This pack gave excellent and extensive coverage of the topic. It was fun and engaging for my students. I adapted it to cover all the levels of ability in my classroom. Thank you for this help.
Brilliant resource as are all the packs. Membership is well worth it. Many thanks
I am so happy that I bought a membership to this website! It has saved me hours and hours of finding materials. This pack has been very helpful for my Grade 2 students. I found that the material was suitable for my students and allowed me to challenge them a little more too.
I displayed the relevant pages on my working wall for the children to read while they were lining up. Children seemed to enjoy the different characters and looking at the pictures.
Amazing pack - it really inspired my son to learn more about 3d shapes and now he can spot and name many of them in everyday settings. Every download we have used has been a roaring success, such a great website. Thanks guys, keep up the good work 🙂
Currently using this pack with my 11 and 8 year old boys (we are home educating), who are very much enjoying the activities included. Some of them are rather reminiscent of Minecraft I believe! It also ties in well with the area and perimeter & angles packs, which we are planning on using after this. Thank you for the effort put into making it all so engaging and interesting.
This pack like many others contains such a variety of activities that there is something for everyone, especially at KS2 level. The resources are bright and colourful which makes a subject such as maths really engaging and fun! The possibility to print many of the resources is a great bonus and fantastic time saver for busy teachers! Thank you for your hard work and creativity in consistently producing quality resources!
I have used resources from this pack for the past few years and it's fantastic. The resources suit a variety of ages and abilities so it's very easy to differentiate when needed. The children are so motivated by the hands-on practical templates. Another super SUPER RESOURCE! THANK YOU!!!
I absolutely love this website and all the resources it provides! It saves me time and effort knowing I can come to this page for useful resources - instead of sifting through junk on the internet! Most importantly, the kids love the resources and it is helpful to their learning!
My boys in 3rd class loved this last year. A variety of resources to help teach the topic well. I have the same class grouping this year and look forward to using this resource again.
