Year 2 File for the Spring Term provides daily lesson for every lesson in the term including: introductory 10 minutes mental calculation work, main activity for the whole class and for groups of differing ability. *********PLEASE NOTE-This is a very big file to download all in one go!***********

As my Anti-bullying posters (https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/10-free-anti-bullying-week-posters-for-every-classroom-download-and-share-today-11168376) proved so popular, I thought I would continue the series and create a set of motivational maths posters. You could add them to the classroom or all around the school. The would make an excellent resource for International Mathematics day, Pi day or any other numeracy day. If you like these resources, please click the heart on this page to get informed of when I upload my next set of FREE poster resources. Please also take the time to say something nice about these resources as you can imagine, they take a long time to make and nice comments motivate me to make more of them!

I’m upgrading all my free teaching resources to YouTube Maths PowerPoint Presentations. I feel modern teachers are moving away from PowerPoints and I want something they can share with the class and easily set as support at home. This FREE Year 1 Maths Youtube PowerPoint Presentation - Addition and Subtraction - Autumn Term is a great introduction to Addition and Subtraction. It would also be useful for anyone revising for the KS1 SATs tests. If you like this lesson, check out my FREE Year 1 Maths Lesson pack (11 lessons) at https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/year-1-maths-powerpoint-lessons-6167046.

When I used the original book with an interactive whiteboard, I was always annoyed at having to skim to the end of the book to show an answer. I wanted it on the next page. In addition, I have now replaced all the pictured with much more stimulating colourful pictures. I have also taken the time to follow the advice of Dudley council and sorted the different problems into age groups and blocks. You will notice there is some repetition of problems both between blocks and in different year groups. The students can try the same problem twice at different times, as this is excellent consolidation. It is also an excellent time to suggest students think about how they could change the problem. How can this be used in the classroom? This could be used as an assessment at the start or the end of a unit. It also could be used as an emergency set of lessons for any teacher while covering another teacher’s maths classes. In addition, it is also an excellent set of resources to prepare for different exams. Look at how the students resolve a problem and identify the different ways different students attempt to answer the same problem. In addition to answering the problems, this is also an excellent time to look into inverse operations. How do we know we have found all the answers? How do we know we have found the correct answer? I have really enjoyed making these mental maths problems a lot more accessible. I have enjoyed teaching them in a wide range of different classes and I hope that you too will enjoy making maths fun.

I have been a keen fan of this book for a long time.
