I'm a teacher at an International School in Asia and I really enjoy making all types of well-designed resources for my class. I hope that you may also find them useful and that your children will enjoy them too!

This display is ideal for projecting the denominations of British Pound. Underneath the labeled coins and notes is an enlarged table for typing in different amounts of pounds (with space for up to £999.99).
To achieve the lesson objective - make up given amounts, children will need either actual or fake money. Our school has a large set of fake currency which I divide up between small groups. Individuals can then easily select what they need to make up the given amount.
Projecting the chart on a white board also allows you to tally or cross-off coins as you work through examples on how to make up different amounts. You could also do the same on the document too as it’s fully editable.
To add difficulty to the LO, ask the children to make it in the easiest way possible or once they have made it up one way, challenge them to make it up another way.
This simple worksheet involves children colouring in the paths of both the odd and even numbers. There is more than one route to follow for each but also several dead ends, so it’s important children plan properly before committing to colouring the squares in.
It serves as a fun way to reinforce and check the children’s ability to understand odd and even numbers. It also allows chance to easily circulate as they colour to further check understanding.
This worksheet is for use towards the end of a maths unit where the children start to make their own word problems for others to solve. The worksheet is split into two sections.
The first part has a space for children to write their facts and question and another space for drawing a small illustration related to the problem.
The second has spaces for using a bar model or equivalent to help determine how to solve the problem and then spaces for the calculation and answer.
I use this setup to type up different examples of addition and subtraction problems to show on the projector.
It is fully editable as well, so could be easily adjusted for multiplication and division. There are spaces for place values up to 1000 as well as spaces for regrouping or carrying numbers on.
This introductory worksheet about 2D shapes, lines and curves, and types of circles, is split into three objectives and tasks. Here they are as presented in the document…
LO: I can identify lines and curves in different shapes and patterns.
Task: Sort out the Capital letters of the alphabet A-Z into the correct groups.
LO: Recall the names of different 2D shapes.
Task: Retrieve from your memory only, the names and spellings of as many 2D shapes as you can think of!
LO: I can identify the different types (fractions) of a circle.
Task: Use Google Image search to find real life examples of objects that are one of the following. Copy and paste them under the correct name. See if you can find three examples of each. One example of a semicircle might be half a slice of pizza.
This worksheet is designed to be used online as a Google Doc but could also be printed. I use it in Google Classroom and create a copy for each of the children to work on.
This subtracting fractions worksheet is designed to be used online as a Google Doc, however it could still be printed out and used that way.
It’s made up of 17 questions plus a bonus. Each question involves subtracting fractions of the same denominator. The calculations get progressively more difficult and the final few questions involve answers which require a written fraction name instead.
It’s great for use in Google Classroom where every child gets their own copy. You can then easily check their individual progress live and then check their results.
This adding fractions worksheet is designed to be used online as a Google Doc, however it could still be printed out and used that way.
It’s made up of 17 questions plus a bonus. Each question involves adding fractions of the same denominator. The final 6 questions involve either answers that are more than a whole and answers which require a written fraction name instead.

This worksheet is designed to be used as a Google Doc so children can complete it online, however, it could also be printed and used that way instead.
It’s made up of an example and 10 different clocks, for which the children have to tell the time as both numbers and words.
Before the questions are several pointers which will help with telling the time properly. This question sheet is a good follow up to my other worksheet on telling time to five minutes.

This worksheet is designed to be used as a Google Doc so children can complete it online, however, it could also be printed and used that way instead.
LO’s: I can tell the time before and after a given time. I can tell the differences in time.
It’s made up of two parts…
Part A involves two clocks (a mixture of digital and analogue). One is the start time and the second is the finish time. Children have to find out the difference in times. An example is given at the start.
Part B involves a series of word problems. Children have to find out how much time before or after a given event. The worksheet finishes with a riddle bonus question.

