Lots of questions are complimentary with the White Rose maths scheme. The answers are included.

This activity is aimed at Upper KS2 children and gets them to show their understanding of place value by ordering numbers using the greater than, less than and equals sign. Presented on a Powerpoint presentation, this resource provides 3 ability level tasks, aimed at children in Upper KS2, **which are displayed on the board simultaneously which means no/ minimal printing is needed. ** There are slides which explain how to do the tasks and the option of a printable spinner (needed for the middle ability task). Then they move on to a spinner activity where they create their own numbers to order and finally the children needing to show how they could represent the numbers they make using place value counters.

A resource for children to explore the addition and subtraction relationship (fact families). Starting with bar models and whole part models to show partitioning. Fact families - moving the position of the added number and the total to show in different ways and to show as subtraction is the inverse of this.

A more age appropriate expected writing passage with more errors to correct and skills to include.

Apply addition and subtraction understanding using pyramids. Pupils add blocks next to each other to create an answer above. If there is an empty box it may mean they need to subtract with the box below to find the missing answer. Great way of getting pupils to understand when they need to add or subtract in a missing number question. This starts simple and gets progressively harder. All answers don’t go above 100,000. Answers are included.
