I am trained to coordinator level in the global Reading Recovery Program, and... I LOVE being involved with children's positive learning
I am also a teacher (and mum) who is passionate about parents being aware of their child’s academic strengths and weaknesses and having the knowledge and resources to assist them, without the additional expense of outside help on a regular basis.
This is why I started DIY Tutor. Academic skills are taught in such a different way to when parents were at school. Nowadays, parents are often unable to assist their child in learning essential skills without tears and confusion. DIY Tutor is there to bridge this gap and work with parents to help them understand the skills needed now for lifelong school success and how to help their child at home, without the ongoing cost of tutoring.

Small Basic Computer Language Programming (coding) Introduction Workbook
I couldn't find anything that I felt was 'user friendly' and started simply enough for my students. So I made my own. This is a self-paced workbook that introduces the students to using a language to write a program. The skills focused on include:-
Writing messages
adding colour
introducing variables
drawing shapes
question and answer commands
input/output programming
I wrote this to target my bright students in Year 4-8, but could easily be used as a introduction to the complexity and langua

MAB Place Value Games - Win a Flat and What's My Number?
Our number system is based on 'Base 10' - that means that:-
10 ones = 10
10 tens = 100
10 hundreds = 1000
For children to be successful in mathematics, they need to have a strong understanding of this concept.
These 2 activities aim to help your child/student understand this through hands on games/activities and reinforce it through the number chart.

Place Value - MAB - Number Creator
An important concept for children to understand is that a numeral can represent a different number depending on where it is placed.
For example,
7 ones = 7, however, 7 tens = 70.
In addition to this, students need to be confident in arranging numbers to suit the purpose - ie: if you have the numbers 1,2,3 - they can represent a whole range of numbers (123, 231, 312 etc...).

Place Value Target Number Game - Reinforce Value of Ones, Tens and Hundreds
This is a magnificent game to reinforce place value concepts. Included in this package is a board you can laminate and use (and re-use) for tens and ones and a second board with ones, tens and hundreds, and instructions.
The idea of the game is to throw a set amount of counters onto the board and to work out what number you have made - the highest (or lowest if you prefer) number is the winner. This is a great educational tool because it reinforces that a single counter can represent 1, 10 or

Number of the Day - Engaging and Ongoing Chart / Activity
Simply choose a number and write it in the box, display the poster in an obvious place and encourage your student/children to have a go!
I wonder if they can do all 5 challenges with the number of the day??!!
It is important for children to be able to 'play' with numbers. This visually exciting poster is just that.... a resource to promote 'playing' with numbers.
How you use it, is up to you.
