This resource includes a variety of prompts to help your students make connections to an area model, and visuals to support their thinking. It can be used as an introductory activity, an informal assessment, an independent activity, a small group activity, and in a progression. Pages 3-6: Provides 4 area model visuals using place value tiles and asks the question, “How does this model show repeated addition?” Pages 7-10: Provides the same 4 area model visuals using place value tiles and asks the question, “How is this like an array?” Pages 11-14: Provides the same 4 area model visuals using place value tiles and asks the question, “What do I see? What do I wonder What am I learning?” Page 15-18: Provides the same 4 area model visuals using place value tiles for schools that use Thinking Maps curriculum (circle map). Pages 19-23 *More supported: Provides an equation, some of the area model visual and a grid to give children the chance to finish drawing an area model. Children can respond under their drawing with a written response about their drawing. (See thumbnail for sample) Pages 24-28 *Less supported: Provides an equation, some of the area model visual and an empty table to give children the chance to finish drawing an area model. Children can respond under their drawing with a written response about their drawing. (See thumbnail for sample) Page 29 A blank model for the teacher or students to create their own equation and area model drawing. The children can respond under their drawing with a written response.

This resource includes 1 set of 8 three-part puzzles. Piece 1: Improper Fraction Piece 2: Visual representation Piece 3: Mixed Number *Great for decomposing mixed numbers

This resource is a zip file containing two parts: *A PDF file of decimal visual representations from 0.01 - 1.00 *An editable PPT file of the same decimal visual representations - Both the PDF and PPT are 72 pages in length _ _ _ _ This past year, I failed to find a comprehensive resource that I could copy/paste from to create my own decimal resources for my children! I created this so that I would never have that trouble again. Each slide/page can be printed, trimmed and laminated to create decimal cards for centers (PDF recommended) , OR you can copy/paste the visuals directly onto your own working documents using the Powerpoint file.

Specifically aimed at Year 4 children *Three different types of decimal place value puzzles *These puzzles are designed to help lower achieving and middle achieving children VISUALISE equivalencies between tenths and hundredths *Also reinforces place value order up to 2 places *Each type of puzzle comes with 5 sets of 7

Before this, the children made a connection to 0.6 and 0.60 through shading amounts on a 100 square grid. However, I believe they still need strong visuals to remember the difference between hundredths and tenths (ex. 0.2 and 0.02). Likewise, the first piece on the left gives them instructions about where digits go to help them become fluent with place value order.

**This resource does not include an input to deliver to your class and it is NOT a lesson plan. It is a resource to support a specific area in the maths curriculum: using bar models to represent comparison problems. I love using bar models to teach comparison problems! Many children confuse 'difference'; with addition instead of subtraction and do not realise how many more/less is a way of comparing two different amounts. These questions are often asked in context with liquid, height, money, etc. Last year, I had my children come up with an example of a comparison problem and write it in the empty box provided. (For example: A football costs £12.45, but a pair of shin pads costs £7.00. What is the difference in their price?) Then, they had to write the item with the larger price next to the large bar model, and the name of the item with the lower price next to the small bar model. They worked out to solve the answer in their books and rotated around the room to solve other children's problems. You can also give children the problems you want them to solve and ask them to model it using the bar model cards. They can then use the empty space to show their working out. This is a great way to show children comparison problems through a variety of contexts and prepare them for making connections across different maths domains and problem-solving. *INCLUDED is a black and white template of the bars for you to adapt as necessary*

This bundle is ONLY my related facts and inverse operation sheets, from the multiplication packets I sell. There is a sheet for 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 times tables. These sheets are perfect if you are looking for extra practice, or a sheet to be used for a quiz or test. I realise the packets are not friendly for all year groups, but these are printable that are suitable for many children understanding inverse relationships and writing fact families! Some of the fact triangles and related facts can even bridge understanding to halving and doubling numbers! For example, if children know 10 and 3 make 30, then they can derive 20 and 3 make 60! Some of the triangles reflect this challenge for the lower times tables to make it KS2 appropriate. The sample in the preview is the format of each page.

This bundle is ONLY my patterns and steps sheets, from the multiplication packets I sell. The current sheets in the bundle are for 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 times tables. Each sheet includes: *2 digit number line *Negative number line *Two 3-digit number lines *Two 4-digit number lines Download my 6 times tables pack for free to sample this sheet.

This bundle is ONLY my factor pairs sheets, from the multiplication packets I sell. The sheets in this bundle are for 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 times tables. There is no factorisation necessary for 4, 3, or 2 times tables. This bundle will not be expanding! It is never too early to introduce the word factor to your children who are learning multiplication! These sheets are perfect for many year groups, as they can be adapted easily to discuss: 1) Factor pairs - what two numbers can be multiplied to make this product? 2) Doubling and halving -if 8 and 6 are factors of 48, we can half 8 to get a factor of 4. Then we double the 6 and get a factor of 12. 12 and 4 are also factors of 48! 3) Divisibility - if a product is divisible by 6, it is also divisible by 3 and 2.

This bundle is ONLY my mixed times tables sheets, from the multiplication packets I sell. Includes sheets for all tables 2-12x *Perfect for quizzes, tests, homework or extra practice These sheets are perfect if you are looking for extra practice, or a sheet to be used for a quiz or test.
