The children pick this up quickly once they grasp the concept of not repeating the number is any row, column and section. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK! Use the Smart board to show this, which recaps the Sudoku with shapes instead of numbers lesson which is best to do first (see my other resources for this.) I gave them the 4 by 4 grid first and once they marked it they could get the 6x6 grid. I gave them a sticker for each sheet they completed!

The children LOVED this lesson! Follow the Smart board to understand what to do. The children try to answer the 10 division questions on each card as quickly as possible and then self mark before moving on to the next stage. Only let them have one stage at a time. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK!The questions get harder as they go along but there are no division with remainders questions. It is very motivation. (A few managed all 6 stages in half an hour-that's a lot of maths!)

Follow the slides to take you through this complete lesson. The children will need whiteboards. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK! Children will have previously been taught division as 'sharing&' before they move on to calculating it this way.

This is a using and applying maths lesson which introduces the children to the idea of Sudoku using symbols. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK! There is a web link to the free worksheets. There are 2 levels of difficulty. Use the Smart board which takes you through the lesson. Use the plenary sheet at the end, one for each child to stick in their book, so they can reflect on their learning. This type of lesson takes a bit longer than an hour if you include all the starter activities too.

In this lesson there is a link to a really good song about square numbers and I have put the song words on here. The Venn sheet comes from the nrich website and there is a link on here too. The categories on the Venn are square numbers and odd. The lesson includes a starter and plenary. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK!

This is a great song I have found to help children understand square numbers. I have made a song sheet to go with this and there are parts for simple instruments too. If you have a Smart Board there is a square numbers lesson related to this too. I have included a link to the song. Enjoy! PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK!

Two Carroll diagrams to sort numbers on to. The easier one is 5 times table/not 5 times table even/not even and the second one is the same but this time it is the 6 times table. You can do the easier one all together on the carpet and then the children can do the 6 times table one at their desks. I teach in a set so I can able to give them all similar work. If you have different abilities you could adapt it to the 2 times table for example. Please leave feedback!

Cut up these questions and put on the desks for the children to answer. They can record the answers in their book, making sure they write down the number of the question and use the answer sheet at the end to self mark. For each question they have to use their knowledge of counting in 3s, 5s, and 6s etc to work out how many packets are needed. For all the questions they have to buy extra packets as the number they need to does not fit in perfectly.

This is my simple version of bingo which involves everyone having the same board! They only highlight 4 or 5 of the squares and then get that number of counters. There is a mixture of questions and subtraction vocab such as minus, less, decrease and take away. You give clues by giving the answer to one of the questions or e.g. 'this is the subtraction symbol&'. The first one to have 5 counters on their board is the winner. This is a great way to teach children subtraction vocabulary and can be used as a starter or in the plenary.

Children choose from a list of numbers and have to work out all the multiplication sums that could make that number in total. There is an answer sheet for them at the end and a plenary/reflection sheet. They can only multiply 2 numbers (but you could make it harder by allowing more) and they are told how many possible ways there are. if you use it PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK!

The children can click on these and it takes them directly to lots of fun online games from various websites. I had all the laptops out for a lesson and they loved it. They are doing so much maths through play! Very motivational.

This is a project designed to last for a week, but it could be longer, where the children can use their imaginations to plan an indoor play area for children with a maths theme to it. As designers they have to think about how a fun indoor area might teach children more about 2D and 3D shape, times tables, capacity and money. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK! Encourage them to research on the internet and use maths dictionaries to find out names of harder 2D/3D shapes etc so they are learning new things and consolidating their own skills at the same time.Use the photos to help generate ideas!

There is a link to the nrich website where you will find the sheet and more information. The starter of this lesson looks at balancing sums , Then the main part of the lesson introduces the maze. They have to go from beginning to end and each number they go through they have to add on to their total and they must have 100 by the end. Please leave feedback!

This is a Smartboard lesson can be used to explain how to work out division sums on a number line. There are 2 levels of work for the children to do on one of the slides. It is for roughly level 3C/3B. Please leave feedback!

The children have a chart with pictures of 3D shapes on and they have to write how many faces, vertices (remember this as the points and there is a point in the letter v) and edges the shapes have. They also have to write or draw pictures of any other objects they can think of which are the same shape.

This is a homework sheet which explains how to work out these questions. It also contains some word problems as well. It could be adapted and used in class.

At SNOW STORES find something extra special for Winter, items range from an inflatable igloo to a snow dragon! PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK! There is a picture and price list and the children have to decide which items they would purchase and find the total and then answer various questions requiring them to add and finding totals. The price list and question sheets could be adapted to make easier or harder.

Children love to play these types of games. Download the rules to understand the different ways it can be played and to get the clues to read out. This helps them to learn quarters and fifths and some of their equivalent fractions too. It helps them to find the numerator (never under) and the denominator(down). PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK!

This was part of our Egyptian topic to introduce the Gods. We try to link maths into our topic work where ever we can! On the word document you just need to draw in the circles! Please leave feedback!

This is from the nrich website and is called 'The Puzzling sweetshop&'. The children have to work out which sweets the characters can buy with 10p, 20p and 50p. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK! The children have to answer the questions, trying to work out which sweets were bought. I have made a Smart Board resource and worksheet to go with this and hints and teachers&'; notes can be found on the website.
