A new exercise on the Properties of 2D Shapes requires students to simply move the sliders to describe each shape: number of sides and angles, pairs of parallel sides, lines of symmetry, rotational symmetry etc.

I often need graph paper with axes already drawn, ready to paste into BitPaper, PowerPoint or Word. This updated page is my go-to for quick, neatly presented results. You may find it useful too

I've called it "Only One Each". Place the tents so that each tree has one tent next to it and no two tents are next to each other.

The Sieve of Eratosthenes: still in its prime after more than 2,000 years!

https://t.co/KKCwZSTlxq

I've updated the interactive version on Transum. Students colour in multiples to reveal the prime numbers up to 100. A colourful lesson in elimination!

I recommend bookmarking the Refreshing Revision page for quick access. It is designed to be projected as a starter or lesson ending. Scroll down the page to see how you can customise the questions. There's a pro version for subscribers too.

What a pity that International Talk Like a Pirate Day falls on a Saturday (today, the 19th of September), when most classrooms are empty. The maths lesson starter for today is one in which pupils have to say doubling numbers in a pirate voice.

Can you work out the value of each letter using the clues in the clouds? Put your ratio skills to the test as you drag the clues around and decide which to use first. Logical thinking required. Have fun!

Exercises on the Transum website, such as Quadratic Gaps, are tools for teachers to use as and when appropriate, alongside other resources.

Mix and match to suit your pupils. Variety is valuable, and each activity just part of the big picture.

A gentle introduction to parallel and perpendicular lines for younger learners. This new exercise has four self-marking levels to help pupils get a feel for the terms before using them in geometry or graphs. No preparation needed, just send the link.

The Transum puzzle collection has grown to 456 keepers! Why not choose a few as optional challenges for your next homework assignment? Give your eager students something extra to get their teeth into, but have a go yourself first.

Like many well-known films, Transum’s angle exercises now have a prequel! It’s called Angle Names, and all you have to do is identify each angle as acute, obtuse, reflex and so on.

New on Transum: Conversion Graphs. Twelve graphs, twelve levels — from miles and kilometres up to extrapolation and reading curves. The currency level uses today's live exchange rate.

Do you miss those days when you could type a number on your calculator, turn it upside down, and then be amused by the word it produces? They don't make calculators like they used to.but there is an exercise here with a rotating calculator!
