Five fantastic maths problems to delight and challenge. In Cracked Eggs, 10 eggs have been incorrectly put back together. By matching the calculations to make numbers between 30 and 39 a solution can be found. Vectors have been used in Easter Egg Hunt to translate Easter eggs around a grid. A simple animation shows students how to work out vectors if this is new to them. Hot Cross Buns are sold in packs of 3 sizes. Finding combinations of packs up to 20 will solve this problem. In Easter Parade a girl wants to decorate a hat with flowers. But how many will she need? Finally the fox is on the lookout for his lunch. Numbered hens are put into hutches by sorting them into even, prime and multiples of 9. Each round is marked by another team during the quiz and the teacher records t he scores on the score slide using the keyboard. Accessible to years 4.5 or 6. Some groups will need more help than others to complete the rounds. This will influence time taken for quiz. Works well with all pupils using individual whiteboards, then collating answers for team.

Based on The X Factor, Z Factor is a show with 4 competitors, Groovy Growlers, Singer Simon, Frumpy Freddie and Smarty Pants. Each week one is voted out. Percentages, pie charts , bar charts compare results. This resource is animated with sound and should promote discussion as students try to find the winner.

A step by step presentation reminding students how to solve different types of equations. This includes Linear, Quadratic, Cubic, Simultaneous and Inequalities. There are 32 slides and 5 of the slides contain questions with answers.

This resource looks at formulae used in everyday life. The scenarios include: casino for calculating the value of chips, stopping distances using a link to RosPa website, height of frogs' jumps, BMI calculations, spirals using Pythagoras, Penpals comparing temperatures. There is enough material for a whole lesson and several extension activities. This is an interesting and engaging resource with animations.

This animated and interesting Power Point is based on The Cinema. Students have to decide which film 7 different groups of Cinema-goers are going to watch. Time in 24hr clock has to be converted to am/pm. The cost of tickets and also the length of the films, and adverts have to be considered. The second part of the lesson involves allocating seats with constraints and the cost of refurbishing the seating. A learner should be able to: A learner should be able to: • understand and use whole numbers in practical contexts • add, subtract, multiply and divide whole numbers using a range of strategies • add and subtract decimals up to two decimal places • solve problems requiring calculation, with common measures, including money and time. • convert units of measure in the same system • work out areas in practical situations • extract and interpret information from tables, diagrams, charts

Colourful Powerpoint with activities connected to skateboarding. The activities include online sales of skateboards, side elevations of skateboarding ramps and deck arrangements on different sized veneer.This PowerPoint could be used as a whole lesson or split into several sections to be used separately. (15 slides) The following maths is included. • understand and use whole numbers and understand in practical contexts • add, subtract, multiply and divide whole numbers using a range of strategies • add and subtract decimals up to two decimal places • solve problems requiring calculation, with common measures, including money, length. • work out areas and perimeters in practical situations • construct geometric diagrams, models and shapes • extract and interpret information from tables, diagrams, charts.

Four teams race to the top of the pyramid by answering questions about Ancient Egypt. There are 60 slides with 56 questions. It is an ideal fun resource to round off a topic .
