Maths Working Wall Natural Hessian

(0)
Maths working walls are an essential in a primary classroom. Here are the headings needed to create a cute working wall within a calming classroom. Included: -Natural hessian look bunting which says maths working wall -headings which say: we are learning to, vocabulary, examples of work, top tips for excellent work, WAGOLL, challenge and questions. -Numbers 0-20: one number per card. Each card has the number in digits, a ten frame and the written word. The bunting lettering is in bold capital letters and says maths working wall. Also included is a bunting flag with an apple and another with a sweet little chalk board. The headings have a large space to write under them. I laminate these and then use a white board marker to write and wipe as needed throughout the topic. I reuse them again and again. So once the board is set up it’s very easy to change and add to as often as required. I have this same display but in bright stripes if you’re after something more colourful.

Open ended maths investigation - year 2 addition

(1)
I use the activity with my year 2 students but it can easily be adapted to suit other year groups. This resource is a maths investigation to practice addition with regrouping. There are 3 levels of challenge to meet the varying needs of the pupils. You will need a box of small building bricks or lego. I just pick out the pieces I need and put a small amount on each table. A small amount goes a surprisingly long way with this activity as their constructions are quite small. I usually take pictures of the structures so we can talk about the value of each during the plenary.
