Historic Periods Timeline
ryanholmes91ryanholmes91

Historic Periods Timeline

(1)
I created this resources to gain a better understanding of overlap and sequence between historical periods across the world. It is intended to give an overview rather than give specific dates. Due to the broad range of time that I have tried to cover, the dates are only accurate to within a 50 year period. I do not pretend to be an expert in any of these periods, so the approximate dates are the result of research online. If you notice any major errors in these approximate dates please let me know and I will edit the resource. Similarly, If I’ve missed some key historic periods that you think would be useful to include, please let me know and I will update the resource accordingly.

Inventions That Changed The World Knowledge Organiser

(0)
This Knowledge Organiser (KO) was originally designed with a Year 3 class in mind when teaching the IPC unit ‘Inventions That Changed The World’. Also included here are a series of quizzes to be used for retrieval practice. Unlike other KOs, I would not expect students to commit all of the information presented here to memory; however, I believe it can still provide a useful point for beginning discussion and is a useful subject knowledge resource.

Here are links to video tutorials that @adaubs91 and I made to help pupils learning to use concrete equipment as they get to grips with formal methods for addition and subtraction. These videos are aimed primarily at Lower KS2 but could also be used with pupils who need to work within the concrete stage of formal methods for calculation. You can find all of the Maths tutorials I have created here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjKMtUogeo6VNVG1Aq48VCXIj0iybZnmN You can find links to other playlists I have created collating a range of videos that I have found useful with my classes here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_CoZMkbOMn8PkUcsc0_AZg/playlists.

Misconception SATs papers (2018) with intentional errors to correct

(2)
2018 SATs papers completed with common errors and misconceptions for pupils to mark and explain. Pupils often love playing the teacher, marking the work of someone else, and can often spot errors in another person’s work before they spot it in their own. You can find completed misconception papers from other years here: 2019 2018 2017 2016 2016 (Sample) @adaubs91 and I completed these papers so that most of the answers will be incorrect (based on common misconceptions) or have silly errors which pupils often make. The idea is that pupils mark each question and explain the errors that have been made. We hope these are useful for you and your pupils! I wrote a blog about why I think this can be effective process for pupils to engage with here. The completed papers included in this file are: Maths Paper 1: Arithmetic Maths Paper 2: Reasoning 1 Maths Paper 3: Reasoning 2 Grammar and Punctuation Reading
