Two Treasure Hunt activities designed for pupils to practice their understanding of place value. One requires pupils to convert words into figures, the other involves finding the value of an underlined digit. Pupils can complete the task individually or in pairs. The cards should be cut out and stuck around the wall of the classroom. Pupils go and stand near one of the cards (in a pair or individually) - possibly whiteboards should be given to them for working out - and they start with that card. When they answer the question on the card they go and find the card that has that answer on, making a note of the order of the cards (the card numbers are at the bottom of the cards). When they get round to the card they started at, pupils are done and come to you to check their work. The correct order is included in the documents so you can see quickly where any mistakes have been made. Blank answer sheets are also included for pupils to write down the card numbers.

Mixed questions on interpreting pictograms, bar charts, bar-line charts and frequency tables. I’ve put more reasoning questions in towards the end, but there are a couple here and there at the start too so all pupils get to engage with them, not just the pupils who finish first. Designed to go in line with the Edexcel KS3 scheme of work Year 1, Unit 1.2, but could be used with GCSE classes too. Answers included.

This double sided worksheet is aimed at lower ability pupils - it starts with some fairly simple y = x + 1 graphs etc. before ramping up the difficulty to x + y = 4 and some lines with negative gradients. Also, the tables of values themselves use x values from 1 to 5, as the class I used this with were taught to fill in tables of values in the same way that they would generate a sequence (eg for y = 2x + 1: write out the 2 times table and add 1 to each number).

A simple and easy to use cross number worksheet to help pupils practice converting numbers from words into figures. Pupils will strongly engage with this activity as it can add some interest and competition to a relatively dry topic.

A fun and engaging codebreaker activity in which pupils must answer questions involving adding and subtracting negative numbers in order to crack the code and reveal the joke. Ideal for consolidating skills, pupils will race to complete this task and delight in telling you how terrible the joke is.
