3 Levels of differentiation
BS (Lower)
AA (Middle)
MAT (More able)
Resource 1 - What do I know about the food I eat?
This worksheet starts with some questions about basic food facts and then requires some research to find out about the different food groups.
Resource 2 - Food Calorie Chart
Provides information about the recommended daily intake of calories, fats, sugar salt etc, for men women and children aged 5-11.
Resource 3 - Food calorie chart restaurant.
This is a sample restaurant menu showing the calorific values of the food. Pupils should choose meals and work out the values of the calories consumed! (Numeracy Across the Curriculum).
Suitable for years 4, 5 & 6
LO: To represent data using Venn diagrams.
Learners cut out the Olympic sports symbols to correctly place them in the correct position on the Venn diagrams. Learners can be given suitable criteria to sort the sports or create their own.
e.g. Sports that use water, sports that use a ball, team sports, contact sports etc.
A list of sample criteria is also included with this resource.
Differentiated options - Venn diagrams with 2 or 3 sets.
Differentiated options - Limit the amount of symbols used for each group.
Differentiated options - Learners cut out or draw the symbols.
An original and engaging learning resource which was created to teach multiplication through the topic of superheros.
BS (Lower) - Multiply & divide every superhero quality by 10
AA (Middle) - Multiply & divide every superhero quality by 10 &100
MAT (More able) - Multiply & divide every superhero quality by 10, 100 & 1000
Superhero qualities include - Intelligence, speed, strength, combat and power!
Pupils read the 'Christmas themed' maths problems and decide on the appropriate type of calculation in order to find the answer.
Suitable for KS2 Pupils. (Ages 8- 11 /Years 4-6)
3 levels of differentiation.
BS (Lower)
AA (Middle)
MAT (More able)
Festive maths word problems including addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
Three ability levels included. BS (Easy) AA (Medium) MAT (Harder)
A collections of worksheets suitable for assessing the understanding of groups of different learners. For best results, use at the end of a maths topic where place value was a focus.
Questions include:
*Finding the value of the underlined digit e.g tens, thousands
*Partitioning numbers
*Ordering multi-digit numbers
*Adding multiples to numbers
3 Levels of differentiation:
BS (Lower) - 4 & 5 digit numbers
AA (Middle) - up to 6 digit numbers
MAT (More able) - up to 7 digit numbers
LO: To select appropriate mathematics and techniques to use
You have volunteered to run a game at the school fete in which people each pull numbered balls from a bag. (No actual balls are required!)
What different products can you make using the numbers?
What is the smallest/largest amount you can make?
(e.g. the digits 2, 3, 5 and 7 could create 572 × 3 or 735 + 2)
This is an effective way to assess how pupils can use their procedural skills in a reasoning task.
4 levels of differentiation are included in these worksheets.
Learners research sporting events across the world and label their findings on the large blank world map. e.g. Date, location and type of event. More able pupils could work out how many years ago each event took place. A partly completed sample map is and a list of Olympic dates are also included.
For best results pupils should use A3 paper and shade using colours.
LO: To use atlases and maps to locate countries that have hosted major sporting events.
LO: To use co-ordinates to specify location
Paired Yes/No games – You have a number of chances to guess the location of the hidden treasure! Two sheets needed per pair. Each pupil marks their treasure and their partner takes turns to guess the location.
ALN (Simple)
BS (Lower)
AA (Middle)
MAT (More able) - 4 Quadrants
A set of worksheets aimed at lower KS2 (Year 3/4) to encourage the development of mental arithmetic skills through different thought processes.
Group 1 - How many ways can you make totals up to 20, using different operations?
Group 2 - How many ways can you make totals up to 50, using different operations?
Group 3 - How many ways can you make totals up to 100, using different operations?
The three sheets are included in one downloadable document.
This cross-curricular presentation that requires pupils to add 2/3/4 digits using formal methods.
The final task is something a little different and requires blank stickers/labels which should be attached to pupils shirts. The learners add the pairs of numbers in a collaborative numeracy task.
Cross Curricular Welsh is included (Numbers)
Whiteboards are useful with this activity.
LO: To add 3&4 digit numbers using the appropriate written method
Pupils measure the shapes (1960’s objects) on the worksheets and calculate the perimeter in decimals. The images are popular 1960’s icons and memorabilia.
BS (Lower) - Measure the squares and rectangles to the nearest cm
AA (Middle) - Measure the squares and rectangles to the nearest decimal in cm
MAT (Higher) - Measure the squares, rectangles and circles* to the nearest decimal in cm
*A small piece of string is needed to measure the perimeter of the circle.
Pupils correctly add up all the sides to find the perimeter. A simple video link to allow pupils to recap on the method required to work out the perimeter of polygons has also been included.
LO: To measure the perimeter of shapes
LO: To transfer mathematical skills to a variety of contexts
Learners should apply their knowledge of equivalences by referring to the clues in the charts to correctly fill in the missing answers. This is an effective way to assess how pupils can use their procedural skills in a reasoning task.
The more able chart includes the following:
Fraction
Diagram
Decimal
Story problem
‘Sum’
Decimal
Measurement to nearest whole
Percentage
Number line
This task is differentiated, so some groups will have a reduction in the above. (3 Groups)
Pupils use the decimals to round to the nearest measurement.
Designed to promote maths across the curriculum in KS2.
3 differentiated sheets (with pictures) for different groups of learners
BS - Lower
AA - Middle
MAT - Harder
This cross-curricular presentation that requires pupils to work out the co-ordinates of locations on the WW2 map of Europe. It covers 4 and 6 figure grid references. There is a clever video link included with this resource to start the lesson.
You could print out the maps for use in lessons, therefore some preparation is required in order to get the best results. There is an extension sheet provided in publisher format.
LO: To use co-ordinates to specify location
LO: To use grid references to specify location
Learners look at the sets of different weights and put them on the scales so that both sides are balanced. Good reasoning revision for National Testing.
4 Levels of differentiation:
