Supporting Student Learning with Free Math Worksheets by Math-Drills

Math-Drills believes that education should be accessible to all children despite their socioeconomic situation or any other factors. Since it began in 2005, all the math worksheets on Math-Drills have been free-to-use with students learning math. The Math-Drills website works well on any device and worksheets can be printed or used on a screen.

Math-Drills worksheets are also used in special education, adult education, tutoring, colleges, high schools, prisons and a variety of other situations. Special education teachers especially like that we break down math skills and provide large-print options. Adult learners appreciate the simple uncluttered format that our worksheets offer. Tutors use our math worksheets to reduce their costs and focus on student learning. High school, college and university educators sometimes need remedial resources for students to allow them to continue with more advanced topics.

Students who practice their math skills with our math worksheets over school breaks keep their math skills sharp for upcoming school terms. Because we provide answer keys, students are able to self-assess and use the immediate feedback provided by an answer key to analyze and correct errors in their work. Our interactive (fillable) math worksheets allow them to fill in their answers on the screen and save or print the results.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Since 1998 The Poetry Zone has published around 30,000 poems by young people and has had millions of visitors - children and teenagers, real live poets and other adults - who want to check us out, especially teachers who use the Poetry Zone as a fun way of teaching poetry in their schools.

NOTE TO SCHOOLS SENDING POEMS. I'm very happy for schools to send us poems. But I do edit all poems - in the same way that poems would be edited in a book. This does take time - and so I would ask schools to limit the number of poems sent. If a school sends, say, 30 poems - one from every class member - I may have to choose a selection to appear in the Poetry Zone. Schools may, however, send as many poems as they would like for competitions..

Poo Poo Poo! Rude poems can be very funny but be warned - if you send us poems about farts, bottoms or poo they won't be appearing in the Poetry Zone. So please stop sending us rude poems.

And do please remember that all the poems you send should be your own original work. Meanwhile keep writing and sending us poems. We love to read them. Be careful and stay safe

Building it into your day

It'll amaze you how quickly your child learns at this age - they're curious about everything they see and do. You can help them to make more sense of the world and how they fit in it by talking to them about their interests and opinions. Interacting with your child throughout the day and giving them opportunities to practise what they're learning through real life situations can make a big difference.
Read more about this +

Ages and stages

Children at this age talk about past, present and future events. In reading aloud they use different tones of voice to show meaning and feeling. They use longer and more complex sentences when they are speaking. They like to try out different words and concepts.
Read more about this +

Top Tips

1. Listen to your child. Encourage them to tell you about things that interest them. Help your child to make decisions by discussing their ideas.

2. Discuss with your child how reliable information is and whether the television, newspaper or website is trying to sell you something.

3. Involve your child in everyday literacy and maths - making a list and check prices for shopping. When you are doing DIY in your house - seeing if there is enough space for a piece of furniture to fit.

4. Encourage your child to enjoy reading by having a variety of books around your home - storybooks, poetry, factual books and books about topics they enjoy like animals, music and football.

5. Listen to your child reading in short regular sessions. Encourage your child to read with expression. This will help them read more fluently.

6. Encourage your child to write in their daily lives - birthday cards, telephone messages and keeping a diary.

7. Play word games - 'Stop the bus' and 'I spy' with a letter - board games - Cluedo and Junior Scrabble and card games - Old Maid, Rummy with your child.

Excellent lesson and resource on the History of Lego with writing opportunities.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A true story about the history of Lego which can be used as a model text for writing chronological reports or biographies.

The narration of the text can be used to show directly what these texts look and sound like. Note the use of rhetorical questions in the opening section.
How paragraphs often begin with connectives, words to show when something happened or to show the passing of time. e.g. Many years ago, one day, suddenly etc.
It can demonstrate the links between paragraphs e.g: "It seemed like nothing could go wrong. But a stormy night in 1942 changed their luck.

Writing Opportunities

-Practice writing rhetorical questions for effect.
​-Children could create lego models and write instructions
-Use model to create biography for a similar figure.
-Create an advert for the early toys
-Create biography for Ole Christiansen.
-Map his mood through the events in the story.
-Compare lego with other toys such as meccano or modern games and argue why Lego is best. Maybe worthwhile comparing with mine craft, listing similarities and differences, which is more engaging? Which is best for money? Etc
-Design own lego land - use Lego to build it. Draw maps, write brochures and visitors guides. ​

15 simple science experiments for kids

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Looking for a very simple science experiment to do at home with your kids? Maybe you need some ideas for summer or a rainy day. These are the coolest science projects I found that are unique, magical and use only household items.

For me, kids activities need to have a purpose.

I love seeing the look of wonder on my kids' faces, but as a former teacher, I like to know that they're also learning something too.

That's why these cool science experiments to do at home accomplish two things:

They're very simple.

They use ingredients you already have in your own home.

