Clever Bee Resources

Average Rating4.71
(based on 35 reviews)

After 19 years at the chalk face, I have a very good idea of what works and what doesn't. The resources in my shop have all been designed and used by me throughout my career and have been tested on live children (none of whom were injured in the process) If you'd like to see a resource I haven't yet uploaded, please let me know as I probably have something useful tucked away (but bear with me, as I still work full time and we all know how many hours that means!)

KS2 Maths Intervention Games and Activities: ADDITION & SUBTRACTION

Aim: for the child to recognise number bonds to 100 Aim: for the child to make a target number using addition Aim: for the child to choose numbers to complete an addition calculation Aim: for the child to add correctly to complete a picture.
