Over the last week, my display shelf has been used for resources related to our maths topic - time. At various points during the week, it contained:
- teaching clocks
- sand timers
- stopwatches
- tockers
- books about the invention of the clock
- sheets with blank clock faces
- clock face stamps and templates
It was great to see children using the resources independently during maths lessons, for example deciding that one of the clocks would help them to find the difference between two times. Groups of children also explored the timers and tockers during morning work when they come into the classroom in the morning. I also used 'snap' cards for children to match up analogue and digital times. This was particularly useful with my lower attainers, to practise basic skills.
I am going to try a similar approach with fractions resources next week. Hopefully the resources will support children during maths lessons, stimulate discussion between children and promote the exploration of ideas.
