I use this with my Y5 GAT groups - useful for understanding non-decimal bases - and being grateful for maths as it is today! I have left these in Arial - I print them in a copperplate font I don't have a lesson plan to go with this written down - pm me if you would like one

I use this with my Y5 GAT groups. The numbers and the problems at the end are from eyelid (credited in the document), which asks you email and say you are using the material, and credit it. Good for place value understanding and appreciation of modern place value consequent on zero I have no written lesson plan, but pm me if you want one or any more info

Godd for maths/art groups. Use double page in middle of maths book for drawing. For younger groups, draw the first or even first 2 sqaures in. Whilst they can colour in the smaller squares, the larger square are best patterned or having pre-cut coloured squares glued on them.

2 Chinese New Year Assembly plays

The first play is the traditional naming of the years. You could split the narrator's part, or roll Buddha/Jade Emperor into one person and/or ditch the cat. The 2nd play introduces Nian. We used a dad to play Nian, who does a lot of menacing and dancing about, but an extrovert Y5/6 could do it. This is not the version of the story in Wikipedia , but is the version on the People's Republic of China website.

A sequence of 2 to 4 lessons starting with the positive integers and working Socratically through to imaginary numbers and possibly quaternions. It doesn't cover anything much that isn&'t in the ordinary syllabus at some point, but does present the number plane as an integrated whole. Sorry - I uploaded this before I realised the sqrt 2 proof is only on the school computers - will add it next week.

should be self-explanetary. Sorry - I had some A4 and A3 masters marked into 1cm strips, but i can't find them. For the hearts, you can fold paper into 4 and cut away the corner to make a cross rather than use 2 separate strips
