I have developed these boards through my work with students with difficulties in maths including dyscalculia. I have found these structured guides support learning and allow processes to be understood. They aid students to learn using this scaffolding approach, which can be taken away when they feel more confident. These boards are ideal for laminating so they can be used repeatedly. The pack contains grids to support: Long multiplication for 2 by 2 digits Rounding numbers to the nearest 10,

This presentation demonstrates how to structure problems by tabling information and using scaling. This method can work for a number of word problem including ratio questions. It uses colour to link information and breaks down questions step by step, with explanation throughout. The presentation can be paused for students do calculations at each step. The questions become progressively more challenging throughout the presentation but the method remains the same. It is suitable for younger stud

A collection of differentiated structured worksheets each with annotated examples to guide rounding to 1, 2 and 3 significant figures. Including examples of rounding when zeros are in front of a decimal number and when zeros are included within the decimal number. Clearly laid out, with guides to show which number to round.

Differentiated structured worksheets showing number lines to guide rounding to 1 and 2 decimal places. A clear example is given on each sheet. Lines are provided to assist students to consider what decimal places the number sits between. Then they can think what number sits in the middle. Finally they can place the number given on to the line to work out which it rounds to.
