KS2 (Year 5 / Year 6 - Y5 and Y6) Scale Drawings Maths Game: An engaging and differentiated game to consolidate understanding of scale drawing / scale factors in a fun way. It’s also an enjoyable way of practising times tables (if using the standard version) or decimal multiplication (if using the Challenge version). The children act as engineers, working their way around the board using scale drawings (24 cards included) and throwing a counter onto a target to discover which scale - in ratio notation - to apply each time, once they have made a measurement of the drawing. Teaching Notes and Pupil Instruction Card included.
Differentiation: Alongside the standard version there’s a Challenge Version for older/more able learners that requires pupils to deal with decimal lengths (a second set of 24 cards included) and to convert between cm, m and km, using a separate scale target board when scaling up.
I recommend blowing the gameboards up to A3 for use with bigger groups although A4 would be fine. I suggest printing the cards on different coloured paper to help keep sets separate, especially if using both versions with different groups.
The Scale Target boards are colourful so black and white versions are included should you prefer. I hope your pupils enjoy playing it. If you can spare a moment I would be grateful for a review. Many thanks.

SPIDER SPIRALS:
Each card contains 14 mental maths calculations - over 500 calculations across the whole set. ALL ANSWERS INCLUDED. They can be used by individuals - or pairs or small groups could race against each other to complete trails accurately. Great for starters, early finishers etc. It promotes speed and accuracy and is a more engaging alternative to worksheets.
Starting at the spider and working their way around in a spiral, children write each answer in the box, creating a running total. The final answer is printed next to the web in the middle of the card so they can see if they have correctly completed it. If not, children can check to see where they have gone wrong.
Answer cards can be used by the children themselves or by the teacher to see mistakes at a glance. Print and laminate if required.

Doubling and Halving 2 and 3 digit numbers printable game boards. These 10 printable Four in a Row games are ideal for Key Stage 2 (KS2), especially Year 4, 5 and 6 (Y4 / Y5 / Y6). Use as Maths starters / warm ups, early finishers activities etc. All boards (and answer grids) are included in color and black and white. The range of challenge across these games means they suit a range of grades or would be ideal for differentiation within the same class. In Scotland, it suits Second Level Maths, especially Primary 5, 6 and 7.
Includes:
A One Star game for both doubling and halving for younger or lower ability pupils - sidebars are included, featuring all answers, which children can strike through when used. However, I have also included these without the answer sidebars in case your students don’t need this added support. These games focus on lower 2-digit numbers and multiples of 10.
2 medium challenge doubling and halving boards (Two Stars), including some larger – and trickier – two and three digit numbers.
2 higher challenge doubling and halving boards (Three Stars). These feature mostly larger three digit numbers (and the halving of some four digit numbers).
Laminate and use again and again. Two players per board (or 4 if working in a pair). Printing in A3 is best for a larger group but A4 works too. Opponents take it in turns to double (or find half of – depending on which game they’re playing) a number on the board. Using a different coloured dry-wipe marker from each other, they mark the answer in the appropriate box. It works particularly well if they roll a dice to determine which column they must answer a question in (columns are numbered 1-6). If the column they’ve rolled has all been completed, they could either roll again or miss a go. If different coloured markers are not available, children could put their initial or a symbol next to their answer. First to correctly answer a line of 4 in a row – vertically, horizontally, diagonally – wins. Answer grids can be printed for students to self-check if required or they could use a calculator at the end to check if they are correct.

FOUR IN A ROW
A fun, strategic activity for consolidating this key money / financial / shopping skill. Ideal for maths lessons or Money Week skills practice. Originally designed for Key Stage 2 (KS2) Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6 (Y3 / Y4 / Y5 / Y6) but might suit others. In Scotland, it’s for Primary 4, 5, 6 and 7.
Includes:
2 PDF files
2 standard game boards (featuring different items and prices from each other)
2 lower ability boards (same as above but less challenging calculations)
Answer grids for at-a-glance checking by students or teacher
Teacher notes
Laminate and use again and again. Children work as pairs against pairs or one against one to get 4 correct answers in a row - horizontally, vertically or diagonally. It works especially well if they roll a dice to find which column they must pick a calculation from (columns numbered 1-6). If there are no questions left in a column, skip a go or roll again. Imagining that they pay for each item with £5, pupils use a different coloured whiteboard pen to record on the board the change due for each of their transactions or add an initial or symbol if both teams are using the same colour. I recommend printing in A3 but A4 is okay too. The LA versions have a star next to the title. Print on different coloured card or paper if required.
LOOP GAME / FOLLOW ME CARDS / DOMINOES
A 20-card set that can start with any card. A child reads the ‘I spend’ part first as they make their ‘purchase’ with others working out if they have the relevant ‘I give you’. Use as a game for groups or as a whole class starter or plenary (in pairs if necessary). LA pupils could be given less challenging cards so they can still experience success.

