I designed these maths thinking boards to originally be used with Seesaw. But after thinking about the resource, I thought they would be awesome to use in maths both online and offline. These have different sections for students to show their learning and strategies to solving problems. These thinking boards are for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division - each with key sections to show different ways of answering the question. Today we used an addition one in peers. Students worked together to solve the problem and shared their learning in any way they wanted with the prompts. It is a great way to practice number sentences and number stories too.

This is a great way to get students talking about maths, and work great alongside number talks. Check out my previous website post unpacking number talks here. This resource is free for you to download from my teachers pay teachers store. Or head over to the VIP section of my website for the pdf (and loads more) for you to get today! 
In this pack, you will receive maths prompts that vary up to 20. Each prompt has the answer at the top and corresponding picture clip art to help students create a number sentence and/or number story to solve the answer. These can be displayed on your TV or projector for students to view, and then students can solve it any way possible. My students complete this in pairs which are mixed ability so that each student has a place in the activity.

How often do you just use google forms for gathering information or a survey? There are actually so many different ways you can really utilise and make learning interesting with google apps - especially google forms. Check out my most recent website post showing you how you can use google forms to create your own adventure story.  This post will quickly show you how you can create your own exit slip or interactive practice form with maths and your times tables! Students could use this as a follow up activity, practice time activity or exit slip to reinforce their learning that is done with the teacher. To begin with I chose a video for students to practice their 5 times tables before beginning the questions. When ready they can click next. You then create each question that you would like as a new section. You use the multiple choice feature and fill in the answer/wrong answers that can be chosen from. Once you have done this then you need to turn on the 'go to next section based on answer' feature underneath each section. Once you have turned on the feature, it will show a drop down box of all the options and you can then choose where you want the question to go. This will then take your students to either the next question, or a quick video that will show them how to work it out. I create quick seesaw videos showing my working out on how to figure out the question.
These google forms can be as short, long or complicated as you like or have time to make. But these are great fun and an engaging way to get students involved.
Have a go at my 5 times tables google form here! **Thanks to Jacinta Keenan for the idea.  I always love using technology in engaging ways throughout all my lessons. One great app that integrates devices in a collaborative yet exciting way is Kahoot! Kahoot is a hands on, engaging and interactive app/website that provides game based quizzes for students to play. The teacher (or student) sets up the game and students join using a pin. They can play in individual mode or team mode. Students can choose a nickname or team name and are ready to play!
Today's sunday spotlight is a quick video showing how you can use exit slips in your class. These are a great end of lesson way for students (and the teacher) to view how the student found the learning and check if they need some more support. There is also a self-reflection face at the bottom for students to fill in. This provides further insight into the lesson and how they found it. I use these for maths at the moment and have some pre-made (like the video example) with some questions linked into their learning outcomes. I also have blank ones where I will hand write the learning intention on and have students just write their own evidence on the maths exit slip dependent on the lesson activities. You can create your own exit slips very easily, or use my templates! Find them both below! Maths Exit Slips

Maths Exit Slips Maths exit slips are a great way to get students to reflect on their learning, whilst showing their working out. Students can use these in group time, after group work or independently to reflect on topics or areas of study you do in maths. I use mine to align with each PR1ME chapter so I can get a feel for how students are working through with the topics. These exit slips have: -name -date -i can... -show your working -smiley face reflection There are also two types of exit slips. Make your own Maths Exit Slip

Make your own Maths Exit Slip This is an interactive version of my maths exit slip where you can add your own activity to complete and learning intention. I have mine set up to have a space for sharing their learning in the middle and have the learning intention on the right hand side. This resource allows you to add your own text boxes and learning intentions to fit your class needs. This resource will be a pdf with the link to the google drawings resource. You will be able to make a copy of the template to add your own things into it. On the weekend I was fortunate to attend the annual Maths Conference in Auckland led by the Maths Association. This is always a great opportunity to learn from others and hear some new ideas when implementing maths in class. This maths conference had me leaving with two main ideas that I want to share with you.
