Making multiplication times tables fun. These timetables books are both fun to make and fun to use. They are a great way of helping students to learn their multiplication tables. I was trying to think of different ways of making practicing time tables more fun. This is a fun activity. I wanted it to be tricky enough that there was more than one set of different timestables to use. I decided that 4 different varients meant no child could simply learn the numbers off by heart - by time they have completed all 4 books for each multiplication timetable, they will be proficient in that book. You can start off with the easier multiplication tables such as the x2, x5 and x10 for the beginners, before moving onto the middle range books such as x3, x4, x6 and x8. Finally rounding off with the most challenging books. Perfect for Homeworks etc. I have now made it into an easy print books to make your life easier. Child make mini origami books, each with the times table in them and then the answers at the end, so they can be used for self checking. If you prefer no answers, it is a matter of moments to edit out the answers using a paint program. They can be used for testing or simple revision.

I love to teach KS2 English grammar, punctuation and spelling. I make it into a game. The students see the question and then answer them on a mini whiteboard. I sometimes put them into pairs or teams to discuss their ideas. Then I show them the answers. We discuss the different answers together. I hated having to have the answers and questions separately and so I have combined the different question and answer papers into a single presentation. This presentation also tells them what would have been acceptable or unacceptable answers. The tests are differentiated so there are Level 3-5 tests and Level 6 tests. The students should try to do them all, to both consolidate and extend their learning. These KS2 SPAG Revision test materials will make learning more fun and the students more motivated to achieve. You will notice in the sample 2016 tests, there is now a single test for all students, which explains why there is no separate tests for levels 3-5 and level 6.

Year 1 Block 2 Termly Maths Assessment: A Fun and Flexible YouTube PowerPoint Experience! Searching for an engaging end-of-term maths assessment can be a challenge, but it doesn’t have to be! Our Year 1 Block 2 Termly Maths Assessment is designed to be both enjoyable and less stressful for students. With this assessment, teachers have the flexibility to choose whether students answer questions as they go or receive all the answers at the end. This approach not only reduces anxiety but also promotes a positive learning environment. Additionally, this assessment serves as excellent revision material that can be completed in the classroom or at home, making it a versatile tool for reinforcing key concepts. As part of my initiative to enhance learning resources, I am converting all my PowerPoint presentations into engaging YouTube videos through the PowerPoint Combos initiative. This allows teachers to deliver lessons using either the PowerPoint format or the YouTube version, and easily share the YouTube lesson with students’ parents. This means the assessment can be revisited at home for additional practice and reinforcement. Make assessment time fun and effective with our Year 1 Block 2 Termly Maths Assessment and watch your students thrive!
