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”

Input-Output Tables to help relate multiplication and division. PowerPoint focuses on building a connection between multiplication and division operations using an active model to reinforce the connection between the two operations. Visual of the relationship between division and multiplication using input and output tables to show that division is sharing and multiplication is combining. The PowerPoint is designed to encourage students to combine equal groups of clipart images to make a total (multiplication), as well as share a collection to form equal groups (division). The PowerPoint uses a variety of public domain clipart images to act out a multiplication or division problems to encourage students to determine the total and reverse the action to determine the quotient and vice versa. Your students can make up little stories to help them understand each operation. x3/÷3 & x4/÷4 Facts used (28 slides). Includes differentiated worksheets for 3’s and 4’s facts

Gold, silver and bronze certificates for students who have learnt their multiplication tables to different levels. Also includes the reverse side showing test results (you just need to delete ticks corresponding to results to match the front side) Comes with a checklist / test sheet. Levels are; BRONZE For being able to say a complete multiplication table in order. e.g. "One times two is two. Two times two is four etc." SILVER For being able to give the product of the numbers multiplied together, out of order. e.g. Q: “What is six x two?", "What is twelve x two?" etc. GOLD For giving facts when presented with the product only e.g. “24?” “12 x 2” Please rate and comment if you find them useful.

Beginner division speed math worksheets introducing/reinforcing division as being the inverse of multiplication - "Think multiplication" (to do division) Files - 'speed division inverse of multiplication_worksheet1' & 2 present multiplication turnaround facts followed by matching inverse division facts in groups of 4. e.g. 5 x 2 = 2 x 5 = 10 ÷ 2 = 10 ÷ 5 = File - 'speed division inverse of multiplication_using multi to divide_missing multiplier2_4_6_8_9' Present only one multiplication followed it's inverse division, in columns of facts for 2, 4, 6, 8, and 9 times tables: e.g. 2s Facts 2 x ___ = 18 18 ÷ 2 = 2 x ___ = 14 14 ÷ 2 = Other worksheet presents mixed problems with the multiplication having the missing multiplier e.g 2 x ___ = 18 18 ÷ 2 = Students are therefore encouraged to 'think multiplication' when doing division.

Visual introduction to square number patterns . Useful as a visual introduction to exploring square numbers and/or as a lesson starter. A square is slowly built by adding the next odd number of squares to the first to make a bigger square (number). 3 animated slides (don't bore your students too much, just use 1 a lesson) *Slide 1 uses a growing pattern of odd numbers in an addition sentence (underneath the square) to create square numbers. *Slide 2 uses the above plus the matching multiplication sentence. *Slide 3 uses the visual and only the multiplication sentence. I like to show slide 1 with just the addition sentence first off and impress my students with my quick fire maths skills ;-) "1+3+5+7+11+13+15+17+19+21+23 = 135". The following day I'll teach them the trick of multiplication. A few of my higher ability will be able to answer the addition sentences on their own at the end of a lesson. You'll need a bit of patience as the squares reveal themselves. Hope students around the world enjoy it (?) and that it makes multiplication that little more understandable.

Simple against the clock sorting game for students to practice times tables. Print onto card and get students to cut them out. To play the game: 1) Turn cards upside down and mix them around 2) Begin turning them over and sorting them into the correct order when the stopwatch starts. 3) Record your time for each day of the week. 4) Keep cards in an envelope ready to play the following day. I print one set for each pair of students in my class and they play as a teams against the other students in the class. (cooperative, social constructivist learning etc.) But can also be used as an individual fast finisher game. Provided are cards for the 4 times table, as that is what my class are learning this week, but very easy to edit for any times table. Provided three versions: one with the 'x symbol, multiplicand. & = symbol' on one card (least number of pieces) [this version also includes 4 wrong answers to make it a little more difficult] , one with 2 digit product on one card (harder), and one with each digit on separate cards (hardest, and also easiest for them to lose cards of ;-))

Posters for students to set class/school goals, with a space below each for them to list the steps they will need to take to achieve their goals. 4 versions: 3 pdf files with sassoon font: one with lines, one with numbers, and one with numbers and only 2 callout bubbles. 1 word doc with comic sans. I will edit the documents and replace 'my' with the name of the student and print one off for each child in my class. Plus one for myself, so that I can set some personal (teaching) goals for myself. I will also print out a large 'to achieve by xx/xx/xxxx' so that the goals are time sensitive and display this alongside the student's posters. Also included some display headings, quotes, and stars to make a classroom display. (star clipart is 'for reuse from clipartpanda.com)

Most common suffix (-ful, -est, -ing, -less, -ly, -er) and prefix (re-, un-, dis-, mis-, pre-) investigation worksheets. Each suffix and prefix meaning is given, plus an example. Can be differentiated in numerous ways: 1) Students think of their own example of words with common prefixes and suffixes. [page 1 & page 2] 2) Students can sort the provided examples. [page 3] and add some of their own 3) Students can decide which prefix or suffix works with the given base words and then add them to the table in the appropriate place. [page 4] (answers will vary) You may choose to do just suffixes or prefixes in one lesson or print back to back and do it all at once. I always like to get students to work in pairs and help each other complete worksheets and also add other examples. Uploaded a PDF in a Sasson Font & an editable word doc. in comic sans. Hope students around the world enjoy them. Please rate and comment, all my resources are shared freely.

