Printed off some of these activities to do with a home education maths group with my daughters friends... they must have been good because my daughter did them the evening before the group started! The other kids enjoyed them the next day too. The Always/Sometimes/Never activity was the most popular and provided a good reminder or introduction to concepts we don't look at often. Thank you!
Loved some of the activities in this pack. Made great use of the (1) 'What's wrong?' set of questions as they were across the range of ability for my third class and some were challenging enough for my stronger kids (2) Also loved the 'Always/Sometimes/Never' activity as it leant itself to small group work and much discussion when we came to the answers. It started a debate about whether "zero" was an even number or not - talk about switched on to lateral thinking in maths!
Really fantastic, high quality resources which include ideas for lessons on every subject. Finally, I get my weekend back! Thank you!
Really useful ideas and resources. It is always great to find quality resources that get you thinking in a different way. Absolutely terrific. Thanks.
