Worksheet I made for a bit of fun numeracy at Christmas time. Originally used with a year 3 class. Each letter of the alphabet has a value and you have to calculate the value of words.

Massive update to my highly popular resource… Found these really hard to find so made my own resources up. I am unsure why they are so scarce as they often come up in SAT tests etc. As I like to call them 'missing box sums’ I have included differentiated worksheets and a smart notebook file to accompany the lesson worksheets. Great for years 3/4 possibly lower ability year 5. UPDATE: Feb 2018: due to the popularity of the previous version of this resource I have added a additional content similar in nature, for example, 'the role of the equals sign.' At this age it is important that children understand (leading onto later years and algebra etc) that ‘Equals’ doesn’t mean ‘the answer’ but is a BALANCE of two equations. There is a lesson plan included here as well I used for an observation during a Numeracy lesson on the topic.

I couldn’t find any materials on this when I needed to teach my year 3 class what the equals sign REALLY meant. I have included the lesson plan I used, the 3 differentiated worksheets and a Powerpoint I made. Also have included a homework set of resource sheets (could alternatively be used in class as a reinforcement at a later date.) UPDATE: I have added a more challenging resource for year 3/4

SALE! Until 25th October A visual lesson featuring LESSON PLAN, plenty of WORKSHEETS (the A, B, C is the best for this particular lesson) and VIDEO (made from a powerpoint I made) to demonstrate how to take away by adding on using a number line. I have also added some additional sheets that could be used as homeworks. Please leave a comment if you appreciate the resource or find it helpful.

I am delighted that the conversion from Mac to PowerPoint is now reliable enough to transfer the special effects on this presentation to PC Powerpoint format as well! The animations of the number line are unique and extremely beneficial to the childrens understanding in this method. This lesson has been observed several times by colleagues in the past in my capacity as AST to illustrate how the use of teacher technology can improve maths teaching within a lesson. Starters included… There are also examples of worksheets, here this has always been one of my favourite lessons to deliver and I am delighted I can share it.

A Smart Notebook file, about finding change from £1. The coins can be moved into the actual hand as required to help the childrens understanding. I can’t stress how helpful the notebook file is to illustrate this. Suitable for years 2-4 I have also included a lesson plan for this particular lesson I was observed on and a large collection of differentiated worksheets.

In PowerPoint (Windows) AND Keynote (Mac) format I am delighted to offer a unique and fully editable version of ‘countdown’ in PowerPoint format with theme music, timer, cards that flip etc. Just change the numbers to suit your students. This took a lot of time to make initially in Keynote (Mac) format and I have successfully converted it into PowerPoint. Great as a starter in Numeracy Lessons. Different formats added! 1st Feb 2017 due to comments, PowerPoint formats should be able to use and edit fully now, please email me on daveorritt@mac.com if you cannot access the effects, it may just need a setting changing on your PowerPoint program.

Help the Dinosaur find his food maze, I made for ‘counting practise’ for a colleague some ten or so years ago. Just thought I’d throw it on here if anyone wanted to save them some time or edit.
