A super-fun game that your students will love! Particularly suitable for New Zealand and Australian classrooms that are looking for learning activities based around Anzac Day. You’re in a trench above Anzac Cove. You receive a coded message from your Commander. Decipher the code and then prepare for battle against a classmate … The game is based on the popular game of ‘Battleships’ but this game has an Anzac theme. Players give co-ordinates to destroy enemy targets in the area across from ‘No Man’s Land’. Vocabulary used in this game will prompt further research to develop a deeper understanding of the time soldiers spent in Gallipoli (eg, bivvy, jam tin bomb, stores, field gun, trench, etc). This resource contains 3 different levels of the code breaking task and the game templates. It will suit a range of abilities, allowing you to differentiate your student’s learning. I believe it suits students from approximately Year 4 upwards (age 8/9 yrs+). Included: ♦ Pre-game codebreaking task – decipher the message that is written in Morse Code (3 different levels). Optional task (it doesn't affect the game). ♦ Game instructions ♦ Game templates (3 different levels) ♦ Post-game activity – write a Morse code message back to your Commander informing him of the outcome of the battle. Math Learning Objective: Geometry (position and orientation): Communicate and interpret location using grid references. ********************************************************************** © Suzanne Welch Teaching Resources

A fun multiplication game that reinforces knowledge of the 1x1 to 9x9 facts. Included: ♦ 4 game boards (numbers are arranged differently on each board) ♦ Instructions ♦ Multiplication grid (to support lower ability students) Provided in colour and black/white. How to Play: Player A starts by placing a marker under (or on) two of the alien numbers at the bottom of the game board. Player A multiplies these two numbers together and covers that answer on the board with one of their counters. Player B moves one of the markers to a new number. Player B multiplies these two numbers together and covers that answer on the board with one of their counters. Play continues in this way, with players taking alternate turns and moving only one of the markers each time. If a player moves a marker to make a multiplication question where the answer is already covered, they lose their turn. The winner is the player who makes a row of 4 with their counters. The row may be horizontal, diagonal or vertical. Number of players: 2 Equipment: counters and markers (The markers are used to show which two 'alien' numbers are being multiplied together. You could use counters, paper clips, little sticks, etc.) ********************************************************************** © Suzanne Welch Teaching Resources

Resources for teaching family of facts in math lessons. Included: ♦ Addition/Subtraction – house and worksheet ♦ Multiplication/Division – house and worksheet ♦ Ice-cream craft and worksheet The Houses: The houses are provided in colour, grey, and black/white.

One with four houses and the other with 6 houses. Write 3 family numbers in the circles prior to photocopying. The Ice-cream: Create a 4-scoop ice-cream showing a family of facts. ********************************************************************** © Suzanne Welch Teaching Resources

A fun multiplication board game to reinforce knowledge of facts. Great as a math rotation activity, follow-up activity, early finisher task, etc. Included: ♦ 12 black/white game boards (x1 – x12) ♦ 12 colour game boards (x1 – x12) ♦ 2 bonus activity sheets – multiplication grids Refer to the images above to see examples. How to Play: A game for 2 players. Player A rolls the dice and multiplies the number with the game board number (whatever is written in the robot’s feet). Player A finds that number on the game board and covers it with one of their counters. Players can only cover one number each time. Player B then has a turn. The first player to get 4 of their counters in a row is the winner. The row may be vertical, horizontal or diagonal. Equipment Needed: ♦ one game board ♦ some counters (different colour to your opponent) ♦ one 10-sided dice (numbered 1-10) If you don’t have any 10-sided dice: If you don’t have any 10-sided dice, you can write 1-10 on some counters/card and place them in a container. Simply ‘pull a number out of the hat’ when it is your turn. Alternatively, you could use the Ace-10 in a pack of playing cards. Give them a good shuffle and turn one card over when it is your turn. ********************************************************************** © Suzanne Welch Teaching Resources

A set of alphabet (a-z) and number (0-100) flies for your classroom. Use them in any way you wish. Suggestions for use include: ♦ Play ‘Swat the fly!’ - Put the flies on the floor, on a pin board, or hang them. Say a letter/number. Your students find the fly and swat it. (You will need to provide the fly swatter). This is great for letter/number recognition. ♦ Match the lower case letter with the capital letter. ♦ Put the flies in order. ♦ Find all of the odd/even flies, multiples of 3, numerals that add to 10, etc. ♦ Group all of the same colour flies together (colour recognition). ♦ Make a word using the alphabet flies. ♦ Make a math sum using the number flies (eg 5+2=7) Included: ♦ Lower case letters– coloured ♦ Lower case letters – black/white ♦ Capital letters – coloured ♦ Capital letters – black/white ♦ Numbers 0-100 – coloured ♦ Numbers 0-100 – black/white 9 flies on each A4 size page. Dotted cutting lines between the flies. The alphabet flies are a solid colour. There are 9 different colours. The number flies have a white stripe where the number is placed. The flies are coloured in groups of 10 (eg 0-9, 10-19, 20-29, 30-39 … 100) The font used is ‘NZ Basic Script’. The letter/number shapes are the same as those recommended in the NZ Ministry of Education Handbook – ‘Teaching Handwriting’. ********************************************************************** © Suzanne Welch Teaching Resources
