I create a range of resources aimed at primary aged children; most frequently upper KS2. My passion is teaching mathematics, my specialist subject area. I have two aims: To create fun resources which inspire children To create mathematicians, not robots! I believe great teaching, specifically with mathematics, should aim to teach children the underlining methods which children can apply to take initiative of their own learning!

This is a resource I use with my Y5 children. It encourages them to visualise the word problem by drawing a picture to illustrate the mathematics at hand. It is differentiated into a higher sheet (multi-step problems) and a normal sheet (one-step problems). Please leave a review and see my shop for more resources!
