Digital citizenship – emails, websites and downloads - privacy and security

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.

Pre-algebra picture puzzles - scales

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.

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).

4 Differentiated probability worksheets / investigations

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

Remainder coloring

Making the jump from learning table facts and dividing with remainders can be difficult for some children. I developed these coloring sheets to support those finding it difficult. I love that the class are enjoying themselves and not realizing that they are learning. Those who are struggling always ask for help too as they see no shame it misunderstanding a coloring in task. I hope you enjoy.
