A single worksheet of 20 questions with answers. The task is to estimate square roots of numbers such as 7, rounding them to the nearest whole number and using the inequality symbol for approximation.

This resource consists of two worksheets, each with 10 sentences where verbs have to be changed from the simple present to the simple past (preterite) tense. Some contain more than one verb. Answers are supplied.

This collection contains sufficient material on multiples and factors to cover several lessons. The material is designed to equip beginners with the skills necessary to work with fractions. The presentation begins with an introductory slide showing how both multiples and factors are related to multiplication tables. It is then divided into two sections so that the teaching of multiples and factors can be treated separately if desired. Slides are advanced manually, but most are animated with conceal/reveal effects designed to encourage class participation in the lesson. Practice slides are included after each section so that learners can work in a supported way with partners or small groups before tackling fully independent work. Pupil handouts are included (a choice of black and white or colour). They have had answers removed so that they can be used as additional practice material. Learners will find them valuable as reference material when working independently in class or at home. The 35 worksheets are graded according to difficulty and organised into sets of five. There are three sets on multiples and four on factors. For the teacher’s reference, each worksheet has a footer showing the range of numbers used in each set. They should provide sufficient work not only for use during lessons, but also for follow-up tasks at home and for revision purposes. Answer sheets are provided.

An animated 8-slide presentation guides students through present, past and future versions of active and passive voices of verbs. Simple pictures of a rabbit and a carrot show how word order in a sentence can be changed when a passive verb is used, The term ‘agent’ is introduced. There are two versions of the presentation. The teacher-controlled version has a click button between each slide to enable the teacher to pace the lesson according to the needs of the class. The fully automated version is designed to run independently, either at the front of the class, or as an independent literacy-centre or home-learning resource. The classroom poster takes things a bit further, by including versions of tenses not covered in the presentation. This is a resource designed for extension work for more able students. Two worksheets provide follow-up practice. Answer sheets are included.

This is a collection of worksheets supporting the teaching of 4 compound tenses: present perfect, past perfect, present progressive/continuous, past progressive/continuous. They address the difficulty presented by participles that do not form part of a compound verb (e.g.ten the sound of running water; a broken window), and also that of identifying a compound verb when it is split by other elements (eg I have only just arrived). There are ten worksheets in all - two worksheets and two answer sheets in each of the five folders.

This collection of resources is sufficient for a 5 sessions of work on adverbs. The material is suitable for Y6 and over, and would also be useful for adult classes or staff training. Editable lesson plans are included. Each session begins with a short starter activity followed by the main input which is taught through a section of a teacher-controlled PowerPoint presentation. Most slides contain step-by-step reveal animation to enable interaction with the class and provide the possibility of individual whiteboard work. Although full accompanying teacher notes and handouts are provided, teachers are strongly advised to familiarise themselves in advance with the click and reveal system and the links between slides. A PDF version of the presentation is also available for anyone wishing to avoid the animation. This version would also be useful for producing classroom display material. The unit begins with a general introduction covering the kind of words adverbs modify, and what 4 types of adverbs there are. Each of the other sessions is dedicated to one of the following: adverbs of manner, time, place and degree. Each of the slide sections ends with a 5 question practice slide to facilitate supported group work. Pupil handouts are provided for recording answers to the questions, and each practice slide is linked to an answer slide. After the teaching input, learners move to an independent worksheet activity linked to the day’s focus. The activities vary in type (multiple choice, gapfill, wordsearch etc) throughout the week. Every lesson ends with a short plenary.

This is a fully resourced one hour lesson on subject and object pronouns. There is a full lesson plan indicating how the lesson could be structured. For the starter activity, there is a screen display of a nonsense poem containing pronouns. The main teaching input is via a 7 slide presentation covering the form of subject and object pronouns, their position in relation to the verb, and how to avoid common mistakes. It ends with a short practice exercise to be done in pairs or small groups. Most slides contain teacher-controlled slow-reveal animation in order to keep the class involved throughout. The independent exercise which follows contains 15 sentences in which I/me has to be inserted correctly into gaps. During the plenary, pupils work together on a printed version of the poem seen in the starter. This could be finished as a homework task.

This resource provides sufficient material for a complete lesson on equivalent fractions, and enough worksheets for classwork, homework and revision purposes. It consists of a 17-slide PowerPoint presentation, 5 graded sets of worksheets, and a two-page help document to support learners/parents/support staff in the independent/homework tasks. The presentation has teacher-controlled animation to facilitate step-by-step working through of the method. After two slides dealing with key vocabulary, there are 5 showing how to use multiplication to find a second missing numerator, and a further 5 showing how to use division to find the first numerator. The intention is that during the whole-class lesson, the method will become embedded in learners’ memories as they work through a series of problems with the teacher, using the same ‘script’ for each. At the end of the presentation, there is a set of calculations for pupils to work on in pairs/small groups, before moving on to independent work. Answers are supplied. The step-by-step help sheets have a similar function to the presentation. The first shows how multiplication is used to solve equivalent fractions problems. The second deals with the division method. The 25 worksheets (sets of 5 with accompanying answer sheets) are arranged in folders, which are numbered in order of difficulty. Since the objective is to teach a method, rather than supply calculation practice, a secure knowledge of multiplication tables is not a prerequisite of success at this level. The easiest folder requires only that pupils know the 10 times table. The other folders also have denominators of 2 and 5.

This collection of resources is sufficient for 6 one hour lessons on adjectives. The material is suitable for Y6 and over, and would also be useful for adult classes or staff training. Lesson plans and answers are included. Each session begins with a short starter activity followed by the main input which is taught through a section of a teacher-controlled PowerPoint presentation. Most slides contain step-by-step reveal animation to enable interaction with the class and provide the possibility of individual whiteboard work. Teachers are advised to familiarise themselves in advance with the click and reveal system and the links between slides. A PDF version of the presentation is also available for anyone wishing to avoid the animation. This version would also be useful for producing classroom display material. Topics covered include: adjectives before the noun adjectives after the verb adjectives modifying pronouns antonyms of adjectives comparative and superlative adjectives correct use of comparative and superlative. Each of the presentation sections ends with a practice slide to facilitate supported group work. Pupil handouts are provided for recording answers to the questions, and each practice slide is linked to an answer slide. After the teaching input, learners move to an independent worksheet activity linked to the day’s focus. The activities vary in type (multiple choice, crossword etc). There is also an optional writing extension which is continued throughout the unit. Every lesson ends with a short plenary.

The use of French articles is often different from English, and it is an area where even experienced students make mistakes. This set of resources addresses that, covering the definite, indefinite and partitive articles. There is a support sheet and two worksheets for each. The accompanying answers have explanatory notes referring students to the rules covered in the support sheet. Each worksheet has 8 short questions to be translated from English to French. One mark is awarded for getting the article right, and a second mark for the correctness of the whole response. Each of the sets would provide ideal independent work to follow on from an online lesson.
