This booklet is designed to be a recap of work studied in lessons and is not intended as a stand alone teaching aid. However, it could be used as such with guidance. I recommend using blocks, or cut out the larger squared paper provided, to demonstrate some of the concepts discussed.
Some sections may be difficult for some students. Use your discretion when printing. I’ve added a place to write their name on each sheet in case you want to use it as a stand-alone activity.
