These are some Pokemon themed multiplication word problems that I used with my Year 3 class. They are fairly simple multiplication sums that most could solve in their head but the focus on the lesson was pulling out the key information from the word problem. <br />
<br />
The class enjoyed the Pokemon link and all achieved the LO
Print out and cut up the cards. Children to play in small groups. Snap. This game will last a while as each set has a written number (green) , a number with an underlined digit (purple) and a written digit (blue). This allows the pupils to think about the value of each digit and think 'what is it worth'
<p>Three worksheets included.</p>
<p>Red - LA<br />
2’s, 3’s, 5’s and 10’s</p>
<p>Green - MA<br />
2’s, 3’s, 4’s, 5’s and 10’s</p>
<p>Purple - HA<br />
2’s, 3’s, 4’s, 5’s, 6’s, 10’s and 12’s</p>
<p>These were used for the first lesson of multiplication with my class. They thoroughly enjoyed the activity and the challenge and extension kept them working all lesson.</p>
<p>This lesson was to promote using mental multiplication and using the commutative law when hey thought that they couldn’t solve it (e.g. 11 x 2= ‘don’t know my 11 times table’ - use the commutative law to make it easier)</p>
Used with my Year 3 class of mixed ability pupils. <br />
2 sheets, differentiated by number - 1st is slightly harder. LA children worked in pairs to read questions but independently solved. <br />
<br />
With this activity I got the pupils to focus on what the question was asking them and used highlighters to identify the useful information.
Using a colour coding children are to colour the shapes with the different amount of right angles. <br />
<br />
We used set squares to identify the right angles. LA used right angle monsters (paper monsters with right angle shaped mouths)
A fun, Harry Potter themed, worksheet that pupils have to use addition and subtraction to work out how much more/less Hermione and the boys need for their potion. <br />
<br />
Children really liked the challenge where they make up their own potions. - You could make this tricky by limiting how many of different quantities they can use.
All you need for this activity is a bag of Skittles and this worksheet. <br />
<br />
Children to answer the questions about their bag. (or portion 24-36 seemed to work well) <br />
This activity showed the children for the need for fractions to be equal (using the phrase 'its not fair' as the piles were various sizes) <br />
Also stretched my HA children (purple) by getting them to work out equivalent fractions<br />
<br />
Red - LA <br />
Green - MA <br />
Purple - HA
<p>Children are to draw shapes from the instructions.</p>
<p>Activity shows<br />
Use of a ruler<br />
Knowledge of 2D and 3D shape vocabulary<br />
Understanding of 2D and 3D shapes<br />
Patterns</p>
Basic 2 step word problems using addition and subtraction. <br />
<br />
Differentiated 3 ways by number <br />
<br />
Red - LA <br />
Green - MA <br />
Purple - HA
A missing number problem for every letter of the alphabet. <br />
<br />
2 sheets HA and LA. <br />
Differentiated by approach. <br />
In my class lower children used addition to count on, in order to find the missing number. Higher ability children used inverse operation to find it.
This resource was used with my Year 3 Class. <br />
We used plastic coins to make it movable which really helped the lower ability children. <br />
<br />
They worked out 2 different ways of making sharing the money but I am sure there is more. <br />
It was a fun activity to finish a week working with Money.
This presentation;<br />
- guides you through using different types of pencils and how to use them <br />
-gives an introduction to cave paintings <br />
- making a block with string for printing (minimal as I used demonstrations and you tube videos to show this) <br />
- how to print (minimal as I used demonstrations and you tube videos to show this) <br />
<br />
It also contains the sheets I used for lessons 2 and 3. <br />
<br />
My class really enjoyed this unit of work and at the end of the unit we turned the classroom into a cave (using fabric) and printed the work onto the 'walls'. This was a specific highlight for them.
Addition questions involving Money. <br />
<br />
Most of my class used the number line method to solve these. However, the Higher Ability children used Column method. Feedback and outcomes from children are positive. <br />
<br />
They really enjoyed the extension. They used plastic coins, allowing them to physically move and try different combinations and enabled them to use further adding skills in there head.
This is a simple worksheet for a Division lesson. <br />
<br />
It can be differentiated by; method use, of a simple change of the number. It is currently set for the middle group of my class. <br />
<br />
It has three parts that we use as to continually stretch the pupils. <br />
<br />
Hope it helps :)
Finding a fraction of a number. <br />
<br />
Monster themed worksheet that includes fractions where the numerator is greater than one. <br />
<br />
Children really liked the monster theme.
Used with Year 3's <br />
<br />
This problem uses doubling and halving skills as an introduction to integer scaling problems. <br />
Pupils need to work out what to do the amount of ingredients to make different amounts of cookies. <br />
<br />
3 versions of the worksheet - differentiated by number (Order LA, MA, HA)<br />
<br />
<br />
Following this lesson we went on to weighing out the ingredients and
I used this sheet at the beginning of our place value work to identify what they knew about number. <br />

This worksheet gets children moving around the classroom measuring different objects. <br />
<br />
They need to choose a unit of measure. Estimate the length. Measure to the nearest whole number. Then measure as a decimal and finally measure as a two part measurement (e.g. 10cm 3mm)<br />
<br />
This activity can be done independently or in pairs (mixed ability if needed) <br />
<br />
The worksheet really generated discussion between pupils and I found the children challenging each others answers
