(Korean War and Cuban Crisis)</p> <p>The PowerPoints are designed so that students can answer a few questions at a time, either on paper or in discussion, individually or in pairs/ small groups. The answers are organised as pop-ups. Students can peer mark their answers. They can also use the quizzes at home as a part of their revision.</p> <p>The questions are structured so that there are easier multiple choice questions at the start. For all but one quiz there are questions on Word documents as well as PowerPoints.</p>

<p>I have created a compilation of a variety of effective activities that I have used over many years with KS2 children who needed extra support for Maths. They enable the teacher/ tutor/ parent to observe how children work out their answers, how well concepts are understood and which key facts are in need of consolidation. The activities also act as ‘warm-up’ games and provide loads of enjoyable practice at manipulating number for all four rules. They can deepen understanding and speed up recall.</p> <p>There is a strong focus on confidence building with mental Maths through playing games. Children are encouraged to articulate and compare their strategies, use known facts and record number sentences accurately.</p> <p>At the start there are short sections summarising key knowledge and resources. As a supplement there is a selection of follow-me cards and a set of halves and doubles dominoes. The games just need simple resources such as playing cards or dice, counters and number grids.</p>

<p>This is a quick guide to possible reasons for spelling errors, other than Dyslexia. It is aimed at teachers, teaching assistants and parents. It formed the basis of a talk I gave to a staff meeting.</p>

<p>This is a revision quiz in two sections covering Mao’s rise to power and consolidation of power. The first part is easier, shorter and mainly uses multiple- choice questions. The second part is longer and more challenging. The answers pop up on the PowerPoint.</p> <p>The quiz was created to help individual students revise however it is also very suitable for whole class use and will promote discussion.</p>
