Start your lesson like this: ask students to visualise the first three primes, square them, and write the results in the top right corner of their exercise book page.

Date done. Now let’s get on with the lesson!

Whatever you are teaching it is nice to have a variety of resources rather than the textbook alone. Type just one word into the Transum search page to find some gems you may not have otherwise considered:

If you haven't tried the Uniqueness Game with your Maths class yet I suggest you give it a go. It has worked so well for me with all abilities. Just project it on your whiteboard and wait:
