Okta's Rescue
Use your counting skills to save Okta and his friends. You need to count them to move them to a safe ocean. When you have finished counting use the number line to see how many you have saved altogether.
Dienes and Coins
Useful place value teaching resources for use on an interactive whiteboard. They cover hundreds, tens and ones and UK money. With some you will need to drag the Dienes blocks to represent the number you want. Please note the decimals section is faulty.
Home Time Ladybirds
Count the spots on the ladybirds and drag them to the correct houses. The maximum number of spots is 9 and children will need to subitise to work out the total on each ladybird.
100 Hunt
A simple game where you need to add 10 to other numbers on a hundred square. It is best displayed on full screen and would work well on an interactive whiteboard.
5 Fat Sausages
This is a one less action rhyme which can be played to accompany the song. Alternatively the game can be played with 10 sausages. It could be used to predict subtraction to 10 when children are learning number bonds to 10.
Claw
A game of estimation. You need to estimate where on a decimal number line to position the claw grabber to match a percentage figure. It is a good way of testing whether you understand the relationship between decimals and percentages.
Moving Digit Cards
An interactive whiteboard teaching aid for place value. It demonstrates the effect of multiplying and dividing whole or decimal numbers by 0.1, 10 or 100. The columns headed by letters are incorrectly labelled.
Countdown
A great mental maths challenge where you need to use the numbers available and the four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) to hit the target. The game does not check your solution. Works well on IWB.
Holocaust Memorial Day resources for Schools
To commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day the HMD Trust have a number of resources for educators including bilingual lesson and assembly plans, and life stories of holocaust survivors.
pH Scale
A simulation where you can test the pH of things like coffee, spit, and soap to determine whether each is acidic, basic, or neutral. It also helps you to visualise the relative number of hydroxide ions and hydronium ions in solution.
