Inside Mathematics

• Counting with coins

  

  Pupils will have been working on identifying and using rhyming words in their own language: in these activities learners complete poems and play a memory game using rhyming words in English. The worksheet also helps pupils recognise the structure of simple poems and reinforces basic vocabulary words such as ’kite’ and ’train’.

• Data: Bar and line graphs

  

  A worksheet and lesson plan to help teach pupils to interpret and draw their own graphs.

• Fractions and percentages

  

  A lesson plan with fun, interactive exercises that use students’ daily activities to teach fractions and percentages.

• Geometry

  

  A lesson plan with activities to introduce angles, shapes and other basic concepts of geometry.

• Number sequences

  

  Encouraging your pupils to recognise sequences and patterns in numbers and words is important for developing their learning skills. In these worksheet activities, pupils identify patterns to complete number sequences and use their knowledge of times tables to colour the squares a chart.

• Plotting and interpreting graphs

  

  Make maths exciting by linking graphs to favourite activities such as swimming and playing football. In this lesson plan, pupils interpret a graph to complete sentences and read a paragraph to fill in their own graph. Helps consolidate important action verbs and the present continuous. Included in the teacher’s notes are suggestions for a fun warm up game.

• Probability

  

  A lesson plan to use coins, dice and different coloured sweets to teach students how to determine probability.

• Sums

  

  A worksheet with activities to make addition, subtraction and multiplication fun while reinforcing the numbers 1-100. Organise the pupils in pairs so that they can discuss and help each other, or set up the activities as a class competition to increase the challenge.

• Telling the time

  

  Pupils need a lot of practice telling time from an analogical clock. In this worksheet, young learners read a series of clocks to complete sentences, and match clocks to daily activities such as ’bedtime’ and ’playtime’. The teacher’s notes include a fun survey idea to further reinforce the lesson.

• Time

  

  In this lesson plan, pupils study the different units of time, from seconds to millennia, and practise calculating and telling the time.

• Venn diagrams

  

  How many pupils are afraid of snakes but not of spiders? What share of the class likes strawberry ice cream? In this lesson plan, pupils read a text then complete a Venn diagram and pie charts. Warm up activities and project ideas engage young learners by encouraging them to discuss their own fears and favourites.
