A range of worded problems I have used with a year 3 class. They are differentiated into red (R), amber (A) and green (G), with red being the simplest (for those feeling very unconfident) and green being for those who are super confident/requiring enrichment.<br />

Collated some problems from different sources and added my own. Thank you to other contributors.
There are a variety of worksheets in the document which can be double-sided for a challenge. There are multiple levels of differentiation and a 'challenge sheet&' should pupils finish.
I used this with a year 2 class but it proved quite challenging for most so it could be used with year 3 dependent on the class.
Differentiated worksheet for adding and subtracting decimals that involves dice. Children roll the dice which gives them the digits for their calculations. I used this in a year 6 class but it could be adapted.
I was invited to an interview where the given topic for the lesson was 'Awe and Wonder&'. I was given a choice of English or maths to teach but that had to be the theme. This is the lesson that I taught; the children were really engaged and the interview panel loved it! It only lasts 25mins (as planned) but there is scope for extending it into a theme that covers a series of lessons.
A scavenger hunt for pupils which allows them to explore their new classroom and the children in it. A good way of including children who are new to the school/class. Can be adapted to include wider school environment.
