I'm looking to do a few classes on maths through English for my 4th to 6th graders (elementary). Does anyone have any experience of this, and could point me towards some good resources? Keep in mind their level is low, so I'm not aiming too high.

Thanks

I start by teaching numbers in columns moving from two-digit, to three-digit, to four-digit numbers.

I'll start with

14
27
46
36
84

then add

514
427
346
236
184

go over them, then add more digits to the left. Next I teach them basic maths symbols, many of which they already know the English for. After that I do a maths quiz, asking ten questions with +,-,x, etc. Then I get them to add the total of the ten quesitons and whoever's first to get the right answer gets a little prize.

yeah, i do what YBS said. also i add a little geometry -- shapes and whatnot. and i like to start with a crossword puzzle on numbers to warm them up.

ACROSS
1. 6+2=___
etc.

edit: and address the thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands. it'll blow their minds.
