An excellent Mental Maths activities resource with over 40 slide powerpoint suitable for Year 2 end of key stage. This resource can be used alongside teaching of the national curriculum. It is designed to give further evidence of the TAF statements for working At the expected and Greater depth. Teachers should aim to teach these mental strategies for children to build fluency in calculations. Suitable for the new Maths curriculum. Differentiated activities also allow children working towards to access this resource and develop confidence with mental maths e.g. using bonds and doubles. The slides include adding and subtracting 2 digit with 1 digit. Adding and subtracting 2 digit with 2 digit (with and without regrouping). Adding and subtracting with tens. Also slides for multiplying, (including sequencing) dividing, using known facts, adding doubles with money, halving money, using bonds to 10/20 and 100. Enjoy and please a comment

Key Stage Art and Design Tessellation 2 Lesson Design your own tessellation tile lesson and powerpoint. Pupils are inspired by the work of artist Escher. Pupils will understand how a tessellation tile is created using a geometric shape like a square. Pupils will cut into the shapes and then reassemble them on opposing sides. Pupils can make varying tessellating tiles that may look like different animals like dogs, fox, fish, or bird in the style of Escher. Or they may choose to keep their design abstract form. Pupils will need a square card to create their tessellation tile. Video links included. SEN differentiation included Step by step visual guide included Final outcome examples shown on ppt. Suitable for the Art and Design curriculum in Key Stage 2, year 3 and 4 in particular. Can be easily adapted for upper key stage by thinking about positive and negative spaces in final design to create optical illusions. To simplify - the lesson can be used by giving precut card tiles to students so they can create a tessellation and add their own repeating patterns to create animal faces. Thank you for choosing this resource.

This is a bundle resource designed to be made into a practical Velcro tape folder. Each page has missing boxes that children have to choose the answer which is on the adjacent page. Each page will need to be laminated with Velcro attached to the answers so that children can manipulate the resource practically. It is useful as a pre-teach tool, revision guide or as an early morning work folder. The resource is designed to be an aid to guide independence in maths once the activity has been previously taught in class. There are opportunities for children to match properties of shape, recognise numbers in order, place value recognition, o’clock and half past times, sequencing number, doubles, counting in steps of 2,5,10, arrays with repeated addition, comparing numbers, part- part -whole, bonds to 10, and adding money. All the working towards objectives for year 2 have been addressed in this and more. The resource can be edited to increase challenge once the child has mastered it independently. Can also be used for Year 1 end of year expectations for number to evidence meeting new TAF statements.
