After teaching 11 - 13 year old students for 7 years, I decided to stay at home when my second child was born. I used my Remedial qualification to assist those who struggled with Math and English to give them the extra boost. I believe in creating a love for learning in students by making it fun and interactive.

This set of task cards was designed to practise divisibility rules. The rules included are those for 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 9. Each card requires the student to select which numbers can be divisible by a certain number. There are four options on each card and there is no specific number of correct answers, but students need to find them all. For example, one card could have 2 correct answers, while another can have three.

“I Have... ‘Who Has?” is an interactive activity which includes the whole class. Each student gets a card. Hand all 32 cards out which may mean that some students get two cards. This will ensure that the full loop can be completed.
Choose a student to start (I often start the loop to set the example). The person to start, reads their “Who Has?” sentence. The rest of the students listen to the sentence and the required tense. They then check their “I Have” sentences for the correct answer. Once they read their answer out and it is determined to be the correct answer, they then read their “Who Has?” sentence. And so the loop continues.
For example:
First person reads: “Who Has - Tom had liked football. In Perfect Present?”
Person with the answer reads: “ I have – Tom has liked football.” “Who Has ...”
