Contents and Teacher Notes.

Pages 3/4. Grid Multiplcation 1.
Pupils may be coming from Primary schools using this technique for
multiplying numbers. It is particularly useful for long multiplication as it is
clear where numbers belong. When pupils are particularly comfortable with
this techniques, then they should be taught the more concise, traditional
method. Less able pupils may never progress to traditional long multiplication.
Pages 5/6. Grid Multiplication 2.
Grid multiplication with missing numbers.
Pages 7/8. Long Multiplcation.
A quick reminder of the usual level 4 multiplying before a traditional style
level 5 exercise.
Pages 9/10. Long Division.
The first side is level 4 division as this is the one pupils normally forget, before
a traditional style exercise on level 5 long division.
Pages 11/12. Long Multiplication and Division Problems.
Putting the skills pupils have learnt into context with worded questions.

your way through the maze. The complexity of the two tasks combined gives it
the level 5 rating !
Pages 20/21. The Number 8/9 Multiple Maze.
Work out the sum, see if it is a multiple of the given number and try to find
your way through the maze. The complexity of the two tasks combined gives it

solution. This puzzle has been changed so pupil's don't feel cheated and can
find a solution!
Pages 28/29. Investigations using Indices.
Investigations using indices.
Page 30. Prime Pirate Maze.
A very simple way of reinforcing the prime numbers and the "look" of a prime
number. With less able groups write on the bottom of the sheet all the prime
numbers from 1 to 100 as a reminder. The strategy for solving the maze is
interesting to watch. Some pupils start from different points trying to find
routes. Some simply colour in the prime numbers at random until the routes
appear!
Page 31. A Prime Maze.
Work out the sum and then follow primes to the exit! Another way of trying to
reinforcing prime numbers in an interesting fashion.
Page 32. Prime and Square Numbers.

directed numbers world! Again putting the skills learnt above into a practical
situation.
Pages 7/8. Addonagons with Negative Numbers.
Addonagons were first met in pack 1. This extends the idea into negative
numbers. Plenty of practice in a different environment.
Pages 9/10. Addition Pyramids with Negative Numbers.
Addition Pyramids were also first met in pack 1. This worksheet extends the
idea into negative numbers. Again plenty of practice in a different environment.
Pages 11/12. Magic Squares with Negative Numbers.
Yes you've guessed it! Magic squares were also first met in pack 1. This
worksheet extends the idea into negative numbers. Again plenty of practice in a
different environment.
Pages 13/14. Takes and Adders Board 1/2.
Still looking for ideas on directed numbers? A snakes and ladders game with
directed numbers for 2-5 players. Board 1 emphasises adding to negative
numbers. Most cards are positive in value with players starting at - 55. Board 2
emphasises subtracting from negative numbers as most cards are negative in
value and players starting at +6.
Pages 15/16. Takes and Adders Cards for Boards 1/2.
The cards to be cut out for the above boards. They are best photocopied onto
card, if possible, to make them more durable. In the game the cards are to be
placed on a pile and the top one to be taken by each player and replaced at the
bottom. What is the reason for printing this number of cards ?
Pages 17/18. Wheels (Negative Numbers).
Another way of reinforcing negative numbers. Start at the outer ring and work
to the centre. This will make a sum. Fill in the missing parts.
Page 19. Directed Number Tennis.
Game using negative number.
Page 20. Spinners.
Page to be copied on to card to make the spinners for the Directed Number
Tennis game. The 3 spinners at the bottom are for pupils to make up their own
directed numbers questions by using the spinners in order 1, 2, and then 3. It
puts a little fun into the repetitive element of consolidation. If the group can be
trusted, a simple way to complete the spinner is add small piece of blu-tac
under the centre and push a drawing pin through it. This seems a lot more
stable than the traditional matchstick!

Page 3. Order of Operation (BIDMAS).
BIDMAS (Brackets, Indices, ....). A traditional style exercise, including
indices.
Page 4. Four in a Line- BIDMAS.
A game using the BIDMAS rules.
Pages 5/6. Word Search BIDMAS 1/2.
Work out the answers using the BIDMAS rules, write them as words and find
them in the grid.
Page 7. BIDMAS-Boxes.
Number puzzles using BIDMAS. In this exercise indices are not used. I have
found "indices" a better substitute than the of in BODMAS.
Pages 8/9. Basic Algebra.
The traditional basics of algebra. Forming expressions, simple substitutions,
algebra meanings and the start of collecting like terms. Notice that collecting
like terms is kept to finding very simple terms. This is extended at Level 6.
Pages 10/11. Forming Algebraic Expressions.
Taking sentences and turning them into algebraic expressions. These types of
questions are very popular on the SAT's at Key Stage 3.
Pages 12/13. Forming and Solving Algebraic Expressions.
Taking the last exercise one step further, solving simple equations. Again, these
types of questions are very popular on the SAT's at Key Stage 3.
Pages 14/15. Algebraic Pyramids.
Pyramids have been used in previous packs, so pupils should be familiar with
the methodology. It starts off with one term only up to question 15. It then
introduces two terms, but only with positive numbers. The more able might
enjoy questions 34 onwards.
Pages 16/17. Algebraic Addon-agons.
Addon-agons have been used in previous packs, so pupils should be familiar
with this methodology also. It starts off with one term only up to question 16. It
then introduces two terms, but only with positive numbers. Question 44 is
tricky, and questions 45 onwards have negative numbers.
Pages 18/19. Perimeters and Algebra.
Finding algebraic expressions for perimeters. Again popular on the SAT's
examinations.
Pages 20/21. Make a Magic Square.
Simple substitutions to make magic squares. Looking at the algebraic theory
behind magic squares.
Pages 22/23. Snakes and Ladders.
A game for 2 - 6 pupils. Cut out the cards, shuffle and turn upside down. Pupils
take it in turn to take the top card, work out the answer and move that many
places. The card is placed at the bottom of the pile. If calculated wrongly they
go forward to the next snake and down it! Normal rules apply. It might be

