FREE Room on Broom Creative Thinking (Green Hat ) Worksheets Make Guided Reading Fun! I love Room on the broom and I was amazed that this best selling childrens book did not have a lot more more teaching materials attached to it, and so I decided I would spend a week focusing on developing a set of Thinking Hat Reading resources to go with this book. I hope you enjoy using it as much as I have creating it. I would love to have some feedback from people after they have used it.

Gruffalo's Child is the sequel to The Gruffalo. The book is a wonderful book to use with the Thinking Hats Reading Strategy. I have prepared three fun worksheets focusing on the Feelings and Emotions of the characters in the story. I would love to hear from people who liked this work.

Teachers have moved on from worksheets and PowerPoints to a lot more fun with YouTube and so I am now trying to redevelop my teaching resources to match this changing world. I must admit I am much happier with a YouTube video than a PowerPoint. This lesson has cleverly combined both.

I have developed a set of weekly Spelling practice and Spelling test for Year 5 children for teachers who want to include Minecraft in the classroom.

I have a dream. I want all pencils used in schools to contain tree or other plant seeds. I want children to use plantable pencils. I have developed my own very cheap, simple plantable pencils which could be made and used in the classroom. All you will require are: Some pasta with a hole in the middle, the width of a pencil School pencil Seeds A school book label which will be cut in half. From these simple resources, you will be able to make a plantable seed pencil. The children can then develop the idea. How can it be improved? How can it be decorated? What are the positives and benefits of such an idea. It is also a great tool for using in science when you wish to get childre to grow things in pots, as the pencil of course makes an instant label. Teachers and pupils who have already tried this have given me very positive feedback. The pencils I am using in the video are 100% recycled paper pencils - but any pencil will work perfectly well.

Fun Random Number Math Game - where I sound like a chipmunk. I generate 8 different numbers each day which my students use for adding, subtracting, multiplying and other exciting maths games. I sometimes just give them the first 5 numbers in the video and ask them to work out how they could make the number 100 using the 4 different number operations.

I have set myself the task of creating a Daily Multiplication Quiz - Day 2 - for my students. I found a cool old board in a junk shop and then went about using it to generate as many different numbers as I wanted in an exciting way. The kids who have tried this lesson have all really enjoyed themselves. Even better, if you try theDaily Multiplication Quiz - Day 2 - you will find you can have all the kids working on different times tables and still take the quiz as a whole class. You can even use it to teach them how to subtract numbers from 100 instead. Each day come back and try another version of this fun game!

Daily random numbers - Maths game. Every day I will generate 8 new numbers and as a creative maths teacher you can use them in the classroom. You could simply get the kids to make as many additions as possible in a certain amount of time, you could get them to add, divide, multiply or sort. If you stop the video after only 5 numbers, you could the class to work out how they can make 100 or as near to 100 as possible with just 5 numbers. It is a whole new concept in maths. Every day, for your maths warmup, you simply show them the latest video and then devise a simple, high speed maths game. You could even differentiate by getting different table to complete different tasks, all using the same numbers.

I wanted to create a fun multiplication quiz for my students. I wanted one I cpuld easily make each day for the students. I will be uploading a new movie each day. The idea is that you take these numbers and multiply them by the timetable of your choice! This fun multiplication quiz lets you test all the class at the same time, as each child is simply working with their own multiplication times table.

I wanted to give me students daily mental maths practice in a fun and different way. I have provided a way of generating pairs of numbers using a spinning top. The numbers could be added together, subtracted from each other, the numbers could be multiplied or divided, depending on the age and ability of your class. This test is designed so different children in the same class could be doing the same test, but with different number operations. This means every child is actively involved in the lesson! This daily mental maths practice will be updated on a daily basis!

Here is my Daily Multiplication Test - Day 3 which I use in my classroom. The children choose their own multiplication test and then we multiply each number by the chosen number in 10 seconds. The children could also use the same numbers to subtract from 100.,

Here is my 3 Dice Math Game video. You can use it to play games with 3 dice, generate three-digit numbers or a 2-difit number and a 1 digit number. How many different numbers can you make from 3 dice? There are endless ways of using this resource. I really hope you find this 3 Dice Math Game as useful as I have.

I created a 2 Dice 2 Colours Maths Game so you can play any game requiring 2 dice. As they are different colours, you can also take the 2 dice and say, the red dice is the tens and the white dice is the units and generate lots of different 2-digit numbers. There are lots of different exciting 2 Dice 2 Colours Maths Games you can play. I really hope you enjoy this video.
