This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 7B which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the second half of year 7. Time and timetables covers tellling the time from a clock face, 12 and 24 hour clocks, converting between different units of time, timetables and solving problems in context. The initial...

This excel file has separate sheets dealing with various styles of analogue clock face and different levels of difficulty. It begins with a sheet showing times limited to quarter, half and whole hours. The next two sheets have the numbers removed from the clock face....

This resource from TEMI introduces and explores a mathematical 'magic trick' in which the teacher predicts a random number that is generated by students using a series of number grids.

In order to explain the trick, students must use addition, tables and subtraction, as well as exploring number patterns and...

Times tables 7911; students are presented with fifty questions requiring solutions to times tables questions from the 7, 9 and 11 times tables. Students record how long it takes them to complete the task and how many correct answers they score.