Let's get started:

15 Very Simple Science Experiments

Make Your Own Lava Lamp

Remember those lava lamps you had as a kid? With just a little bit of food coloring, vegetable oil, and alka seltzer, your kids will play with this one for a while. Here's the simple DIY experiment.

Ready for some fireworks... in milk? Ya, you read that right. Watch these food coloring burst and stream before your eyes. You need to try this magic milk experiment using just milk, food coloring and dish soap.

In this cool science experiment from Look We're Learning, kids will learn about the principles of light refraction. They see the arrows on the post-it note reverse directions right in front of their eyes!

Sure, you know vinegar turns a penny from dull to shiny.. But how do you turn it green? This simple experiment from Bren Did uses simple household items and even comes with a free, printable lab notebook.

Turn your average baking soda and vinegar experiment into a colorful explosion. Happily Ever Mom tells you how this project both enlightens and engages any preschooler.

Let it go! Let it go!! I've tried glitter glue slime before and it's turned into a gloppy mess. Beauty in the Mess shows you how to create an ice colored blob Elsa could be proud of.

Need a fun rainy day activity? Use this project from StepMomming to write secret messages. I would go evil, hide all my kids snacks and then leave blank pieces of paper in its place. (evil laugh, evil laugh)

OK, of all the edible dough recipes out there, I think that this one from Little Bins for Little Hands looks the most appetizing. Ya... I would eat it.

This doesn't look impressive, but trust me, when you attach a balloon to the outside of the bottle and watch it move ON ITS OWN, you'll be stunned. This simple experiment from A Dab of Glue Will Do uses items you probably already have at home.

What the heck is hot ice? Well, it looks like ice but is hot to the touch. Now do I have you intrigued? Find the how to at Play Dough to Plato.

Plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets... how do you explain this to kids? This cool model from My Joy Filled Life made of red hots and other household items makes it tangible.

Did you know you could do this with a penny and simple lemon juice? What?!? This project from Playground Parkbench will fascinate your preschoolers and grade schoolers.

Have a muggle who wants to be a wizard? Imagination Soup has a plethora of experiments you can do by renaming the items in your cupboards as magical ingredients.

Ya... you've seen the typical volcanoes. Now, let's make one out of a lemon. Babble Dabble Do has a way to make a colorful explosion.

You know the little beads you get at fro-yo? You can make them at home with simple ingredients

Whatever you choose to do, you are bound to have a fun time and kids who crave more science!

34 Earth Day Crafts and Classroom Activities Using Recycled Materials

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Earth Day is fast approaching (April 22), though there really is never a bad time to celebrate Mother Earth. It's important to teach students the environmental benefits of recycling, like conserving energy and natural resources and reducing air and water pollution, all year long. While recycling breaks down old items in order to create something new, upcyling makes something new from an existing object in its current state. Challenge your students to create something unique and wonderful from preexisting items like magazines, plastic water bottles, tin cans, egg cartons, and more. Check out our list of the best upcycled crafts for Earth Day or any day, and give some of them a try!

1. Make wildflower seed bombs.

Give back to Mother Earth with these easy-to-make seed bombs. Blend together used scraps of construction paper, water, and wildflower seeds in a food processor, then form them into tiny muffins. Let them dry, then toss them in the ground. As the seed bombs receive sun and rain, the paper will eventually compost and the seeds will germinate.

2. Create nature wreaths.

Take your kids on a nature walk to gather interesting leaves, flowers, berries, etc. To make the wreath forms, braid together strips of old T-shirts and form them into a circle. Then attach natural items into the crevices and secure with clear fishing line or hot glue. Attach a ribbon at the top to hang your wreath.

3. Construct a bug hotel.

Create a cozy place for all the creepy-crawlies to hang out. Cut a two-liter plastic bottle into two cylinders, then stuff it with sticks, pine cones, bark, or any other natural material. Make sure to pack the organic material tightly. Then loop a piece of twine or yarn around the two cylinders and hang your bug hotel from a tree branch or fence.

4. Make a quilt.

Textiles make up a huge portion of municipal solid waste- over 16 million tons per year. Teach your kids to repurpose old material that would otherwise end up in the landfill by putting together a cozy quilt.

5. Use magazines to create a bowl.

We love Earth Day crafts that result in a practical object you can use around the house. This project is best for older students who have the patience and dexterity necessary to carefully roll their magazine strips and glue them together.

Learn more: DIY Joy

6. Create Earth moss balls.

Pay tribute to our lovely planet on Earth Day with these fuzzy moss balls. Kids who love getting their hands dirty will particularly love this craft. All you do is squish pre-soaked sphagnum moss into a tight ball, wrap it tightly with blue yarn or strips of discarded T-shirts, layer more moss and more yarn, etc., until you've created an Earth-shaped orb. Finish with a loop of yarn and hang it in a sunny window. To keep your moss ball healthy, simply spray it with water every couple of days.

