Addition and Subtraction teacher instructions

The "Addition and Subtraction" booklet, tailored for Year 3 students, is a comprehensive resource that includes a variety of activities specifically aligned with the relevant learning objectives for this key stage. Each activity within the booklet is clearly marked with the objectives it targets, ensuring that teachers can easily identify the most appropriate tasks for their lesson plans. Additionally, the booklet provides a detailed list of equipment and resources required for each activity, streamlining the preparation process for educators.

Activities within the booklet are versatile and can be adapted to different parts of a lesson. They are indicated by symbols to suggest whether they are most suitable for the whole class, small groups, or pairs, giving teachers the flexibility to cater to the dynamics of their classroom. The booklet suggests using the activities at the START of a lesson to review or assess prior knowledge, during the MAIN part of the lesson to reinforce new concepts, or at the END to gauge students' progress. This resource is intended to complement existing teaching materials and can be particularly beneficial for children in intervention groups who may require additional practice. The KS2Gems website also offers supplementary resources such as "Addition and Subtraction Target Boards," "Loop Cards," and "Four in Four" activities to further support and enhance the learning experience.
