Practise listening, pronunciation, vocabulary and sentence construction with ‘Listen and Repeat’ using some of the best material available on the internet for learning Greek. The Ppt presentation has audio, transcript and translation in bite-size units that can be activated and repeated at your own speed. The portable MP3 audio file has built-in pauses to repeat the phrases, and there is PDF transcript and translation. Links to the source material are provided with each unit, and further material such as vocabulary and grammar exercises can often be found there. The level of this unit is lower intermediate. Further units will span the intermediate levels. If you choose to download this resource, I would be very grateful for constructive feedback. I feel very strongly that ‘Listen and Repeat’ is the most powerful tool to develop foreign language skills, especially for people who find languages particularly daunting, and I hope to encourage the production of more material of this type from the language teaching community.

These are four whole class/group activities for upper primary pupils to develop and reinforce understanding of, and mental dexterity with, place value and larger numbers. They each provide 30 questions to ask around the class or group.

The principle objective of this activity is to teach systematic thinking, in this case to test numbers chronologically with their factor partners up to the square root to ensure that there are no factors missing, and they are identified as quickly as possible. It also provides opportunities to consolidate knowledge and understanding of times tables, square and prime numbers, mental strategies for calculating division, and the efficiency of using divisibility rules. The sheets can be completed by hand or electronically on a PC or tablet. The sheets can be used as homework, or as a time-filler to occupy more able children. It is also an exciting and popular task when used as a daily warm up in the form of a race. The race ends when a child finds the full solution, with merits for the winner and runners up. With a robust group the pupil sheets can be abandoned and the task completed on individual white boards, so the children are not prompted with the correct format and number of factors. When the number of factors is high you will find children calling time when they are a pair or two short, and having to go back to the drawing board; this all adds to the excitement. The pack contains a set of twenty sheets at the mid level. There is a further set of twenty sheets progressing to a higher level of difficulty and a related scheme of work that can be purchased separately.
