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.
An incredibly effective lesson leading onto an assembly to show how soul destroying racism really can be with links to Nelson Mandela.
Is VERY powerful if done properly. See my other resources for a great lesson on drawing portraits of Nelson Mandela.
A document for parents and pupils to sign. Invaluable for E-Safety and security. Editable as I have included my word version of the document. Has gone down well with many schools.
This is a snippet from the top of the document...
Parents / Carers play a crucial role in ensuring that their children understand the need to use the internet / mobile devices in an appropriate way. Research shows that many parents and carers do not fully understand the issues and are less experienced in the use of ICT than their children. The school will therefore take every opportunity to help parents understand these issues through parents’ evenings, newsletters, letters, website / VLE and information about national / local e-safety campaigns / literature. This agreement is aimed at fostering that approach.
Invaluable and guaranteed to save you time.
Lots of original material for teaching 'Settings' in particular, haunted house, beach, forest.

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.
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.
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.