All 3 crosswords come with and without supporting word banks. The word search comes in 2 versions too, one for older or higher ability students where they can write the French words on the lines once they have found them in the word search and an easier version with the first three letters of the French words provided.

Similar to codebreaker puzzles, a maths-related word is revealed after completing calculations. Each puzzle contains a grid. Within each box is a calculation and a letter. Students circle any boxes containing errors. Then they assemble letters from the circled boxes to reveal the hidden maths word. Puzzles can be completed individually or in pairs / groups. (In the rounding puzzles students find the numbers that don’t round to specified target numbers and in some of the fractions puzzles, students must find non-equivalent fractions etc). In many puzzles there is an extension question / challenge linked to the hidden word, which in some cases may require a little research if time.
Students often forget or avoid checking their work for errors so it’s great to get them carefully checking in these puzzles. Spotting common errors may help them remember to check their own work and help them avoid common errors themselves.

Students translate numbered English words and enter into the grid. The letters in the shaded boxes, reading from top to bottom, form a French sentence. Students write this on the lines at the bottom, placing one letter on each dash (slashes separate the words), and translate it.
Choose which version you require for your students, depending on age, experience and ability: The 1-star versions have some of the letters added to the grid to support students, the 2-star versions just have the first letter of each word (or if the first letter is in a shaded box, the rest of the word has been supplied instead), while the 3-star versions (hardest) feature entirely blank grids. You can also differentiate by supplying the vocabulary support list to students who require it. This approach works especially well with the 2-star puzzles as students can use the first letter of any word they don’t know to find the French translation relatively quickly.
MORE TIPS: Students could work on these puzzles in groups or mixed ability pairs. To use again, laminate and use dry-wipe pens. Students could be encouraged to use French dictionaries or the Internet for words they do not know. They could also use them to check the meaning of the hidden sentence.

DECIMAL NUMBERS FOUR IN A ROW:
• Two sets of 54 decimal number cards featuring numbers from 0.001 to 2.01 (1 set includes numbers up to 2 decimal places, the other up to 3 decimal places)
• Two A3 Four in a Row boards. The 1 star version was originally designed to go with the cards to 2 decimal places, while the more challenging 2 star version was designed for the cards to 3 decimal places. However, both sets of cards would work with either board. It works especially well in A3, however, you could scale down the board to A4 and use the smaller card set supplied.
You could have pairs take on other pairs. Each team of two starts with a set of cards (print each set on different coloured card if you don’t have coloured printing that would allow you to print the different coloured cards supplied, then laminate to use again and again). It works well if each team shuffles their cards, puts them in a pile and takes one from the top at a time, which they then put down on the board if there’s a suitable empty box. They aim to get four of their cards in a row. Each box has a stipulation about the numbers that can be placed on it (no tenths, < 1.5, > 0.31, < 0.56, five hundredths etc). To save printing you could split a set between 2 or 3 boards as a single team won’t require all 54 cards.
The cards can also be used separately from the game boards for ordering activities.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE: The clues involve students completing French phrases. An easier, one-star version gives students the first three letters of each word that they need to write into the grid. Accents not included.

In the grid puzzle, students translate the vocabulary and enter the words into the grid. The shaded boxes should contain words to complete the sentence at the bottom of the page. Students should write one letter on each of the dashes. There’s a one-star version with half the letters filled in already, a two-star version with the first letters of each word filled in (or where the first letter is in a shaded box, other letters are provided instead), and a three-star version with a completely blank grid.
For the crossword and word search puzzle, there are one and two-star versions puzzles with the one-star being a more supported version for lower ability or less experienced students. Accents are not included in these puzzles.

An engaging alternative to worksheets, these make ideal starter, early finisher or homework activities for this time of year. Similar to codebreaker puzzles, a Bonfire Night-related word is revealed after completing mental arithmetic calculations. Each puzzle contains a grid. Within each box is a calculation and a letter. Students circle any boxes containing mistakes. Then they assemble letters from the circled boxes to reveal the word. Puzzles can be completed individually or in pairs / groups.
Students often forget or avoid checking their work for errors so it’s great to get them carefully checking in these puzzles. Spotting common errors may help them remember to check their own work and help them avoid common errors themselves.
Concepts include: Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division, Times Tables, Doubling and Halving, Multiplying and Dividing by 10 and 100, Place Value, Negative Numbers, Fractions, Percentages and Decimals (Not all concepts feature in Set B)
