I am the Head Teacher Of Maria International School Of Bucharest in Romania. I am also very keen at developing different TES teaching resources to discover what works well for different classes. I am constantly looking for new and exciting different ways of presenting and teaching different primary topics, especially maths topics.

I wanted to make Year 6 SATs revision more fun. I have combined each of the 2015 Past SATs papers for maths questions and the marking scheme into a single document. This means that a teacher can now show a single question and get the students to find the answer before moving onto the next question.
This makes revision a lot less stressful. I have removed the time limits and of course students can now work in pairs or small teams to discuss their different strategies and answers. It also helps to make the lessons faster paced and snappier as the children start to gain confidence in their abilities to solve maths problems.
This resource could be used in the classroom or at home to prepare for the UK Year 6 SATs exams. Students should try all the tests to gain the deepest knowledge of this subject.
Please leave me a comment below about this teaching resource.

Instant lessons. I have taken the Springboard 4 planning and made simple to use lessons, with everything a teacher needs to teach their lesson. With 20 lessons in the pack, this could be used for booster lessons.
You could look at it directly as a presentation and discuss the different objects for sale and the different stores being shown in each of the photos.
This pack contains a 31 Teaching Activity Teacher Guide using these photo flash cards. These activities are quick and fun to do and will improve both your students' memory and vocabulary skills.
You could print off and laminate the photos to make an interesting, eye-catching display about shopping.
The students could also take the laminated photos and sort them into different types of shops and shopping.
The photos could also be used as prompts for creative writing, factual writing or descriptive writing.
Are you looking for Mental Maths Revision Quizzes for Year 6? I have written 24 self marking sets of Mental Maths quizzes for students.
The quizzes are similar to those students use for their Year 6 SATS exams.
When a student has completed a test, they can instantly see what they got correct, and what they need to work on.
The front page of this Excel file is especially interesting for teachers as it provides a summary of the scores the students have achieved as both a table and a bar chart.
The teacher simply downloads the Excel file and renames in the student's name. The student could complete these tests at home or in the classroom.
Are you teaching about counting to 10? Here is a great teaching tool, linked into fireworks, bonfire night and Guy Fawkes events.
Students can count the numbers in order or solve the mixed up number slides.
You could look at it directly as a presentation and discuss the different materials being shown in each of the photos.
You could print off and laminate the photos to make an interesting, eye-catching display about Guy Fawkes - Counting to 10.
