I am a primary school teacher with a knack for teaching to the multiple intelligences, particularly the visual learner. My resources are inspired by my experience of teaching different students with unique ways of learning. I love the magic of helping them to make connections in learning. The grades 3-5 are mostly what I cater to, however, I also have some great resources for grades 1 and 2.

Fractions are fun with these colourful fraction dominoes! This game is perfect for enriching fraction lessons and is great as an activity on its own. It has 54 fraction domino cards with 3 doubles and three blanks included.
Print out on card stock paper and cut out cards OR print on regular paper, laminate each sheet then cut out cards using a guillotine. To play, match the numeral fraction to its corresponding shape fraction. For higher grades, equivalent fractions can be matched. Instructions for playing and a game modification for higher students are included.
3D Shape Sorting Activity. Use these 3D shape Venn diagram rings in conjunction with these 3D Shape Flash cards to keep your students engaged in a self-checking Attribute Matching Activity for 3D shapes.
The 3D Shapes used are: cubes, cuboids, pyramids, cones, prisms, cylinders and spheres.
Here’s what you can get from this set:
-Revision Flash Card Ring Set - To revise the attributes of the each of the 3D shapes. Just punch a hole in each of the triangular tips and keep them on a key ring.
-Large Venn Diagram rings for Attribute Sorting - To get your students proficient in sorting, start off by using one attribute ring at a time. After each attribute type is mastered, move on to using two rings, then interloping them like a Venn Diagram. It is best for students to use real 3D manipulatives but if you do not have any available, you can cut-out, print and laminate the ones found on the last page. Students can check their own work for errors by comparing the data on the flash cards with what they have matched. Your fast learners can be given more challenge by having to sort up to three or even four attributes using the interlocking Venn Diagrams.
- You can also use the flash cards as labels to label shapes in the classroom!
This is a colourful 3D Shape Dominoes Game for reinforcing the 3D shapes (spheres, cones, cubes, cuboids, cylinders, pyramids and prisms) by their names, nets, description and pictorial representation. There are 22 cards in this set. It's a fun way to learn. Just laminate and cut up. Instructions for players are included.
Elapsed Time Rulers! There are many ways to teach elapsed time and over the years I've learned that having a visual time span for the students to follow is the easiest and fastest way for them to understand and map out elapsed time for themselves.
These elapsed time rulers are available in three different time spans:
- 24 hour ruler (from 12:00a.m. to 12:00p.m. to 12:00a.m. again)
- a.m. 12 hour ruler
- p.m. 12 hour ruler
I colour coded them in red and blue; red for the hours (upper half) and blue for the minutes (lower half). Five minute and fifteen minute increments are also shown in blue. Use it like a number line. Count on from the starting time to the completion time of an event. Directions are included.
Teachers can print them on transparent sheets to use with an overhead projector to demonstrate their use. To print them out for the students, use 8.5 x 14 (legal) sized paper to accommodate the full length of the rulers.
Fraction Strips - these will help you teach about equivalency among fractions, decimals, and percents. Each card is colour-coded allowing students to make connections when they see relational card values for proper fractions, percents, and decimals. For example, ¼, 25%, and 0.25 are always yellow.
Fraction word name cards are also included to help students learn how to pronounce the numbers correctly.
The cards included can be used to focus on just one skill (e.g. decimals) or use the cards together to learn equivalencies.
Extra copies can be made to allow students to cut out the fraction tiles and use them to create word problems. All Fraction Strips are available in whole, halves, thirds, quarters, fifths, sixths, eighths, tenths and twelfths. The same goes for their decimal, percent and word-name counterparts. Everything here is also included in black and white form for ease of making photocopies.
This has activities for teaching Place Value with numbers from ones to thousands. It contains:
Introductory Cards - For introducing how units are represented. Call any number from 1 to 9,999 and let students represent them using the cards.
Place value worksheets - Using the blocks to write values in numerals and words.
Game Time - Using the place value chart to represent values in a fun way. The game is set up in such a way that the students who are getting in right would finish faster and the weaker students would be in the game longer to get more practice.
Question Time - A quick question and answer review.
For grades 3-4. 14 pages.
