Hello fellow teachers! I have been teaching in the UK in primary schools (7-11 year olds) for over 20 years.

Report Writing Children's Questionnaire

(0)
Make your report writing a tad quicker and easier with these questionnaires. Report writing takes us all so much time! These questionnaires are designed to take some of the pressure off. Give these to your class and let them tell you what they have enjoyed the most, found most interesting or what they are the most proud of. This is a great way for you to get that all important child’s voice into your reports. Being able to write sentences such as: “Lila has been especially proud of her progress in fractions this year.” “Fredrick was particularly proud of the Tudor Portrait he painted in Art.” “Harry’s has shown a flair in Science this year - he found our unit on All Living Things especially interesting.” shows that you know your children well and includes their voice in your report. I hope you find these helpful and they save you time. Uploaded in Word in case you want to edit to suit you Any reviews or feedback is welcome to help me create and upload content that you will find useful.

Blank Column Method Templates

(0)
Fourteen blank templates to support children in laying out column addition and subtraction. There are templates for both the** expanded method and the short method**. Templates for the expanded method are colour coded to help children with where each of the totals need to be placed when they add the hundreds, tens and ones. Of course, these can be printed in black and white if you don’t need this for your teaching. There are a variety of sheets depending on how many digits you are adding or subtracting and how many digits will appear in the answer. In my classroom, I have a little stash of these that we use when we are doing addition and subtraction. It has always been helpful for younger children or those who find the lay out tricky to do independently. I hope these are useful and save you time!

A** visual representation** of the place value of digits, these posters are a valuable resource for any classroom as place value is such an **important concept **for children to grasp. They are perfect to have as a static display in your classroom for children to refer to all year round.

There are 11 posters that run from 0.001 to 1 million (including the decimal point) along with 2 arrows to remind children which direction the digits move when they multiply and divide by multiples of 10.

Balancing equations - primary lesson

(0)
Balancing equations. Visualisation. Quick lesson. Balancing equations comes up in most maths assessments. It can be an area that children fall down on but these are such easy marks to pick up! This is a mini lesson. It could be used as a teaching tool, revision or a starter to another lesson. It goes through what these calculations look like. We visualise each side of the equation on a scale and discuss how the scale needs to be balanced. There are a couple of independent activities which don’t require printing – this can all be done form the screen. The lesson ends with a challenge question. Mini assessments are done throughout with the answers being shown and children marking their work as they go. I hope that it is helpful to you and your children and saves you time.

How to use Bar Models - Tutorial

(0)
A beginner’s guide on how to use bar models to solve worded problems as a part of Maths Mastery. Bar modelling is a visualisation tool that is used in Maths as part of Maths Mastery. It is a hugely valuable skill to have and when it is taught properly and consistently it allows children to access more challenging worded problems and reasoning tasks. Once a bar model has been drawn, multiple facts can be drawn from it. These slides give an overview of types of models, questions that can be asked and facts that can be calculated. The following slide can be used in a number of different ways: • For your own information – maybe you are unsure about some of the models, what they look like or how they can be used. • For staff training – when I was Maths Lead I used these slides in different schools as part of teachers’ CPD. • For teaching or display – if you are teaching these models to children you might want to use some of the slides as part of your lesson or display. Whatever you choose to use them for, I hope they save you time and are helpful!

Maths Mastery. Want your children to be Math Masters? These posters are sure to help you and your children on that journey! 6 posters, 5 objectives for a Math Master. I have used these posters as a permanent display on the side of my Math board. We refer to them in most lessons either as a part of the main learning or as a challenge or extension at the end of a learning task. After a while, I have found that some children refer to them independently and extend their learning without guidance from me. They have helped develop both Math Masters and independent learners over the years! There are double the amount of poster that you will need here – one half are for ‘Math Masters’, the other for ‘Maths Masters’ depending on where you are in the World. Please be mindful of our planet and only print what you need. Enjoy!
