The resources that I am sharing I have used successfully as a Primary Tutor to develop learning, understanding and confidence with individual students. They can also be used for group work. To keep my teaching skills sharp and to continue to develop my understanding of the curriculum, I also work as a Supply Teacher. Before becoming a Tutor I was a Senior Leader in a large Primary school holding the position of Assess Co-ordinator; I have also been a Year Leader and a SENCO.

Quick Maths Assessment

A short maths assessment focusing on place value, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, multiplication tables, finding 50% and 1 tenth. I have created this to help me quickly assess the understanding and confidence of individual students.

AREA activity

This activity not only supports students in understanding area but also gives them an opportunity to practice and recall multiplication facts. (Students may also find the perimeter). The activity can be completed by an individual student although my students enjoy playing it together as a game to see who has the largest area (or perimeter) after 6 throws of the dice. As an extension to the activity, use a blank dice and write larger numbers on it e.g 7, 8 9.

The aim of this game is to get three in a line, much like the traditional noughts and crosses game. The difference is that the grid has multiplication sums which must be answered correctly so that the player to mark that square as theirs, either with a x or a o. The grid focuses on the 7x table, however, the the blank grid can be used to add your own multiplication sums so that you can practise your target multiplication table or tables.
