A pdf of a 17 slide PowerPoint that provides main themes surrounding CAT4 assessment tasks.
CAT4 assessments consist of verbal reasoning â thinking with words; quantitative reasoning â thinking with numbers; non-verbal reasoning â thinking with shapes and spatial ability â thinking with shape and space. Many schools use CAT4 to provide âpredictionsâ for GCSE results.
The pdf provides an introduction to CAT4 assessments. The normal distribution curve is outlined and the realtionship with stanines and standard age scores and how they are derived from raw scores. The important visual-spatial dynamic of CAT4 is dealt with in detail. Finally, caution is raised when using assessments to label students and create self-fulfilling narratives.
The PowerPoint is available with important animation which aids understanding and presentation. It can be downloaded here: /teaching-resource/-13070120
A spreadsheet to generate the dice outcomes of the seven dice in this popular game. It is useful if dice have gone missing or dice outcomes need to be presented to a group.
There are two views: the faces of the dice and the position of the blockers on the board.

Maths activity: mean, median, mode, range. Two Excel workbooks, one with macros and one without.
11 values of dice throws show the relationships between: ordered values, the frequency table, the averages table and bar chart.
The first workbook has the capability to randomly generate values or manual input. Macros must be enabled to use the second workbook that produces random values.
Based on S4 unit in Improving Learning in Mathematics.

Update October 2024. A macro enabled spreadsheet that provides visible representations of multiples and factors.
Use drop-down menus to select integers to show factors and multiples highlighted in 1-100/1-200 number squares.
One square shows the multiples of the first integer. Another shows the multiples of the second integer. The third shows the multiples of both.
The same is shown for factors.
There are 10 sheets:
a) FactorsA - factors of all numbers from 2 up to 200. Show visibly why only integers to half-way are required
b) Factors B - factors of all numbers from 2 up to 200, colour coded showing prime and square numbers
c) F&M - factors & multiples side by side in two 1-200 number grids
d) O&E - even & odd numbers shown in a 1-200 number grid
e) PF - prime factors of three numbers as tiles
f) HCF2 - factors of two integers, showing HCF (three 1-100 grids)
b) HCF3 - factors of three integers, showing HCF (seven 1-100 grids)
c) LCM2a - multiples of two integers, showing LCM (three 1-100 grids)
d) LCM2b - multiples of three integers, showing LCM (seven 1-100 grids)
e) LCM3 - multiples of two integers, showing LCM (one 1-1050 grid)
Macros must be enabled. The sheets are protected so students/teachers can only type in integers in the correct cells. They can be easily unprotected to make changes.
I would welcome any suggestions for improvement.
