I have been a primary school teacher for 14 years both in the UK and internationally. I am taking a break from education, so I thought it was about time to put some of the resources I have created to good use (again). I have an abundance of resources so keep a look out as I will be adding them gradually. Thanks for checking out my shop!

Timed addition and subtraction

Timed addition and subtraction

(0)
I devised these worksheets for repetitive use over a week. The children would repeat one sheet daily for a week to help them improve their mental addition and subtraction agility.
Problem solving pictures

Problem solving pictures

(0)
A simple resource I created for ESL children. Children need to cut and paste the solution to the problem. All in picture format. Children can then talk through the pictures. I made this because all examples I found were in written format and beyond the level of my children.

Miss D's Guide to Napier's Rod

(0)
A PowerPoint presentation I designed to introduce Napier's Rod as a multiplication strategy. Could be used as homework help or support for parents. A good and quick revision aid that can be edited.
Estimating with capacity

Estimating with capacity

(0)
A simple sheet I used in Kindergarten (ESL children) where they had to estimate which container would have the biggest/smallest capacity, then measure by counting cups of water to fill each container. A fun activity to reinforce capacity.

Getting to Know You!

This is a back to school/New school year activity to promote talk and collaboration. The aim is that students go around and talk to other members of the class in order to find someone to fit each category. There are 2 differentiated versions - both editable.

This is a worksheet designed for year 3/4 when teaching explanatory texts. Each page has a different picture for the children to use, they will both describe what can be seen and explain what is happening in the picture. Resource can be used at any point in the unit.
Design a game template

Design a game template

A template that children can use to design their own game using a magnet. I used this resource as part of the science springs and magnets unit with Year 3, but this is easily transferable to other year groups.
Create a character

Create a character

Children will use this frame to help them develop ideas about a new character. I used this after the children created characters using the 'draw, fold and switch' method. They stuck their characters onto the sheet and then wrote details about the character they had created. There are 3 different versions of the sheet - a really fun way to promote creative, detailed writing.
Graph story

Graph story

(1)
I used this resource with a year 3/4 class when introducing the concept of line graphs. This is a great way to get the children to understand trends before actually having to plot or read graphs. The children create their own 'graph story' by looking at the data and coming up with a feasible explanation of what might have happened to create the data. Comparing ideas was also fun!
Finding right angles

Finding right angles

(0)
Children locate right angles within the classroom. They record their findings in the table and then use their knowledge to visualize whether certain objects have right angles. Used in Year 2/3.
Informal letter sort

Informal letter sort

2 differentiated informal letters for the children to cut out, sort and stick into the correct format. Great revision or initial assessment of understanding.
States of matter ppt

States of matter ppt

(0)
An introduction to states of matter and changes. Resource includes an activity where the children work in groups to sort properties of matter. Used with Grade 3.
Cause and effect sort
buttababezbuttababez

Cause and effect sort

(0)
This is a cut and paste activity. Children will be given colour coded cause and effect sentences, which they should unscramble and paste in their books. Children will then shade the cause in one colour and the effect in another. I had the sentences pre-cut and in envelopes (1 set for each child). As the sentences are colour coded this worked well and also gave the children a chance to revise their knowledge of sentences e.g. starting with a capital etc. This activity was used for a LA group in Year 3 but could be used in many different ways, including pre_assessment of cause and effect, or end of unit assessment. The children really enjoyed the activity.
Progressive multiplication worksheet
buttababezbuttababez

Progressive multiplication worksheet

(0)
A worksheet consisting of a range of multiplication sums which require different mental strategies in order to solve. Strategies include inverse, multiplying by 10, partitioning and compensation. A resource that was used for higher ability independent math work in Year 3. Could be used for focused group teaching or lower abilities in Years 4 and up. This could also be given as pre or post unit assessments.
