These 30 follow me cards are a great way to revise finding percentage of amounts including increasing and decreasing a number by a given percent. There are two possible starting points, allowing for great differentiation.
Play is similar to dominoes, where the cards are placed end to end with the question to the answers, but each question only has one answer.
Students connect the questions and answers together forming a chain, with questions steadily getting harder. For extra challenge, don’t use a calculator.
Some ideas for how to use follow me cards:
-Have students race to connect the cards.
-Have a treasure hunt, around the classroom or outside. Students start with the starter card and record the solutions in the table.
-Students each take ownership of a card, and then get themselves in line correctly with the answers. If there are more than 30 students, assign some students as ‘managers’. If there are less than 30 students, the first students to connect their cards can be given the remaining cards.
- Cut each card in half and give the students a matching activity. They can then glue the answers into their books.

This activity offers a different way to teach tally and pie charts. Students choose 20 fruit cards from the fruit deck (or any amount you choose from the 45 cards if you wish to make things more challenging). We recommend that 20 cards offers the most interesting collection to work with, while also being a factor of 360.
Students collect the data of their chosen cards and write it on the tally sheet. On the same sheet is a column for working out the number of degrees needed for constructing the pie chart. Two pie chart sheets are included, one with the key in colour, and one with the key ready for colouring.
Alternatively, get students to construct the pie chart from scratch in their books or a separate piece of paper.
The nature of this activity means that each student should, in theory, produce their own pie chart, unique from other students in the class.

The second worksheet expands on this concept, by introducing the idea of finding fractions of amounts as being division of the denominator (splitting the amount into groups) and multiplying by the numerator (counting how many groups we want).
The third worksheet is a puzzle where students link the two similar answers with a straight line that goes through a letter. The letters spell out a famous mathematician. The first differentiation of this includes a reminder of how to find fractions of amounts.
The fourth worksheet consists of a collection of fraction questions about a clock maker. It consists of word problems looking at the digits of a clock, minutes in an hour and hours in a day, all in terms of fractions. The fifth worksheet again looks at fractions word problems. Images are provided to help students find the answers. Differentiation 1 includes a reminder of how to find a fraction of amount. Differentiations 2 and 3 consist of a question with more difficulty.
Worksheet 6 asks students to find 10%, 50% and 25% of amounts, and worksheet 7 extends this to include 20%, 5% and 1%. Differentiation 1 of worksheet 7 includes a helpful guide of how to find each percent as a division. This worksheet is a fun maze activity. The next activity, Percentage grid, encourages using a grid to find percentages, and includes some more challenging percentage questions.

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 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.
