Fractions for Juniors - Bundle

4 Resources
4 resources in one! Fractions for Juniors - Half and Quarter A hands on activity for 1st and 2nd grade students. Students work with the concept of a half and a quarter and cut and paste representations of each. Fractions of Whole Shapes for Juniors A brilliant resource for supporting, consolidating and assessing a student’s understanding of halves and quarters. Fractions for Juniors - Thirds A hands on activity for 1st and 2nd grade students. Students work with the concept of a third and cut and paste representations of a third. Students place and glue half and quarter shapes to fill whole shape on a recording sheet. In this resource are two recording sheets (one with guidelines and one without) and 4 sheets of cut out shapes. These 4 offer different levels of difficulty from simple halves only, to mixed sheets of halves and quarters, and finally a sheet of quarters only. Grouping Fractions - Halves, Quarters and Thirds An excellent resource to check understanding of basic the fractions Half, Quarter and Third. The resource is best used after students have been learning about and working with each of the three fractions. This is a hands-on cut and paste activity where junior students can practice and demonstrate their understanding of these three fractions.

Mapping New Zealand Battles - WW1 & WW2

2 Resources
Activity sheets that combine the maths concepts of position and direction within a New Zealand ANZAC unit study (with a focus on World War 1 and World War 2 battles). Students work on locating New Zealand battle locations in World War 1 and World War 2 using longitude and latitude. Students will require access to an atlas or (more preferably) an online map app, such as Google Maps. Students are provided with the recording sheets and information cards that contain information on three WW1 battles and four WW2 battles New Zealand was involved in, the dates of the battles and the countries. Please note - they are not in order on the cards! Using the information cards and the coordinates on the recording sheets students then work out which battle took place in which country and when.

Halloween Coding PACK for Juniors – Using Scratch Jr, notes, answer key, 21 pgs

4 Resources
This is a bundle of 4 individual Halloween themed resources. If you liked one of the Halloween themed coding resources and wish to do more, then this may be a better option than purchasing all four separately. I have made these resources to help begin meet the needs of our 21st Century learners. The skills they will need will involve a capability of working in a digital environment. These activities focus on coding. However it can equally be seen as a sequencing activity, a problem solving activity or a positional maths activity. These are introductory activities to using coding. They don’t require the use of a device or access to the internet. Though you may like to show students the actual Scratch Jr app as well. The success of these tasks is best achieved with plenty of prior discussion and modelling. This should include; • Explaining they are trying to give a character a set of instructions, or maybe programming a character to follow a set of instructions. • Discussing the icons The yellow block with the flag is to start the instructions The blue blocks do the action on the block The orange hand block is to stop The red block is to tell you the instructions have finished • Explaining that one block is one action • That the activity is a cut and paste one This resource comes with 4 variations of simple coding. Each of the 4 variations has two activity worksheets (two levels of difficulty), for a total of 8 worksheets. Each variation has an answer sheet. Variation 1: code involving a single turn. Variation 2: code involving a single turn, with an extra block (which will not be needed) to challenge students’ thinking. Variation 3: code involving two turns Variation 4: code involving two turns, with an extra block (which will not be needed) to challenge students’ thinking. The challenges with this activity are working with an anticlockwise and clockwise turns deciding which block is superfluous and not needed to complete the code This is a great way to get all my Halloween themed coding activities to date in one purchase! If you would like to check out each variation as a resource on its own please click on the links below. Variation 1: Halloween Coding for Juniors – Using Scratch Jr Variation 2: Halloween Coding for Juniors -Using Scratch Jr, 1 extra block Variation 3: Halloween Coding for Juniors – Using Scratch Jr, making turns Variation 4: Halloween Coding -Using Scratch Jr, making turns, 1 extra block
