This great free software enables you to create your own mathematical jigsaws or dominoes. You choose the shape (hexagon, rhombus, parallelogram, rectangle or even a parquet). You print off on card and laminate or just print on paper and cut up.
Just like Blue Peter here are some I made earlier.
Calculations This is ideal for ESOL students revising words for the 4 rules.
To download the free software so you can make your own go to Hermitech Laboratory and download Formulator Tarsia.
I guess there are numeracy teachers all over the country with libraries of these jigsaws! If you would like to share yours with everybody please send me your masterpieces and I will endeavour to publish them here. Mr Barton Maths.com has an amazing collection of 550 jigsaws on his website here.

To complete this quiz you need to be able to order decimals. Here is an example to help you.
Which is bigger, 0.3 or 0.25?
Ever so many people make the mistake of saying 0.25 is bigger because 25 is bigger than 3. This is very wrong!
Remember the place value of decimals.
0.3 means three tenths.
0.25 means 2 tenths and 5 hundredths.
Three tenths is bigger than 2 tenths, so 0.3 is bigger.

Converting between decimals and fractions
Thanks to John Ford for this quiz.
You need to be able to convert fractions to decimals and decimals to fractions.
To convert a fraction to a decimal divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number).
eg 3/4
3รท4 = 0.75
To change a decimal to a fraction think what place value the number on the right hand side has.
eg 0.45
The 5 is in the hundredths column, so the denominator will be 100.
The numerator is 45
So 0.45 = 45/100
This cancels down as both numbers divide by 5.
45/100 = 9/20
