 2 files that basically do the same thing (the update file has an slightly different menu system)
Please check out my other upload that simulates dice throwing and so you can look at expected outcomes and experimental outcomes.
