Love these excellent resources. The variety is super, the different levels of work are great for stretching pupils. The resources are beautifully laid out and the pupils loved the robot tasks especially.
Excellent set of resources to make learning about area and perimeter more fun. My class loved the robot activities and also designing their own playpark. Have recommended to other teachers.
Great resource. Simple explanation of concept, supporting pictures and the activities are fun. Thank you
Looking forward to using these resources as a relief teacher this week (the "When do we use?" and the robot activity). Love your work!
I love the creativity supporting the information helping students understand the concepts. The pack has lovely posters used as reference for students while working on skills. The variety of the resources are great. Thank you.
It is difficult to teach area and perimeter to third graders who might not be fluent in multiplication yet. This pack was helpful with the way these concepts were explained with useful pictures to explain and show what was going on.
Yet again another amazing resource pack! Suited my class off autistic learners who are ks3 but working at ks2 level.
This pack was really helpful during both lockdowns and teaching in the classroom. It is varied enough that the learning and activities can be adapted for students of various levels. It both supported those who needed support and provided challenges for those who were ready.
I have been using this pack since 2017. The students love this pack. When I prepare the English classes I usually work with my friend Teacher Theresa who gives Art and Geometry classes. The pack helps children a lot, because sometimes they have difficulty in visualize and when they see the examples and the design of the activities, it is much easier.
I usually work with fourth and fifth degrees.
While some good resources no details of age group or stages and the search tool does not help either for this or any other products.
Thanks for your review 'L'. We try to include a range of resources in each pack so that there is something for a wide range of age groups and ability levels. You can then choose the resources that are most appropriate for your children. We can certainly think of ways of highlighting age levels more clearly within the packs though.
