<p>An A4 place value mat which can be printed and laminated so learners can be given a number (single, double or triple digit) and asked to write down the expanded form, 1 more/less, 5 more/less, a visual representation in base ten blocks and the written form. Great to use as a starter activity to assess understanding.</p> <p>This can be differentiated within your class by choosing numbers appropriate to their abilities.</p>

<p>A fun rebus picture puzzle starter activity. There are 40 picture puzzles included in the PowerPoint and Worksheets plus a slide/blank question sheet at the end for you to add your own. I have included a PDF &amp; Word version of the worksheets. This starter always goes down very well with my learners - it can be difficult to stick to just 8 and not go through the full selection!</p> <p>I place copies on the desks for learners who are early to class to keep them occupied. Once register is complete we go through the answers via the PowerPoint which contains a few added visual clues to help them if needed. The presentation is animated to reveal clues first and then the answers.</p>

<p>A great starter activity to get your class using their minds before the session begins proper. Worksheet provided and PowerPoint which has a few visual clues to assist in gaining the answers. I also have a further 32 rebus picture problems to buy if you are interested.</p>