A fun introductory presentation activity about abbreviations. Students can use mini-whiteboards (or scrap paper to make it into a quiz game) - they have to work out the common abbreviations of words or phrases (many they will know already, others they may have to work out) Also thrown in a few challenge questions (How many metres in 1km? etc.) Comes with an accompanying worksheet: Full words or phrases at the bottom of the page have to be used to match the abbreviations at the top (and/or vice versa)

PowerPoint with 12 different animal skulls: students to decide if the animal was a herbivore, carnivore or omnivore by looking closely at the animals teeth. Includes lesson objectives *To know the names and jobs of each of the teeth. *To know why we need teeth. *To understand what a herbivore, carnivore and omnivore are and how this effects the shape of teeth. with some small group work activities. Exciting introductory activity. Please rate and comment if you use it. Enjoy!

Nutritional information on various cereal packets. Four different brands of breakfast cereal (1 per A4 page: print back:back and give partners different worksheets), students have to answer (with reference to packaging): 1)Name of product: 2)Weight of product: 3)Main Ingredient: 4) 2nd biggest ingredient (if this is sugar it is an unhealthy choice) 5)Serving Size: 6)How many grams of sugar in one serving? 7)Which of the options is the healthier choice and why?

Four A4 pages to use on a display alongside student's own recount examples. *Title *Explanation *Features of a recount (title, past tense, introductory paragraph [who, what, when, where & why], main body in order, time connectives, concluding sentence) *Sequential words brainstorm, Includes an editable Microsoft Publisher file and a PDF file.

More or Less Homework?? Discussion Activity Designed to allow me to evaluate the group work skills of a group of four grade 3 students and to see if they are demonstrating 'cooperative learning behaviours'. I hope that it has been designed to encourage the exchange of ideas (exploratory and cumulative talk) and not just work out the logistics of completion (presentational and or argumentative talk). [However, it will require explaining and modelling] It is, (I think) a 'meaningful open-ended task' and has been worded so that students can interpret each reason as a pro or a con(:so that they can 'create their own meaning') Furthermore, it is difficult enough for there to be a potential of failure if they don't work collaboratively. Based on research articles and designed specifically for grade 3 international (inc. some high level ESL) students to complete in 20-25 minutes.

next, so, because, but, until, before, if, then, until, also, instead of, meanwhile. Use conjunctions two join to short sentences together. 6 examples with multiple choices of conjunctions. Followed by a clear example of using the chosen conjunction to make one longer sentence. After this students are asked if the sentence makes sense, finally the Power Point rewrites the new, longer sentence to reinforce the change from 2 short sentences into 1 longer sentence.

Little test of key number line skills aimed at year 2 or 3. Question 1: Identify numbers on a 700 - 800 number line Question 2: Using relative position to locate numbers on a number line Question 3: Working with relative position to find nearest 100 Question 4: Comparing and ordering three-digit numbers. I will back to back print it on a three digit number ordering worksheet or a less than greater than worksheet.

54 A4 thought provoking statements to be used as a thought for the day. I use them at the beginning of the day with a grade 3 class, but have also used them with a grade 1 class. Get a student to select one, pop it in a A4 card case display at the side of the white board - then as a class discuss what it means and how & why they should follow the advice. Uploaded a Word doc if you want or need to edit it, plus a PDF in case anyone has any font issues. "By sharing and helping others I get more done."

Blank 0-20 numberlines (with equal lines increasing by 1s) & 0-100 numberlines (with increases by fives and tens) And one A4 page of 100 numberlines, with increases by 1s (small gray lines) and long black line showing steps of 10. Use them how you wish...start at 0, start at 300, start at 900. For students to fill in the numbers under or above the dashes. I will print onto card and laminate, or stick on top of mini whiteboards and call out numbers for students to locate the number on the numberlines.

Panicking? I have been. This resource has 2 simple first day activities. One worksheet is a 'find someone who' double sided questionnaire...students can circulate around the room and try to find a classmate who has or can x,y,z and write the name in the box. (you may need to edit some of the questions for your school and grade) Other worksheet (Getting to know you)I may put on the tables when students arrive and they can fill in the answers about themselves and their interests, strengths and weaknesses. Hope they help new classes.

Sentences need to make sense. The order of the words in a sentence can change the meaning of the sentence. Students read the two sentences and choose the one that makes the most sense. e.g. Ben ate a hotdog. A hotdog ate Ben. EAL or ESL homework activity.

Homophones are words that sound the same but are spelt differently and have different meanings. e.g. to, too and two Students have to circle the correct word (homophone) for each sentence. Homework worksheet.
