How to Make the Most of Your Mental Maths Posters

1. Print the posters and display them in your classroom for students to reference when doing independent work.
2. Print the posters, slip them into clear sleeves and use them in your guided groups as a reminder.
3. Print the posters, slide them into a clear sleeve, and hang them on a ring as a reference tool for a maths group. 

We’ve also come up with bonus ways to turn posters into interactive tools that really make your lessons stick! 

📂 Place copies in students’ homework folders for reference. 

💻 Provide posters as digital resources for virtual students. 

🧠 Test students’ memories by showing them the poster, then hiding it and having them tell you what they remember.

✅ Incorporate posters into your lesson wrap-up: students write on a sticky note what they learned from the lesson and place it on the poster.
