I could not find any fun, free Year 1 Mental Maths tests. While I made a get set of PowerPoints yesrs ago, I have discovered, like everyone else, I simply don’t use PowerPoints anymore. I focus much more on YouTube and other video services. I thought I should get my resources up to date and so I have added a Year 1 Term 1 Mental Maths Test 1 for you to use.

I have been asked to think about Thanksgiving. I saw very little which excited me on TES and so I thought I would create and share 10 nice posters about being thankful. All I ask in return is that you click the little blue heart further down the page and follow me, so I can let you know when I create my next set of free topical posters. They would also be great for any time you need to teach about being thankful or for harvest festival. If you like what you see here - please leave a lovely comment - as comments make what I do worthwhile.
How to make your own plantable pencil

How to make your own plantable pencil

(0)
I have a dream. I want all pencils used in schools to contain tree or other plant seeds. I want children to use plantable pencils. I have developed my own very cheap, simple plantable pencils which could be made and used in the classroom. All you will require are: Some pasta with a hole in the middle, the width of a pencil School pencil Seeds A school book label which will be cut in half. From these simple resources, you will be able to make a plantable seed pencil. The children can then develop the idea. How can it be improved? How can it be decorated? What are the positives and benefits of such an idea. It is also a great tool for using in science when you wish to get childre to grow things in pots, as the pencil of course makes an instant label. Teachers and pupils who have already tried this have given me very positive feedback. The pencils I am using in the video are 100% recycled paper pencils - but any pencil will work perfectly well.

Fun Random Number Math Game - where I sound like a chipmunk. I generate 8 different numbers each day which my students use for adding, subtracting, multiplying and other exciting maths games. I sometimes just give them the first 5 numbers in the video and ask them to work out how they could make the number 100 using the 4 different number operations.

I have set myself the task of creating a Daily Multiplication Quiz - Day 2 - for my students. I found a cool old board in a junk shop and then went about using it to generate as many different numbers as I wanted in an exciting way. The kids who have tried this lesson have all really enjoyed themselves. Even better, if you try theDaily Multiplication Quiz - Day 2 - you will find you can have all the kids working on different times tables and still take the quiz as a whole class. You can even use it to teach them how to subtract numbers from 100 instead. Each day come back and try another version of this fun game!

Daily random numbers - Maths game. Every day I will generate 8 new numbers and as a creative maths teacher you can use them in the classroom. You could simply get the kids to make as many additions as possible in a certain amount of time, you could get them to add, divide, multiply or sort. If you stop the video after only 5 numbers, you could the class to work out how they can make 100 or as near to 100 as possible with just 5 numbers. It is a whole new concept in maths. Every day, for your maths warmup, you simply show them the latest video and then devise a simple, high speed maths game. You could even differentiate by getting different table to complete different tasks, all using the same numbers.

I wanted to give me students daily mental maths practice in a fun and different way. I have provided a way of generating pairs of numbers using a spinning top. The numbers could be added together, subtracted from each other, the numbers could be multiplied or divided, depending on the age and ability of your class. This test is designed so different children in the same class could be doing the same test, but with different number operations. This means every child is actively involved in the lesson! This daily mental maths practice will be updated on a daily basis!

I created this maths class music video by throwing dice for 30 minutes. It is calming, and repetitive, which means the children will not be distracted by the screen. However, any parent, teacher, senior management figure coming in will see the screen, see the dice and instantly know that dice and numbers are being used to generate an active, fun maths learning environment. Try this maths class music and see if it helps your class remain relaxed and focused.

I designed this Math Class Music video so the children just see dice being thrown again and again for 30 minutes. It is something you could put on your whiteboard while children are working in their books. It is relaxing to watch and of course, if a parent or another teacher comes in, they will dice and numbers and be convinced you have got the right math working atmosphere. Try Math Class Music and see if it makes a difference in your class. Do this while children colour something related to maths.
