I use this with my Y5 GAT groups - useful for understanding non-decimal bases - and being grateful for maths as it is today! I have left these in Arial - I print them in a copperplate font I don't have a lesson plan to go with this written down - pm me if you would like one

Godd for maths/art groups. Use double page in middle of maths book for drawing. For younger groups, draw the first or even first 2 sqaures in. Whilst they can colour in the smaller squares, the larger square are best patterned or having pre-cut coloured squares glued on them.

Good for place value understanding and appreciation of modern place value consequent on zero I have no written lesson plan, but pm me if you want one or any more info

2 Chinese New Year Assembly plays

(4)
The first play is the traditional naming of the years. You could split the narrator's part, or roll Buddha/Jade Emperor into one person and/or ditch the cat. The 2nd play introduces Nian. We used a dad to play Nian, who does a lot of menacing and dancing about, but an extrovert Y5/6 could do it. This is not the version of the story in Wikipedia , but is the version on the People's Republic of China website.

A sequence of 2 to 4 lessons starting with the positive integers and working Socratically through to imaginary numbers and possibly quaternions. It doesn't cover anything much that isn&'t in the ordinary syllabus at some point, but does present the number plane as an integrated whole. Sorry - I uploaded this before I realised the sqrt 2 proof is only on the school computers - will add it next week.

should be self-explanetary. Sorry - I had some A4 and A3 masters marked into 1cm strips, but i can't find them. For the hearts, you can fold paper into 4 and cut away the corner to make a cross rather than use 2 separate strips