Level 5 Pack 5. Page 1. Contents pages for Level 5. [email protected]

 interesting to see if pupils notice that 31 cards only have been supplied, Why's
that then ?
Page 24. Race Track I.
A board game involving substitution.
Pages 25/26. Function Machines 4 (Two Operations).
This worksheet has deliberately been left vague in its instructions. It can access
the brightest Level 4 pupils, trying to put into words how the function
machines are being changed by the two operations, or it can access Level 6
pupils forming equations in x and y from the later tables.
Pages 27/28. Sequences.
Filling in missing parts of sequences. The sequences progress from linear to
quadratic, and from ascending to descending. Pupils also have to be able to
generate sequences from a series of instructions.
Pages 29/30. Heaxagon Lines.
Sequences across the page. Pupils have to work out one sequence before
they can move on to other sequences.
Pages 31/32. Flow Charts (Sequences).
Flow charts that generate sequences.
Pages 33/34. Flow Charts (Formulae).
Flow charts of formulae used in maths. Some are from work at a higher level
and pupils wouldn't be expected to recognise them here. Give the sheet to
GCSE pupils to see if they spot any of the formulae.
Pages 35/36. Practical Number Patterns.
Moving on from the Level 4 practical number patterns these are slightly less
structured. Again pupils can extend the pattern, either with practical
equipment or merely by drawing the diagrams. An important element is
getting pupils to predict and test results.
Pages 37/38. Practical Number Patterns (Justification).
Practice in the early skills of justifying the nth term in a pattern.
Pages 39/40. Number Patterns and Graphs.
Now that pupils are familiar with number patterns this sheet extends the theme
onto plotting straight line graphs. This is taken further by testing predictions
from the graphs by drawing appropriate diagrams and by extending the
number pattern.
Pages 41/42. Plotting Graphs.
Completing tables of linear function and then plotting the line. All negative
coordinates have been worked out so that Level 6 directed number work is
bypassed.

As above, but varying numbers of divisions on the number line.
Pages 19/20. Real Life Graphs.
Graphs representing real life situations. Pupils have to be able to interpret the
graphs to answer the questions. This leads on to pupils sketching a graph to
represent a real life situation.
Pages 21/22. Plotting Real Life Graphs.
Plotting graphs of real life situations, then taking readings from the graphs to
answer the questions.
Pages 23/24. Conversion Graphs.
All graphs have been set up so they can fit a normal sized graph book.
Conversions look at metric/imperial, currency changes, ˚C/˚F and a distance/
time graph. Questions involve reading off the required information, and in
later questions, multiplying these readings by 10 or 100 to get the answer.
Pages 25/26. Exchange Rates.
Calculate exchange rates with and without a calculator. The latter are
particularly popular at exam level.
Pages 27/28. Exchange Rates (The Euro).
The first page contains exercises interchanging between Euros and other
currencies. The second page contains an exercise in reading from an exchange
cross rate table.

 Page 29. Conversion Graphs (Decimal to Fractions).
Using a conversion graph to change fractions to decimals. Use A4 graph paper
longways so there are always 10 squares of 10 on the decimal axis.
Page 30. Plans, Elevations and Pyramids.
An investigation using plan drawings of step pyramids. The investigation is
based on odd square numbers.
Pages 31/32. Plans and Elevations 1.
Starting with familiar solids, this worksheet looks at interchange between the
3-d drawing and plans and elevations.
Pages 33/34. Plans and Elevations 2.
Taking measurements from a scale drawing. This can be a particularly good
wall display activity making models of bungalows. By putting all the models
together you can make a street! Get half the pupils to position houses at the top
of the A4 paper to access a road at the top and the other half to position the
houses at the bottom of the paper to access a road from the bottom!. If you do
this the display can have opposite sides of the street!
Page 35. Compound Cuboid Solids 1 (Volume).
Finding the volume of solids from diagrams.
Page 36. Compound Cuboid Solids 2 (Surface Areas).
Finding the surface area of solids from diagrams.
Page 37. Compound Cuboid Solids 3 (Volumes and Surface Areas).
Mini investigations with compound cuboid solids.
Page 38. Compound Cuboid Solids 4 (Sequences).
Generating sequences with compound cuboid solids.
Pages 39/40. Planes of Symmetry.
Draw on the worksheet where the planes of symmetry will cut through the
objects. This is a self checking exercise as the number of objects drawn out is
the same as the number of planes of symmetry the object has. As 2-d/3-d
representation is at level 6, this is possibly the best way of pupils having
"answers" drawn in their books.
Pages 41/42. Everyday Objects. Planes of Symmetry.
Pictured are 35 objects. Pupils have to identify how many planes of symmetry
each has. Some have no plane of symmetry. This can be a difficult topic,
depending on how pedantic you want to be! Make sure your standards are clear
to the class e.g. Question 22 "Is the thatch even on both sides?".
Pages 43/44. The Euro.
With the advent of the Euro on January 1st 2002 the worksheet on Exchange
Rates contains some currencies no longer commonly used. Although the
worksheet is still a valid mathematical exercise (and historically interesting)
this section is intended to replace it.
