Average Rating4.04
(based on 184 reviews)

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.

A one sided A4 worksheet entitled “Monarchs of England and the UK: Tally Charts” where data relating to the length of reign of a number of monarchs is give to the nearest year, and this can be used to fill in the tally chart and draw a bar chart. A one sided A4 worksheet entitled “Gases in the Air: Tally Chart and Bar Chart” . Here 40 people have given the name of one of the six gases in the air, and pupils make a tally chart of this data, and then draw a bar chart. A one sided A4 worksheet entitled “Trees in a Wood: Tally Chart and Bar Chart” . Here 60 trees are given (6 different types), and pupils make a tally chart of this data, and then draw a bar chart.
