Year 7 - 8 Mathematics Complete Learning Package

3 Resources
This package contains over 430 pages of supplementary and homework pages. All the strands of the maths curriculum are covered to provide extra work to both reinforce or extend the normal maths lesson. This means students can extend, maintain or get a head start on future topics being taught. There are pages on Number, Measurement, Geometry, Algebra and Statistics. All the pages were originally hand drawn. This immediately makes them different to all the existing computer-generated pages that students are used to. The goal for each page was to have different sorts of activities such as basic practice, and puzzle but to try and present each in a student friendly way that makes them want to do the whole page. These are not just time fillers but are structured and fun activities designed to stimulate and challenge the learner. The numeracy pages can be used in Year 7 through to Year 9 classes. It is a worksheet collection that help students become more aware of numbers, how they are related as well as little tricks to help make numeracy more interesting and fun. There are: addition pyramids, number hunts, methods of multiplication, beautiful numbers, adding over the tens, adding in parts, number bonds, partitioning, Fibonacci minutes, division tips, the twenty four challenge, four fours and consecutive numbers. Each pages contains 4 or 5 different tasks to help keep students active and moving on to another activity. Rather than spending a lot of time on one specific concept they move through a number of activities but will still revisit a different format to each concept on later pages. They can be used as homework sheets or during class time. If you go to my shop you will find 2 FREE 84-page samples that will give you an idea of the layout. The pages in the sample contain the arithmetic pages. Download the other free sample books and pass them on to your colleagues. Most are over 80 pages and cover maths work from year 1 through to year 8.

This is a structured, easy to follow 3 part series of fun activities designed to stimulate and challenge your students. Each booklet is 80 pages. Part 1 covers: numbers and place value to 1000, arithmetic strategies, adding and subtracting in columns, fractions, equivalent fractions, adding fractions and multiplication strategies. By the end of this section students will be more confident with larger numbers and arithmetic. Awareness of larger number relationships will give more confidence when manipulating numbers. Part 2 covers: place value and number relationships, adding and subtracting fractions, decimals and decimal arithmetic, graphs and handling data, units of measure, perimeter, area, angles, multiplication strategies, division and averages. Part 3 covers fun arithmetic, order of operations, temperature, integers, integer arithmetic, fractions, decimals, percentages, perimeter, area, volume, probability and a final test of progress. Ideally these books could be copied and given as homework books or supplementary sheets. These are then a visible record of work for teachers, parents and students. Each page is easily completed and are designed to lead to success and confidence which then leads to increased motivation and an overall enjoyment of learning.

This resource consists of 2 downloads. Download 1 has 110 pages of worksheets. It is arranged in 3 sections. The first section introduces several topics that are important in early mathematics learning such as drawing graphs and shapes. However, there are also excellent practise sheets on counting and ordering numbers. Section 2 is concerned with counting numbers up to 20 and writing them in order. This topic is introduced in a number of interesting but different ways to help consolidate the concept. Section 3 consolidates the arithmetic concepts of addition and subtraction with many interesting examples to practise on. These pages are ideally used in class alongside the second download. Download 2 contains 155 pages. This is also arranged in 3 sections and can be photocopied as 3 separate workbooks for students to take as homework, or the pages can be used in parallel with the other resource. If students are taking home a visible homework book, then parents are happy. Working through the pages in each of these downloads help consolidate learning of the concepts, give your students a good grounding in the basics of number and introduce your students to work being covered in mathematics in the next few years.
Fun Science for Young Minds

Fun Science for Young Minds

In this resource you will find some activities that have been traditional favourites in Early Childhood Centres for many years. Other activities have evolved spontaneously from our exploration of materials and resources or from my own experimentations and interests. All the activities are ‘hands-on’ and provide opportunities for children to explore, hypothesise, observe, reflect and revisit. Most involve resources and equipment that are inexpensive and easy to access, and all of them are lots of fun! The book also emphasises the opportunities that science activities offer teachers to extend thinking skills and develop conceptual understandings. To this end I have described what children might observe and the potential learning that may result from their participation. I have also listed questions that teachers might usefully ask to challenge thinking. I hope you enjoy this resource and the activities it contains, but also that you might be inspired to create your own.

Year 1 - 4 Mathematics - Complete Learning Package

2 Resources
Over 400 pages of work. This package is ideal for those who need to put together home learning worksheets. The Year 1 and 2 resource has 2 booklets. The first contains 94 pages and the second contains 120 pages. I have used Booklet A as a class workbook and Booklet B as a follow up homework book. The booklets contain parallel work so that the homework being set is at the same level as the class work being set that week. Both booklets follow the same learning sequence: writing numbers, counting to 5, counting to ten, numbers to twenty, recognizing smaller and bigger numbers, simple addition to ten, subtraction with numbers less than ten, addition to twenty and subtraction with numbers less than twenty, beginner multiplication and division by describing groups of objects in rows then using the diagrams to learn simple multiplication and division. Altogether you are getting over 200 pages of quality classroom tested worksheets. Everything is there for the teacher. No need to search for the next page in a learning sequence or to find a homework sheet. Each of the worksheets contains engaging images and the spaces for answers are specifically designed for child’s handwriting. The Year 3 and 4 resource has 3 booklets of worksheets designed to stimulate and challenge the advancing mathematician (ideally aged 6-8). There are 3 parts to this resource. Book 1 covers shapes and patterns, graphs, ordinals, counting, addition, subtraction, multiplication table and division. Book 2 covers numbers to 100, number sequences, addition and subtraction, multiplication and division and the multiplication tables. Book 3 covers number sequences, arithmetic, fractions, measurement and statistics. These worksheets are a structured, easy-to-follow series of fun activities designed to stimulate and challenge the advancing mathematician. Success and confidence in mathematics will increase motivation and enjoyment of learning and have an enormous impact on future academic achievement.
