How to identify a SPAM email (whiteboard lesson plus worksheet).

(0)
This is a Notebook document explaining how to spot SPAM emails. It includes multiple examples to show on the board. Children can talk in talk partners and discuss how you know these emails are spam. Children then complete an activity in pairs which gives them four emails and asks them to note down anything they can spot which would tell you it is a fake email. Everything you need for a computing lesson on SPAM.

Real life maths involving money (differentiated).

I have created a bank of 15 different items that can be purchased from different supermarkets. Underneath is a price which is differentiated three ways (red is lower ability, yellow is middle ability and green is higher ability). These can be easily edited to suit the needs of your children. They can be used for addition, subtraction, worded problems and open ended real world challenges.
Times Table (multiplication) games. A complete set!

Times Table (multiplication) games. A complete set!

(0)
This is a fantastic set of resources for practicing times tables. They are great for quick activities at the start of lessons or in quick maths slots. The children will role two dice and add the digits together. They will then multiply this by a given times table and place a O or X on the corresponding square. The aim of the game is to get 4 in a row. Children are able to block each other if they happen to role the number required. Game can be played in twos, however alternative versions are possible such as three in a row with three or four children using a different colour pen each. An excellent, fun way to revise times tables!

Near addition and subtraction mental maths board game.

(0)
This is a board game to help the children practice the mental math skill of adding and subtracting near amounts. For example 23+29 = 23 + 30 - 1. Children can play in pairs or groups using a counter and dice to move around the board. If a question is correctly answered, they can remain on that square. If it is incorrect, they must go back to their current square. Other players in the group are responsible for checking each players answer.

A range of maths problems focusing on how many ‘altogether’ (addition) and how ‘many more’ (subtraction). Questions are differentiated three ways with Higher ability doing four digit numbers, middle ability doing three digit numbers and lower ability doing two digit numbers. All worksheets include pictures to make them eye catching and the answers for easy marking. Also available as part of a bar model lesson (see my other resources).

Up-leveling sentences (with adjectives, conjunctions and fronted adverbials).

(0)
This is a complete lesson which I have used many times (including during observations). I have always received positive feedback and the children write excellent sentences with skills they can transfer into all subjects and future lessons. The lesson revolves around taking a basic sentence and adding 2 adjectives, followed by a fronted adverbial and finally a conjunction. Included is a whiteboard covering the entire lesson, the planning, starter tasks and activities and a differentiated (higher, middle and lower) main activity.

Library challenges (could be a display or for a lesson).

Library challenges (could be a display or for a lesson).

(0)
This is a set of 12 different challenges which ask the children to locate a book in the library based on a certain criteria. Great as a display or can be used as a lesson to help the children fully explore the books on offer. I have used this on a visit to a local library and in our school library. Both have worked great. If needed, children can record the name and author of the book they have found onto the back of each card and even draw a sketch of the book.

Charlie and the chocolate factory themed guided reading/comprehension/shared reading game activity.

(0)
This is a board game using the first few paragraphs of the scene in which Charlie and the guests enter the chocolate factory for the first time and see the chocolate river. The children roll a dice and move counters around the board. If they get a question correct, they may remain on the square. If their partner disagrees and can prove it they go back to the previous square. An engaging way to explore guided reading skills.
Fairtrade chocolate bar lesson including production chain.

Fairtrade chocolate bar lesson including production chain.

(0)
This lesson examines the amount of money everyone in the production chain receives for the sale of a £1 bar of chocolate. The children view the IWB and look at the different roles involved in production such as farmers, cocoa buyers etc. The children then have a blank chocolate bar. They will cut this bar to represent how much they believe each person SHOULD get after listening to their roles in the production chain. You will then reveal how much they actually earn. This creates an excellent shock factor for the children as they usually believe the farmers should get a high amount only to find out it is virtually nothing. Children then have another blank chocolate bar and this time cut them up to show what they actually get. Compare the two and discuss this is why we have Fairtrade. A fantastic lesson!
Fantastic real-life Maths easily differentiated Tesco, Morrisons, Asda.

Fantastic real-life Maths easily differentiated Tesco, Morrisons, Asda.

(0)
These are fantastic resources to teach maths in a real life way. Each page has five different shopping items from three different supermarkets. They can be used to compare the cost of items at different shops, find out how much more shopping would cost at one supermarket than another, calculate percentages or fractions if there were discounts at each shop etc. I have used these for many different lessons and the children always love it. It is even better if you can stick them on the walls and allow the children to walk around and find different items. I have left them blank so that differentiated prices can be added to suit the needs of your children.
