I create mathematics powerpoint and other resources for Key Stages 1, 2, 3 & 4, which are designed to clearly explain topics. These can be presented by the teacher, or accessed by individual students. I can create bespoke resources. Most KS2 and KS4 Maths Topics are in Bundles, as are the KS1 Powerpoint Mental Starters, or available separately If you'd like a bespoke bundle, please tell me the items you would like in it, and I will do this, at a discount of about 30% off total price.

This practical learning tool includes 40 single-sided A4 homework sheets, covering topics on the Year 3 National Curriculum. Delivered to you electronically. We recommend one homework sheet to be set each week, with any remaining sheets to be set as holiday homework. This invaluable resource will provide all of your Year 3 homework for the entire year, hence saving you time in planning. As the year progresses, pupils could put their completed sheets into a homework file or folder, hence providing a full homework record for every pupil in your Year 3 class. Alternatively, the PDF book could be printed out and stapled or ring-bound to make a complete book for each pupil. The sheets can be tackled in any order depending upon your own scheme of work for Year 3. They appear in this book broadly in the order in which the topics are listed in the National Curriculum. Answers are also provided in the form of fully filled-in sheets. This should make marking easy and also allows for the relevant page to be projected onto a screen in your classroom to allow for peer marking.

Winter Snowflake Dice Activity An ideal low cost resource for the Winter Term. This fun but educational activity looks at nets of solids, tally charts, and bar charts. Pupils’ work from this activity could make an ideal classroom display, and is suitable for pupils of varying age and activities. This PDF resource involves pupils making both a cube and a tetrahedron from the given nets (which can be photocopied onto card). The faces of the cube have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 snowflakes on them, and the Tetrahedron faces have 1, 2, 3, or 4 snowflakes on them (which could be decorated by the pupils before assembling the solid). Each of the solids is then rolled 60 times, and the number it lands on is recorded in a tally chart. This is then used to draw a bar chart, and comments on the bar chart can be made. The 5 pages of the PDF are: A page of instructions A page with a Net for the Cube A page with two nets for the Tetrahedron (in two different sizes) A page to record the tally chart, bar chart and comments for the Cube A page to record the tally chart, car chart and comments for the Tetrahedron The pupils then use these solids to make a tally chart.
