You could look at it directly as a presentation and discuss the different ideas being shown in each of the photos. You could print off and laminate the photos to make an interesting, eye-catching display about Anti Bullying Week. The students could also take the laminated photos and sort them into different groups. The photos could also be used as prompts for creative writing, factual writing or descriptive writing.

I like to ask the class a question, give the class a certain amount of time to solve the question and then show me the answer on their mini whiteboards. I have taken the KS2 SATs numeracy question papers for the 2015 test and combined the question and answer booklets into a single presentation. This is a great way of teaching as there is an instant feedback and explanation as to how to solve each problem. This helps to challenge and consolidate the classes learning. This teaching resource could be used for whole class teaching and checking, or at home as a one to one resource with a tutor. These teaching resources make maths less stressful and so the students are more motivated to succeed! I have created resources for levels 3-5 and also separate resources for Level 6 students. All the students should attempt all the papers to both consolidate and strengthen their basic learning and also extend their skills to a higher level.

I have tried to make learning fun. My powerpoints combine the original question papers with the original marking scheme. This means that after each question, immediately comes the answers. My idea is that a teacher shows the question, lets the class answer it using mini whiteboards. Then the students can explain their different strategies and see what would have gained marks and how to improve their work. This pack contains both Level 3 to Level 5 material and also Level 6 tests. Every child should try every test. This helps to extend and challenge the main group, while consolidating the learning of the more advanced children. Even more effective teaching learning is to pair the advanced and less advanced - the effort of teaching the less able child actually improves the understanding and verbal explanation of maths. This teaching pack could be used in the classroom for whole class teaching, small group teaching or at home with a tutor.

• This pack contains 17 templates for creating your own worksheets, for use in lessons, for testing, or for homework. You can use them with any level – your choice of vocabulary and tenses will determine the level. • This pack also includes a sample set of finished worksheets (with answers) on the topic of “Dentist”. The level is pre-intermediate to intermediate. • You don’t need to create all the worksheets for a given topic; simply choose the ones you need. The worksheets are in four categories: vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and speaking & listening. Of course, you can also adapt the worksheets and include your own activities and categories. • Remember, as the teacher, you should know the answers to the worksheets! By thinking about the answers and researching what you do not know, your teaching skills will improve. • The worksheets practise concepts and skills that are fundamental to the You Are The Course Book method of teaching, for example: discussion words, spelling statements, tense conversion, idioms, word stress, sentence stress, collocations, connected speech, discussion, and so on. • In keeping with the YATCB method, why not encourage your students to make their own activities based on these worksheets – then swap them with one another, or give them to other classes. • You can write on the blank worksheets then photocopy them for your students, or create your own templates modelled on these worksheets

The Importance of Thanksgiving Posters in the Classroom As Thanksgiving approaches, I’ve been inspired to create and share 10 beautiful posters that celebrate the spirit of gratitude. While browsing through resources on TES, I noticed a lack of engaging materials that truly capture the essence of being thankful. This motivated me to design these posters, which can be a wonderful addition to your classroom decor. Why Use Thanksgiving Posters in the Classroom? Promoting a Culture of Gratitude: Thanksgiving posters serve as a powerful reminder to students about the importance of expressing gratitude. They encourage a culture of appreciation, helping students understand the value of being thankful for what they have. Visual Engagement: Colorful and thoughtfully designed posters can capture students’ attention and create a warm, festive atmosphere in the classroom. Visual aids enhance learning by providing context and stimulating discussion around the themes of Thanksgiving and gratitude. Inspiring Reflection: These posters can prompt meaningful conversations and reflections among students. They encourage learners to think about what they are thankful for and share their thoughts with their peers, fostering a sense of community. Versatile Teaching Tool: Beyond Thanksgiving, these posters are suitable for any lessons focused on gratitude, kindness, and respect. They can also be effectively used during harvest festivals or any time you want to teach about appreciation and community. Encouraging Positive Behavior: Displaying messages of gratitude can promote positive behavior within the classroom. When students see reminders of thankfulness, it can influence their interactions and encourage them to express appreciation towards their classmates and teachers. I kindly ask that if you enjoy these Thanksgiving posters, please click the little blue heart further down the page and follow me. This allows me to keep you updated on future sets of free topical posters. If you find value in these resources, leaving a lovely comment would mean the world to me—your feedback makes what I do worthwhile! Let’s celebrate gratitude together in our classrooms this Thanksgiving!

Year 6 Students: Lesson 1 - Introduction to Every lesson includes a PowerPoint to revise the topic and a detailed lesson plan. Why Students Will Love This Lesson: Students will enjoy this lesson as it connects math to real-life scenarios, such as sharing food or measuring ingredients. Understanding fractions is essential for their daily activities, making learning engaging and relevant. Sample Questions: If we share a pizza among 4 friends, what fraction of the pizza does each friend get? What is the numerator in ? Can you convert the improper fraction \ to a mixed number? Benefits to Teachers: Engaging Materials: Each lesson provides structured resources, saving time on preparation. Real-life Applications: Students learn to apply their knowledge of fractions in everyday contexts. Assessment Tools: Quizzes effectively evaluate student understanding. Objective: Students will define fractions, identify the parts (numerator and denominator), and distinguish between proper, improper, and mixed fractions. Assessment: A quiz with 10 questions will assess their understanding of fractions, including definitions and conversions. Key Points: Definition of Fractions: A fraction represents a part of a whole, expressing a ratio. Parts of a Fraction: The numerator indicates the parts we consider; the denominator shows the total parts. Types of Fractions: Proper fractions (numerator < denominator) Improper fractions (numerator ≥ denominator) Mixed numbers (whole number + proper fraction) Equivalent Fractions: Different fractions with the same value. Real-World Examples: Used in time, recipes, and measurements. Opening: Start with the question: “If we share a pizza among 4 friends, what fraction does each get?” Use visuals to illustrate fractions. Guided Practice: Students work in pairs to identify numerators and denominators, classifying fractions as proper, improper, or mixed. Independent Practice: Complete a worksheet with 10 problems, including definitions and conversions, with explanations for answers. Closing: Review key concepts by having students share one new thing they learned about fractions. Extension Activity: Provide extra problems for converting fractions to decimals or percentages. Homework: Find examples of fractions in daily life and write a short paragraph about their use. Standards Addressed: PYP Standard: Mathematics: Understand and use fractions to represent parts of a whole. PYP Standard: Social Studies: Analyze and reflect on the use of fractions in real-life situations. Hashtags: #Math #Fractions #Introduction #Year6 #Education
