Proficient Teaching

Edit: Now with 11 and 12 times tables. There are individual cliparts so that you can put them on worksheets etc. I have also created a couple of posters for class displays. Enjoy!

A lovely way to introduce the class to numicon. If you have a higher ability group that already recognizes the numbers 1-6, why not try them with the 5-10 bingo game? The match up picture cards are a great extra resource for spacial awareness and getting familiar with the numicon colors are shapes.

Great way to engage kids in number formation by either printing out the cards or even placing the clip arts in your own work. The children start at the dot and 'drive' a toy car around the numbers to practice formation. Great for Math centres. You can also give them tracing paper to form the numbers after practicing with a toy car.

Fun game / presentation to introduce the language of probability. It uses the terms; Impossible, Very unlikely, Unlikely, Even chance, Likely, Very likely and Certain. There is a brief introduction and slides can be removed if you wish, including rules of the game. The board has 12 interactive questions where pupils click on their choice on the interactive whiteboard, before the question is revealed. The teacher can also simply click the correct answer on the computer. There are 7 possible ans

Metacognition or learning how we learn is the buzz word at the moment. Aside from introducing this idea to your pupils and pondering what sort of learner you are yourself! you will need some sort of tool for reference in class. I have devised these posters to use prior to the class starting work. They have grown aware of their capabilities and I cannot recommend their use enough.

I’ve created these 6 worksheets for the basic fact that I couldn’t find many resources on the topics covered. Internet safety is such a broad spectrum, I have focused on the following in these. Email safety and phishing / spam - true or false, Private and personal information - table distribution, Genuine and scam websites - coloring, Computer cookies – fill the missing words, Identity theft – what is it?, how to protect yourselves and what to do when you’re a victim, The perils of free softwa

Picture puzzles are an excellent way to introduce the part – part – whole aspect of Singapore Maths, missing digits e.e. 145 + __ = 193, pre-algebra thinking and can be used to develop logical thinking with halving and subtraction. The numbers were chosen to be used in K3 4 i.e. halving 3 digit numbers (e.g. 176) and borrowing when subtracting 3 digit – 2 digit (e.g. 263 – 87). However, if they not aren’t used to these types of visual problems, they can be used much later to introduce algebra.

My class love these10 sets of fact family triangles (tables 2 – 10). I use them for mental maths activities and for lower ability groups when completing written activities. There are 12 fact family worksheets (tables 2 – 12) to use as assessment, activities or in maths centres (once laminated).

Picture puzzles are an excellent way to introduce the part – part – whole aspect of Singapore Maths, missing digits e.e. 145 + __ = 193, can be used to develop logical thinking and bring enjoyment to halving and subtraction. I've chosen the numbers to be used in K3 i.e. dividing 2 digit numbers by 3 (that are greater than 12 x 3) halving 2/3 digit numbers (e.g. 176) and borrowing when subtracting 3 digit – 2 digit (e.g. 263 – 87). The code breaker work sheet practices adding three 2 digit numb

They proved so successful with the children and the two other Kindergarten teachers; I continued to produce them for the rest of the year. Worksheets, matching games etc. are included. I use each presentation at least 3 if not 4 times a week prior to

Here is my strategy for teaching 100 number bonds. It is similar to the Big Maths clic session jigsaw addition. There are 4 PowerPoints, getting harder each time. The children love it and find it an easy strategy to follow. I have included my differentiated worksheet too.

I’ve used these very successfully with 4th grade to introduce a practical application to probability. I recommend that you use coins, dice, dominos and playing cards during the lessons but they can be used just as easily without. You may also have a large dice, dominos or playing cards that you can use to introduce the 4 lessons, or to use with lower abilities. The tasks in order of complexity are; • Coin toss investigation, • Dice roll investigation, • Dominos investigation and • Playing ca

I’ve been fortunate enough to have iPads in my class for over two years and I finally reallized that I need a set of rules that I can establish at the start of the year. I’ve produced these as I wanted to add my own ideas. I appreciate that you too might want to amend / add to these, therefore I have produced: • 13 rules that I will be using in my class (ready to print), • The same 13 rules but in an ‘I will’ format, • 17 editable posters (including blanks of the 13 I am using) and • 2 blanks

I recommend using the halving diamond as the start of each task and

15 page booklet of end of year worksheets that were written for K - 3 but are suitable for other years. Activities include reflecting, demonstrating Mathematical problem solving skills, the school day, friends, achievements, letter to new teacher etc. They can easily be used as single worksheet as an instructed task or be given to the class to work independently.

Introduce Algebra at Elementary / Middle school with these 22 ppts. The 22 presentations begin with simple picture representations and explore pupil’s reasoning skills through a variety of sized and shaped grids, representations of scales as equal and scales as amounts to reasonably compare. Most numbers can be edited on the powerpoints and blank worksheets are provided for extra differentiation (if necessary).

Days of the week balloons as A4 clip arts. Ready to print. Enjoy!

Start or end lessons with this fun interactive whiteboard quiz. QUESTIONS ARE ONLY GIVEN AS EXAMPLES. Choose your own 6 questions to test their knowledge and type the questions, two incorrect answers and the correct answer on the slides prior to the lesson. You can also delete the title text (Back to school quiz) and insert your own to re-use the presentation over and over again, for different topics. Use this quiz as both an interesting introduction or successful plenary. Pupils click