7. Create a hanging garden.

Large plastic bottles become beautiful hanging planters in this green-living and green-thumb project. A great way to make a gorgeous hanging garden.

8. Upcycle trash into flower art.

Scraps of paper are the only supplies you need for this recycled-flower-garden activity and lesson. The measurement and math element is an added bonus.

9. "Grow" an egg carton tree.

Save those egg cartons! This simple project only requires a few supplies to make a recycled egg carton tree.

10. Create binoculars using paper towel rolls.

Save those paper rolls so your class can customize their own binoculars! Have a variety of paints, stickers, etc., on hand so your students can really personalize their bird watchers!

11. Create your own flexible seating.

One of our favorite Earth Day crafts has to be upcycling tires into comfy seating for our reading nook.

Learn more: Hanging With Mrs. Hulsey

12. Fashion a pop-top bracelet.

Aluminum beverage pop tops become wearable jewelry thanks to some ribbon ninja work. Put this video onto your interactive whiteboard to give your students the full 411, and then get crafting!

13. Chime the wind.

Go outside for a nature walk and gather sticks, weeds, and pickable blooms, then bring the treasures inside to be showcased in recycled jar lids. With some wax paper and string, your students can craft this surprisingly beautiful recycled wind chime.

Learn more: Hands On as We Grow

14. Paint paper bags.

Brown paper bags become eco-canvases for artwork and a perfect way to adorn fridges for Earth Day. Bonus points if you can source handled bags, because the handles serve as built-in artwork hangers.

15. Make a recycled city.

There are 60 squares on the board, and each time you press "New Board", the squares will be populated with a different set of numbers (up to the maximum you choose).
You have to select all the numbers of a certain type, and then check your answers with the buttons below.
If you got it right, it will turn green. If it was wrong, it will stay red. If you missed it out, it will go yellow.

Ideas for Teachers For some more excellent ideas for this activity see
With the same controls as the 100 Square Types of Numbers, this activity mixes the numbers up and gets pupils to look for the different types of numbers. Great as a starter, put a board up on the projector and ask students to find all the square numbers in the board. Once they think they have found them all, click on the button to instantly check.
You could get different groups to look for different numbers (inclucing multiples or factors of different numbers), and just press clear to remove the selections, but retain the same board.

Learning Rating

Overall Maths Splat engages children with the game play, but more importantly allows children to customise and select their skills, targeting learning. Well worthy of a 5* rating.

How can the Math Splat app improve learning?

Upon opening this splat math game, children are first presented with two simple choices: "level mode" or "custom mode". "Level mode" initially asks children to enter their name, this allows Maths Splat to retain all their achievements and times. This area is split into four different levels with each level then subdivided into four different skills: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division with an additional section which combines all four.

Level mode

Once a level is selected in Splat math game, children are presented with a 3 by 7 grid of random numbers along with a question at the top, to which the answer is in the grid. A correct selection 'splats' the chosen number, while an incorrect selection makes a negative sound and a life is lost. Incorrect answers prevent children from accessing the next question and are logged as an error on the apps scoring system. This ensures that children understand and achieve the correct answer and by recording the mistakes, children are able to see which skills they need to repeat and continue to practice.

Times are also recorded, allowing children to see their best times so they can use them to improve. Completing the main four skills unlocks the final section - a combination of all four skills. Once complete this section reveals a certificate, which is cleverly designed so that children able to take a photograph and then print this out. Returning to the main "level mode" children can progress through four different levels, presumably these map to different levels of difficulties; it would be nice for the developer to explain how these skill progress.

Custom mode

The second option in Splat math game is "custom mode". Within this area children are able to precisely practice a selected skill at their desired level. This area is truly customisable allowing a child, their parent or teacher to direct the level of learning. There are hundreds of possible combinations from the six main areas: the four operations, "number bonds" and "doubles". Addition and subtraction permit almost any combination of whole numbers added or subtracted, similarly the multiplication and division section allows practice any number from 1 to 20. "Number bonds" included the basics: 5-10, then 20, 50, 100. While "doubles" included 1-5 and 1-10. With the range on offer, almost every skill a child will need for their number skills can be covered. Again, times and errors are recorded at the end. From a mathematical perspective, the ability to precisely customise these skills is the apps unique feature: it allows meticulously targeted learning, perfect when children have gaps in their knowledge.

Splat Square - An interactive hundred square for exploring number patterns. The children love the splat sound!

What could the Math Splat app improve on?

Finally, there are limited additional buttons within the homepage: music; rate; and further apps. It should be noted, that as an adult using the Splat maths system, the transition between pages felt time consuming and the developer might consider how to speed up these, however, as a young child using the system they might not notice this. Additionally, the developer might also consider further features to prolong engagement, for example, a multi-player approach using different colours for each child.

Arna churtha le chéile ag CCEA i gcomhpháirt le Nerve Centre agus an Culture Company
