This selection of resources are to promote independent and logical thinking regarding numbers and patterns. This Key stage 1 activity can be used to help children work independently or alone to find number related patterns. It can be extended to larger numbers.
This power point and activity sheets, are to help children think logically and methodically about solving number problems. The class could rehearse the skills needed, or just let the children have a go at working out the puzzles.
These puzzles can be used for any classification of people! This slide show shows the basic idea and suggests ways to extend and enhance the principles of the puzzles. Games can be made to suit learning themes and children can construct and design their own puzzles to share and challenge each other. There is no limit to the imagination...
An activity to stimulate thought and reasoning around negative and positive numbers and how they work.

This power point is a background for discussion and questions that relate to positive and negative numbers.
