Our Maths vocabulary wall is growing even better than the one in my classroom, this is because it has a huge whiteboard so it's easy to add to. To improve my class vocabulary wall I got a big piece of brown paper and pinned to the wall to write on, works a treat.
Our Hacky Sack game is still a favourite with the students, we adjust the numbers and operation to suit our learning.
Fractions is a huge gap for not only my students but the whole senior school so I've been doing some work on them. It can be a really difficult concept to get and I tried a rich task Paper Folding from YouCubed. It did not really get the concept across very well, so I tried a few other folding activities along with fraction blocks. That lesson brought out concepts of symmetry from my ALiM group so we continues the ideas with folding paper into 1/2, 1/4, 1/8ths then paper cutting. Then we explored symmetry more with painting.
