Practice adding and subtracting positives from positives and negatives with this floral colouring sheets. Containing two different versions, one with integers and one with decimals.
This resource helps students practice finding number bonds including negatives, as well as using problem-solving/logic skills to complete the puzzle.
Combine numbers horizontally, vertically and diagonally to find numbers that sum to 3. This could contain up to four digits. Number can not be used more than once. For a hint, it’s easiest to start with pairs of number bonds.
This resource helps students practice adding and subtracting positive numbers from both positive and negative numbers, crossing zero. Starting with the number in the box, students should conduct each operation in turn to get a final number. Three different runs including both integers and decimals. You could tell students which run to do or let them work through them all.

If you haven’t heard your students talking about Fortnite then where have you been?
45 million people play the shooter game Fortnite and I can’t stop the kids I teach from talking about it.
This activity incorporates lots of different concepts:
Ratios/Scales
Bearings
Speed, distance, time
Pythagoras
Area problem solving
Edit and remove questions as you want. If you print at 100% the scale will be 1.5cm to 250m
Otherwise you might have to give it a measure if you print to fit
Also: The locations from the bearings are locations required for one of the challenges this season to get them even more engaged. Half my class have taken the work home to finish so they can gain in game rewards
EDIT: This is a little out of date now as the map is updated every week but I’m sure students will appreciate the thought all the same
This resource consists of a short activity with integer and decimals versions.
The worksheets are a set of 2 version in PDF, PowerPoint and Google Slides form for easy editing.
Practicing adding and subtracting positive numbers and logic skills by having a go at this difference sudoku. It works just like an ordinary sudoku except instead of being given some starting numbers, you are given the difference between adjacent numbers. For example if the difference is ‘8’, it would mean the numbers either side are ‘1’ and ‘9’, you just have to work out, which of these numbers goes where.
Practicing adding and subtracting positive numbers using these pyramid worksheets.
Comes in two variations, integers and decimals. In PDF and Powerpoint/Slides version to allow for editing.

If you haven’t heard your students talking about Among Us then where have you been?
100 million people play the social deduction game Among Us and the kids love talking about it. This activity involves plotting coordinates.
This worksheet comes in 1 and 4 quadrants as well as a higher and lower details version (with and without shadow detail).
As an extension, in the game characters can have hats and pets. Why not have students plot their chosen hat or pet and list the coordinates for someone else to draw.

Matching congruent triangles in order to find an unknown word. Answer includes which rule is used including ASA, SAS, SSA, SSS AND RHS. In one question students are also required to use angles in a triangle to find a missing angle.
Plotting 4 straight line graphs using a table of values, horizontal line, multiple and negative coefficients of x with the final equation requiring rearrangement or cover up method.
In this word game, students can compete or work together to find which of the code names belong to their team, which belong to the other, which are neutral and which ends the game.
With 320 words and 80 different game layouts per game mode, that’s 800 undecillion different possible games relating to mathematical vocabulary so you’ll never play the same game twice!
Individual printables as well as a list of words to upload and use on the online game codenames. game where you can create your own room for students to join and upload a custom word list. Also an access file for you to create your own code names (though you will need an upside down font for it to work perfectly). Play like the regular game of codenames!
Bingo game incorporating a range of finding equations of linear graphs questions. This includes horizontal and vertical graphs, given gradient and point, parallel and perpendicular graphs, from two points and given a graph.
