A great** infinite** resource - perfect to use as a starter warm-up activity. A new randomly generated puzzle is created each time for pupils to try and solve. The puzzle is a fantastic way to get pupils practicing using their numeracy skills. Press the button to reveal the answers one at a time - ideal to provide clues for students who need a little help. I hope your students enjoy this starter as much as mine do. Any feedback welcome. Thanks!

This is a infinite resource created to be used regularly as a starter to really boost students' confidence in their numeracy skills. The resource is created in excel to provide randomly generated questions for almost every topic on the numeracy curriculum. There are 37 sets of 10 progressively more difficult questions, covering topics from (old) level 3 to level 8. As the questions are randomly generated, the resource can be used over and over again and the answers can be revealed through the toggle buttons. There's also a record sheet at the start that can be used to keep track of progress. Topics include: Level 3 Money - calculating change Ordering whole numbers Addition Subtraction Addition & subtraction across zero Division Fractions - making a whole Adding & subtracting fractions Level 4 Short multiplication Rounding to 10, 100, 1000 Multiplying & dividing by 10, 100, 1000 Short division Equivalent fractions Level 5 Adding & subtracting decimals Long multiplication Multiplying & dividing decimals by 10,100,1000 Multiplying decimals Dividing decimals Long division Simplifying fractions Mixed → Improper fractions Improper → Mixed fractions Fractions of amounts Adding & subtracting directed numbers Multiplying directed numbers Dividing directed numbers Simplifying ratios Order of operations Squares, cubes & roots Level 6 Percentage of an amount Decimal → percentage → fraction Fraction → percentage → decimal Adding fractions Rounding to decimal places Sharing in a ratio Percentage increase and decrease Multiplying fractions Dividing fractions Rounding to significant figures Level 8 Standard form → Regular number Regular number → Standard form
