This editable concept sheet for Whiterose Maths is made up of four characters from White Rose and four speech bubbles. Children can use this to state different concepts in the unit they’re learning. The speech bubbles and character names are fully editable.

This fun 8-bit styled presentation allows 2 players compete to solve a calculation as quickly as possible. The whole thing is fully editable so you can change the problems to suit your children’s abilities. The idea is to set your own problems (of increasing difficulty), project the presentation onto the white board and then select two children of equal ability to come up and race to solve the problem on the board. Really fun activity for them to do and it allows you to easily identify any problems straight away and then work through it with the whole class. You can also encourage student talk by having the winner explain their working. All in all, a simple but effective way to review and reinforce content. If you like this resource, please kindly leave a review. Thank you.

A selection of 10 different colourful, engaging and fully editable starters for Maths lessons. Mental activities designed to get the children warmed-up and ready for their lesson. A two minute timer is also included on each as well as a (more) link on some slides to easily find new content. The activities included are the 24 Number Game, One in Thirty-six, Countdown, Columns XYZ Challenge, A-Z Speed Maths, Codebreaker, What’s the Question, Riddle me This, Sequence and Secret Pathway. Each starter already has an example in it which is aimed at UKS2 level. However, all the content can easily be changed to suit your children’s abilities. Each fortnight, I take a bit of time to set up the starters and then they are ready to go at the beginning of each lesson for two full weeks. The variety of activities keeps the children engaged and looking forward to the next and I hope your children enjoy it as much as mine do.

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.

10 multiplication word problems involving 1-digit and 2-digit numbers. The first 6 involved no exchanging but the final 4 do. The questions increase in complexity as they progress, leading up to 2 and even 3-step solutions. Numbers are all written as words and pictures are included for each question as well as enough space for the children to show their working and answer. Here is an example question: Alex bought five packets of cookies to share with his friends. Each packet contained eleven cookies but the last one had three missing because his sister had eaten them. In the end, how many cookies did Alex have in total? This worksheet can be printed off or even set for the children to do online as a Google Doc. The content is fully editable so you can easily change question content.

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.

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 worksheet uses the game of darts to help consolidate knowledge of addition and subtraction. It can be used with or without a real board and darts. You could even use an online game instead. It really helps add some extra enjoyment to maths! The first section of the worksheet involves getting accustomed to the board - knowing what each section of the board is worth. This involves some multiplying by two and three for doubles and triples, but repeated addition could be used for younger learners. The second part of the sheet involves calculating a score of three darts and then subtracting that total from 101, which is this particular game of darts. The final part involves continuing the game and trying to finish with exactly zero. A professional game of darts usually finishes with a double but it could be a single number to make it more likely new players can finish. The worksheet comes in a DOC format, so most parts are easily editable.

This worksheet involves 10 shape patterns of increasing difficulty. Children have to discern the repeating unit and then fill in the missing shapes to complete the patterns. There are a mixture 2D and 3D shapes and most of the patterns involve rotation and colour changes. LO: I can identify patterns in sequences of shapes. I can complete missing sections of patterns in sequences of shapes. This worksheet is designed to be used online as a Google Doc but could also be printed, however some of the shapes would be difficult to replicate just through drawing. I use it in Google Classroom and create a copy for each of the children to work on.

This worksheet involves naming 3D shapes and writing about their properties - faces, edges, curves etc. The lesson objectives and tasks, taken directly from the worksheet, are as follows… LO: LO: I can identify and name 3D shapes and talk about their properties. Task 1: Label the 3D shapes using the names from the table below. (See preview to see the shapes) Task 2: Choose two different 3D shapes and fill in the info for their properties. *Think about what 2D shapes are within the 3D shape. How many faces are there? Are the faces the same size and shape? Are the faces flat or curved or a mixture of both? How many edges are there? * 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.

This worksheet involves copying 2D shapes & figures. The lesson objectives and tasks, taken directly from the worksheet, are as follows… LO: I can copy a 2D shape/figure exactly as shown. Task: Use this http://print-graph-paper.com/virtual-graph-paper tool to draw out the shapes/figures as shown below. Use the Snipping Tool on the computer to then copy and paste them into this document. You may also print off some graph paper and draw by hand. The shapes get progressively more difficult to draw as the worksheet continues. As an additional task you can ask the children to create their own cool looking patterns. 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.

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.
