A fun way to get children practising some mental maths. A set of 20 Easter eggs to laminate and hide around the classroom. Each egg is linked with an arithmetic question. When children find the egg, they can work in pairs to solve the question and record it on the included recording sheet. Answer sheet also included.
A range of different Christmas-themed word problems to solve with pictures to help support the children’s working out. Why not try something different with word problems? Instead of completing at their tables, mount these problems onto card and hide them around the classroom, children can complete using the attached record sheet. Maybe offer a prize for the first pair to find them all. A fun and educational activity for those last weeks of term.
A wide range of resources for those last weeks of school. Educational and fun activities that link to the Science, Numeracy and Literacy national curriculum. Activities include word problems, chatter boxes, animal fact files, paper chains, word searches and a reading comprehension. Enjoy!
A selection of activities linked to the theme of Spring and Easter. Activities include a range of egg hunts, word searches, reading comprehension and chatterbox templates.
Children use their mathematical understanding of shape to generate as many different ways of organising 5 squares. They are asked by a building company to find all the different ways of laying out 5 rooms for a new block of flats. Fits in well with ‘Houses’ topic in Geography. Lesson plan, photocopy pages and flipchart included.
PLEASE NOTE: this resource requires ActivInspire software
A seasonal themed investigation to model how to think logically to solve a problem. Children must work with groups of eggs to make up the target number. They are encouraged to work systematically to find the answer. This lesson includes a comprehensive flipchart and lesson plan with a photocopy sheet.
An exciting Maths investigation based on the book 'The Lorax' by Dr Seuss. This lesson explores the possible colour combinations that can be created by joining different coloured tufts to the trunks of the Truffula trees. This is a complete lesson with flipchart, lesson plan, recording sheet and photocopy sheet for children to make the combinations before recording them. Children are extended to explain how they solved the problem and consider what they would need to do in a new colour is added.
A range of whole class and individual checklists to assist with the collection of evidence and assessment of children’s achievement throughout the year. Both checklists follow the interim framework criteria which was previously used for SATs assessments and moderations. They are all editable so more objectives can be added or removed as you see fit.
Whole class checklists allow the teacher to have an overview of the whole class and identify gaps to cover further. They include working at, working towards and greater depth checklist.
Individual checklists for pupil books allow children to identify how well they are doing and what they need to work on next. Checklists are available using the exact language of the interim framework and a ‘child speak’ version.
A set of 39 Bingo activities that cover number facts for the year 2 National Curriculum. Included is a powerpoint with 39 slides to show the children and separate powerpoint with 39 slides for the teacher to read out. There is also a recording sheet.
Children pick 5 numbers or calculations and write them on the recording paper or whiteboard.
Print off the teacher powerpoint and read the numbers or calculations for children to solve the problem. Children cross off each number they have chosen if they are the answer. When all 5 are crossed off, they jump up and call BINGO. You must be the first one of the room to win!
An excellent activity to make revising key facts fun! This resources could be used as early morning work during the register or as a Numeracy lesson starter.
Topics include:
- nearest 10
- addition facts
- number bonds to 10, 20, 100
- subtraction facts
- 2,5,10 times tables
-2,5,10 division facts
- sequences
- shapes
- numbers in between
Three exciting investigations to get your children using and applying their mathematic skills to a real life problem. Children are encouraged and modelled how to find solutions by work systematically to solve a problem.
