24 SHEETS WITHIN THE POWERPOINT. A resource that can be adapted to year group and topic depending on key words that you may be focusing on. Children use the word in the middle of the sheet and define it by placing it into who, what, where, why, how sentences. They can use these to improve vocabulary throughout the year.

A pack of verb defining sheets that ask, who, what, where, when and how to enable children to use the verb in a number of contexts. Put the verb into a sentence which answers the questions of who, what, where, when and how. For example ‘glanced’; where? She glanced over the hill. Fun and challenging. This can be consistently improved on and consistently used to show progress with grammar understanding.

These can be used as a starter or plenary when considering the mastery of numbers 2-20. They get children to think of how many ways that number can be made. You could use them as a stand alone number revisit or within lessons that look at the four operations. They fit any age range as the numbers can be changed and the range of potential number sentences improves. These were originally created for my year 2 class however I have since used them in year 1 and year 3 with great effect. I use them sporadically throughout the year to ensure they remain confident in their understanding of number. I have also added a time limit which children really seem to enjoy. See how many they can get in the time given and a reward for the most but also the most complex number sentence.
