This A3 worksheet contains several different activities about the human male reproductive system and fertilisation.
The activities are as follows:
Unscramble the parts of the system.
Label a diagram of the system.
Find words related to the system in a word search.
Fill in blanks for a short paragraph about reproduction and fertilisation.
Draw diagrams of an sperm cell.
Match the parts of the system with their function.
Bonus: Write 1-2 interesting facts about the system.
Because of its size, this activity sheet lends itself nicely to pair work. Children really enjoy the variety of activities available.
The document is editable so you can make adjustments to suit your needs.
Please kindly leave a review if you have a moment. Thank you.
This worksheet involves putting the pictures from Flat Stanley - The Great Egyptian Grave Robbery in the correct order.
It is meant to be used as an online activity using Google Slides or equivalent. Children can then easily move around the picture slides to put them in the correct order.
Of course, it could be printed off and then children could manually move the pictures into order.
On Google Slides, if you use Grid View, you can see most of the slides on one page which makes for ordering them easier than using the side bar.
This reading comprehension is based on the story of Egyptian Cinderella by Shirley Climo. It is made up of a variety of different questions which involve different skills from fact recall to comparison. Please see the preview to get an idea of the types of questions.
The worksheet is fully editable so you can change any part to suit your needs. It is also easily used for remote learning if you share it as a Google Doc.
I hope you like this worksheet. If you do, please kindly leave a review if you have a moment. Thank you.
Also, please note, this document does not include the original story text. However, it can be easily found on the internet or as a read-aloud on Youtube.
A four slide presentation containing a variety of pictures and symbols to map out the story of Pie Corbett’s Storm Unicorn.
After familiarising themselves with the text, children should be able to re-read the story using only the story map. It makes for an interesting challenge.
The Challenge
This Code Breaker Challenge is made up of 4 challenge sheets, each containing three sets of questions about multiplication and division. The content is based on the Whiterose topic - Multiplication and Division for Year 3 (Spring Block 1). There is also a final challenge sheet for obtaining the master lock key.
The Setup
Ideally, the Code Breaker Challenge requires a box which can be locked with four three digit combination locks and one (master) padlock.
How to Use
Fill the box with treasure, for example some sweets and then setup the combinations on each of the locks and lock the box with them and the master lock.
Split the class up into four teams and provide each team with one of the challenge sheets.
Start a timer of approximately 30 minutes (depending on the ability and age of your class).
Each team works together to solve the challenge and tell the teacher the three digit code. If they get it correct, they may open their lock. If not, then they will need to check their answers.
Once all four combination locks have been opened, or even after the first team has finished, provide the master lock challenge. If they complete it correctly and within the time, they can then have the master lock key to open the treasure box.
Great Fun!
The children absolutely love the Code Breaker Challenge and we repeat it at the end of every major maths unit. They really need to work together and check their work carefully if they are to succeed in opening the box and retrieving the treasure within.
The documents is fully editable so you can use it as a template to create your own challenges if you like. You can also use it for other subjects as well, but it definitely lends itself to maths the most.
I hope you and your children enjoy it as much as mine do!
This challenge is one of many. Please take a look at my shop for other units. Thank you.
This worksheet provides a blank part-whole model for children to fill in with numbers of their choosing. They then have to complete the addition and subtraction fact family below based on the numbers they chose.
There are two worksheets on one sheet of A4 for saving paper. You can also use the second one for them to repeat it with larger numbers or write your own in for them to complete. You can also add further complexity by only writing in the whole and one of the parts, so they have to calculate the other part first.
The document is fully editable so you can change it suit your children’s needs.
This worksheet contains six addition grids of increasing difficulty. The first has low single digit numbers whereas the final has higher double digit numbers, no larger than 20.
Each A4 page contains two challenge grids so you can save on paper whilst still having enough space for those children who write large than others.
Depending on your children’s ability, you can set the timer anywhere from a minute to five if necessary. It’s good way to assess their ability to perform arithmetic quickly and also makes for good homework practice.
My children generally really enjoy the challenge!
This worksheet has a diagram showing four common electrical symbols and their pictures - battery/cell, lamp, cables/wires and a switch. The children have to draw an electrical circuit for a light with a switch. The second part of the worksheet is a fill in the blanks activity in which children use the words from the box to complete the paragraph about the circuit.
This worksheet serves as a good introduction or reinforcement for children who are just starting to learn about electrical circuits and the symbols used to draw them.
This quiz contains eight questions (with answers) which are all word problems involving length and distance. The calculations are mostly addition and subtraction with some basic multiplication towards the end. There are a range of metric units use, mostly km.
For each question a one-minute timer is provided which will start when clicked. You could use it as the actual timer for children to do the working or you could have it as a final minute timer which is what I usually do. Play it by ear.
After each question when the answer is revealed, we go through the working on the board and create bar models to help explain where necessary.
The quiz is fully editable so you can easily change the content. I like to use the names of children from my class to make it more personalised. I also spent time creating a colourful and well-designed template too so you can reuse this quiz format for other topics and subjects also.
