A maths investigation based on 3D shape.. I used this with years 5 and 6. It is good for SATS practice as it gets them to explain their answer.

Some word problems all require division and some require another operation too as they are multi-step. All Christmas themed and answers provided. I will be using these with years 5 and 6 next month Merry Christmas

Here are 6 different tasks I made. They are reasoning problems all based on some of the old Nrich maths problems for more able children upper KS2- but all altered and with a Christmas theme. Eric the elf Elf City Christmas Treats Mother Claus good Deals? North Pole Diner Christmas Animal Crackers Pack includes all 6 of the reasoning problems/tasks on easy to print/laminate individual sheets and all answers. This is a fun activity that keeps the learning going until Christmas and my class are loving these. I may well make some more (if I have time!)

This pack includes 3 of my maths mastery/reasoning activities for KS2, all with an ELF Christmas theme. All answers included.

Sheets to stick in books with self assessment and teacher assessment columns. Includes: Descriptive writing Addition Subtraction Division Square / cubed numbers Fractions Shape/angles Prime numbers I used these with years 5 and 6- hope they are useful. Adapt as you need to :-)

I used this for my mixed year 5/6 class to assess the first week of place value. I chop them up and stick in books- then the child will tick which statements they think they can do in the first column and I tick the second column. There is also a space for next steps. My class found it useful.

I made this sheet for my class to do as an extension if they finish their work when we do factors. 2 problems to think about and explain their reasoning with a Raymond Briggs theme!
