I have been a primary school teacher for 14 years both in the UK and internationally. I am taking a break from education, so I thought it was about time to put some of the resources I have created to good use (again). I have an abundance of resources so keep a look out as I will be adding them gradually. Thanks for checking out my shop!

The capacity challenge

The capacity challenge

This activity was used as part of a measures workshop I taught in Grade 1. On the table were different labelled containers and in the middle of the table was a large basin of water with a plastic cup inside. The idea was to observe the children’s mathematical thinking and problem solving skills throwing in questions now and then to support their autonomy. A really nice workshop - great and simple activity.
Progressive multiplication worksheet

Progressive multiplication worksheet

(0)
A worksheet consisting of a range of multiplication sums which require different mental strategies in order to solve. Strategies include inverse, multiplying by 10, partitioning and compensation. A resource that was used for higher ability independent math work in Year 3. Could be used for focused group teaching or lower abilities in Years 4 and up. This could also be given as pre or post unit assessments.
Graph story

Graph story

I used this resource with a year 3/4 class when introducing the concept of line graphs. This is a great way to get the children to understand trends before actually having to plot or read graphs. The children create their own ‘graph story’ by looking at the data and coming up with a feasible explanation of what might have happened to create the data. Comparing ideas was also fun!
Measuring with handspan

Measuring with handspan

A very simple sheet I used with my ESL Kinder/Reception class. Children estimate then use their hand span to measure different classroom objects. They record in the table. A quick and easy resource to use as an introduction or independent activity.
