Provide the students with one of the sections as a starting point and give them time to discuss the idea with their neighbours before deciding on what to record. •You can also work on a Think Board as a whole class or individually. Assessment •Think Boards promote discussion – look for mathematical language used. •Assess individual student’s understanding of a mathematical idea – look at all sections of the •Think Board individually to find strengths and weaknesses This resource contains both PPT and PDF versions in a ZIP file so please ensure that you have the software to open them You will recieve a set of 5 different Thinkboards for each number and an editable version so that you can create your own.

Looking for a Collaborative Easter Project??? -Let your students work together to create a wonderful HUGE poster to proudly display in your classroom. 36 pages…enough for the largest of classes. -Watch your students and colleagues as they admire the fantastic final product. -Why not use it as a backdrop to take photos of your students to make personalised Easter Cards.? I recommend printing this on heavy card to make compiling this huge poster a little easier. -This resource is designed to be a class collaborative project, with each students working on a page of the larger puzzle/poster. -This resource contains 35 printable pages that can be put together to make a large display poster for your classroom. -The completed poster measures approximately 14cm wide x 14 cm high or 4’wide x 4’ high -Use this image as a guide to see where each of these pieces go….this adds to the collaborative challenge of this project. How to Print -This resource comes in two versions (the choice is yours). Make sure when you are printing that you select full slide or fit to page to get the maximum image on each of the slides. This has been created using US letter (8.5 x 11 inches) but it will print in A4 size also. -For best results print on card stock so that the corners of the pages don’t curl and each section is easier to manage. -I highly recommend that your students use the same medium for the whole poster for consistency. In my opinion, I find crayons or pastels give an even finish whereas markers tend to give more lined effect and is more time consuming to complete -The letter labels can be done with a different medium to create a nice contrast. Markers work well for this aspect of the group task. How to Assemble -My preferred method is to use masking tape, (sticky tape can become very difficult to work with for children) or alternatively have large sheets of butchers paper joined together and paste the puzzle pieces directly onto blank paper. Some trimming may be required. What People are saying about this project “I love these collaborative posters. My students enjoy making them, they help to decorate my classroom, engage them, encourage completion of work, and keeps everyone happy too! Thank you!” “Adorable and comes out fantastic. Thanks” This is for use by one teacher in one classroom. If you would like to share with your colleagues, PLEASE purchase a multiple license. Thank you :)

Engage your students in practicing factors, multiples, prime, and composite numbers with this fun card game with engaging characters and bright colors Do your students need support with consolidation and practising their multiplication and factorisation skills? This fun and engaging game is perfect for math centres and as a fast finishing game for your class. This version features some crazy gremlins and creatures which are appealing to a range of age groups. SETTING UP THE CARDS 1.Duplicate the background slide, and print your number cards back to back with the striped background. This is the set of factor cards. 2.Create the Target cards, by printing the targets back to back as you did with the number cards. 3.Laminate the cards for durability- You may choose to print off and laminate the playing mats. HOW TO PLAY For 2-4 players 1.Shuffle the 7 factor cards (numbers 1-12), and deal 7 cards to each player. Place the rest of the deck face down on the table. 2.Shuffle the target cards and turn over the top card revealing the target number. 3.Let’s say the target card is 36, the player to the left of the dealer will look at the cards in their hand and see if any of them are a factor of 36. 4.If that player has a factor they will place it next to the target card, for instance, if it the player has a 4, they will say 9x4=36, and then the play will go to the next person to the left and continue until a player does not have a card that is a factor of the target number. That person then has to pick up ALL of the cards that have already been played. 5.The next player will turn over the next target card from the top of the pile, and play will continue. 6.The winner is the person who manages to get rid of all of the cards in their hand first. 7.Each player MUST say the multiplication face when playing their card.

Sensory details include sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste. Writers employ the five senses to engage a reader’s interest. If you want your writing to jump off the page, then bring your reader into the world you are creating. When describing a past event, try and remember what you saw, heard, touched, smelled, and tasted, then incorporate that into your writing. Sensory details are used in any great story, literary or not. Think about your favourite movie or video game. What types of sounds and images are used? What do your favourite characters taste, smell, and touch? Without sensory details, stories would fail to come to life. When sensory details are used, your readers can personally experience whatever you’re trying to describe, reminding them of their own experiences, giving your writing a universal feel. A universal quality is conveyed when the writer can personally connect with the readers. Another note about sensory details: there is no one sense that’s more important than another. It all depends on the scene you’re trying to create. However, imagery, the sight sense, is a common feature in vivid writing. You will receive a zip file containing a PDF and PowerPoint version of this resource. Each image is presented in A full page image A full page image with sensory prompts Planning Template Draft writing Template Lined Paper

This set of cards and teacher notes contains 24 Scenario cards with blank multicultural faces on them. They can be used laminated as playdough mats or to draw on with whiteboard markers. Googly eyes also work really well with this activity and a lot of fun (eye not included) You can use them as discussion starters shown on the whiteboard and discuss how each character would be feeling What would their faces look like? How would their eyes look? Would they have wrinkles on their forehead? Why or why not? How would their mouth look?I have included smaller versions of the cards so that students could use these in barrier games where one child makes a face, and then has to describe to a partner what their face looks like (there is a book or screen between them) This is a wonderful activity for talking and listening. Barrier games are a great way to encourage expressive and receptive language skills Scenarios include My best friend won’t play with me (male and female versions) My dog is sick I have a new baby sister I have a new baby brother I found $2 I am going to a birthday party I lost a tooth I won a race I lost a race My teacher gave me a sticker (male and female versions) I fell over in the playground I have no lunch I made a new friend (male and female versions) I missed the bus (male and female versions) I have a new friend I found a baby bird I fell off the monkey bars We are having pizza for tea I am getting a kitten#sizzlinsummerpk2

This ALL ABOUT ME lap book can be worked on throughout the first week of school, but older students should be able to finish the project in a single day, if necessary. The open-ended design makes it most appropriate for children in grades k-2, as they can each write and draw at their own developmental level. •These books have been designed for use with Special Needs students in mind but can be used with any students. •The purpose of this resource is to create an overview of each child for those instances when the regular classroom teacher may be away from class, and the sub or relief teacher needs a quick and easy overview of the students in the class. •Assembly is easy with students cutting around the dotted designated lines and stapling or gluing the pages together into a booklet which can be displayed on the classroom wall or in a storage box for easy access. •Children can have their information scribed for them by an adult or they can draw images that go with each page in the booklet. 1.All about me- what I want people to know about me (preferred name, likes- dislikes etc) 2.My family- whatever the child would like to share about themselves and their families 3.My Friends- Who I like to work with at school? Who I feel safe with at school? Who I like to play with at recess and lunch. 4.My Hobbies- What I like to do outside of school, my hobbies and interests….my ‘special things’ Anything else I would like to share with my carers and teachers

A Social Narrative is an effective way to teach children how to navigate a new situation, such as starting school or preschool or in this instance, safely crossing the road. Social Narratives can help children understand what to expect at school or preschool and they can be used to support orientation, which is particularly useful when children and families are not able to be on-site.  Encouraging children to try using independence in problem solving in situations where safety is a prime concern, is a common social skill that needs to be frequently addressed.  As educators we need to explicitly teach these skills. This story can be used to help children to broaden their confidence, and to make safe and independent choices when crossing the road.
