This quickfire card game covers rearranging equations. Break your class into teams and print as many copies as there are teams. Lay the red base cards out and then challenge students to rearrange to make x, y, a and b the subject of the formula. There are 4 green cards for every red card. The first team to correctly match the cards wins.
Simply print, cut-out and go! This game is also designed to look and play great when photocopied in black and white, meaning it’s easy to prepare and play with an entire class. Answer key is also included.

This product is a game designed to explore probabilities, and how they change as time goes on. But can also be played just for fun as a way to develop strategic thinking.
There are varied numbers of weather cards, and you use your knowledge of their probabilities to prepare yourself with items to go out in that weather. If a rain card is turned over, and you are prepared with an umbrella, well done! You keep your Item. But if a sunny card is turned over, and you have an umbrella, oh no! You lose your item. The winner is the last person to remain in the game at the very end.
The game is playable in 2 different ways, independent and dependent probabilities, as defined by removing completely or returning and reshuffling the weather cards as you play. Both give great play experiences. We have already played this game with students, and they say it’s our best game so far! Purchase it to find out why.
This is also a great game to play with early years students just for a little fun.
It comes with easy-cut guides, full cheat sheets and probability tracking pages for players to keep track as cards are played and revealed. Makes for great fun, and powerful learning.

These clip cards are a great way to test students’ knowledge of telling the time using a physical multiple choice system. It includes o’clock, half past, quarter past & to and 10 & 1 minute intervals, and contains converting between analogue clock & 12 hour, analogue clock & word form, Word form & 12 hour, and 12 hour & 24 hour. The given possible answers have been carefully chosen to allow teachers to spot any misconceptions students may have about telling the time.
The idea of this activity is that students work out the correct conversion of the given time, then clip a clothespin/peg or a paperclip to what they think is the correct answer.
This activity works equally well when the cards are laminated. Students simply circle the correct answer using a dry erase marker. Alternatively, you can print these on paper, hand out to your class at the end of the lesson, so they can put their names on and circle the correct answer, serving as a great exit ticket/plenary to the lesson.
These cards are in colour, but print equally well in grey scale for cost savings.
To make them self marking, simply place a dot on the underside of the card pertaining to the correct answer.

This times tables 4-piece puzzle is a fun way to test students knowledge of the three, six and nine times tables. Students match the times table question to the solution, array and collection of grouped objects.
It is designed to be easily cut with little wastage. So either the teacher or tutor can prepare the cards by cutting them before hand, or students can cut their own cards, giving them a chance to see the solutions before they attempt the puzzle.
Although this product is made in colour, it prints perfectly well in black and white. Each puzzle is the size of an A4 sheet. To use less paper, select the pages per sheet option, and the puzzles will be smaller, but still high quality.
All other times tables are available as further packs, or you can buy the complete bundle.

This Algebra card game on the subject of solving quadratic equations by factorising is a great adaptation of a traditional/straight game of Rummy. The cards come in 4 suits, with answers in the range of 1 to 13. So the rules are very similar to Rummy, except that the players can decide and justify the solutions of their cards in order to play. All questions are quadratics, with four levels of difficulty.
Because the different colours (suits) of the cards contain different difficulty of questions, you can also use these cards as a flash card.
The game is easily prepared, thanks to easy cut guides. Full rules and answer sheet is included.

This is the fifth and final workbook in our Introducing Algebra series.
This pack is filled with worksheets designed to introduce students to patterns and linear sequences, and to develop an understanding of the nth term, and how to use it to find any term of the sequence. It covers some common sequences that are not linear, such as square numbers and the fibonacci sequence, but doesn’t require finding or using the nth term of these. Each worksheet is differentiated 3 ways.
Also included are the same worksheets, but put into differentiated workbooks, so you can hand these to your students to use as homework, or an ongoing project.
The worksheets consist of the following:
Worksheet 1 Patterns of Shapes - introduces students to basic patters using shapes.
Worksheet 2 Gaps in the Sequence - introduces number sequences, and what rules they follow (for example, starting at 2, add 3 to each term).
Worksheet 3 Function Machines - solidifies the link between a rule and a pattern by using Function Machines.
Worksheet 4 Fencing In - covers 2 pages, and follows a pattern of fences. Students find the next in the sequence. For the highest differentiation of this worksheets, students need to already know how to find an nth term.
Worksheet 5 Dinner Table Conundrum - similar to worksheet 4, with a focus on following a pattern of tables and chairs. Differentiation 1 does not require the nth term.
Worksheet 6 Fishing for Sequences - involves finding numbers that match a pattern. Both the nth term and the rule for the sequence is given.
Worksheet 7 The nth Term - requires students to both find the nth term of a linear sequence, and to find terms of a given nth term.
Worksheet 8 Riddle Me This - consists of a riddle that reveals a famous mathematician.
Worksheet 9 Nth Term in Words - delves deeper into recognising linear sequences and understanding how to find specific terms and checking if a given value will appear in the sequence.
Worksheet 10 Fibonacci and Pascal’s Triangle - offers a challenge by looking at both the Fibonacci Sequence and Pascals Triangle
