Captivate Your Students with the Inspirational Story of Hanukkah Ignite your students’ curiosity and develop their cultural literacy with this engaging resource centered around the powerful story of Hanukkah. This ancient Jewish narrative recounts the Maccabees’ courageous rebellion and unwavering faith during the Greeks’ religious persecution in the 2nd century BCE. As the villainous Greek-Syrian ruler Antiochus IV outlawed Judaism and ordered worship of Greek gods, the Jewish priest Mattathias and his five sons took a stand. After Mattathias’s death, his son Judah led their small rebel army to numerous improbable victories over Antiochus’s vastly larger forces. They ultimately reclaimed the desecrated Temple in Jerusalem. When it came time to relight the Temple’s menorah, only one day’s supply of consecrated olive oil remained - yet it miraculously burned for eight nights until new sanctified oil could be prepared. This astounding miracle highlighting the triumph of faith over persecution is joyously celebrated each year during the eight nights of Hanukkah. Through this powerful narrative of Jewish resilience, your students will gain invaluable insights into the ancestral foundations that shaped Jewish spirituality, ethics, and beloved traditions like the festival of lights.

A PowerPoint which introduces the ‘Doubling-and-Halving Strategy for Multiplication’. This PowerPoint uses an array to show the multiplication strategy of doubling one factor and halving the other factor to help to work out some multiplication problems. Doubling and halving is therefore related to thinking that ‘restructures’ an array to make it more manageable to multiply (e.g. 3 × 18 = ___ can be rewritten as 6 × 9 = ___). Very visual resource which helps students see that the total number of circles in an array (the product) stays the same when an array is cut and rearranged. No text: so recommend that the teacher walks through the first couple of example slides and then students verbally explain the following examples to their peers. Order of animations: Tricky array and sum is shown. Confused smiley bounces in. (explain here that if you don’t know your 15 times table etc. this could be hard) Scissors appear and cut the array - array restructures into simpler array (double of one factor/half of the other) New corresponding sum appears - click & answer is shown Array restructures to first formation and tricky sum is shown again As the total number of circles has remained the same throughout the sequence the answer should be obvious :-) I use it alongside other strategies so that it is presented as an option for mental computation involving multiplication.

Homonyms, Homographs & Heteronyms PowerPoint & Crossword. Homograph PowerPoint with simple clues and clear (labeled for reuse) clip-art. Each slide is animated: 1st click written clues are presented, 2nd click clip-art is shown, 3rd click answer is revealed - I use it with mini-whiteboards in a quiz game format. 25 common homographs presented (fit, ring, saw, gum, letters, light, train, table, club, watch, calf, coach, jam, dear, wave, cross, bark, park, orange, bat, right, tear, bow, wind, polish) ( - please see a screen shot of 9 of the slides) Also comes with a crossword using 17 of the 25 homographs to use as a homework or reinforcement activity. Differentiated crossword - one with clues and word box of spellings, one with only clues. I use it with ESL grade 2-5 students in an after school club and with my grade 3 (8 & 9 year olds) when we study this in grammar, but would be enjoyed by grades 2,3,4 and 5)

Made for my grade 3 class who are just starting to formally learn their times-tables. Very visual resource using arrays with dots, hundred charts, step counting and various sum flashcards. PowerPoint activity/presentation progressing in this slide order: Counting in steps of two up to 120 from 0. Count to 24 in steps of 2 with array being built. 100 square count in steps of two with pattern being revealed (2 sec each step). 100 square count in steps of two with pattern being revealed (1 sec each step). Double the number with numbers in random order (doubling function in-out machine design). 2 times table with sum and array in order. 2 times table with sum and array turnaround in order. 2 times table with sum but no array 2 times table with sum and array out of order. Answer shown and student to give sum. Also included are the x0 and x1 timetables. Often overlooked when teaching multiplication, but essential to grasping a true understanding. First slide is ‘times zero’ times table and shows a fixed golden zero with sum twisting in and out. Emphasizing the rule that; “When you multiply a number by zero, the answer is always zero” Second slide is ‘times one’ times table and shows the multiplicand (the number being multiplied) emerging from itself and sliding over to the product (the answer) Emphasizing the rule that; “Any Number Times One is that Number / 1 x anything = itself”
