Thank you!Thanks for downloading these excellent maths wordsearches from GreatMaths Teaching Ideas!

These resources focus on consolidating understanding of key concepts in

GCSE mathematics and improving literacy through using correctmathematical vocabulary. In addition to a wordsearch, you will see on most ofthe resources that I ask the pupils to explain the meaning of the hiddenwords or to give examples. The aim is that whilst doing a fun wordsearch,the students will also have to explain the key conceptual mathematical ideas,

putting them into their own words. This ensures the learners are reflectivethinkers and also promotes independent learning skills through them havingto research and summarise key ideas. The resources make great revisiontools.

The wordsearches span the length and breadth of the GCSE mathematicscurriculum. There is a Mega Maths Wordsearch towards the back of thecollection that brings together key concepts from across the wholecurriculum. I have found this a useful resource for revision lessons where the

pupils identify the hidden words and then describe their meaning. A bit ofhealthy competition adds to the engagement! At the back of the collection is aDesign Your Own Maths Wordsearch resource that you may find useful ifyou want your class to be creative and reflect on the key terms of a topic.

Thanks again for downloading these resources and I hope you and yourstudents get lots of quality learning experiences from them!
