Monday Made it

Hi everyone, 

I'm back with a very exciting idea to share with you all. Thank you to those of you who sent messages requesting the Finger Twister game from last week, I hope you enjoyed it and that everyone is getting great use out of them. This week I am zoning in on Tables in Mathematics and I promise you won't be disappointed.

This idea caught my eye while I was on Instagram and came across this video! As you know I am in the Resource room this year and Gross Motor exercises are an integral part of our daily routine.Lately I find my pupils getting a little tired of how we practice our exercises so when I spotted this I couldn't wait to share it with them.

I went on to Miss5th's Teachers Pay Teachers page and was delighted to see she had a free addition one. I knew this would be far too easy for my 4th class students but trialled it with first and second class students and they loved it. Definitely worth the download, however the resource is not editable. So I began tweaking and creating one to suit me.  Class teachers set new tables to revise weekly so an editable template is perfect to work with and to have on file.

This week fourth class are reviewing ÷7. After a discussion on which exercises they would like to review this week I made a start on the PowerPoint. The exercises they picked were star jumps, squats, windmills and hug yourself. So each day they will be practicing their Gross Motor skills but also be getting a chance to review rheir tables for their Friday Tests!

Has anyone used something similar in their classrooms?

If you have any questions or comments don't hesitate to get in touch!

Until next time,!

Niamh.

Monday Made it

Hi everyone,

I hope you all had a nice break over Easter and enjoyed being back in the classroom today. Over the last few days I was busy scrolling through all the amazing ideas on (yep you guessed it) Pinterest... I am sure I am not the only one who clicks on a pin and then 50 pins later you find yourself saying .... eh is that the time!!!

Which lends itself to the title Monday Made It! I am going to dazzle you all with some awesome pins I thought were worthy of making... laminating ..... and having my lovely students try out.

The first one which is located on my Pinterest board here is all about Numbers :)

Number Sense

Everyone needs to know this was not my idea and a round of applause goes to  Hodges Herald for her creativity(",). If you click onto her page you can grab this freebie (brightly coloured paper not included).

                   

I tried it today with one of my students who is struggling in Maths. I modelled and practiced a few wit her and she really enjoyed them. I am looking forward to seeing her progress and practice essential math skills om a daily basis.

What do you think of the resource?

It would make an excellent Early Finishers activity in any classroom.

Enjoy :)
