I created this 2 Dice Math Game as I needed to play a game with 2 dice with my students. The video is 10 minutes long so you will hopefully not need to restart it to carry on the game.
The dice could also be used for adding numbers together, multiplying them or generating 2 digit numbers for use in the class room. I hope you enjoy playing the 2 Dice Math Game as much as my class does.
I designed this Math Class Music video so the children just see dice being thrown again and again for 30 minutes. It is something you could put on your whiteboard while children are working in their books. It is relaxing to watch and of course, if a parent or another teacher comes in, they will dice and numbers and be convinced you have got the right math working atmosphere. Try Math Class Music and see if it makes a difference in your class. Do this while children colour something related to maths.
I am converting all my highly popular teaching powerpoints into YouTube videos to help teachers use them more effectively in the classroom. If you love them, please leave me a positive comment below!

4 Dice Math Game was designed for teachers who need to use 4 dice in the classroom for a number of different reasons. They might need to generate 4 digit numbers, the dice could be used to make 2 x 2-digit numbers for math class.
I made a full 10 minutes of dice shaking so teachers could start anywhere in the video to get completely random shakes every time. This is also an excellent resource for students to use to work out the probability of different numbers coming up.
These tests are set to change every 5 seconds, letting you test either individual children or a whole class at once. You might like to also look at my matching mini origami books which go with this series (https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/mini-book-x2-to-x12-multiplication-times-table-tests-4-per-table-11198350) which are designed to make learning time tables more fun.
There are 4 tests per times table, so the children do not know what test you will give them. They are written in PowerPoint so you can easily edit them or change the speed of the tests.
If you are learning Dutch and you are looking for a way of translating from English into Dutch, then this is a great start. This resource would still need a dutch teacher as everything is in English. You look at the pictures and try to name things in Dutch.
Here are lots of different mental maths resources, including lots of different multiplication and division tests you can use through the year. They are designed that you can repeat a times table test without needing to repeat the same set of numbers each time.
Super Maths Bundle is a great set of lessons for any teacher!
World Maths Day Super Bundle has 20 different sets of teaching resources to use across KS1 and KS2. There are lots of different lessons, tests and teaching ideas to try.
There is a 68% reduction in price compared to buy all these resources individually.
Sample materials which combine the test papers and mark scheme to help teachers prepare for the 2016 tests. The idea being a student can answer one question and then together the class checks the answers. The original test papers can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/2016-key-stage-2-mathematics-sample-test-materials-mark-schemes-and-test-administration-instructions. This is a great way of reviewing the maths tests as a whole class either as a way of revising after doing the sample tests or simple working through each question as a class.
I have developed a set of weekly Mental Maths for Year 1 children for teachers who want to include Minecraft in the classroom.
I wanted to develop resources where a teacher can teach with Minecraft in a classroom with a single computer and a projector.
I need to mention that Minecraft was created by Mojang AB. and I am not endorsed, associated or affiliated with Mojang AB in any way.
I like to ask the class a question, give the class a certain amount of time to solve the question and then show me the answer on their mini whiteboards. I have taken the KS2 SATs numeracy question papers for the 2015 test and combined the question and answer booklets into a single presentation. This is a great way of teaching as there is an instant feedback and explanation as to how to solve each problem. This helps to challenge and consolidate the classes learning.
This teaching resource could be used for whole class teaching and checking, or at home as a one to one resource with a tutor. These teaching resources make maths less stressful and so the students are more motivated to succeed!
I have created resources for levels 3-5 and also separate resources for Level 6 students. All the students should attempt all the papers to both consolidate and strengthen their basic learning and also extend their skills to a higher level.
I have tried to make learning fun. My powerpoints combine the original question papers with the original marking scheme. This means that after each question, immediately comes the answers. My idea is that a teacher shows the question, lets the class answer it using mini whiteboards. Then the students can explain their different strategies and see what would have gained marks and how to improve their work.
This pack contains both Level 3 to Level 5 material and also Level 6 tests. Every child should try every test. This helps to extend and challenge the main group, while consolidating the learning of the more advanced children. Even more effective teaching learning is to pair the advanced and less advanced - the effort of teaching the less able child actually improves the understanding and verbal explanation of maths.
This teaching pack could be used in the classroom for whole class teaching, small group teaching or at home with a tutor.
