There are several maths skills that can incorporate the Matariki whetū/stars, so I created this activity for teachers that want to bring Matariki into their maths lesson, or who want to weave maths skills with the environment. These activities are ideal for year 3-6 students and can be adapted if needed. The questions cover measurement of length using rulers (to the nearest cm, but if you have children that want to measure in mm, that’s great), positional language, identifying shapes, and locating Matariki whetū/stars using coordinates. There are two options to choose from with the questions and the questions are editable, so you can adapt them to your needs. This activity is ideal for the whole class, small groups, early finishers, and rotating stations. You’ll receive 2 PDFs and 2 editable PPTX files.

Children often find it hard to remember the difference between area and perimeter, which affects their ability to do calculations correctly. So, the more memory aids we can use to help them, the more likely it is that they will remember the difference. With this activity, children color in the word “AREA” which covers the area of the rectangle, and they write the word “PERIMETER” around the perimeter of the rectangle. I’ve included a full page and half page option. You may also like an engaging, real-world activity like this one to practise area and perimeter.

Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s painting of “Children’s Games” is one of the best primary sources I’ve come across that give us a little glimpse into the games children played in the past. The painting “Children’s Games” depicted life in the Netherlands in the 1560s. There are over 250 children playing 83 different games. With this activity, in pairs or small groups, children look at a corner of the painting and find the games on a list. They then identify if the game is still played nowadays, and they make guesses about how to play an unfamiliar game in the painting. It’s a fabulous way to bring history alive, with such a relatable topic, and it gets children using a primary source to gather and analyse information from the past.

This timeline activity is a hands-on visual way for students to put the events of the Great Fire of London in order. I’ve included the actions of Samuel Pepys in the timeline because it’s interesting, such as his priority to bury wine and cheese (which seems odd to us now, but they would have been very expensive items back then), and because he was a significant figure at the time who left a valuable primary source detailing the event. There are two options to choose from: Worksheet timeline cut and paste – either glue events next to the dates (easier option) or write dates and glue events on (harder version). Foldable timeline – glue events below the dates and pictures. I’ve included a set of clues to help children put the events in order, if needed. These can be cut up or left as is.
