This pack is filled with worksheets designed to introduce students to fractions and understanding the relationship between different fractions. It also covers decimals, asking students to put decimals in order of size. Each worksheet is differentiated 3 ways. There are two files: the worksheet files and the teachers file that includes the solutions.
It contains the following worksheets:
Worksheet 1 Equal Share
Worksheet 2 Identifying Fractions
Worksheet 3 Shading Fractions
Worksheet 4 Word Link
Worksheet 5 Letters
Worksheet 6 Fraction and Decimal Number Lines
Worksheet 7 Word Problems
Worksheet 8 Comparing Fractions
Worksheet 9 Comparing Decimals
Worksheet 10 Stepping Stones
The first worksheet takes a look at what is meant by breaking shapes into equal sizes, and builds understanding of what fractions are. The second worksheet is about stating the fraction of the shape or group of objects that are shaded. The first differentiation gives clues for the first few questions, level two just gives an example, and level three asks students to simplify where possible. The third worksheet is a continuation of the second, this time asking students to shade the given fraction on the shape or group of objects.
The fourth worksheet has students connect a written fraction to its shaded shape form. When these lines are connected, a name of a famous mathematician is discovered. For the level 1 differentiation, some answers are given to get them started. The fifth worksheet looks at letters and asks students to find what fraction of certain letters are vowels or are made up of words. It also consists of some simple adding decimals.
Worksheet six consists of number lines. Students are asked to put fractions and decimals in the correct places on the number lines. They are also asked to identify where 1 is on the number line, given the position of a given fraction. Differentiations 2 and 3 explore top heavy fractions.
Worksheet seven asks simple fraction word problems. Worksheet eight builds on this by comparing the sizes of fractions directly. Differentiation 1 includes images of fractions as well as the written form to help students visualise the solution. The ninth worksheet is a continuation of worksheet eight, but covering decimals. The tenth and final worksheet also asks students to compare fractions to find the largest, but in a more fun way. The worksheet consists of pictures of stones in a pond, and students must choose the largest fraction in each column to step on to get across the pond.
This pack is available as part of our Introducing Fractions, Decimals and Percentages Bundle available here.
This is a card game for learning Factors and Multiples. Students take turns to play a factor card from their hand into a multiple card that is in play. Once a factor has been played on a particular card, no other player can play it again.
There are exactly the correct amount of factor cards to match the multiple cards (except for itself and 1), so you could also play this as a simple matching game. I often do with my students; though be warned that it takes up the whole room.
The pack contains a full set of rules and a cheat sheet to show which multiples go with what factors. The cards are also super easy to cut out thanks to easy-cut guides.
This game is available in CARD GAME BUNDLE 2 with 4 other card games at a discount.

This game gets students to find the area of various shapes, including rectangles, triangles, compound shapes and parallelograms.
Players are dealt a set number of cards and are encouraged to find the area of the shapes on their cards. Some shapes such as the area of compound shapes require students to find missing sides by adding or subtracting known sides.
A base card is then turned over. Students all play a card from their hands which is closest in area to the base card. The player who was closest to the base cards wins all the cards played and puts them in a separate pile. These are their points. After a set number of rounds, the player with the most points wins.
Each group of cards are coloured so you can remove certain questions you have not taught yet, or to differentiate questions for your class.
-Rectangles are Green
-Triangles are Yellow
-Compound Shapes involving Rectangles are Red
-Parallelograms are Blue
-Compound Shapes involving Triangles are Grey.
Full rules of play and answer key for all cards are provided in the pack itself. The cards are also printed with easy-cut guides to make preparation fast and simple.

Deal cards to each player. A base card is then revealed, and students much choose a card in their hand with the closest angle in degrees to the base card.
This is a fast and fun game for revising angles, and students wont even realise they are working as they play.
You will need at least one protractor to play this game properly, however it is recommended that all players have their own protractors.
All of the cards are numbered randomly and correspond to the answer key which is provided in this game pack. The cards only feature Acute and Obtuse angles.

A 48-page creatively designed worksheet pack on Straight Line Graphs which includes:
• An introductory activity to check that students have the skills required to access this topic. This includes the substitution of values into a linear equation and then plotting the x and y value coordinates onto a graph.
• An investigation sheet, on which students will discover how the value of m and c in the equation y=mx+c affects the line graph.
• An activity where students will draw linear graphs from equations, and find equations from graphs.
• A cut and match activity where students can visually connect equations with real life scenarios.
• Challenge questions where students find gradients and y-intercepts when equations are not in the form y=mx+c, and the identificaion of parallel lines from equations only.
• A confidence checklist for students to assess whether they have grasped what they have learned in this pack.
A US version of this product is available in our US store here where notation is in US form (y=mx+b)

This game is all about matching fractions, decimals and percentages. it includes several equivalent fractions as well. Included are:
a half
a quarter
three quarters
one third
two thirds
one fifth
two fifth
one eight
one tenth
There are 6 types of card in this pack, Black cards which feature simple fractions, 2 sets of Green cards which are their basic equivalent fractions, Red cards which are more difficult equivalent fractions, 2 sets of Purple cards which feature visual representations of equivalent fractions, Yellow cards which feature equivalent percentage values and Blue cards which feature equivalent decimal values.
There are two variations of this game. One is a classical game of snap, where students win if they spot equivalent cards appearing. The second way to use this, and one that has been popular with my students, is to lay out the base fractions in a line (or get students to lay them out in order of size, thereby testing their knowledge of ordering fractions) and then challenging them to race each other to match all the equivalent cards as quick as possible,
Full rules and answer key are provided in the pack itself. The cards are also printed with easy-cut guides to make preparation fast and simple.

A card game that provides a fun way to reinforce the knowledge of averages. The cards give students an interactive way to develop a deeper understanding of Mean, Median, Mode and Range data.
The cards in the pack are numbered from 0-12. There are 4 rounds to this game and 9 new cards are dealt out to each player each round. Players can choose whether to take their median, mean, mode or range score. However, they can only chose each one once. For example, if I have a range of 11 in the first round and choose that range, and in the next round I have a range of 12, I cannot choose the range for that round. This forces students to work out each average type at least once.
We highly recommend you allow students to use a calculator, as the random nature of the cards means divisions wont always be whole numbers. However, you can ask students to work it out manually as an extra challenge. You can also change the number of cards dealt out. For example, dealing 8 cards means students have to find the medium that appears between two cards.
Pack includes a set of 52 cards of numbers 0 to 12. Full rules of play are included, and the cards are printed with easy-cut guides to make preparation fast and simple.
