Three rimes table trick with arrays to help with the three times table multiplication strategy .
This clear, step-by-step and helpful PowerPoint will help students learn that multiplication by 3 can be done by doubling and adding another set.
e.g. to calculate 3 × 14:
first double 14 getting 28, then add another 14, (to get 3 times 14) which is 42.
21 Examples are presented (from 3 x 2 up to 3 x 21) in order, or from a hyperlink menu.
Each slide shows the sum and a confused face,
Then two lines of the matching array (showing the doubling array)
Then another set (another line of the array) is added
Whilst the matching thought process is shown with clear sums.
Finally everything apart from the x3 sum and array dissolve out, leaving just the sum, the answer and the x3 array.
Each part of the thought multiplication strategy is presented when you click the mouse, giving students time to work out and explain each step.
Includes 3 level differentiated mathcing sylte worksheets and skip counting x3 worksheets.
Also see my Multiplication Strategies pack which includes this trick and other common multiplication strategies

Animated & illustrated PowerPoint introduction to prefixes and suffixes and how they change the meaning of (base) words.
Most common prefixes and suffixes covered.
Each prefix or suffix is presented with 10+ logical examples in an engaging style. Think-pair-share activities for each prefix or suffix.
Slide Order:
Review of base words quickly covered with an identify the base word activity.
Explanation and examples of common prefixes: ‘re’, ‘un’, ‘mis’, ‘pre’, and ‘dis’.
Each prefix then followed with a think-pair-share activity.
20+ examples of words with the prefix then shown for students to self check against.
Explanation and examples of common suffixes: ‘-ful’, ‘-less’, ‘ly’, ‘er’, ‘est’
Each suffix followed with a think-pair-share activity
20+ Examples of words with the suffix.
Quite a long slide show if all done at once (whole lesson perhaps). Could be used to introduce/review just prefixes or suffixes in one lesson by showing only 1 half of the presentation. Some slides could also be hidden.
Other than a brief explanation and examples for each prefix or suffix, I’ve tried to keep it quite straight forward so that their isn’t too much lecturing or reading required.
Recommend students use mini-whiteboards for the think-pair-shares or list on paper the examples pairs or small groups can come up with.
Been designed with ESL grade 3, 4 and 5 students as the target pupils, so repetitive language used with vocabulary building as a desired outcome.
Think Addition Strategy to do Subtraction mental math 2 Presentations & 8 Worksheets -
Think-addition-to-do-subtraction is a mental math strategy that introduces students to the concept that there is an inverse relationship between addition and subtraction. You think of an addition fact in the same fact family. For example, you can solve 10 - 4 = ? by thinking 4 + ? = 10 and knowing that 4 + 6 = 10.
I made these two PowerPoints to help my grade 3 class (ages 8 & 9) with the think-addition strategy. Many of my students this year are slow to recall number-bond facts, and therefore this has hopefully helped them to see the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction. Could well be used in earlier grades.
1 PowerPoint of 25 sums with matching circles being added and taken away: mainly for subtraction sums between 10-20, but also has 4 slides for facts to 10.
Slides can of course be hidden and order rearranged.
2nd PowerPoint of 20 larger sums with no circles: variety of examples within 100.
Comes with seven subtraction think addition worksheets in PDF format of increasing difficulty, and 1 editable microsoft word worksheet.
Use these writing frames to help Key Stage 1 and lower Key Stage 2 students write stories.
8 story idea writing frames with suggested words to help students write interesting stories. Appropriate possible word choices for characters, and setting and a selection of appropriate key phrases, adjectives and verbs which writers could incorporate into their stories. All or just a few of the words can be used. Although it may seem to a teacher or tutor that the plot is predetermined by the word selection children can write a multitude of different stories by selecting fewer or more words, putting words in different orders and by adding their own extra words and information to create a different story each time. (Differentiation by outcome)
Designed to help young writers expand their vocabulary and have fun writing.

Compensation Strategy for Mental Subtraction.
By visually illustrating the mental subtraction strategy of compensation by using moving base ten blocks and a bin my students where able to better understand how answers are adjusted by adding back or subtracting more and therefore compensating for the rounding which made the question easier.
