Ways to Use a Visualiser in the Classroom
Here are some great ideas for using a visualiser in the classroom. They are becoming more common as they allow teachers to display a single object or small area to an entire classroom.
Money Two-Step Problems
Two-step word problems involving money. Calculate how much change is given when 2 or more items are purchased. Designed for use as a teaching aid on an interactive whiteboard.
Magic Verbs
Choose a better verb to make the sentences more interesting. The characters are animated to match the verbs. The game is lends itself well to starter or plenary sessions displayed on an interactive whiteboard.
Hit the Button
Quick fire questions on number bonds, doubling, halving, times tables, division facts and square numbers against the clock. Brilliant for improving mental maths and calculation skills, but particularly times tables either up to 10 or up to 12 times.
Compare Decimals
Draw greater than and less than signs before the time bar runs out to compare decimals.
Starfall - Learn to Read
A good learning to read site. There are good quality games and animated stories which children can interact with. The children can click on words to see what they say. Excellent for learning the sounds the letters make.
Tudor Clothing from Tudor Paintings
Examine Tudor paintings closely to gain an insight into Tudor life and costume.
Find the Start Time
A maths game where you need to find the start time after a given time interval. Find the correct time on an analogue or digital clock. Lots of choice of level, including: subtracting 1 hour, multiples of 5, or 10 minutes and more.
The Great War
An exhibition from the Public Record Office on the First World War. There are six different investigations which tell the story of the war. Original sources have been chosen to highlight the role of important events. Excellent!
The First World War
This site from the Imperial War Museum is bursting with information, organised in a variety of different media, about the First World War.
