I designed this activity to get the children to become more accurate at counting data systematically. I have also included the answers in a worksheet. Children are required to count the number of certain letters in a passage of text. Can be linked to handling data in ICT showing the computer can be more efficient at certain tasks.

PART ONE of TWO
As this is the first time I have shared content in this format (Mac) this is what I use.
Please note this is 15 YEARS worth of Keynotes made on the mac originally for years 3 and 4 although many have been used in older classes and are easily adaptable.
INVALUABLE for anyone with a Mac that uses it for teaching as these are VERY hard to find. (Why I had to make them as I much prefer Keynote.) These took many many hours to make individually.
Many incorporate videos and animations within them and some have been used to achieve outstanding observations. Thats why the file size is so big,
For a MacBook user these are fantastic and many should work on iPad too with Keynote. (Although one or two of the animations may be different and I can't 100% promise all will be formatted perfectly from experience.)
Keynotes year 3/4 - A Massive collection of all the presentations I have made ORIGINAL in Mac format.
Most are self explanatory but have written a few notes of description for some them below to help. Will save Apple users absolutely tonnes of time as I myself use many of these when I go into schools. You really are getting a lot here believe me. (Some written on Keynote '09 so you may want to open on this to avoid conversion.)
- Poetry Creating Images Keynote - Used for an outstanding observation 2 years ago, children went on to write their own beach poems based on the content shown.
- Haunted house keynote - Fantastic for boys writing to get them enthralled.
- Mummification Keynote - Includes video of the mummification process.
- Parental Year 4, shows 'how we do things' in Maths. Includes an EXCELLENT countdown starter that can be used with the children also, (really really effective) but illustrates examples of how we teach in Mathematics at that age. Used in a Maths showcase evening at school.
Please note these will NOT work on windows computers (PowerPoint) without conversion although an excellent site to convert these files is https://cloudconvert.com/key-to-ppt
I have included this particular resource mainly for Apple users.
Please VOTE on this resource if you find it useful
A set of differentiated worksheets I made where children have to add the two numbers below to get the final brick of the top of the pyramid.
The harder worksheets require inverse operations. Fantastic for an activity relating to how additional and subtraction are linked, or reinforcing the concept.
A collection of worksheets for your class which can be used as part of lessons or time-fillers at the end of the day.
Perfect for the newly qualified or experienced teacher.
An extensive set of resources used highly successfully for an observation lesson on whether a polygon is ‘regular’ or ‘Irregular’.
Used in a Year 5 class and includes plan, differentiated resources and presentation that are easily adaptable.
(Please note I have also included this presentation in MAC Keynote format as well as Powerpoint format for apple users. )
An interactive Smartboard file I made for year 3/4 for an observation lesson.
Tries to get across the idea that knowing the rules for odd and even can inherently help you check your answers!
Actually used this again yesterday in a class in Lancashire, worked really well.

-Presentation

A collection of Numeracy resources designed for Year 3/4.
I decided to include some of these as a package to offer the best value over the next two weeks.
