Comparing and Ordering Fractions [Designed for Online]

Comparing and Ordering Fractions [Designed for Online]

(0)
This worksheet could be printed out, but was designed to be completed by children online in Google Docs. It’s made up of 4 questions, a bonus and an extension task. Each question involves a table shape with different numbers of cells shaded different colours. Children have to identify the fraction of each of the colours shaded. It builds in difficulty up to where the children then have to place the fractions in order of size. The bonus question involves ordering fractions with different denominators. It’s great for use in Google Classroom where every child gets their own copy. You can then easily check their individual progress live and then check their results.

Telling the Time - AM or PM? [Designed for Online]

(0)
This worksheet is designed to be used as a Google Doc so children can complete it online, however, it could also be printed and used that way instead. It’s made up of an example and 10 different scenarios, for which the children have to say what time of day it is and whether the time is am or pm. Before the questions are several pointers which will help with answering the questions. It’s great for use in Google Classroom where every child gets their own copy. You can then easily check their individual progress live and then check their results.

This is a review for a maths unit on volume for LKS2. Four teams race to solve word problems involving volume so that they can open the locks on the mystery box. See the Code Breaker Template here for more details on what you need and how to setup this very popular activity.
Code Breaker (Break Out Style Activity) Blank Template

Code Breaker (Break Out Style Activity) Blank Template

(0)
This is a fully editable template for a break out style activity that I call Code Breaker. Pre-requisites: You will need at least 1 numerical combination lock and one regular lock (the master lock) and a box or even multiple boxes that you can use these locks on. I made my own ‘Mystery Box’ which has 4 latches for 4 numerical locks. Then the whole thing is wrapped up with a chain and locked with the master lock - a key padlock. I mostly use it for reviews in maths but it could be adapted for other subjects. There are so many possibilities with this. It does take a little time to setup but the children go wild for it every time! The Setup: a) Write questions which have a numerical answer. b) Decide on which numbers will be part of the code for that numerical lock. For example, add all the answers together and the last three digits of that result are the code. (This is for a three digit numerical lock). c) Change the code on the numbered lock to match. d) Write a short phrase for the master lock using numbers. Usage: a) Fill the box with random treasures. I usually put in some cool erasers and other stationery as well as several packs of crisps or sweets and a whole bunch of fake money. b) Split the class into teams and provide each with a sheet for a lock. Start the timer. c) Children then solve the code and then and open their particular lock. d) Those that solve their lock first can start working on the master lock phrase. After telling you the correct phrase, you can provide the key. *Sometimes I don’t let them get the master lock sheet until after all the other numerical locks have been opened. * Notes: The master lock page has a large image of a lock on it which obscures parts of the code, thus making it a bit more difficult. Also, each letter has four potential numbers to choose from which also adds to the difficulty in cracking a code. You can also make cracking the codes for the numerical locks more difficult by adding more operations on the end. For example, you could use an equation for the letters of each question and then depending on the result you could say that the code is only made up of odd numbers. You can also make questions which don’t have numerical answers by having a simple text to number cypher. The most basic would be to correlate the letters of the alphabet to the number in which they appear. For example, A=1, B=2 etc. If the answer is say, Holland, you could write a short note saying second letter so the children know what to look for and convert into a number. *I hope my explanations are clear, but if not, please feel free to message me or comment. It’s very worthwhile setting this up and once you have the templates filled in, you can reuse them each year as I do. *

This worksheet comprises a table of the seven nutrients with columns for their uses and example sources. Each section of the table has blanks for the children to fill in. The words for the blanks are provided in the table at the beginning. Each nutrient also has a few missing letters to fill in. I use this worksheet to reinforce the names, uses and sources of each of the seven nutrients needed in a healthy balanced diet. There are also posters with information on the classroom walls which they can refer to if they need. The document is fully editable so you can differentiate or make any other changes where you please.

An Introduction to Coding - Coding a Route

An Introduction to Coding - Coding a Route

(0)
A great way to introduce the basics of coding in the classroom - no computers necessary. The worksheet is made up of an example code that creates a route from the bottom to the top of a grid. There are then 3 further tasks for the children to complete which involve writing the code for the route as well as reading code and colouring the corresponding route. Extra idea: If you have tiled floors in your classroom or some accessible area of the school, then you can introduce the same concept using children as the players that move along the route. To add extra interest you could blindfold the player!
Electrical Conduction Experiment Write-up Sheet

Electrical Conduction Experiment Write-up Sheet

(0)
This worksheet is a full scientific write-up of a conduction experiment which tests the electrical conduction of different classroom materials. Each part of the scientific method is explained and some parts are partially complete so the children have to fill in the rest. To complete the experiment and write-up, they will need a simple circuit - battery, wires and some sort of small appliance such as a bulb, buzzer or motor. Encourage some creative material choices as they perform the experiment and make sure they write down what material it is made from, for example a metal ruler. Water and water with salt dissolved in it are both interesting substances to hypothesise about and test for conductivity. *The files included in this download are a fully editable DOC and a PDF version of the same. *

Mummify an Apple Experiment

(0)
A full work-through for an experiment on mummifying an apple. Includes the full scientific method from hypothesis through to conclusion. Great to get some science into a topic about Ancient Egypt. I usually begin the experiment so that a month or so later, it coincides with a look at the mummification process. We also create an Adobe Spark video to explain the way the Egyptians made their mummies. Extra discussion prompts: What foods to we preserve? How and why do we preserve them? How is this similar to the process of mummification?
