Hi, This resource focuses on multiplication, area and perimeter and allows the children to use reasoning and problem solving skills to solve two investigations. The investigations focus on the 9 and 8 times tables. Investigation 1: Santa wants a new floor design for his grotto 10m x 10m and a new floor design for his ballroom 20 m x 20 m (for higher attainers) Investigation 2: Santa would like to know how many presents fit in each room. Children have to work together to solve. There is a short task to solve the presents area and perimeter which involves the 9 and 8 x tables. Feel free to edit this resource to suit the needs of your class. For example, you could change the multiplication, area size to 5 x 5 or change the grotto to the sleigh. Also you could change the actual measurement to cm and get children to draw in books. I am going to get children to cut areas from spare grids and place on until they have a final version. I’m also going to set my highers off with the challenge of only using calculations to solve first. Hope your class enjoy it and have an awesome Christmas!

This resource allows you to take your class through a step by step tasks that will see all your pupils achieving a fabulous piece of writing that is modeled but allows all your class to come up with differing pieces of writing. The slides allow discussion and partner work. The rainbow strips can be cut up and placed on tables to allow the children to chose their own structure of their writing. My class created some unbelievable pieces of writing using this scaffolded approach and I really hope that your class achieve the same result. Many thanks

**The aim is to improve pupils scores over the year and parents/teachers are encouraged to either record time or score to see if the child can better themselves each time. I also use these in class as revision aids or for quick games like make a column or row v a partner. Recently, I’ve started quizzing my class at the end of the week on the colour that they are on in the style of a Maths Bee! A bit like a spelling bee but obviously with Maths facts! The children love it!** I also use these as homework activities every week! That means there are 23 weeks worth of Mental Maths Homework with this resources This is set 3 and covers curriculum areas in Years 3 and 4 Included in this resource is set 3 of challenges that I send home to parents to help increase my pupil’s mental maths abilities and readiness for any impending Multiplication test at the end of Year 4! The pdf is a thorough guide on how to use and gives yourself and the parents suggestions on how to use and adaptations to try at home. There are 23 challenges with 13-15 questions for each challenge. Each challenge/colour set is broken down into 3 abilities. 1 star 2 stars and 3 stars. I really hope that these help support and further your class. Any feedback would be welcome as I’m currently trying to create other sets for Reception to Year 2. Many thanks

These Sight Word Fluency Sentence flash cards are a FAB way for your pupils to become confident and fluent readers! Learning to read and spell the common exception words can be a tricky task for most Year 2 children. I send this resource to parents on a key ring for children to learn at home. I also use them in school during Guided Reading sessions and on my IWB to display to the whole class. There are 64 flash cards in total. I hope you find this resource useful. Attached is an editable version to use within your own class and not for re-sale. Many thanks

This resource includes one game board. It is ideal for revision of angles and covering such vocab as acute, obtuse, reflex and right angles etc… I have used this as a 1:2:1 resource and in small groups to help recap or pre teach learning. I hope you find this useful. Thanks

This resource includes 10 questions, some open ended with low floor high ceiling questions. You might just want to use one or two of the questions as a main and make them practical. The IWB presentation includes some of the types of q's from worksheet. They have a mastery feel and allow the children to use their reasoning skills. The IWB includes some ordering activities, sorting and array making activities. I hope you and your children find this resource useful. Many thanks

This resource includes an IWB presentation and a word document with Christmas themed multiplication problems and puzzles. Add an element of festive fun to your Maths lessons whilst still engaging the children and ensuring that your class have opportunities to tackle mastery style questions. There are 20 qs in total. Feel free to change the problems to suit the needs of your class. I hope these are useful. Many thanks.

