Money problems based on The Great Pet Sale. Children draw the coins they would need to use to pay for a pet, choosing from 1p, 2p and 5p coins in combination. (Also available is a more challenging option just using 2p and 5p coins)

Weight, length and capacity questions for children to solve practically. I spaced the questions round the room with the appropriate equipment for children to solve each question with a partner.

An activity to draw necklaces of a given length and then compare to find the longest and shortest. We used it as part of a Royalty unit alongside practical jewellery making. I asked the children to draw the line of the necklace first, then add their decorations by drawing, collaging etc. You could also incorporate repeating patterns or symmetry.

An introduction to the 5x table. Count the points on the stars and record the totals. Then mark out the pattern on the number grid. Can you carry it on?
