Cup Song - Can you do this for 30 seconds or more?

Just keep rewinding it from 1:09 and practice, practice and more practice! I'm starting to crack it now.
If you can keep the rhythm going for a 30-40 seconds, I'll put you on the blog

Wow...this is so cool. Give it a go and show me.

You'll need a 6B sketching pencil or better still he's using a charcoal pencil. He's also using an artists' putty rubber which you can shape into pointy bits.

Can't wait to see what you draw.

Cool drawing lesson for you to try.

Multiplying & dividing by 10, 100 & 1000

This video really helped me to understand that it's not just about adding zeros to the end.  Watch and see, then copy the strategy. I can get you some clear plastic to write on like the guy on the video uses so effectively.

Multiplying by 10, 100, & 1000 - strategy explained.

This is a great slide show and really explains the multiplication concept very well. Please don't just tell me to add zero's... I'll need more explanation than this. 

Maybe if you feel like an expert you might want to produce your own 'Explain Everything' and blog it. Remember you'll need top quality learning to show at parent-teacher interviews. This could be something to show.
