There are 3 activities for a Year 2 class to use column addition to solve a problem. The lower and middle activity requires children to try arranging 2 digit numbers to make the biggest and smallest totals they can find. The higher activity requires 4 numbers to be arranged into a grid with a set of instructions to make a total of less than 100. This includes adding the columns and rows then totalling the answers together. This really challenged my HA and had lots of opportunities to practise column addition.

A smartboard presentation / activity to introduce column addition and subtraction. Included lots of interactive slides for children to get involved and complete the calculations.

A scavenger hunt for children to find items around the surrounding space that measure different lengths and heights. Measurements include mm, cm and metres. There are also some non-standard measurements to find such as 'as tall as your friend' and 'as long as your arm'. Fun activity that lasts a full lesson.

This resource requires children to compare multiplication questions using more than, less than or = signs. Each sheet has space underneath for an array to be drawn or working out. It is differentiated 4 times. A mastery differentiation also requires doubling / halving skills as well as multiplication. There is an extension word problem to further challenge children about the lengths of a pool. This extension revisits repeated addition as well as visualising a multiplication. Suitable for most of KS1 and editable.
