WHY Number Talks? Encourage students to discuss their answers with their peers. How did they reach the answer? What were they thinking in their head? What facts did they already know that helped them? What did they see? Number talks will get your students engaged in meaningful mathematical conversations that will increase their ability to reason mathematically as well as develop their computational fluency skills and their ability to think flexibly about numbers. When students engage in this short daily activity, they communicate with their peers in a safe environment where it’s okay to not be right all the time. It’s okay to learn from each other. They learn to discuss various strategies and the effectiveness of those strategies. They begin to take risks. Use the powerpoint to model the different ways that we can visualise a given number. This set comprises the numbers 1-2, and shows the number in a ten frame written as a word using hands domino patterns dice patterns subitising patterns clipart version of the number tally marksThe powerpoint is editable so that you can change to the text that you require, and then save as a PDF prior to printing. Ideal for students in their first term of school to establish and consolidate basic number facts. This is for use by one teacher in one classroom.

•These worksheets are designed to be an open ended activity and reflection tool where students think about their time at school, and what they wish to achieve throughout the year. •Ideally they need to would be re-visited at different times of the year for more reflection and discussion……to see what goals have been achieved, which new goals would they like to achieve, and which they would like to continue working on •The students get the opportunity to share with you what they consider to be their personal strengths, their support/safety groups and the peers that they work best with. It may be a useful tool for your planning and pairing of students for various activities •Help your children to reflect on, review, plan and achieve their targets and dreams with this handy pack of goal setting resources! The activity and display materials are perfect for use at the start of a new term and on an ongoing basis throughout the school year. •This practice of self-evaluation is considered one of the key benefits of Goal Setting as a strategy, in that it encourages students to provide evidence they believe demonstrates they have achieved their goals, while recognising the areas they need to improve in. •Goal Setting is one of the 1 High Impact Teaching Strategies (HITS) that emerged from thousands of studies around the world into teaching methodology. •The key to this strategy is to set goals and provide success criteria that help students commit to the learning, and provide the appropriate mix of success and challenge. •By explaining the connections between learning goals, learning activities and assessment tasks, teachers demonstrate the purpose of classroom tasks, making the learning visible to students. This helps students become self-motivated and use learning goals to monitor and progress their learning #Behaviourmanagement #reliefteachingsurvivalkit #reliefteachingideas #relief teachingbundle #substituteteacherideas #backtoschool #bestresourceever #subtub #substituteteacher #reliefteacher #classroomorganisation #spelling #term3 This is for use by one teacher in one classroom.

What is a thinkboard? It is a graphic organiser or tool to assist students to make connections across/ within and between different representations of knowledge. The more connections that are made: •the better the understanding of the mathematics •the more likely it will be that the mathematical knowledge is retained •and easier it should be to apply the mathematics The focus of the think board is on finding the connections between the different ways of representing a problem. How to use them •Arrange students into groups of four, placed around the Think Board’s four sections. Provide the students with one of the sections as a starting point and give them time to discuss the idea with their neighbours before deciding on what to record. •You can also work on a Think Board as a whole class or individually. Assessment •Think Boards promote discussion – look for mathematical language used. •Assess individual student’s understanding of a mathematical idea – look at all sections of the •Think Board individually to find strengths and weaknesses This resource contains both PPT and PDF versions in a ZIP file so please ensure that you have the software to open them You will recieve a set of 5 different Thinkboards for each number and an editable version so that you can create your own.

Looking for a Collaborative Easter Project??? -Let your students work together to create a wonderful HUGE poster to proudly display in your classroom. 36 pages…enough for the largest of classes. -Watch your students and colleagues as they admire the fantastic final product. -Why not use it as a backdrop to take photos of your students to make personalised Easter Cards.? I recommend printing this on heavy card to make compiling this huge poster a little easier. -This resource is designed to be a class collaborative project, with each students working on a page of the larger puzzle/poster. -This resource contains 35 printable pages that can be put together to make a large display poster for your classroom. -The completed poster measures approximately 14cm wide x 14 cm high or 4’wide x 4’ high -Use this image as a guide to see where each of these pieces go….this adds to the collaborative challenge of this project. How to Print -This resource comes in two versions (the choice is yours). Make sure when you are printing that you select full slide or fit to page to get the maximum image on each of the slides. This has been created using US letter (8.5 x 11 inches) but it will print in A4 size also. -For best results print on card stock so that the corners of the pages don’t curl and each section is easier to manage. -I highly recommend that your students use the same medium for the whole poster for consistency. In my opinion, I find crayons or pastels give an even finish whereas markers tend to give more lined effect and is more time consuming to complete -The letter labels can be done with a different medium to create a nice contrast. Markers work well for this aspect of the group task. How to Assemble -My preferred method is to use masking tape, (sticky tape can become very difficult to work with for children) or alternatively have large sheets of butchers paper joined together and paste the puzzle pieces directly onto blank paper. Some trimming may be required. What People are saying about this project “I love these collaborative posters. My students enjoy making them, they help to decorate my classroom, engage them, encourage completion of work, and keeps everyone happy too! Thank you!” “Adorable and comes out fantastic. Thanks” This is for use by one teacher in one classroom. If you would like to share with your colleagues, PLEASE purchase a multiple license. Thank you :)

These fun writing prompts are no prep, just print and go. -These images are scaffolded by using the students senses to add interest to their writing Sensory details include sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste. -Writers employ the five senses to engage a reader’s interest. If you want your writing to jump off the page, then bring your reader into the world you are creating. -When describing a past event, try and remember what you saw, heard, touched, smelled, and tasted, then incorporate that into your writing. -Sensory details are used in any great story, literary or not. Think about your favourite movie or video game. What types of sounds and images are used?

