Maths Warm Ups Interactive PowerPoint - Year 2
A PowerPoint providing a series of warm up activities for Year 2 students across the curriculum.
This teaching resource is an interactive PowerPoint which provides a series of mathematical warm up activities that cover areas across the curriculum. You can do these quick activities to help warm up for a particular focus lesson, or use them to break up the day to keep students fresh for learning. Some activities supply instructions for interactive games and other are interactive templates which you can display on your classroom whiteboard with a projector.
Each activity has direct links to learning goals in the Australian Curriculum.

DO YOU HAVE WARM UPS FOR YEARS 4 TO 7 IN MATHS & LITERACY. I DID A SEARCH BUT NOTHING CAME UP..
Gabrielle Hambleton · Feb 27th, 2020
Hey Gabrielle, thank you for reaching out to us. After creating these resources,, we adapted them to become Daily Warm Up PowerPoints. These are available from Foundation to Year 6. Each one includes ten weeks worth of daily warm up activities in literacy and numeracy. We are currently creating three more for each year level.
You can find them by following this link:
