I have memories of completing this activity at school - we would use a template or draw our own axis to draw straight lines to matching the numbers. (In the example, I used 1 to 1 but the blank template can be adapted to use any times table eg; 1 to 4, 2 to 8). The third activity is based around a circle template and initially the students draw a line to every fifth number before being encouraged to experiment with other numbers to make a variety of impressive shapes. As a child we used to do this activity using card and embroidery thread and create pictures using 'curved stitching'. The activity is also useful for developing fine motor skills.

The activity focuses on the change the y into i and add es rule for plurals and when to use it. The student is then asked to create a poster to explain the rule.

These multi -step word problems are designed to support students in gaining confidence in their abilities to solve problems using all four operations. The word problems also involve money and finding 10%.

An explanation of haiku and an example given. The students then write their own haiku. Students who are confident readers will be able to complete the whole activity independently. In my experience, once students have grasped the concept, they love to write these three line, 17 syllable poems.

I created this activity for an individual student to complete using their weekly spelling. The student enjoyed the activity as it was a way of learning the words in a more enjoyable, focused way then just copying them out. This activity could also be used as an independent or group learning activity.

The activity can be used as a group activity as well as independent individual learning activity. It can be used with a specific spelling or vocabulary list. The student is asked to define the word, find a synonym, an antonym and to use the word in a sentence. It also encourages the student to think about suffixes that could be used with the word.

I created this resource to support a student in writing about texts. It has proven to be a useful tool for the student to not recognise different features but also to write about their thoughts in a more structured way. The student now has a copy of this resource to refer to at home.

One of my students asked me this question. In response I created an information text and asked the student to create their own comprehension-style questions and include the answers.

This resource was created for one of my students to support them in learning the multiplication tables including the division . The resource consists of the template for you to use for a specific table. some students enjoy writing the facts down for themselves. A full set of triangles is included for the twelve times table. Triangles can be tied together in sequence or out of sequence.

I have used this activity to encourage the individual students that I tutor to use descriptive language in their writing. The frame asks the student to write a simile for snowflakes which they can then use to create a metaphor. I found that the activity supports the student in understanding and using both similes and metaphors. Once the poem frame is completed the student selects the best similes and metaphors to create their own poem. The activity includes examples of similes and the corresponding metaphor. T his activity can be completed as an independent and group activity.
