This is an activity that will challenge all children in a class. Suitable for Years 5-8 (depending on ability).
To complete this activity children will need to:
- recall the number of sides for polygons down to a dodecagon
- use algebra to calculate the sum of the interior angles for each shape
- find the size of each interior angle using logic (division)
- calculate the size of each exterior angle (180 - interior angle = exterior angle)
This will get the room buzzing and you'll see your children using many skills during the same lesson.
I have colour banded the activity four ways:
-Blue (easiest)
-White (Middle)
- Green (challenging)
- Purple (Mastery)

Two differentiated activity sheets for KS1 children where they need to write certain shapes, names or words in a coordinate grid.
Activity 1 - simplified instructions e.g. 'Draw a three sided shape in'
Activity 2 - harder instructions e.g. 'Draw a ___ in the cell directly under the ______'
A two-way differentiated activity sheet/worksheet that will develop the children’s understanding of bar graphs, data handling, averages, negative numbers and data handling vocabulary.
Sheet 1 - 8 Questions asking about the average temperature in three cities across four months.
Sheet 2 - Questions asking about the average temperature in three cities across five months. Averages, decimals and extrapolation skills will be tested.
Answers are provided for both sheets. I have provided two different layouts which also add to the challenge. One has a wider line graph set, the other has a narrower set. This will test children’s adaptability to varying presentations.