Attached are 6 differentiated strips of sometimes, always and never multiplication and division questions. There are 3 division and 3 multiplication. Each one is editable. I have used them to show reasoning skills and show greater depth. I hope your class enjoy using them as much as mine have. Many thanks

Hi, This resource is great for whole lessons. You can model writing a sustained piece and structure how to add depth and creativity to a paragraph/short/long piece of writing. I’ve played around with how I use this presentation, here are some suggestions, and if you find better ways then please share your good practice. 1. Print slides and allow children to use as prompts for writing about a stimulus. 2. Show children stimulus and then do some talk for writing, than ask them to write sentence/paragraph 1 and then share with class. Repeat process for all 6 sentence types. 3. Print the slides and cut the strips up. Allow children to mix and match to create different structures. I really hope that this resource is useful. Many thanks

Hi, This resource includes 1 Interactive Whiteboard presentation and a word document which includes WILF and challenge labels. I've made the sentences Christmas themed and I hope you and your class find them useful. I've also included some other Maths multiplication lesson presentations (with scribbles!) just because it's Christmas. Many thanks

Hi, thanks for viewing these resources. Here are two presentations using concrete and abstract ques for you to demonstrate subtraction/addition or to allow the children to physically make amounts on board. The worksheet consists of over 15 greater depth q's and focus on extending your higher ability. Feel free to adapt these resources to suit the needs of your class. Many thanks and I hope they are useful.

Hi, This Interactive white board activity allows your children to spot the odd sounding word out and play ‘Into the black hole’…a game that sees the child dragging the pseudonym (alien word) into the black hole and into oblivion. The real words stay in front of the black hole and the alien disappear behind the center of the hole. The game is accompanied by a worksheet that can be used in conjunction with the IWB or without. The resource is editable so feel free to tinker to suit the sound and needs of your class. In most slides you can edit the words. I hope that this resource helps you and your children continue to love reading and enjoy their Phonics teaching.

This game is loved by my mixed R/1 class. This download includes 5 PDF documents with 4 pages (20 boards in all) and a smartboard version of all hard copies for interactive whiteboard. Each split digraph a_e , e_e, i_e , o_e and u_e have been split into three levels of difficulty and the middle ability has a copy with the sounds highlighted to further differentiate. The pupils simply roll die and then move car and say word they land on. These sounds are ideal to cover if you are working on phase 5 or set 3 RWI phoncis schemes. This can be used as a whole class activity / starter or with 1:1/group interventions. The interactive Smartboard game uses a die that only goes up to 3. This makes it a snappy but not too long a game. Children could play best out of three or you could use the game boards to set out a mini competition/tournament around the classroom. It’s also great wen doing transport as a theme and to check and stretch learning. I’ve included the word documents so that you can edit and create your own words. Great revision activity for the upcoming phonics screening. No real preparation needed. Simply print and use. You only need toy cars or a playing piece and a die. I really hope you and your class enjoy this as much as my class do. Please leave feedback if possible :) Thanks

This resource includes an Interactive **White board & powerpoint presentation **that has a random pseudonym (alien words) generator for each set of bingo games. 39 boards in total Set 1 - 15 game boards Set 2 - 15 game boards set 3 - 9 game boards Each set covers a mixed range of phases to allow for your class to revise for the Phonics Screening Check. Bingo is perfect for revising all the sounds and in a fun way. You can use these with your class, small groups or 1:1. I hope that you and your class find this resource useful. Many thanks!

This game was loved by my mixed R/1 class so much that I created a 4 player A3 sheet version. It promotes reading and sharing. Included is a 2 player and 4 player version. This download includes 5 PDF documents with 4 game boards (20 boards in all). Each split digraph a_e , e_e, i_e , o_e and u_e have been split into three levels of difficulty and the middle ability has a copy with the sounds highlighted to further differentiate. Boards contain a mixture of nonsense/alien words and real. The pupils simply roll die and then move car and say word they land on. They don’t move if they can’ read the nonsense word. The other pupils really enjoy being the ref and check their friends learning. To make it a longer game use a die just up to 3. This can be used as a whole class activity / starter or with 1:1/group interventions. You could simply use this to time your children on how fast they can read the words. To extend game just overlap the game boards and make the track longer. Children could play best out of three or you could use the game boards to set out a mini competition/tournament around the classroom. It’s also great when doing transport as a theme and to check and stretch learning. I’ve included the word documents so that you can edit and create your own words. Great revision activity for the new Year 1 phonics screening check. No real preparation needed. Simply print and use. You only need toy cars or a playing piece and a die. I really hope you and your class enjoy this as much as my class do. Please leave feedback if possible :) Thanks
