Thinking Blocks - Bar Models

Thinking blocks are a great way to make visual representations of word problems in order to understand the problem and determine the mathematics required to solve it. 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.

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.
Please link back to my blog if you add to your blog, website or web collection - thanks.

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.

Calendar Maths

We are counting down the school days until the 100th day when we will have a celebration day.  For a maths warm up we record the number on this chart and complete the activities.  The second poster is for larger numbers and I use this after the first 100 days.
