This is a “Maths on the Move” activity. it comprises of twenty A5 cards which can be placed around a classroom or even better the playground. Each card contains an arithmetic question. The questions are based on the Year Six SATs arithmetic paper. THey are supplied in pdf and also Publisher format so can be easily edited if required. Each child (or pair) has a copy of the supplied answer sheet and have to find the cards before answering the question. The teacher has a sheet with all the questions and answers so can check each answer as the children find them. This is a great activity for keeping children active as well as learning maths. I have used it very successfully either as a pre-SATs revision session or after SATs to use some of their newly acquired maths skills! I hope you find this activity useful and fun! Thanks for your interest in my maths resources. Feedback is greatly appreciated.

A worksheet which asks pupils to identify and explain rules of divisibility and then apply them to larger multi-digit numbers

This is a complete project which looks at compass directions but also brings in super great opportunities for artwork and being creative. Children are presented with a hand drawn treasure map that has recently been discovered. There are also several sets of directions which the children have to follow to locate each treasure. The 8 point compass is used. Children can also "bury" some treasure of their on on the map and write directions. Children are then given a blank parchment and have to design their own treasure map. This is where the creativity comes in! It might be worth showing them a few examples from the internet for ideas. They then have to "bury" their treasure at different locations and wrote instructions. they can then exchange with a friend and find each others treasure. great fun! This is useful for teaching/re-enforcing compass directions. It is also great for Year 6 after SATs and can quite easily last for several lessons. I do it every year and my children love it!

Here’s a mathematical variation of the classic game, “Orange Boxes”. A game for two players which is great for developing mental maths skills, adding several single digit numbers. RULES Each player needs a different colour crayon or felt tip. Take turns to joint two dots, vertically or horizontally. When you complete a single square (box), the box is yours. Colour it your colour. The players take turns but whenever a player makes a box they must move again. When all boxes have been made and coloured, each player adds up the numbers inside their boxes. The player with the highest total (not necessarily the most boxes) wins. Thanks for your interest in my maths resources. I hope you find them useful.

This is a PowerPoint presentation which explains how to compare two decimal numbers (up to 3 decimal places). It does so by lining them up in a vertical column. It then progresses to ordering a set of decimal numbers. Zeroes are added to empty decimal places so that the numbers have the same number of digits, Thank you for your interest in my maths resources.

My children love this game. It reinforces the concept of rounding numbers. Pupils are given a game board which is a grid with random 3 digit numbers. They throw a die three times to generate a 3-digit number. They can choose the order of the digits. They have to round the number to the nearest 10 or 100 depending on the particular game and colour the rounded number n the grid. . Players take turns with the winner being the first to colour a line of four. I have included game boards for rounding 3 digit numbers to the nearest 10 and 100. The resource is supplied as a WOrd Document aS well as a pdf. The beauty of this resource is that it could very easily be adapted to use larger or smaller numbers, A nice extension would be for children to choose the numbers to place in a blank grid. Which numbers would be best? Thank you for your interest in my maths resources. I so hope you find them useful.

This is a very visually clear demonstration of what happens when we multiply and divide numbers by 10, 100 and 1000. Th e presentation uses a large full-screen place value board to three decimal places. Different questions are modeled with arrows showing the direction of movement when we multiply or divide. The digits are animated and slide to the left or right, the required number of spaces. I have used this very successfully with upper KS2 children. it could very easily be amended for use with younger children. Thank you for your interest in my maths resources. I do hope you find them useful.

This is an animated Powerpoint presentation which is designed for Year Six preparing for SATS. It offers simple clear animated reminders of most of the calculation methods they are likely to need on the arithmetic paper (Paper 1). Calculation methods featured on the presentation include: Adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators. The crossbow method is featured which I usually find children find the simplest to remember. Multiplying a pair of fractions together. Multiplying fractions by a whole number. Dividing fractions by a whole number. Multiplication and division of mixed numbers by a whole number, turning the mixed number into an improper fraction first. Thank you for your interest in my maths resources. I do hope you find them useful.

Children love this game. They play on a game board and have to throw dice to make target numbers. They have to colour a line of four on the grid to win the game. The game is great for developing mental maths skills and also requires tactical play to win the game, Suitable for KS2 at any level Supplied in pub and pdf format. Thank you for your interest in my maths resources. I hope you find them useful.

This is a PowerPoint presentation on a theme of adding fractions which I have used with Year 5 and Year 6 pupils. It start by adding fractions with the same denominator, demonstrating that this is a very simple process. It then goes on to look at adding fractions with different denominators showing how they need first to be converted into the same denominator. Several visual example are given.

This resource is comprises of two pages. Children are asked to draw the reflection of polygons in a given mirror line. They then have to write the coordinates of the reflected shape (first quadrant only). They are then presented with more shapes alongside their reflection and have to identify and draw the mirror line in the correct place. Suitable for upper KS2 or lower KS3
