The principle objective of this activity is to teach systematic thinking, in this case to test numbers chronologically with their factor partners up to the square root to ensure that there are no factors missing, and they are identified as quickly as possible. It also provides opportunities to consolidate knowledge and understanding of times tables, square and prime numbers, mental strategies for calculating division, and the efficiency of using divisibility rules. The sheets can be completed by hand or electronically on a PC or tablet. The sheets can be used as homework, or as a time-filler to occupy more able children. It is also an exciting and popular task when used as a daily warm up in the form of a race. The race ends when a child finds the full solution, with merits for the winner and runners up. With a robust group the pupil sheets can be abandoned and the task completed on individual white boards, so the children are not prompted with the correct format and number of factors. When the number of factors is high you will find children calling time when they are a pair or two short, and having to go back to the drawing board; this all adds to the excitement. The pack contains a set of twenty sheets at the higher level. Two packs at a less challenging level of difficulty are available either separately. There is also a related scheme of work that can be purchased separately.

There is a further set of twenty sheets progressing to a higher level of difficulty and a related scheme of work that can be purchased separately.

The pack contains a set of three sheets, one in each of three levels of difficulty. Coming soon: A pack containing a set of sixty sheets, twenty in each of three levels of difficulty, along with a set of blank grids to make further sheets.

This is a prompt sheet to encourage the use of strategy to find all the factors of a given number. Ideally a warm-up activity in the form of a race, the primary objective is to encourage a systematic approach, and also involves practice in divisibility rules, square roots and square and prime numbers.

Practice in calculating fractions of numbers. The tasks can be completed by hand or on a tablet/computer. The diagrams can be tailored to meet the criteria for real-life problems.

Practice in reading analogue time and calculating digital time spans. The tasks can be completed by hand or on a tablet/computer. The diagrams can be tailored to meet the criteria of real-life problems

Consolidation/revision pupil booklet covering mean, median, mode and range. Useful for end-of-topic or random revisit consolidation, and as a revision tool at the end of KS2. Appropriate for previous levels 3/4, and for higher levels as a reminder. A further booklet 'Averages with problem solving' will follow, suitable for levels 5/6. The booklet is a handy A5 size, and self-explanatory. The resource includes Pupil booklet master, answer booklet master, and brief teachers' notes.
