In PowerPoint (Windows) AND Keynote (Mac) format I am delighted to offer a unique and fully editable version of ‘countdown’ in PowerPoint format with theme music, timer, cards that flip etc. Just change the numbers to suit your students. This took a lot of time to make initially in Keynote (Mac) format and I have successfully converted it into PowerPoint. Great as a starter in Numeracy Lessons. Different formats added! 1st Feb 2017 due to comments, PowerPoint formats should be able to use and edit fully now, please email me on daveorritt@mac.com if you cannot access the effects, it may just need a setting changing on your PowerPoint program.

SALE! Until 25th October A visual lesson featuring LESSON PLAN, plenty of WORKSHEETS (the A, B, C is the best for this particular lesson) and VIDEO (made from a powerpoint I made) to demonstrate how to take away by adding on using a number line. I have also added some additional sheets that could be used as homeworks. Please leave a comment if you appreciate the resource or find it helpful.

An ICT policy editable for your school that I made as an Advanced Skills ICT Teacher.

PART ONE of TWO As this is the first time I have shared content in this format (Mac) this is what I use. Please note this is 15 YEARS worth of Keynotes made on the mac originally for years 3 and 4 although many have been used in older classes and are easily adaptable. INVALUABLE for anyone with a Mac that uses it for teaching as these are VERY hard to find. (Why I had to make them as I much prefer Keynote.) These took many many hours to make individually. Many incorporate videos and animations within them and some have been used to achieve outstanding observations. Thats why the file size is so big, For a MacBook user these are fantastic and many should work on iPad too with Keynote. (Although one or two of the animations may be different and I can't 100% promise all will be formatted perfectly from experience.) Keynotes year 3/4 - A Massive collection of all the presentations I have made ORIGINAL in Mac format. Most are self explanatory but have written a few notes of description for some them below to help. Will save Apple users absolutely tonnes of time as I myself use many of these when I go into schools. You really are getting a lot here believe me. (Some written on Keynote '09 so you may want to open on this to avoid conversion.) - Poetry Creating Images Keynote - Used for an outstanding observation 2 years ago, children went on to write their own beach poems based on the content shown. - Haunted house keynote - Fantastic for boys writing to get them enthralled. - Mummification Keynote - Includes video of the mummification process. - Parental Year 4, shows 'how we do things' in Maths. Includes an EXCELLENT countdown starter that can be used with the children also, (really really effective) but illustrates examples of how we teach in Mathematics at that age. Used in a Maths showcase evening at school. Please note these will NOT work on windows computers (PowerPoint) without conversion although an excellent site to convert these files is https://cloudconvert.com/key-to-ppt I have included this particular resource mainly for Apple users. Please VOTE on this resource if you find it useful

PowerPoints, Worksheets and lots lots more! I hope this helps someone out when teaching this fantastic topic! I have newly converted the Keynote I produced on mummification to PowerPoint format, this is especially good! I have also included my creative plans when this was the hub of our creative work one year.

A BUMPER pack to dip into for the teaching of settings around several genres for example a ‘spooky house’ that would be of interest to boys especially. Taught with year 3-4 classes but can be easily adapted and used with years 5/6. Included: Lesson Plans Display Material Examples of children’s work Prompt sheets Powerpoints Notebook File Unit of work Useful Connectives for writing
