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 upper primary to lower secondary students. (Answers included where necessary.)

Subitising is the instant recognition of patterns of shapes to be able to determine a number. There are many different ways in which we all see these patterns and they are a lively discussion topic for any primary grade class to determine how we interpret these displays of dots. I encourage you to view this dot number talk by Jo Boaler in one of her many inspirational presentations https://vimeo.com/129139086 where she works through this concept with a middle primary group of students. This download comes with both a PowerPoint presentation and a PDF version with 27 slides/pages (including credits and terms of use). As the slides increase in difficulty the students transfer their knowledge from class discussions and can readily determine a quite complex display of dots on a page. The graphics are engaging and visually inviting for students with some wonderful clipart from Manny's Sketchpad . A useful addition to any Maths Teaching resource kit for primary school teaching.

WHY Number Talks? Encourage students to discuss their answers with their peers. How did they reach the answer? What were they thinking in their head? What facts did they already know that helped them? What did they see? Number talks will get your students engaged in meaningful mathematical conversations that will increase their ability to reason mathematically as well as develop their computational fluency skills and their ability to think flexibly about numbers. When students engage in this short daily activity, they communicate with their peers in a safe environment where it’s okay to not be right all the time. It’s okay to learn from each other. They learn to discuss various strategies and the effectiveness of those strategies. They begin to take risks. Use the powerpoint to model the different ways that we can visualise a given number. This set comprises the numbers 1-2, and shows the number in a ten frame written as a word using hands domino patterns dice patterns subitising patterns clipart version of the number tally marksThe powerpoint is editable so that you can change to the text that you require, and then save as a PDF prior to printing. Ideal for students in their first term of school to establish and consolidate basic number facts. This is for use by one teacher in one classroom. If you would like to share with your colleagues, PLEASE purchase a multiple license. Thank you :) Please download the preview or watch the video to view a sample of the included pages.

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.
