This activity can be used to practice a variety of different objectives: 3C1: Add and subtract numbers mentally, including: A three-digit number and ones A three-digit number and tens A tree-digit number and hundreds 3C6: Recall and use multiplication and division facts for the 3, 4 and 8 multiplication tables. 4C6a: Recall Multiplication and division facts for multiplication tables up to 12 x 12. 5C1: Add and Subtract numbers mentally with increasingly large numbers. 5C6a: Multiply and divide numbers mentally drawing upon known facts. 6C6: Perform mental calculations, including with mixed operations and large numbers. Description of Activity: Place three piles of cards at the front on the room. The first pile contains two sets of 0-9 digit cards, the second pile contains the four operations (+×-÷), and the third pile contains one set of 0-9 digit cards. Call up three students. The first student takes one digit card at random from the pile in front of them. The second person chooses an operation from the set of 4, and the third student picks one 0-9 digit card from their pile. The rest of the class calculate the value mentally and write down their answer on a mini whiteboard. After the teacher holds up the equals button, students hold up their answers. Lots of differentiation strategies and Hints and tips provided.

A complete set of 0-100 Number Cards.

Meet Leggy the Spider! Leggy needs protecting from the rain so you need to help him put on his boots! Print and laminate the blank copy of Leggy the Spider and use a white board pen to write the topic and the answers. In the umbrella, write the topic; you could write any topic from times tables, number bonds, more than or less than, or negative numbers. (The answers must be achievable from the roll of the dice). You can roll the dice more than once to get larger numbers. Roll the 10-sided dice (check out the Head Start Maths free classroom printables pack!): https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12934415 When the dice rolls a number, join the body of the spider to the correct boot using funky spider legs. This could be played individually or in pairs, with students competing to get the highest number of boots on the spider. Students could use a different colour pen each, or a different style of leg!

You will need: One set of number line ghosts (large) One set of ghost cards (small) Pair of Scissors / Guillotine Pegs (at least 20) Washing line (could use string) Pen This is designed to be a whole class activity. Hang up the number line at the front of the classroom with the large ghosts spaced equally apart along the number line. A student is chosen at random to select a small ghost card. The student places the small ghost card in the correct place on the number line. If the ghost card is blank, the teacher can write a number on the card (useful for differentiation). Blank cards for large and small ghosts are provided

Negative Number Sequences This activity is designed to practice: count backwards through 0 including negative numbers Description of Activity: Students roll the 10-sided dice twice (see printable resource link below). The first roll is the starting number, and the second roll is the step count backwards. Students can then complete the answer grid (an example is provided). The more correct numbers they generate, the greater the number of points they receive. This game can be played in pairs with the first player to complete their grid being the winner. Use the RAG analysis to track progress. Differentiation strategies and Teaching Hints and Tips provided.
