Thinking Blocks - Bar Models

The posters have been made to print at A3 - change the page set up if they are A4. Click the thumbnail to open the download in Google Drive. You do not need to request access.

High Frequency Words

I have some children this year who would benefit from learning sight words at various levels. I have searched for the definitive NZ list for our early colour wheel books, there are many and all are different. Not very conclusive. So... I have combined them and consequently, some words are in more than one list. Never mind I thought, all that learning and repetition will make for amazing results.

Spring into Maths

I am working with a group of children on the 'Spring into Maths' programme, which is based on the work of Marilyn Holmes when she was a Numeracy Co-ordinator based in Dunedin. I needed some cards with 1-100 on them for the children to read and order - here they are.

Unfortunately I can't find a link to the original work but many schools mention them on their websites and could provide the programme itself.
