This game is suitable for children practicing their times table and surface area.

This resource is an excellent christmas game to practice teamwork, adding and subtracting large numbers and logical thinking. Children work in teams or individually and use the key to fill in their grid. The teacher then calls out each square, which children will have to keep track of and raise their hand if they need to complete an action. This game can take as little or as long as you would like. It is super fun when the teacher plays along too!

This booklet includes everything you need to immerse your pupils in a project that will encourage teamwork, creativity and perseverance. This is a perfect project for Year 6 after the SATS, to prepare for the transition to highschool and have some fun. Pupils work together to design a theme park, adhering to the costing limits, as well as creating designs and advertising campaigns that have links to maths, english, science, computing and DT. There are also opportunities to extend this project into different areas, depending on your pupils needs. This project can take as long or as little time as you want. Each team has a booklet and will come up with a name for their theme park. Groups will then assign each other a job role in their company so that some children can take a lead in designing, accounting, managing, and research. In this booklet, groups calculate the cost of their theme park for one day, the income made from admissions, and the total profit of the theme park. They will then do an advertising campaign, this could include a newspaper article, a poster, a radio advert or anything the children can come up with. There is also an opportunity to design a rollercoaster, and then build a prototype of this rollercoaster, using their knowledge from DT. At the end of the project, a company is chosen to build the theme park. This is based on a presentation of their ideas and the points gained throughout the project for teamwork, communication and perseverance. Included is an editable version of the booklet so you can adapt it to meet your class’ needs, as well as teaching slides that accompany the team booklet.
