Play this beautiful game as often as you can and you'll soon know your times tables inside out. Answer the questions as fast as you can but try not to get any penalties. At the end of the game you will be shown your score and awarded a prize monster.

Learn how to tell the time using these interactive, full-screen analogue and digital clocks.

At the top of the screen you will be shown a time in words. All you have to do is work out where the minute hand would be pointing and click on that number on the clock. For example if the time shown is 'quarter to five' you should click the number 'nine' on the clock. It's not as easy as you might think.

A wonderful tool for investigating regular or irregular polygons. Use the virtual protractor to measure internal and external angles (the line extension function makes this easy). The polygon vertices can be dragged and snapped to your choice of background grid. This software is also ideal for exploring Pythagoras' theorem, triangles in general or the relationship between area and perimeter of shapes.

Part one of a truly outstanding suite of three resources to help with the teaching of enlargements. This resource helps you introduce the basic concepts of enlargement and scale factors.

A lovely whole class resource which is ideal for use with the interactive whiteboard. Pupils are shown a shape which they must redraw at a given scale factor. They construct their shape using a flexible polygon which can then be compared to the correct enlargement. (worksheet)

Everything you need to teach estimation and measurement of angles.

A beautiful animation that visually illustrates the definition of pi. This resource also contains a useful mnemonic to remember the first 8 digits of pi as well as a slide that displays the first 2000 digits of pi.

This pairs game will teach you all the terminology you need to describe the geometry of a circle.

This open-ended resource allows you to create a fraction and display it in several ways (e.g. with cakes, sweets or lollipops). You can also set up simple problems by hiding the numerator and denominator and asking the class to work them out.

Improve your ability to recognise the picture equivalent of a fraction with this resource.

This open-ended resource allows you to create different visual representations of two fractions and display them side by side. By comparing the images pupils can decide whether the fractions are equivalent.

Improve your ability to recognise equivalent fractions.

This is a truly versatile whole-class resource. In this game you must drag fractions from the fraction bank and place them in the correct order on the fraction tower. You can test two fractions to see which is bigger by showing a visual representation of the fraction.

An open-ended tool to help you explore the relationship between improper and mixed fractions.

You will be shown a fraction and your job is to estimate the decimal equivalent by placing a nest on a number line. Our hens are mathematical experts and they will fire their eggs towards the correct answer. If your estimate is good the eggs will be caught in the nest but if you're too far out it all gets very messy.

Smash the rotten egg by clicking on the fraction that is not equivalent to the others. By playing this game your students will develop a variety of mental strategies that help them to identify equivalent fractions.

Use your knowledge of fractions to paint a chicken coop according to the hen's instructions! This clever game will teach your students to visualise and compare the value of different fractions.

Help kung fu chicken in his quest to simplify fractions by finding the common factors of the numerator and denominator. You will need to be a black belt at finding highest common factors to get a good score.

Identify equivalent fractions and percentages.

Identify equivalent fractions and decimals.

A tool to help your pupils visualise fractions. Ideal for teaching pupils how to identify equivalent fractions.

A tool to help your pupils visualise fractions. Ideal for teaching pupils addition and subtraction of fractions. Also useful for illustrating how to represent fractions in their simplest form.

Identify equivalent decimals and percentages.

Flip between a 0 - 99, 0 - 100, multiplication or blank grid. The squares can be painted in the colour of your choice. Great for illustrating mental arithmetic techniques or how Eratosthenes' sieve works.

Students are shown an equation and must choose a solution from several numbers bouncing around the screen. This resource includes a printable worksheet. (worksheet)

Use this application to practise finding a point on a grid. Choose between a positive quadrant grid or all four quadrants. This resource also contains a positive quadrant worksheet, a four quadrant worksheet and a set of blank grids for generic exercises.

Before you start plotting functions why not use this ten minute starter activity to test how well your pupils are able to place and read coordinates.

Learn how to interpret pie charts with this interactive resource.
