I create mathematics powerpoint and other resources for Key Stages 1, 2, 3 & 4, which are designed to clearly explain topics. These can be presented by the teacher, or accessed by individual students. I can create bespoke resources. Most KS2 and KS4 Maths Topics are in Bundles, as are the KS1 Powerpoint Mental Starters, or available separately If you'd like a bespoke bundle, please tell me the items you would like in it, and I will do this, at a discount of about 30% off total price.

The faces of the cube have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 snowflakes on them, and the Tetrahedron faces have 1, 2, 3, or 4 snowflakes on them (which could be decorated by the pupils before assembling the solid). Each of the solids is then rolled 60 times, and the number it lands on is recorded in a tally chart. This is then used to draw a bar chart, and comments on the bar chart can be made. The 5 pages of the PDF are: A page of instructions A page with a Net for the Cube A page with two nets for the Tetrahedron (in two different sizes) A page to record the tally chart, bar chart and comments for the Cube A page to record the tally chart, car chart and comments for the Tetrahedron The pupils then use these solids to make a tally chart.
