Solve 6 maths challenges to find 6 clues in this Easter themed maths activity.
I use this with 4 actual baskets. The winning basket has easter eggs in for the class, which they get if the majority of the class can solve the clues.
For ease, put children into groups so that they can work together as a team to solve all of the problems.
The challenges cover adding in 4, 8 and 50; subtracting pairs of 3 digit numbers; calculating the perimeter; finding the fraction of a set of objects; matching digital to anaolgue times and finding missing numbers in times-table and division problems.
Solve 6 maths problems linked to the National Curriculum to find 6 clues. Use the digits to escape the room!
You can use this as a standalone maths activity but I use this in a physical way.
Put each clue up in a different area (school hall, classroom or outside space) and get pairs/ groups of children to visit each station to gather their clues. They do not need to be solved in chronological order.
Once they have the final 6 digits they have one more puzzle to solve to enter them in the right order. Visit the teacher/ adult in charge once they think they have to correct combination!
Areas covered are:
*fractions *volume *long multiplication & division *algebra * coordinates * ratio
This resource is very similar to the Year 5 version but has a slightly more difficult fraction and calculation activity suitable for the Year 6 curriculum.

Each tutorial runs through five different types of questions for each of the 6 areas. Just click on the video icon to access the video tutorial. This could be run by support staff with small groups or by allocating to pupils to access independently at home.
Downloadable Practice Arithmetic Papers also available for just £4.99 for 6 complete tests.
Master Long Division in just 5 days. This short course runs through the skills of long division in a simple and effective way, so that by Day 5, children will be able to use the formal written method of long division accurately. This question comes up multiple times every year in the Arithmetic paper (Paper 1) of the Year 6 SATs and it is a skill that has intimidated many, but it really doesn’t need to.
Each session comes with an easy to follow video tutorial and a worksheet to use alongside the tutorial.
