This resource is a series of weekly tests on Multiplying up to 12. E.g. If 5 x 6 = 30 … Then 5 x 60 = 300 Description of Activity: Cut out, fold, and glue the weekly test into their book so that each IF… THEN… question can be covered and revealed. Set an appropriate timer. Get students to complete all the IF questions first. Set another, shorter timer. Gets students to complete all the THEN questions. Mark using the provided answers. Students record their mark for each IF question and each THEN question on the marksheet by shading correct answers, or by using two colours. Differentiation: Provide students with a multiplication grid. This will help them complete at most half of the questions and then use their knowledge on multiplying and dividing by 10 to determine the other answers. Set shorter time limits for high ability students (or vice versa for students that need more time) Hints and Tips: A suitable time limit for this resource would be 5-10 minutes. Students can mark their own / their neighbour’s answers.

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

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!

This loop card activity is designed to practice: Rationalising the denominator of: 1 / \sqrt{a} b / \sqrt{a} b / c\sqrt{a} b+c\sqrt{d} / \sqrt{a} b / c\pm\sqrt{a} a\pm{\sqrt{b} / c\pm\sqrt{d} Questions gradually increase in difficulty. Differentiation strategy provided - Loop Frame Emphasise students working collaboratively, discussing their working and writing down calculations. Could be used as a homework but ensure that working is provided alongside the loop cards placed in order! As always, all answers are provided in multiple forms.

This activity is designed to practice: Calculating the fraction of an amount (integer, fraction, decimal) Questions gradually increase in difficulty with some skills based, and some worded problems. Questions are a mixture of calculator and non-calculator. As always, all answers are provided (separate doc)

Create your own spooky ghost Follow the step by step instructions carefully! The instructions are presented as a powerpoint slideshow and as a printable version. Images of every step are provided! The ghost printout could be printed onto card for more rigidity, but a4 paper works fine. Students shouldn’t need more than 50cm of tape. Students may want assistance punching a hole in the top of the ghost so it can hang / float. This could be an individual or pairs activity. For a dramatic finish, use a torch below to light up your spooky ghost!

This activity is designed to practice: Solving 1-step equations with all 4 operations Forming and solving 1-step equations using bar models Solving 2-step equations of the form ax+b=c, ax/b=c, (x+a)/b=c Forming and solving 2-step equations using bar models Questions gradually increase in difficulty and are more exercise / practice questions to help develop understanding and visualising solving equations. As always, all answers are provided - solutions are integers including negatives and a few decimals. Worked solutions have also been provided as a separate document

ӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧ Draw the reflection of the 11 different Halloween shapes on a pair of + axes. The line of reflection is always the y-axis (vertical) except for “Beware of things that go bump in the night” which has a horizontal line of reflection. The Halloween shapes are: Bat Beware of things that go bump in the night (BOO) Black Cat Faceless Pumpkin - draw your own symmetrical pumpkin face! Happy Ghost Haunted House Midnight Owl Skeleton Spooky Ghost Spooky Pumpkin Witches Hat - draw your own symmetrical decorations! Once students have completed the reflection, make sure they decorate it! One example of each are provided which can be useful to help students finish them. Enjoy this spӧӧky activity! ӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧӧ

BRAND NEW RESOURCE! Head Start Maths 10, 100 More and Less Jigsaws are a fantastic way to demonstrate understanding and apply key skills to a wide variety of problems in an independent or collaborative way. Each jigsaw consists of 16 square pieces that contain a combination of Questions and Answers. After cutting out each piece, they need to be placed together in a 4 × 4 grid where the Question on one piece matches the Answer on another piece. The outer edge is left blank. Students may want to complete this as an individual task or work with a partner. Each jigsaw spans three pages: 12 of the 16 Question cards 4 of the 16 Question cards and student friendly instructions Solution Teaching Tips Each student / pair / small group of students will need: - One 16 card jigsaw (page 1 and 2); - Scissors; - Glue; - A piece of paper to stick the solution down after it is complete. Set a timer for around 2 minutes for students to cut out the cards and put any paper in the recycling and return their scissors (this can be rewarded with house points etc). Get students to colour in or write their initials in the square in the middle of all 16 cards so they know which cards belong to them. Set an appropriate timer for students to complete the jigsaw. Working should be done separately either in a book or on a mini whiteboard. Allow students to discuss their working with their neighbour and ask each other questions. Encourage them to share understanding, not just their answers. Cards can get blown away easily. Use small objects (e.g. link cubes or stationery) to weigh down cards so students keep track of their solution! If you have the opportunity to rate this resource, it would really inform me about updating / producing more! Thank you
