This worksheet is for use towards the end of a maths unit where the children start to make their own word problems for others to solve. The worksheet is split into two sections.
The first part has a space for children to write their facts and question and another space for drawing a small illustration related to the problem.
The second has spaces for using a bar model or equivalent to help determine how to solve the problem and then spaces for the calculation and answer.
This subtracting fractions worksheet is designed to be used online as a Google Doc, however it could still be printed out and used that way.
It’s made up of 17 questions plus a bonus. Each question involves subtracting fractions of the same denominator. The calculations get progressively more difficult and the final few questions involve answers which require a written fraction name instead.
It’s great for use in Google Classroom where every child gets their own copy. You can then easily check their individual progress live and then check their results.
This adding fractions worksheet is designed to be used online as a Google Doc, however it could still be printed out and used that way.
It’s made up of 17 questions plus a bonus. Each question involves adding fractions of the same denominator. The final 6 questions involve either answers that are more than a whole and answers which require a written fraction name instead.
It’s great for use in Google Classroom where every child gets their own copy. You can then easily check their individual progress live and then check their results.
This worksheet could be printed out, but was designed to be completed by children online in Google Docs. It’s made up of 4 questions, a bonus and an extension task.
Each question involves a table shape with different numbers of cells shaded different colours. Children have to identify the fraction of each of the colours shaded. It builds in difficulty up to where the children then have to place the fractions in order of size.
The bonus question involves ordering fractions with different denominators.

This worksheet is designed to be used as a Google Doc so children can complete it online, however, it could also be printed and used that way instead.
It’s made up of an example and 10 different clocks, for which the children have to tell the time as both numbers and words.
Before the questions are several pointers which will help with telling the time properly. This question sheet is a good follow up to my other worksheet on telling time to five minutes.

LO’s: I can tell the time before and after a given time. I can tell the differences in time.
It’s made up of two parts…
Part A involves two clocks (a mixture of digital and analogue). One is the start time and the second is the finish time. Children have to find out the difference in times. An example is given at the start.
Part B involves a series of word problems. Children have to find out how much time before or after a given event. The worksheet finishes with a riddle bonus question.

I designed this worksheet to review the basic methods of bar modeling and used blocks from the Super Mario games to add a little more interest for the children.
The worksheet is split into four parts. Each has a question, a bar model and a space for the children to do their working and answer underneath. All the questions are also Mario related and use relatively simple and round numbers.
The objective is to encourage children to use bar modeling so they can help visualise what is required in a word problem, ultimately to help them choose the correct operation and solve the problem.
Here are the four parts and the required operations for each…
a) Part-part whole (addition)
b) Comparison (subtraction)
c) Equal Parts of a whole (multiplication)
d) Equal Parts of a whole (division)
It’s worth following up each model with children drawing their own for another example question.
Please note that this worksheet is a fully editable document, so you can change any of the questions. And with some basic table editing skills, you can change the bar models by copying and pasting the different blocks where you need them.
I use this setup to type up different examples of addition and subtraction problems to show on the projector.
It is fully editable as well, so could be easily adjusted for multiplication and division. There are spaces for place values up to 1000 as well as spaces for regrouping or carrying numbers on.
This introductory worksheet about 2D shapes, lines and curves, and types of circles, is split into three objectives and tasks. Here they are as presented in the document…
LO: I can identify lines and curves in different shapes and patterns.
Task: Sort out the Capital letters of the alphabet A-Z into the correct groups.
LO: Recall the names of different 2D shapes.
Task: Retrieve from your memory only, the names and spellings of as many 2D shapes as you can think of!
LO: I can identify the different types (fractions) of a circle.
Task: Use Google Image search to find real life examples of objects that are one of the following. Copy and paste them under the correct name. See if you can find three examples of each. One example of a semicircle might be half a slice of pizza.
This worksheet is designed to be used online as a Google Doc but could also be printed. I use it in Google Classroom and create a copy for each of the children to work on.
The Challenge
This Code Breaker Challenge is made up of 4 challenge sheets, each containing three sets of questions about multiplication and division. The content is based on the Whiterose topic - Multiplication and Division for Year 3 (Spring Block 1). There is also a final challenge sheet for obtaining the master lock key.
The Setup
Ideally, the Code Breaker Challenge requires a box which can be locked with four three digit combination locks and one (master) padlock.
How to Use
Fill the box with treasure, for example some sweets and then setup the combinations on each of the locks and lock the box with them and the master lock.
Split the class up into four teams and provide each team with one of the challenge sheets.
Start a timer of approximately 30 minutes (depending on the ability and age of your class).
Each team works together to solve the challenge and tell the teacher the three digit code. If they get it correct, they may open their lock. If not, then they will need to check their answers.
Once all four combination locks have been opened, or even after the first team has finished, provide the master lock challenge. If they complete it correctly and within the time, they can then have the master lock key to open the treasure box.
Great Fun!
The children absolutely love the Code Breaker Challenge and we repeat it at the end of every major maths unit. They really need to work together and check their work carefully if they are to succeed in opening the box and retrieving the treasure within.
The documents is fully editable so you can use it as a template to create your own challenges if you like. You can also use it for other subjects as well, but it definitely lends itself to maths the most.
I hope you and your children enjoy it as much as mine do!
This challenge is one of many. Please take a look at my shop for other units. Thank you.
This test pack contains tests for the 2-12 times tables. Each test is comprised of 10 questions, each with a random mixture of calculation order and blanks.
Children should complete the test in one minute or less. Following that, you could have the children swap for peer correction and they can circle the score and emoji.
Each A4 page includes 4 of the same test so you can reduce paper usage. It also means they are small enough to stick in notebooks if needs be.
The download includes the original DOC file which is fully editable as well as a PDF.
This pack is made up of 4 worksheets for telling the time with am and pm as well as questions about time before and after.
Please see individual worksheets for more details on each.
Each worksheet is designed to be used online as a Google Doc but could also be printed and used that way instead.
Five worksheets all about fractions, including an art worksheet!
Please see each individual worksheets for further details.
Each one is designed to be used online as a Google Doc, however, they could also be printed out just as easily and used that way instead.
