Introduce Algebra at Primary / Secondary with these 22 ppts and 12 worksheets (9 of which are editable). The 22 presentations begin with simple picture representations and explore pupil’s reasoning skills through a variety of sized and shaped grids, representations of scales as equal and scales as amounts to reasonably compare. Most numbers can be edited on the powerpoints and blank worksheets are provided for extra differentiation (if necessary). A lovely introduction to Algebra in the new Curriculum for Wales (CfW).

They proved so successful with the children and the two other Reception teachers; I continued to produce them for the rest of the year. Worksheets, matching games etc. are included. You will receive 5 interactive PowerPoints. A list of their contents. Worksheets, games and activities I created to support their learning. I use each presentation at least 3 if not 4 times a week prior to Maths session. By the end of the week those who were struggling on Monday had a better understanding by the end of the week. The children are chosen to come to the whiteboard for most of the PowerPoint pages e.g. to pop the bubbles whilst counting down from 10, which they love (with improved listening skills!). Many concepts e.g. the idea of zero or addition are much easier to understand visually e.g. eating all of the cakes (gone) or combining items (altogether), telling number stories. The PowerPoints start from scratch. Unfortunately, the difference between the highest achiever and lowest at Reception can be enormous and my philosophy is ‘no one left behind’. They change pace quickly and certain aspects such as the ‘doubling bunny’ rely on repetition and learning ‘the action’ (children physically perform it) so that they can say the answers before tackling the maths later on in the year. Each lesson begins with: Shape discussion (click the shape to make it dance), Counting upwards (from the number of the week), Counting from 10 to zero (clicking on the images so that they disappear one by one). Different concepts are then added each time. I have created these PowerPoints to satisfy: • Maths mastery, • Little Big Maths, • The Welsh foundation phase curriculum / English eyfs curriculum, • Individual profiles (Reception), • It introduces the part part whole aspect of Singapore Maths and also the bar method (later on), • It also utilises ideas from the White Rose Maths. Week one is free so that you can see how this works in your class. The rest are in half termly packs.

I have created these to use in my class next year and am so pleased with how they’ve turned out. I have only created them to 10x. I have included a Powerpoint presentation to learn the 2x times table and black and white copies that you can use on worksheets. I hope you enjoy too.

Week 1 PowerPoint is arranged as follows: Page 1 : Cover page – shapes to discuss (triangle, square, rectangle and circle) Page 2 : Counting to 10 (1 to 10) Page 3 : Counting down from 10 to 0 (balloon pop) Page 4 : Reading numbers 0 to 5 Page 5 : Writing numbers in the air (1 to 5) Page 6 : Counting coins 1 to 5 Page 7 : Doubling bunny 1 + 1, 2 + 2 Page 8 : Adding basics (how to make 2) Page 9 : Comparing numbers to 4 objects

These race car numbers can be used in a variety of ways. They can be used as a wall display (or other display), they can be an arranging task, they can be used as an activity for ‘driving’ a toy car around the shape correctly or can be traced. The boys particularly liked these when introducing numbers to the class. The clip art images can be inserted into any worksheet of your own creation too. I have created these because the ones I’ve found have the incorrect formation for 4, 5 and 9. I have used these digits (without the lines) for these resources too; https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/number-fans-and-also-numicon-dice-2d-shapes-3d-shapes-coins-and-fractions-11961251 https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/numbers-posters-1-20-display-11961553

Numbers posters ready to print and laminate. Each containing the word, coin representation (least number of coins), the number itself, numicon representation and hands/fingers representation.

8 different versions of fans ready to cut out and laminate. Both have sets in colour and also with a white background. Coins include the new £1 coin. If you have any other ideas / requests please place in the comments.

This is a great way to introduce and learn numicon values by playing 1-6 bingo or 5 - 10 bingo. You can differentiate by using both. The picture cards are for one to one matching, actual numicon sizes. A perfect activity to compliment shape and colour recognition. Numicon bingo is on the White Rose maths hub scheme for

Add to a powerpoint presentation, include in your work or simply print and laminate. Let me know if you want additional numbers.

Fun game / presentation to introduce the language of probability. It uses the terms; Impossible, Very unlikely, Unlikely, Even chance, Likely, Very likely and Certain. There is a brief introduction and these slides can be removed if you wish, including rules of the game. The board has 12 interactive questions where pupils click on their choice before the question is revealed. There are 7 possible answers to each question. Clicking the wrong answer will make the answer shake to indicate that it is wrong. When a correct answer is chosen, it will take you back to the question board. You can keep a record of the scores when the presentation is active by typing them in yourself on the question screen. It is also possible to name the teams in the same way.

My new thing in class is not to introduce work but rather start at the end, with a quiz. Can they remember what they’ve learnt previously? Can they discover the concepts on their own? Let’s guess / infer together? We can get it wrong, but let’s try. (Metacognition) This fractions game isn’t straight forward. The halves are pictured as 3/6, 2/4 etc. so this would be the next step on from simply naming fractions. It’s an introduction to equivalent fractions (1/2 and 1/3). The game is interactive, with the aim of popping all of the bubbles. Press a bubble to choose a question. Press the correct answer on the question slide and you return to the question screen with your bubble popped. Press a wrong answer and it simply shakes. Keep going until you choose the correct one. You can keep a record of the scores when the presentation is active by typing them in yourself on the question screen. It is also possible to name the teams in the same way.

6 enjoyable snap games focusing on two elements at a time e.g. fractions to decimals, starting with easier matches e.g. ½ and 0.5 and increasing in complexity. The first three games are targeted for level 4 (big maths too) and the last three are level 5 questions. The pupils click on two choices, which are then revealed. If they are incorrect, they need to reset the board. If they are correct, they may continue until they match two incorrect tiles. The game needs instruction initially, as with the limits of PowerPoint, it will not say if the matches are correct or not. They can be used as a fun introduction, plenary or independent games. The games will work on an iPad that has PowerPoint. The game can be sent to the iPad as an email attachment or through Dropbox / Google Drive and opened with PowerPoint. There is one larger version with sound and a smaller version without. Both have the same questions.

10 sets of fact family triangles (tables 2 – 10). 12 fact family worksheets (tables 2 – 12).

10 paged Powerpoint to find the missing weight that makes 100g each time. Created to introduce missing digits and mathematical reasoning skills. The connection should be made between the weights and a missing digit sentence e.g. 35 + __ = 100. It also enables you to compare 100 = __ + 35 and the validity of both. I recommend that you use my Mr 100 to find the 100 number bonds, but then I would!

I created this interactive PowerPoint after using ‘Guess my number’ game in the class which is modelled on the game ‘Guess who’. I use it to solve reasoning questions between 0 and 50 e.g. How many odd numbers are there between 20 and 40? The numbers can be pressed and eliminated when used on an interactive whiteboard. The class love to be chosen to interact with it. I have included 30 question cards in a PDF format but also in a word format, so that you can alter the tables/sums etc.

I’ve used these very successfully with year 5 to introduce a practical application to probability. I recommend that you use coins, dice, dominos and playing cards during the lessons but they can be used just as easily without. You may also have a large dice, dominos or playing cards that you can use to introduce the 4 lessons, or to use with lower abilities. The tasks in order of complexity are; • Coin toss investigation, • Dice roll investigation, • Dominos investigation and • Playing cards investigation.
