Teachers Pay Teachers (aka TpT) was founded in 2006 by Paul Edelman, a New York City public school teacher, to provide a platform for teachers to trade lesson plans, PowerPoint presentations and smartboard activities. Since then, TpT has grown to be the “World’s most popular online marketplace for original educational resources with more than five million resources available for use today” with a community of over 7 million teachers using TpT last year.

Despite the name of the site, you don’t have to pay for everything you download from TpT. 

Regular readers of our blog will no doubt be aware of the growing number of free animation activity and video conferencing guides we have available on the HUE website resources page. 

What you might not know is that we also have an additional selection of STEM and STEAM activity sheets available to download from the official Teachers Pay Teachers HUE store which are, currently, all free of charge.

HUE’s TpT resources are perfect for school makerspaces, summer camps, projects, classroom teaching and homeschooling. For remote learners, most of the activities are also compatible with TpT’s interactive ‘Easel‘ feature. 

With the long summer days stretching out before us, what better time to stock up on fun, educational materials to keep your own kids occupied during the holidays and beat the back to school lesson planning panic?   

Check out a selection of some of our most popular resources below and please let us know if you use any of the activities by tagging us on social media or by leaving feedback in the TpT review section.

HUE Activity Guide #1: Global Warming

The Global Warming Activity Guide aims to help teachers set up and manage a stop motion animation project about global warming and climate change. The guides have been designed to target students in grades 3-7.

The free downloadable kit includes everything you need to get started in any classroom or after-school club, including: optional activities, resources, cut-and-color templates, a storyboard and an example video.

Global warming is a key topic in schools around the world and media focus will be on the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) in November. This activity guide aims to explain the key issues in a way that children can understand and, in turn, communicate them to others.

The elements covered are:

• How global warming is caused
• The effects of global warming
• What we can do to minimize those effects

Word Searches

Who doesn’t love a word search?! These popular resources are great to have on hand for those students who always finish their classwork early, to use for subject vocabulary revision or literacy lessons.

Fun with Fractions

These are the pizza cut-outs for fractions included in the Math Fractions Activity Guide. Designed to target students in 3rd-7th grade (7-13 years old), these resources aim to engage, inspire and get kids motivated about math.

We hope you enjoy using these resources with your little ones and we can’t wait to make and share more with you! We’d also really appreciate your input in the type of content you’d like us to make, so please send us a message if you have a request or idea via the HUE website contact page.