This colourful A3 board game is fully editable. You can change the contents of any of any square on the board. There are so many ways you an adapt this for different lessons. Here are a few examples…
a) Maths
Write calculations in each box for the children to solve
b) Reading
Write tricky phonics words or as I have done with this other uploads on here, write word endings and beginnings. You could also have the children use the word in context in a sentence or explain its definition etc.
c) Science
Write questions relating to your topic in the box, or add in question spaces where children have to pick up a card with a question on. You could even get the class to create their own question cards.
All you need for the game is a dice and between 2-5 players. Each of the ideas above follow the same style game play. That is, if you are able to solve the problems or read the words in the space you land on, then you are able to remain there. If not, then you go back to where you were before you rolled.
You can also get creative and add in your own special spaces such as miss a go or roll again. Or you can get really creative and add in special reasons. For example, you helped a friend in need, move forward four spaces, or you fell off your bike and broke your head, miss a go. etc.
This fully editable board game adds fun for children who are learning to read. For this package, I’ve split it into two games. The first is a set of CVCC words and the second is a set of CCVC words.
There are 21 spaces in which you can add any word you wish for children to practice reading. The board game is also A3 size so the words are easy to see.
The idea is that 2-4 children take turns rolling the dice. If they are able to read the word that they land on then they can remain there, if not then they move back to where they just were before they rolled.
This is one of my personal favourite resources, not just because both I and the children love it, but also because you can enter in any word set you like. I even play this with my son and it really encourages him to focus on pronouncing the words as perfectly as he possibly can.

This worksheet gives basic information about limericks - what is a limerick, how is it made, what patterns does it follow? Two examples are then provided. Here is one of them…
There once was a girl called Jane,
who thought she had a really big brain.
She thought she was cool,
standing in a puddle of drool,
but really, she was just insane.
The first task involves the children highlighting the rhyming words and counting the syllables for each line.
Following this, the second task is for the children to create their own limerick. Ideas for sentence starters are provided.
The final task is for the children to swap with their friends so they can read each other’s poems and give constructive feedback.
It’s also great to have children share them with the whole class. They generally enjoy writing them, especially their silly nature and I love reading them! So long as they are not anything about cats, hats and rats… that gets a bit tiresome.
This fun activity lets children explore that classic deserted island scenario. It presents pictures of 16 items from which the children have to choose three to take with them to be stranded with.
They must explain verbally or in writing why they have chosen these items. The children could even suggest why other items would not be worth having. It’s worth encouraging the children to think of alternate uses for the items they have chosen too.
This works both as an individual activity and as a group activity to promote effective communication between members.
This pack comprises of six short airport role-play conversations. We use it to add an element of drama and fun to our connected learning topic, Flying High.
Most of the role-plays are quite funny in some way but include common language to each situation. The number of children involved in each varies from 2-4 people.
Here are the titles for each of the role-plays to give you a better idea, but please see the preview for a glimpse of the content.
a) The Pre-Flight Safety Demonstration
b) The Crying Baby
c) The Sick Passengers
d) The Fast Take-Off
e) The Rough Landing
f) The Scared Passenger
I hope your children enjoyed performing these as much as ours do! The document is fully editable so it’s possible for you or even the children to change them.
This is a fully editable A3 board game template which comes in both colour and black and white and also with a set of different sized question cards.
Every part of the board game is editable. You can move parts where you like, type in the playing squares, adjust titles etc.
All the children need are some dice and counters (which could be anything from a block to a coin).
The question cards can be typed up by you or the children or you could print blank ones and they could write their own. The great thing about this game is it’s versatility. We use it to review anything from comprehension questions in literacy to word problems in maths. If a child lands on a question space, they select a question card and if they answer it correctly then they roll again.
Also included on the board are snakes (for going down) and ladders (for climbing up). I’ve also included a few other fun ideas like a hospital square and different scenarios for landing on a particular square.
Needless to say, the children love playing it and it’s also fun for them to edit it and create their own if there’s enough time.
This worksheet comprises of 26 sentences (A-Z) which require the children to change the tense of the given verb in brackets into the past tense form. Some questions contain two verbs to change and there are a mixture of regular and irregular verbs.
The document is fully editable so you can change names and sentences to better suit the needs of your class if you wish.
I designed this worksheet to review the basic methods of bar modeling and used blocks from the Super Mario games to add a little more interest for the children.
The worksheet is split into four parts. Each has a question, a bar model and a space for the children to do their working and answer underneath. All the questions are also Mario related and use relatively simple and round numbers.
The objective is to encourage children to use bar modeling so they can help visualise what is required in a word problem, ultimately to help them choose the correct operation and solve the problem.
Here are the four parts and the required operations for each…
a) Part-part whole (addition)
b) Comparison (subtraction)
c) Equal Parts of a whole (multiplication)
d) Equal Parts of a whole (division)
It’s worth following up each model with children drawing their own for another example question.
Please note that this worksheet is a fully editable document, so you can change any of the questions. And with some basic table editing skills, you can change the bar models by copying and pasting the different blocks where you need them.
