What people are saying about this resource
This was a great and quick activity to do for an informal assessment. It was exactly what I needed. Thank you for taking the time to make it.
I really loved this resource, however it was a little too hard for my class at the time of year that it was given… really like it and recommend it!
WOW!! This is an amazing resource.
Cute product. My student is obsessed with cats and enjoyed coloring them.
My students loved it and begged for more.

Looking for a Collaborative Easter Project???
-Let your students work together to create a wonderful HUGE poster to proudly display in your classroom. 36 pages…enough for the largest of classes.
-Watch your students and colleagues as they admire the fantastic final product.
-Why not use it as a backdrop to take photos of your students to make personalised Easter Cards.?
I recommend printing this on heavy card to make compiling this huge poster a little easier.
-This resource is designed to be a class collaborative project, with each students working on a page of the larger puzzle/poster.
-This resource contains 35 printable pages that can be put together to make a large display poster for your classroom.
-The completed poster measures approximately 14cm wide x 14 cm high or 4’wide x 4’ high
-Use this image as a guide to see where each of these pieces go….this adds to the collaborative challenge of this project.
How to Print
-This resource comes in two versions (the choice is yours). Make sure when you are printing that you select full slide or fit to page to get the maximum image on each of the slides. This has been created using US letter (8.5 x 11 inches) but it will print in A4 size also.
-For best results print on card stock so that the corners of the pages don’t curl and each section is easier to manage.
-I highly recommend that your students use the same medium for the whole poster for consistency. In my opinion, I find crayons or pastels give an even finish whereas markers tend to give more lined effect and is more time consuming to complete
-The letter labels can be done with a different medium to create a nice contrast. Markers work well for this aspect of the group task.
How to Assemble
-My preferred method is to use masking tape, (sticky tape can become very difficult to work with for children) or alternatively have large sheets of butchers paper joined together and paste the puzzle pieces directly onto blank paper.
Some trimming may be required.
What People are saying about this project

These little tags are designed as a classroom management strategy to help support students if they become ‘stuck’ on a classroom activity.
Each day, 3 students are nominated to be the ASK 3 TEAM, and these tags are designed to be laminated and worn on the end of lanyards to identify them in the classroom.
Fantastic for classroom teachers to have in their teaching kit to leave with the names of 3 responsible students if they are going to be absent.
A helpful resource and strategy for Relief teachers to have in their resource kits. Look for responsible students and allow them to be your assistant teachers for the day.
Engage your students in practicing factors, multiples, prime, and composite numbers with this fun card game with engaging characters and bright colors
Do your students need support with consolidation and practising their multiplication and factorisation skills? This fun and engaging game is perfect for math centres and as a fast finishing game for your class.
This version features some crazy gremlins and creatures which are appealing to a range of age groups.
SETTING UP THE CARDS
1.Duplicate the background slide, and print your number cards back to back with the striped background. This is the set of factor cards.
2.Create the Target cards, by printing the targets back to back as you did with the number cards.
3.Laminate the cards for durability- You may choose to print off and laminate the playing mats.
HOW TO PLAY
For 2-4 players
1.Shuffle the 7 factor cards (numbers 1-12), and deal 7 cards to each player. Place the rest of the deck face down on the table.
2.Shuffle the target cards and turn over the top card revealing the target number.
3.Let’s say the target card is 36, the player to the left of the dealer will look at the cards in their hand and see if any of them are a factor of 36.
4.If that player has a factor they will place it next to the target card, for instance, if it the player has a 4, they will say 9x4=36, and then the play will go to the next person to the left and continue until a player does not have a card that is a factor of the target number. That person then has to pick up ALL of the cards that have already been played.
5.The next player will turn over the next target card from the top of the pile, and play will continue.
6.The winner is the person who manages to get rid of all of the cards in their hand first.
7.Each player MUST say the multiplication face when playing their card.
An affordable and versatile resource for any classroom.

Math Logic Puzzles and Brain teasers are a great way to start a lesson or use as a brain break. Have them on Interactive Whiteboard displayed as a classroom entry activity.
Lateral thinking is a form of problem-solving that utilizes a more creative, less direct approach to the problem. Analytical, logical problem-solving encourages vertical thinking, which is an approach we’re often taught when dealing with math equations.
Suggested ideas for use in the classroom
Give the students 5 minutes to solve the riddle or puzzles before revealing the answers. Great discussion starters as many of these may have more than one answer or explanation.
These can also be used for fast finishers as problem solving tasks. Students really enjoy the Optical illusions which are included in this pack.
Included is 1 PDF which can be easily saved on any storage device. A great addition to any Relief or Substitute teacher’s bag of tricks.
Suitable for middle primary to lower secondary students. (Answers included where necessary.)
Can you work out the answer to this one?
"All of Jenny’s pets are dogs except one. All of her pets are cats except one. How many cats and dogs does Jenny have? (HINT: Jenny has less than 5 dogs)

Are you looking for a fun and interesting way to engage your students Learning and mastering addition facts with sums to 2 can be challenging for students, but not with this fun and interactive powerpoint.
This Powerpoint product includes 4 slides that your students can practice their addition fluency to 2. The first 2 slides use drag and drop characters where students can practice the strategy of counting on. For early learners, still at the counting from one stage, this strategy can be used but encouragement to count on can be developed using this resource.
The second set of 2 slides encourages counting on from the largest number given, to determine the answer which can be written in an editable box. If the presentation is run from this point in presentation mode, students can click on the slide to check their answers after filling in the answer boxes. I encourage you to make a copy of this presentation or to NOT SAVE changes, when you finish, otherwise your working out will remain on the slides.
It can be used for whole group instruction or independent work. You can assign a few slides per day for your students to practice. Simply make a copy of this product and choose the slides that you want to assign.

What is a thinkboard?
It is a graphic organiser or tool to assist students to make connections across/ within and between different representations of knowledge. The more connections that are made:
•the better the understanding of the mathematics
•the more likely it will be that the mathematical knowledge is retained
•and easier it should be to apply the mathematics
The focus of the think board is on finding
the connections between the different
ways of representing a problem.
How to use them
•Arrange students into groups of four, placed around the Think Board’s four sections. Provide the students with one of the sections as a starting point and give them time to discuss the idea with their neighbours before deciding on what to record.
•You can also work on a Think Board as a whole class or individually.
Assessment
•Think Boards promote discussion – look for mathematical language used.
•Assess individual student’s understanding of a mathematical idea – look at all sections of the
•Think Board individually to find strengths and weaknesses
This resource contains both PPT and PDF versions in a ZIP file so please ensure that you have the software to open them
You will recieve a set of 5 different Thinkboards for each number and an editable version so that you can create your own.
