This resource consists of 2 downloads.
Download 1 has 110 pages of worksheets. It is arranged in 3 sections. The first section introduces several topics that are important in early mathematics learning such as drawing graphs and shapes. However, there are also excellent practise sheets on counting and ordering numbers. Section 2 is concerned with counting numbers up to 20 and writing them in order. This topic is introduced in a number of interesting but different ways to help consolidate the concept. Section 3 consolidates the arithmetic concepts of addition and subtraction with many interesting examples to practise on. These pages are ideally used in class alongside the second download.
Download 2 contains 155 pages. This is also arranged in 3 sections and can be photocopied as 3 separate workbooks for students to take as homework, or the pages can be used in parallel with the other resource. If students are taking home a visible homework book, then parents are happy. Working through the pages in each of these downloads help consolidate learning of the concepts, give your students a good grounding in the basics of number and introduce your students to work being covered in mathematics in the next few years.
This is a structured, easy to follow 3 part series of fun activities designed to stimulate and challenge your students. Each booklet is 80 pages.
Part 1 covers: numbers and place value to 1000, arithmetic strategies, adding and subtracting in columns, fractions, equivalent fractions, adding fractions and multiplication strategies. By the end of this section students will be more confident with larger numbers and arithmetic. Awareness of larger number relationships will give more confidence when manipulating numbers.
Part 2 covers: place value and number relationships, adding and subtracting fractions, decimals and decimal arithmetic, graphs and handling data, units of measure, perimeter, area, angles, multiplication strategies, division and averages.
Part 3 covers fun arithmetic, order of operations, temperature, integers, integer arithmetic, fractions, decimals, percentages, perimeter, area, volume, probability and a final test of progress.
Ideally these books could be copied and given as homework books or supplementary sheets. These are then a visible record of work for teachers, parents and students. Each page is easily completed and are designed to lead to success and confidence which then leads to increased motivation and an overall enjoyment of learning.
This is a 60-page book with teacher notes and student handouts guides students through a number of simulation exercises to show that sometimes in real life, situations don’t always come out the way we expect. As well as the teacher notes and student worksheets there is also an explanation on how to use the RND# function on a calculator and how to use Excel for simulations.
Can we predict male/female compositions in different family sizes? How many winning streaks can you expect when playing against a person of equal ability? How many packets of tea do you need to purchase in order to collect a full set of 6 jigsaw pieces? What floor will people get off when setting out in an elevator? Do lie detectors really work? What is the Monty Hall dilemma? Do we need to worry about radioactive decay? What are the chances of having the same birth date as another person in the same room? How fast can an infectious disease like the flu spread? Can we predict lambing rates on a farm? What are the chances of not getting on the plane on your next flight? To find out the answer to any or all of these, download Simulations Chance and Data.
In this resource you will find some activities that have been traditional favourites in Early Childhood Centres for many years. Other activities have evolved spontaneously from our exploration of materials and resources or from my own experimentations and interests. All the activities are ‘hands-on’ and provide opportunities for children to explore, hypothesise, observe, reflect and revisit. Most involve resources and equipment that are inexpensive and easy to access, and all of them are lots of fun! The book also emphasises the opportunities that science activities offer teachers to extend thinking skills and develop conceptual understandings. To this end I have described what children might observe and the potential learning that may result from their participation. I have also listed questions that teachers might usefully ask to challenge thinking. I hope you enjoy this resource and the activities it contains, but also that you might be inspired to create your own.
There are 48 pages of worksheets in this pack. These sheets have been used at Year 11 but also for advanced Year 9 and 10 classes. All the relevant Algebra needed for Year 11 exams.
There are pages on:
Simplifying like terms, expressions and fractions.
Substitutions
Expanding and simplifying single and double brackets
Factorizing simple expressions and quadratics.
Solving 1 step, 2 step and multiple step equations
Simultaneous Equations
Changing the subject of an equation
Sequences from simple calculating terms to finding the rule of linear and quadratic sequences.
Finally a set of pages that contain exam type questions from Basic to Proficient and Advanced.
This resource consists of 2 booklets of worksheets. The first contains 94 pages and the second contains 120 pages. I have used Booklet A as a class workbook and Booklet B as a follow up homework book. The booklets contain parallel work so that the homework being set is at the same level as the class work being set that week. Both booklets follow the same learning sequence: writing numbers, counting to 5, counting to ten, numbers to twenty, recognizing smaller and bigger numbers, simple addition to ten, subtraction with numbers less than ten, addition to twenty and subtraction with numbers less than twenty, beginner multiplication and division by describing groups of objects in rows then using the diagrams to learn simple multiplication and division. Altogether you are getting over 200 pages of quality classroom tested worksheets. Everything is there for the teacher. No need to search for the next page in a learning sequence or to find a homework sheet. Each of the worksheets contains engaging images and the spaces for answers are specifically designed for child’s handwriting.
This is a 3 part, 180 page, easy-to-follow series of fun activities designed to stimulate and challenge the maturing mathematician. Not all worksheets are created equal. Each page in this series delivers value. They are not just to keep students busy and occupied but they are designed to directly support active and progressive learning.
To look at the style of work go to my store and download the 60 page Part 1 booklet for FREE. When you are there download the other FREE booklets and circulate to other colleagues in your school.
Part 1 covers methods of multiplication, number patterns, ordinals and counting up to 1000, adding and subtracting strategies, fractions and money calculations. By the end of the book students will have a better awareness of numbers and number relationships and more confidence when manipulating larger numbers.
Part 2 covers number sequences, arithmetic strategies, measurement and fractions. By the end of the book students will have gained confidence with arithmetic and will recognize the value of each digit that makes up a number
Part 3 covers arithmetic strategies, fractions, statistics and measurement. By the end of the book students will be confident in their ability to manipulate numbers.
Success and confidence in mathematics will lead to an increase in motivation and an enjoyment of learning. This resource can be as separate extra sheets to reinforce concepts being taught in class or copied into 3 booklets for students to take and study at home. This will complement school work and have an enormous impact on future academic achievement.
This 208-page resource is designed to help support the teacher with lots of supplementary or homework pages. All the strands of the maths curriculum are covered to provide extra work to both reinforce or extend the normal maths lesson. This means students can extend, maintain or get a head start on future topics being taught. There are pages on Number, Measurement, Geometry, Algebra and Statistics. All the pages were originally hand drawn. This immediately makes them different to all the existing computer-generated pages that students are used to. The goal for each page was to have different sorts of activities such as basic practice, and puzzle but to try and present each in a student friendly way that makes them want to do the whole page. These are not just time fillers but are structured and fun activities designed to stimulate and challenge the learner.
There is a FREE 84-page sample that gives you an idea of the layout. The pages in the sample contain the arithmetic pages. If you like these pages, then why not purchase the two books. Also visit my shop, download the other free sample books and pass them on to your colleagues. Most are over 80 pages and cover maths work from year 1 through to year 8.
