Work for Year4 looking at the CBBC schedule and a working out how long programmes last.

Type in the maths problem and follow the TASC based steps to solve it. I used this with a Year 4 group, but it should work with any multistep problem. I cut and pasted BEAM problems into the problem box.

A PowerPoint with step by step videos introducing a class (and teacher?) to the stages of making a very simple driving game. It was made to help teachers who are not confident about introducing SCRATCH coding to a class. Load and play a step at a time. It’s quite a big file so be patient. Also available, with planning etc from http:bit.ly/sjsresources

This is a PowerPoint introducing the areas of the SCRATCH 2 screen for staff and pupils who are not confident with SCRATCH 2. It is basically the “little talk” I give year 3 pupils before they start a unit to create a driving game. I hope others find it useful…

This PowerPoint has video descriptions of how to add features to a simple driving or maze navigation game. I used it with year 3 and made this to help the teachers who were not confident or familiar with SCRATCH themselves. They were able to play the pages and then get the children designing, making, innovating and debugging their games. It is a large file, so allow time for it to download.

The objective is to estimate angles so that children can spot if their measurements in class are reasonable.

A Powerpoints with video clips talking students (and/teachers) through some basic skills in using Microsoft Word. These can be used as the lessons -play each skill to the class and get them to practise the skill. There are interactive buttons on the first slide that allow you to go straight to the skill you want to explain. These have been used successfully in a Junior school an Hampshire, UK, by teachers who are unsure of their own skills in this area and want to be able to teach confidently. http://bit.ly/sjsy3word
