How the packs work

Every pack follows the same calm structure

Pupils always know what's coming next. That predictability matters, especially for pupils who find maths stressful.

  1. Confidence check

    Pupils tick how a topic feels before they start, and again at the end. There are no marks, so it's an honest picture of where they are.

  2. Short mini-lessons

    Each topic is split into small steps. Every mini-lesson opens with one big idea and a short, plain-English explanation.

  3. Visuals for every idea

    Diagrams such as a formula 'rule machine' or a place-value picture show the maths, so pupils can see it as well as read it.

  4. Worked examples

    Every method is modelled step by step before pupils try it, with each stage labelled so they can follow it on their own.

  5. Scaffolded practice

    Questions start with prompts (what do you need to find, follow the example, check it makes sense) and gradually ask for more independence.

  6. Spot the trap

    Common mistakes are named before pupils make them, and Mistake Detective questions ask them to find and fix errors.

  7. Pause and think

    Short 'explain it in your own words' prompts check that pupils understand why the maths works, not just how.

  8. Teacher Pack with answers

    Every pack comes with a Teacher Pack: all the answers, plus reteach cards saying what to watch for, what to say, and what to try if a pupil is still stuck.

Number 1 · Year 7

Place Value

Whole numbers, digit value, partitioning and zero as a placeholder

Number 2 · Year 7

Comparing and Ordering

Comparing means deciding whether numbers are greater than, less than or equal to each other. Ordering means arranging numbers from smallest to largest or from largest to smallest.

Number 3 · Year 7

Rounding

Rounding whole numbers to the nearest 10, 100, 1 000 and beyond

Number 4 · Year 7

Mental Addition and Subtraction

Mental maths is not guessing. It is choosing a sensible route and checking that the answer makes sense. This pack gives you a set of routes: bonds, counting on and back, bridging, partitioning and near-friendly numbers.

Number 5 · Year 7

Column Addition and Subtraction

Column methods help when numbers are too long to hold in your head. Line up the digits by place value, start with the ones, and carry or exchange when you need to. Then check with an estimate or the inverse.

Number 6 · Year 7

Multiplication Foundations

Multiplication is a quick way of adding equal groups. This pack shows multiplication as groups, repeated addition, arrays and jumps on a number line, then uses known facts to build new ones.

Number 11 · Year 7

Negative Numbers

Numbers below zero, number lines, comparing, ordering and distance from zero

£3.50

Number 12 · Year 7

Negative Number Calculations

Adding and subtracting negative numbers is all about direction on a number line. Find your start, read the sign, decide left or right, then count. Draw the line if it helps.

Number 15 · Year 7

Comparing, Ordering and Rounding Decimals

A longer decimal is not always a bigger decimal. Line up the decimal points, add zeros so the decimals are the same length, then compare from the left. Rounding uses the digit just to the right of the place you keep.

£3.50

Number 16 · Year 7

Adding and Subtracting Decimals

Adding and subtracting decimals uses the same column methods as whole numbers. The one big rule: line up the decimal points, not the last digits. Fill any gaps with zeros, then work from the right.

£3.50

Number 17 · Year 8

Multiplying and Dividing Decimals

Multiplying by 10, 100 or 1 000 makes a number bigger, so the digits move left. Dividing makes it smaller, so the digits move right. The decimal point stays still. Count the zeros to know how many places.

£3.50

Number 18 · Year 8

Multiplying Decimals by Whole Numbers

Multiplying a decimal by a whole number still means equal groups. 0.4 × 3 is three groups of 0.4. Estimate first, multiply, then make sure the answer is a sensible size.

£3.50

Number 19 · Year 8

Multiplying Decimals by Decimals

When you multiply by a decimal less than 1, you are finding part of a number, so the answer gets smaller. Use hundred grids and place value to see why, then estimate to check.

£3.50
See inside
Number 20 · Year 8

Dividing Decimals by Whole Numbers

Dividing a decimal by a whole number is still sharing. £6.60 shared by 3 works just like £6 shared by 3. Estimate first, keep the decimal point in line, and check the answer makes sense.

Good to know

Questions about the packs

What do I get when I buy a pack?

Two PDFs: the Student Pack and a Teacher Pack with full answers. Download links appear straight after you pay and are emailed to you too.

Are any packs free?

Yes. The first pack in every strand and every diagnostic assessment are free to download, so you can try the approach before buying.

How do the bundles work?

Bundles group packs by topic, by year group, by strand, or the whole KS3 collection, at a lower price than buying each pack. If you add a bundle, any single packs it already includes are taken out of your basket so you never pay twice.

Can pupils work through a pack on their own?

Largely, yes. The pack does the teaching: give a pupil one short section at a time, then use the Teacher Pack afterwards to see what's clear and what needs another look.

Can I use the packs with my class or tutoring pupils?

A purchasing school or department may print and use its packs with its own classes and pupils. Tutors and families may use the packs with their own pupils or children. Packs may not be resold or redistributed.

Are the packs suitable for pupils with SEND?

They're written with SEND pupils in mind: one idea at a time, key words explained first, a visual for every idea and lots of small, achievable steps.

How is payment handled?

Securely by Stripe. You can pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and your card details never touch this website. Discount codes can be entered at checkout.

My download link has expired. What should I do?

Links last 30 days. Reply to your order email or get in touch with your receipt and we'll send fresh links.