On this A3 worksheet, children create a key and colour in the countries on the map of Africa. Except for the map, this document is fully editable.
Instructions: a) Select and write down the names of 15 countries, found in Africa, in the key below. b) Assign a different colour for each country and then colour in the corresponding location on the map of Africa. c) Mark on either the names of the oceans or some of the capital cities.
You could also have the children draw on some of the human-made or natural landmarks as an additional activity.
On this A3 worksheet, children create a key and colour in the countries on the map of South America. Except for the map, this document is fully editable.
Instructions: a) Write down the names of the 12 countries found in S. America in the key below. b) Assign a different colour for each country and then colour in the corresponding location on the map of S. America. c) Draw on some of the key natural landmarks, for example, the Amazon River, the Andes etc.
You could also have the children label the capital cities for each country and/or the oceans.
This is a profile / short biography of a Vietnamese woman named Ms Mihn Dao. I use it early on in my biographies unit to both ask questions about and then draw up facts into sentences using a range of time prepositions and connectives.
It serves as a good basis for the children to plan their own autobiography and then their own fictional biography.
This worksheet could be printed out, but was designed to be completed by children online in Google Docs. It’s made up of 10 questions, a bonus and an extension task.
The first five questions involve the children shading in the given shape (using the background colour changer in Google Docs) as well as naming the fraction either as a word or in its number form.
The second five questions involve naming the fractions based on a given shaded area of the shape.
The bonus is a slightly trickier question based on the second half of questions and the extension involves children creating their own table shape, shading the cells and typing up the fraction name.
It’s great for use in Google Classroom where every child gets their own copy. You can then easily check their individual progress live and then check their results.
This display is ideal for projecting the denominations of British Pound. Underneath the labeled coins and notes is an enlarged table for typing in different amounts of pounds (with space for up to £999.99).
To achieve the lesson objective - make up given amounts, children will need either actual or fake money. Our school has a large set of fake currency which I divide up between small groups. Individuals can then easily select what they need to make up the given amount.
Projecting the chart on a white board also allows you to tally or cross-off coins as you work through examples on how to make up different amounts. You could also do the same on the document too as it’s fully editable.
To add difficulty to the LO, ask the children to make it in the easiest way possible or once they have made it up one way, challenge them to make it up another way.
This simple worksheet involves children colouring in the paths of both the odd and even numbers. There is more than one route to follow for each but also several dead ends, so it’s important children plan properly before committing to colouring the squares in.
It serves as a fun way to reinforce and check the children’s ability to understand odd and even numbers. It also allows chance to easily circulate as they colour to further check understanding.
This worksheet is for use towards the end of a maths unit where the children start to make their own word problems for others to solve. The worksheet is split into two sections.
The first part has a space for children to write their facts and question and another space for drawing a small illustration related to the problem.
The second has spaces for using a bar model or equivalent to help determine how to solve the problem and then spaces for the calculation and answer.
I use this setup to type up different examples of addition and subtraction problems to show on the projector.
It is fully editable as well, so could be easily adjusted for multiplication and division. There are spaces for place values up to 1000 as well as spaces for regrouping or carrying numbers on.
This introductory worksheet about 2D shapes, lines and curves, and types of circles, is split into three objectives and tasks. Here they are as presented in the document…
LO: I can identify lines and curves in different shapes and patterns.
Task: Sort out the Capital letters of the alphabet A-Z into the correct groups.
LO: Recall the names of different 2D shapes.
Task: Retrieve from your memory only, the names and spellings of as many 2D shapes as you can think of!
LO: I can identify the different types (fractions) of a circle.
Task: Use Google Image search to find real life examples of objects that are one of the following. Copy and paste them under the correct name. See if you can find three examples of each. One example of a semicircle might be half a slice of pizza.
This worksheet is designed to be used online as a Google Doc but could also be printed. I use it in Google Classroom and create a copy for each of the children to work on.
This worksheet is made up of 10 comprehension questions and a bonus, covering a wide range of reading skills. It is for the book, Flat Stanley - The Great Egyptian Grave Robbery.
Each question is based on a different chapter. The chapter numbers are given in brackets afterwards to make it slightly easier.
Children will have had to have read the book, but ideally have s to it to be able to refer to and answer the questions as best they can.
This is quite a tricky comprehension for my Year 3 level, so it would be more suitable for Year 4-6.
The worksheet is also designed to be easily used as a Google Doc so children can type their answers online. Last time I used it in Google Classroom where each child gets their own copy of the document to work on.
This subtracting fractions worksheet is designed to be used online as a Google Doc, however it could still be printed out and used that way.
It’s made up of 17 questions plus a bonus. Each question involves subtracting fractions of the same denominator. The calculations get progressively more difficult and the final few questions involve answers which require a written fraction name instead.
It’s great for use in Google Classroom where every child gets their own copy. You can then easily check their individual progress live and then check their results.