This fun and engaging game is perfect for math centres and as a fast finishing game for your class. This version features some crazy gremlins and creatures which are appealing to a range of age groups.

This is the set of factor cards. 2.Create the Target cards, by printing the targets back to back as you did with the number cards. 3.Laminate the cards for durability- You may choose to print off and laminate the playing mats. HOW TO PLAY For 2-4 players 1.Shuffle the 7 factor cards (numbers 1-12), and deal 7 cards to each player. Place the rest of the deck face down on the table. 2.Shuffle the target cards and turn over the top card revealing the target number. 3.Let’s say the target card is 36, the player to the left of the dealer will look at the cards in their hand and see if any of them are a factor of 36. 4.If that player has a factor they will place it next to the target card, for instance, if it the player has a 4, they will say 9x4=36, and then the play will go to the next person to the left and continue until a player does not have a card that is a factor of the target number. That person then has to pick up ALL of the cards that have already been played. 5.The next player will turn over the next target card from the top of the pile, and play will continue. 6.The winner is the person who manages to get rid of all of the cards in their hand first. 7.Each player MUST say the multiplication face when playing their card.

Teaching Suggestions •Show your students images of different objects. •Next to each word is a list of three ‘banned’ words •Children must describe the object without using any of the given words. •There is a 2-minute timer on each page to add some excitement to the activity. •NO HAND GESTURES OR MIMING ALLOWED •This can be played in teams, or with single players. •Ideal for use with second language learners, to encourage using a wider vocabulary and to speak clearly and succinctly to the group. •This makes for a perfect lesson filler, introductory ice breaker or as a brain break in your classes. •You have been provided with a PDF and PowerPoint version of the game so that it can be printed off onto cards and used for individual students to look at yet hide from their peers. •The PowerPoint version can be used on a variety of devices or on the IWB. ( the rest of the class need to turn away from the board while the image of the object is shown). Students can then click on the timer which is the prompt for the rest of the class to turn around and begin guessing what the object may be from the clues given by the student chosen to be the ‘describer’. This is for use by one teacher in one classroom. If you would like to share with your colleagues, PLEASE purchase a multiple license. Thank you :)

A Social Narrative is an effective way to teach children how to navigate a new situation, such as starting school or preschool. Social Narratives can help children understand what to expect at school or preschool and they can be used to support orientation, which is particularly useful when children and families are not able to be on-site.  Teaching children how to ask a question only once is a common social skill that needs to be frequently addressed. As educators we always will say things like, “wait’ or “You asked that just a moment ago.”, however we need to explicitly teach these skills. This story can be used to help children to develop skills so that they can learn to function and integrate with other children in the classroom and other social settings.

This is a powerpoint game which will help your students to develop their mathematical thinking skills with some fun problems from the farm. To get the maximum benefit from this resource, it is best to use the support worksheets provided (or their workbooks to show proof of working out).This can be used on the IWB or it can be used on GOOGLE SLIDES . This makes it an ideal resource for Distance Learning (PLEASE NOTE: the sounds will not appear in the online presentation and the fonts may appear to be different) This presentation will only work when it is in PRESENTATION MODE. It is essential that none of the slide order is changed because the slideshow is set up to link to each individual slide, depending on the students’ responses. This presentation has 1 questions- making it ideal to use as a bell ringer, or warm up activity for your math rotations. It can also be used as a stand-alone activity to focus on the area of working mathematically. Encourage your students to show their working out using some of the following strategies 1.Writing down all the information that is found in the number problem 2.Determining what ‘units’ need to be included in the answer eg there were 25 eggs 3.Draw their ideas on paper 4.Use concrete materials 5.Work with a partner to think-pair-share their thoughts 6.Discourage your students from clicking on any of the star responses until they have done the working.

This set of cards and teacher notes contains 24 Scenario cards with blank multicultural faces on them. They can be used laminated as playdough mats or to draw on with whiteboard markers. Googly eyes also work really well with this activity and a lot of fun (eye not included) You can use them as discussion starters shown on the whiteboard and discuss how each character would be feeling What would their faces look like? How would their eyes look? Would they have wrinkles on their forehead? Why or why not? How would their mouth look?I have included smaller versions of the cards so that students could use these in barrier games where one child makes a face, and then has to describe to a partner what their face looks like (there is a book or screen between them) This is a wonderful activity for talking and listening. Barrier games are a great way to encourage expressive and receptive language skills Scenarios include My best friend won’t play with me (male and female versions) My dog is sick I have a new baby sister I have a new baby brother I found $2 I am going to a birthday party I lost a tooth I won a race I lost a race My teacher gave me a sticker (male and female versions) I fell over in the playground I have no lunch I made a new friend (male and female versions) I missed the bus (male and female versions) I have a new friend I found a baby bird I fell off the monkey bars We are having pizza for tea I am getting a kitten#sizzlinsummerpk2
