Kelly’s Tutoring

And we’re straight back to it after a couple of weeks off!☀️👩🏻‍🏫✍️

My hardworking little bees 🐝 have enjoyed playing games around times tables using lolly sticks, cards and ‘mathdoku’ 🤩✨

End of term for my lovely students so we’re celebrating with a games lesson on this boiling Friday afternoon! 😎☀️🎲 🙌🏻

Sports Day Problem Solving 🏅🕵🏼

I’m always looking for ways to challenge my students and this was a popular activity this week!

✨ Conversion between mm, cm and m
✨ Applying knowledge of fractions to real life
✨ Recording and interpreting data

We love a puzzle in maths! 🧩 It’s always great to see children so engaged in an activity they can’t stop until they’ve found the solution! 🤩🧐

Today we explored different areas of maths through fun games and exciting challenges!🕵🏻‍♀️

I’m so proud of my hardworking bees! 🐝

Today we’ve explored different activities from problem solving with dominoes to various other games!🌟

Ready to play Fractions BINGO on this rainy Friday afternoon!☔️✨☔️

✨Proud tutor moment! ✨

Sometimes it can be difficult to persevere when a task becomes tricky … but my student tonight worked so hard to continue and not give up! Eventually, we found a new strategy which helped to find the solution! 👍🏻

What a little superstar! 💫😊

Another day, another game! ✨

Great for:

✨Promoting word recognition

✨Developing matching and memory skills

✨Developing early reading skills 📖

Testing out my new Times Table game this afternoon! ✖️💫🤩

More problem solving this afternoon; use the inverse operation to complete the pyramid!➕➖

Ready to go on this sunny morning! ☀️✍️

Often, worded problems can be complicated and confusing for children which causes panic and skipping questions…

Below shows a diagram which one student drew to work out the mass of each shape, using previous given information 😊🧐👏🏻

Revising past papers can be tedious… so why not cut up the questions and roll dice to help choose which to answer?! 🎲✍️✨

So proud of my hardworking bees 🐝

One of my students specifically asked to learn about this story in our Guided Reading lesson this week…so that’s what we’re going to do! 😊🐰📖

The beauty of tutoring children 1:1 is how lessons can be tailored to each individual student! 👍🏻

We’ve been busy exploring Angles this weekend - using a fun Alien game to make it fun! 👾 👍🏻

✨We first revisited the different types of angles and used that to compare them.

✨We then used a protractor to draw and measure in degrees 🧐✏️

My busy bees have been working through maths assessment papers this week! 📝 🐝

Working 1:1 with my students, I can clearly see the methods and strategies adopted to answer each question 🧐 ( and of course, encourage children to read the questions carefully!)

As always, I’m a very proud tutor this week! 😊🌟

A great Saturday spent with my hardworking, busy bees 🐝🌟👩🏻‍🏫

Most lessons today were spent working through both arithmetic and reasoning practice assessment papers 📝🧐
