The KS1 Guided Reading Thinking Hats worksheets provide students a chance to explore different approaches to thinking and reading a book. When students use Thinking Hats with their guided reading book, they can view the same book from 6 different angles. The worksheets are non-book specific and can be used with a wide range of different books from any levelled or unlevelled reading scheme. These worksheets are particularly useful when a student has finished a book before they move onto a new book. It is a great way of checking their understanding and making sure they have got as much as they can from every book they read. I have been teaching as a primary school teacher for over 14 years. These worksheets can be used both in the classrooms and as homework sheets. The students will enjoy the wide range of activities on offer and be motivated to read more books and share their ideas with others.

I have created a PowerPoint presentation combining Paper 1 and the mark scheme so you can ask a question, and immediately see the answer and the explanation. This is great for a wide range of different circumstances. If the students have completed the test this lets the teacher review the paper question by question. It also a great what of revising grammar at the whole class level. Each student shows the answer on whiteboard and then immediately check their answers. A variety of questions has been included in this sample test to demonstrate the formats and curriculum content that pupils may encounter in a live test. A commentary is provided in the mark scheme that accompanies each question. This sample test mark scheme is provided to give teachers an indication of how the tests will be marked. The mark schemes for the sample tests have been subject to a shorter process than the full, rigorous development process that is used for live mark schemes. The sample test and mark schemes have been reviewed by teachers and other expert reviewers.

I have found a way of making Maths revision a lot more fun. I have combined the official question papers and the official marking schemes into a single document.

As this is a whole class teaching activity, students can work in pairs or small teams and discuss their ideas and strategies together. This really reduces the level of stress as children are able to build on each others skills. This teaching resource could be used in the classroom or at home. This teaching resource is a lot of fun and will make a difference to your students attitudes to maths. Keep Maths Fun! Tell me what you think of this teaching resource in the comments box below!

All these images were in the public domain. In the majority of the cases however, it took both a long time to find, then even longer to use editing software to sharpen and improve the images. I would love to know what people think of them.
