Build confident recall of essential number vocabulary with this Maths Literacy Anagrams resource. Designed for mixed-level KS3 and GCSE mathematics, it gives pupils repeated clue-based practice with the precise language used in number work, including properties of number, fractions, decimals, percentages, ratio and proportion, powers, roots, bounds, rounding and standard form.

Pupils read a mathematical clue, identify the correct term, unscramble the letters and record the answer using the word-length support. The clue has to be understood first, so the activity links definition recognition, retrieval, spelling and accurate mathematical language.

The pack includes 10 different worksheet versions, with 10 clue-and-scramble items on each worksheet, giving 100 worksheet items in total. It contains one combined printable PDF with pupil worksheets, matching solution pages, a front sheet, structure page and Product Overview, plus a matching editable 16:9 PowerPoint with question slides and answer slides.
