An excellent resource to focus students on exclusively MINUTES PAST the hour or exclusively MINUTES TO the next hour. This resource to allows students to simply concentrate on either just ‘minutes past’ or just ‘minutes to’. Each worksheet here only focusses on one at a time.

These worksheets are focussed on telling time to the nearest minute. Two worksheets, one for each ‘side’ of the clock. Teacher notes included.

Agamographs provide a fun unique way of viewing art. My students are fascinated and get so excited with this art idea. This resource is a fun hands-on Pi Day themed activity that combines two separate images into one are piece, which the viewer can then see – from different angles - each picture independently. This activity involves coloring-in, cutting, gluing and folding. You will require; coloring-in materials (pencils, felts, etc), scissors, glue-sticks. This resource has 4 Pi Day themed images ( Pi, 3.14, a piece of pie, π ), to put together and create the agamograph. This resource has all the combination pairs (6). There are two levels of challenge; the final image is composed of 8 strips (4 strips for one Pi Day image and 4 strips for the other), suitable for younger students the final image is composed of 16 strips (8 strips for one Pi Day image and 8 strips for the other) I have also included blank templates for students to create their own two images to combine.
