All resources designed by a fully qualified Graphic Designer (BScHons) with a PGCE in education. I have combined material for 2 lessons on 2D shapes. The first presentation talks about and identifies properties of 2D shapes including: edges (curved or straight), corners, symmetry, right angles and the key points of quadrilateral shapes. It is a visually stunning PowerPoint which helps to keep children engaged. With this lesson I have included 2 worksheets. One for lower ability (LA) and one for

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_ZHOePgTRQ This is a really fun problem solving lesson. You'll need a bag of match sticks so that each child can participate. We've all been challenged by someone who laid some matchsticks down and told us we could only move a certain amount to achieve a goal. Well, this PowerPoint contains 16 of these puzzles and their solutions! Each slide shows a number of matchsticks laid out in some form of shape. You the teacher will tell each child to copy that shape.

Two sets of high quality images detailing the times tables (0x to 12x) for you to print whatever size you require. The first set have the answers - these are best suited to printed on A3 paper and laminated to be stuck on the wall. The second set have blank squares instead of the answers - these are best suited to be printed on smaller sized paper for times tables revision. They can also be laminated and children can then use dry wipe markers to revise their times tables. When creating these ima

This PowerPoint has a uniquely fun way of demonstrating halves and quarters to your class. It relates halves to the 2 times tables, quarters to the four times tables and allows for plenty of input from the children...all the while giving you the educator complete control of the lesson. The lesson takes children on a journey as Shaggy and Scooby work out how to shar

Differentiated doubling and halving worksheets for year 3-4. 6 written questions per page with adequate space for children to work out their answer. Lower ability (LA) doubling numbers up to 48 - 6 questions. Medium ability (MA) doubling and halving even numbers up to 48 - 6 questions. Higher ability (HA) doubling and halving odd and even numbers (up to 4-digit) - 12 questions. Both .word (editable) and .pdf available for both. I made these for a composite Year 3 (P4) and Year 4 (P5) class, and
