4 Ways to make your maths working wall work
This blog post, which is aimed at primary teachers, has some useful tips on how to make effective use of a maths working wall.
Measuring Area
An animation from the BBC covering the concept of area, and different ways to measure and calculate the area of rectangles, triangles and composite shapes.
Area Perimeter Explorer
Create your own shapes with blocks and explore the relationship between perimeter and area. A useful teaching tool for demonstrating irregular shapes.
Interactive Teaching Program on Area
This interactive teaching tool can be used in a variety of mathematical contexts such as multiplication arrays, finding different shapes with the same area, nets and more. It is useful because there are different backgrounds such as dots.
Area and Perimeter
A teaching tool for demonstrating area and perimeter on an interactive whiteboard. Drag out rectangles to show different examples.
Area and Perimeter of Rectangles
A teaching tool to help the understanding of area and perimeter of rectangles. Both area and perimeter can be shown or hidden. The resource works well on an interactive whiteboard.
Monty's Maths Wall
A good game for practising a wide range of mathematical skills including multiplication, addition, reading numbers, subtraction, fractions of numbers, division, decimals and percentages and simplifying fractions and more.
Fraction Wall
A teaching tool manipulative which works well on an interactive whiteboard and is useful for demonstrating fraction equivalents and more.
Finding the Area of Compound Shapes
A good site on finding the area of a shape based on rectangles on a grid. Estimate first and then compare with the actual area of the shape. Good as an IWB demo tool for teaching how to apply the formula to compound shapes based on rectangles.
Area and Volume
A BBC Bitesize resource with 5 learner guides and 7 class video clips on how to work out an area, what is the perimeter and what is a volume. It also shows how to calculate a volume using an equation.
