Halloween Number Puzzles, Counting to 10

(0)
This Halloween themed activity is a great way for your students to work on their math, number, counting, fine motor and problem solving skills. As well as all these skills, this activity will provide your students with the opportunity to look at images of Halloween and use these as a talking point. The puzzles come in 3 different difficulty levels; • Level 1 - 0-3 • Level 2 - 0-5 • Level 3 - 0-10 There is a range of ways that these can be used in your classroom such as; • Print out the b/w puzzles, cut them up and hand them out to your students. Have your students put the puzzles together, sticking them onto a piece of paper/into their work book, then colour them in. • Print out the puzzles, cut them up and laminate them. Use them as a center activity where your students have to look at the numbers on the bottom of each puzzle piece, put them into numerical order to make the puzzle. • Print out two copies of each puzzle (one copy can be b/w), laminate one as a full puzzle (i recommend the b/w one) and then cut out the puzzle pieces on the other puzzle. Laminate the puzzle pieces. Have your students match the individual pieces onto the completed puzzle. This provides a lower ability option for students struggling. Instructions are also included on first pages of each PDF document. I would highly recommend laminating each of the individual task cards so that they will be stronger, therefore longer lasting. This is a great way to keep students motivated and engaged while working on their ten frame counting skills. Comes in both b/w and col option for your printing preference.

Who Froze the Elf? Christmas Crime Scene

(0)
This Christmas crime scene activity pack is a great addition to your Christmas - or Elf - themed topic. With this pack you will be able to create a crime scene where an elf has been frozen! Students have to investigate using the clues provided to find out who committed the crime out of 4 possible suspects. This crime scene is designed to be interactive, engaging and adapted to suit students ability levels. This crime scene includes the following activities; • Time/Clock Recognition Students need to look at the CCTV images and match the time (clocks) to when the elf was frozen to give you the time frame. The suspects are then asked where they were at that time. • Taste Something has been left behind for students to taste! (Cookies) Students have to taste the item, decide what it is and then match it to the suspect who likes to eat it. • Smell Something has been left behind for students to smell! (Milk) Students have to smell the item, decide what it is and then match it to the suspect who likes to smell this. • Addition/Subtraction Laminate the sums and freeze them into ice cubes. Students have to work out how to get the clue out of the ice (melting it, cracking through it etc). They then work out the sum and match it to the suspect who has the same number as the answer to the sum. • Clue Book Students put their clues into the clue book as they go along. This way they are able to keep track of all the clues they have found. This will help them when they need to make a decision on who they think froze the elf. • Wanted Poster Once students have decided who they think the criminal is - they need to make the wanted poster to capture them! Students can either draw and write the criminal’s face and name onto the wanted poster or use the pictures and names we have included to cut and stick onto the wanted poster instead. Your students will love taking part in this fun and interactive crime scene, especially during a busy time of year when it can be hard to keep them engaged. A teachers walkthrough is also included in the pack to help you put together the crime scene and use it to the best of its ability. I would also recommend trying out the crime scene before giving it to your students so that you are able to familiarize yourself with the way that it works. This comes in both spelling options i.e color/colour, favorite/favourite etc. Almost everything that you need to complete this crime scene is included in this pack. However, you will need access to cookies and milk for students to taste/smell.
