Jamie Nairn has sent us this
interesting little activity. He says: Here is a set of number sequences to cut out

work out the rule. They then find that 2 of the numbers are wrong. They
must identify which ones and correct them. Blank squares to find next/previous 2 in
the sequence. For a range of abilities in upper KS2. |

The sheets use macros so don't worry if you get asked about them. Kath also says,"The
decimal sheet in 3+add.xls doesn't quite work without formatting the answer cells every
time as the macro only gives whole numbers." |

Spreadsheets |
Here's a huge collection of MS Excel
spreadsheet files that have been submitted by Damian Railston. He
says, "Most of them give you a new worksheet every time you open
it. I use them to generate
work to put on my interactive board.
You need the analysis tool pack installed and, if printed out,
they'll need to have the page setup adjusted and probably some of
the columns will need adjusting.There's also the odd mistake...
nobody's perfect!"(To
install the Analysis tool pack Go to Tools --> Add ins..) |

Tables
tests
Corrected 12/3/06 |
This is an MS Excel
workbook that generates tables "squares" for the children to
complete. Each square has nine rows (2-10). The 3 different sheets
have 4, 5 and 9 columns. It also generates answer sheets (to save
you time). I use them as weekly tables tests ("How many can you get
right in 5 minutes?").
The sheet uses a macro to
jumble up the row and column headings so you will need to set your
Macro Security Level to medium before loading the spreadsheet). |
