Made for my grade 3 class who are just starting to formally learn their times-tables. Very visual resource using arrays with dots, hundred charts, step counting and various sum flashcards. PowerPoint activity/presentation progressing in this slide order: Counting in steps of two up to 120 from 0. Count to 24 in steps of 2 with array being built. 100 square count in steps of two with pattern being revealed (2 sec each step). 100 square count in steps of two with pattern being revealed (1 sec each step). Double the number with numbers in random order (doubling function in-out machine design). 2 times table with sum and array in order. 2 times table with sum and array turnaround in order. 2 times table with sum but no array 2 times table with sum and array out of order. Answer shown and student to give sum. Also included are the x0 and x1 timetables. Often overlooked when teaching multiplication, but essential to grasping a true understanding. First slide is ‘times zero’ times table and shows a fixed golden zero with sum twisting in and out. Emphasizing the rule that; “When you multiply a number by zero, the answer is always zero” Second slide is ‘times one’ times table and shows the multiplicand (the number being multiplied) emerging from itself and sliding over to the product (the answer) Emphasizing the rule that; “Any Number Times One is that Number / 1 x anything = itself”

An introduction of the ‘think multiplication strategy’ to help with division. An animated, interactive PowerPoint presentation with arrays of dots to help students visualize related multiplication and division facts. A partially covered array showing only the number of rows in an array, but not the number of dots in each row is shown, along with a matching fact statement (e.g. “Altogether there are 40 dots”) Students are encouraged to give the multiplication sentence AND related division sentence using the information shown (total number of dots & number of rows/groups) that helps work out the array proportions. e.g. 5 x ? = 40 and 40 ÷ 5= ?. 14 example arrays. Includes 3 level differentiated division / multiplication worksheet in same style, plus colour matching facts for all tables x2-x10

Three rimes table trick with arrays to help with the three times table multiplication strategy . This clear, step-by-step and helpful PowerPoint will help students learn that multiplication by 3 can be done by doubling and adding another set. e.g. to calculate 3 × 14: first double 14 getting 28, then add another 14, (to get 3 times 14) which is 42. 21 Examples are presented (from 3 x 2 up to 3 x 21) in order, or from a hyperlink menu. Each slide shows the sum and a confused face, Then two lines of the matching array (showing the doubling array) Then another set (another line of the array) is added Whilst the matching thought process is shown with clear sums. Finally everything apart from the x3 sum and array dissolve out, leaving just the sum, the answer and the x3 array. Each part of the thought multiplication strategy is presented when you click the mouse, giving students time to work out and explain each step. Includes 3 level differentiated mathcing sylte worksheets and skip counting x3 worksheets.

Think Addition Strategy to do Subtraction mental math 2 Presentations & 8 Worksheets - Think-addition-to-do-subtraction is a mental math strategy that introduces students to the concept that there is an inverse relationship between addition and subtraction. You think of an addition fact in the same fact family. For example, you can solve 10 - 4 = ? by thinking 4 + ? = 10 and knowing that 4 + 6 = 10. I made these two PowerPoints to help my grade 3 class (ages 8 & 9) with the think-addition strategy. Many of my students this year are slow to recall number-bond facts, and therefore this has hopefully helped them to see the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction. Could well be used in earlier grades. 1 PowerPoint of 25 sums with matching circles being added and taken away: mainly for subtraction sums between 10-20, but also has 4 slides for facts to 10. Slides can of course be hidden and order rearranged. 2nd PowerPoint of 20 larger sums with no circles: variety of examples within 100. Comes with seven subtraction think addition worksheets in PDF format of increasing difficulty, and 1 editable microsoft word worksheet.

Carefully designed, double-sided, Phase 5 phonics mats. One side has grapheme and memorable clip-art example(s), reverse side has a list of example words (taken from Letters and Sound, Phase 5, Bank of Words). Each side is laid out in the reverse order - so that when the clip-art side is printed and put back-to-back with the word list side the words are directly behind the image. This helps the learner to find the spelling pattern they are looking for as the mat is ‘flippable’. No title on the table mat to maximize examples.

Fun phonics worksheets for Letters and Sounds Phase 3. Consonant digraphs: /ch/ /sh/ /th/ /ng/ Vowel digraphs: /ai/ /ee/ /oa/ long /oo/ short /oo/ /ar/ /or/ /ur/ /ow/ /oi/ /er/ Vowel trigraphs: /igh/ /ear/ /air/ /ure/ Partner worksheets allow children to work and learn with a peer, taking it in turns to write the focus grapheme, they then read the word to their friend who listens and ticks the check circle next to the word when it is read correctly, the friend then re-reads the word to get their check circle ticked. Using different coloured pencils makes it easy to see that children have been taking turns. An extension is to take it in turns drawing sound buttons under each example word. Highly effective and enjoyed by children. I have also uploaded a corresponding version of each worksheet without check circles if you wish to use them as individual work. Each word illustrated with extra clear black & white clipart, therefore easy to photocopy and for children to colour.
