Four bright , colourful presentations that deal with Position and Movement: a) Early Position ( Revision or Introduction) b) Compass and Rotation c) Position and Direction d) Following Directions Includes active tasks that promote understanding , partner games and revision of positional words.

There are 4 presentations in total and each of them provides a simple introduction to data handling for young learners. They present information in: block graph form tally chart form pictogram form They are ideal lesson starters as they are clear and concise. They encourage the learners to actively record answers on mini whiteboards. Answers to each slide question follows on to provide immediate correction as the learners show their whiteboard answers. This ensures whole class/group engagement in the task, as well as providing immediate teacher assessment. It is easier to see who is managing the task well and those who are struggling to interpret the charts etc. The emphasis is on interpreting simple data. There is added challenge when children are asked to analyse and identify the most popular or least popular item as well as comparing two different items. These presentations offer the children some raw data that they haven’t collected themselves. This can be useful: the teacher knows that everyone has the same information without worrying about the accuracy of recording methods. So, the children can focus on analysis rather than collection at this stage. I have found this approach an ideal introduction. Children are more confident when they are asked to interpret data more independently. I have uploaded several jpg files so teachers can peruse the resources more comprehensively. I hope that your children enjoy these active tasks. I would be delighted if feedback was provided.

A comprehensive maths pack which provides practice, consolidation and reinforcement of number bonds within 100. The emphasis on addition and subtraction provides many different opportunities to calculate within 100 . The word problems ensure that the children can use and apply addition and subtraction rules within real life situations. I have differentiated many of the resources to 3 levels to accommodate a range of learners within a class. The pack consists of: Addition within 100 calculation (differentiated) Subtraction within 100 calculation ( differentiated) Word Problems ( Using and Applying Mathematical Knowledge) Ten a Day ( A set of resources to provide more practice - a mixture of calculation and problem solving) Number Square Challenges -fun activities which provide reinforcement Can be used in for differentiated groups, individually or as whiteboard activities.
