Teaching Suggestions •Show your students images of different objects. •Next to each word is a list of three ‘banned’ words •Children must describe the object without using any of the given words. •There is a 2-minute timer on each page to add some excitement to the activity. •NO HAND GESTURES OR MIMING ALLOWED •This can be played in teams, or with single players. •Ideal for use with second language learners, to encourage using a wider vocabulary and to speak clearly and succinctly to the group. •This makes for a perfect lesson filler, introductory ice breaker or as a brain break in your classes. •You have been provided with a PDF and PowerPoint version of the game so that it can be printed off onto cards and used for individual students to look at yet hide from their peers. •The PowerPoint version can be used on a variety of devices or on the IWB. ( the rest of the class need to turn away from the board while the image of the object is shown). Students can then click on the timer which is the prompt for the rest of the class to turn around and begin guessing what the object may be from the clues given by the student chosen to be the ‘describer’. 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 :)

What is a thinkboard? It is a graphic organiser or tool to assist students to make connections across/ within and between different representations of knowledge. The more connections that are made: •the better the understanding of the mathematics •the more likely it will be that the mathematical knowledge is retained •and easier it should be to apply the mathematics The focus of the think board is on finding the connections between the different ways of representing a problem. How to use them •Arrange students into groups of four, placed around the Think Board’s four sections. 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.

Set of colored and black and white game boards for your classroom kit. Each board game incorporates a spinner which can be used with a paper clip and a thumb tack with numbers 1-6 (If you don’t have dice handy) This has been incredibly popular with my younger students, who have created some fun games using these blank boards. I have used them with mini rubbers as playing pieces and the game rules that even the younger students came up with, were really amazing. I have extended this activity by using it as a literacy task where students have been asked to write a procedural text ie. how to play the game. What you need? How many players? How do you start? What are the rules? How is the winner determined? An affordable and versatile resource for any classroom.

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 favorite 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 Suggested word examples for each part of speech

Do you need a set of Real life Pictures for Number talks in your classrooms? Then this is the set for you The value of using authentic images in your math lessons and rotations-Mathematics educators have long known that engaging students in visual representations of mathematics is extremely helpful for their learning. Utilizing imagery and visual memory can be very helpful when learning mathematics such as proportions. A single picture can help a student define and remember a concept, or it can even help them to recall the steps required to compute a problem. -Students need daily opportunities to engage with mathematical ideas in purposeful and playful ways. -They provide time for authentic, independent practice that connects to what they have learned through whole class quality instruction. -Students need opportunities to develop the core and curricular competencies. Through the ‘doing’ of the mathematics, students will be building their confidence of themselves as mathematicians and seeing the connection of mathematics to  their world. -They give students choice, which increases motivation and fosters a positive disposition towards Mathematics. -They give teachers an opportunity to meet with students one-on-one or in small groups to provide explicit instruction, engage in guided math, and/or have conferences. The images are divided into 5 sets with teaching suggestions for each one. -Set 1- Arrays and Multiplication. Tesselations -Set 2- Working mathematically -Set 3- Growing Patterns -Set 4- Estimation -Set 5 - Shape and Design -Set 6- Graphing and interpreting data from images -Set 7- Coordinates and mapping What people have said about this product Extremely satisfied "We used this resource to get students in a routine during the beginning of math sessions during virtual learning.

A Social Narrative is an effective way to teach children how to navigate a new situation, such as starting school or preschool. 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.  Teaching children how to ask a question only once is a common social skill that needs to be frequently addressed. As educators we always will say things like, “wait’ or “You asked that just a moment ago.”, however we need to explicitly teach these skills. This story can be used to help children to develop skills so that they can learn to function and integrate with other children in the classroom and other social settings.
