This is a fantastic complete lesson pack which allows children to actively engage in Maths. **Included in the pack: ** White board resource Teachers instructions & answers Posters to put around the room Three differentiated question sheets. The children move around the room (or outside space) to answer differentiated (higher, middle and lower) maths questions. Once they have found the answer, they will jot down the accompanying letter. Theses letters, when unscrambled, will make a Christmas themed phrase. **Subjects covered: ** Halving and doubling. Number Sequences. Mental addition and subtraction. Rounding. Multiplication and division. Fractions. Decimals. Activity Instructions Place the posters around the room (or playground) and give children a question sheet each (or in pairs/groups). The children will answer the differentiated questions. Once they have found the answer, they will look around the room for the poster displaying that number and note down the corresponding letter. (Note: Remind children that some letters may appear twice.) Children must answer all of the questions and collect a total of 13 letters (some letters are red herrings!). These letters must then be unscrambled to find a hidden Christmas message.

Here we have 6 addition word problems. I have split each one so they can be cut and stuck into books easily. These are 2 digit add 1 digit, however could be quickly adapted to suit any numbers. There is also a challenge question at the end to extend those children who finished early.

This is an activity pack including 6 sheets of questions, answers, IWB file, self-assessment tool and planning. I have had very positive feedback using this lesson in observations. Everything you need is ready to go. Children will work in mixed ability pairs to answer questions on the following topics: multiplication division addition subtraction rounding to the nearest ten rounding to the nearest hundred word problems. Each time the children answer a question, they will select the matching answer at the bottom of the page and record the word shown. Once they have collected all of the words, they will see a hidden message. This is a clue to help them eliminate different suspects until only one remains - this person is therefore the murderer of Sleep Bear! It can easily be adapted to make it easier/harder by altering the questions and answers at the bottom of the page. A really fun, engaging lesson which works well as a standalone lesson for more able children or can be broken up into several lessons for those needing more time. All children will be fully engaged in learning, whilst also developing their vocabulary and explanation skills when helping their peers.
