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! Please feel free to browse my shop.

Year 5 Addition and Subtraction word problems - differentiated

(3)
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! Thanks. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/d_roberts1

Year 6 (Upper KS2) Maths board game (all national curriculum objectives)
d_roberts1d_roberts1

Year 6 (Upper KS2) Maths board game (all national curriculum objectives)

(1)
A fun and engaging board game themed around my math villain, Dr Doom! The game has math questions from a range of topics such as number, fractions, measurement, geometry, time and many more all taken from the national curriculum. It is an amazing way to revise, practice, assess and motivate learners especially before SATs! It also contains word problem challenge cards with more detailed questions and multi-step problems. The children can take multiple routes to Dr Doom's laboratory meaning they can play it many times over! Instructions are provided which explains how to play the game (it's very simple). A more eco-friendly black and white version is also available. Please rate and feedback. Other primary resources are available in my shop which is linked below. Happy learning! https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/d_roberts1

The double-double machine

This is a resource children can use to multiply by four. They see that doubling a number twice is the same as multiplying by four. I call it the 'Double-double machine'. Here is my template complete with an example.
Column addition for Year 3 featuring Dr Doom!

Column addition for Year 3 featuring Dr Doom!

(1)
This is an introduction to Column addition aimed at Year 3 (UK) or Second grade (US). It starts of with basic examples and moves to explain bridging through ten, hundred and both ten and hundred in a visual, child friendly and easy to understand way. The children will have great fun defeating my mathematics villain, Dr Doom! It has four worksheets which correspond to a code that the children use to defeat each stage of Dr Doom's plan. The PowerPoint has logical break off points meaning it's perfect to complete over multiple sessions. I have tried to provide children with a clear understanding of the methods underpinning column addition which relates directly to the new style mastery curriculum. I hope the children have as much fun with it as my students did! https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/d_roberts1 Happy learning :)
