Do your pupils forget their written methods almost as soon as you’ve taught them?
I created this booklet to overcome this yearly obstacle - one booklet with all written methods explained in step-by-step instructions. Each pupil in my class keeps a copy in their maths books (like a bookmark) and refers back to it if they forget their methods.
For each step, there is a short, clear explanation of what to do (and why.)
**
Great for:**
+revision
+daily use
+learning aid for LAPs / forgetful pupils
+teaching aid when first teaching a method

I created these tasks mainly to hit the NC statement, “increasing their familiarity with a wide range of books, including…modern fiction, fiction from our literary heritage…” after realising that many of my pupils had never even heard of (let alone read) many of the classic stories from our heritage. These tasks provide samples and accompanying tasks from 15 classics (both older and modern.)
Please note: the 75 files were too large for one listing on TES, so I’ve compressed them into a zip file. I’ve also uploaded one lesson separately (Hound of the Baskervilles) so you can see the resource.
