An exercise where children will have to study two sets of temperature data produced in Excel. They will need to interpret this data and answer questions relating to difference, negative numbers in context, more than, less than etc. A good task to demonstrate current understanding and track progress in data handling. Also a useful exercise in the run-up to the SATs as reading line-graphs and interpreting negative numbers in context is often present.

Useful assessment task that can be used in conjunction with the published elicitation task to show progress. Includes simple addition, subtraction, short division and multiplication, decimals, basic algebra and fraction to decimal conversion. Answers are included for ease of marking.

A differentiated set of percentage calculations - e.g. 35% of 460. Tikka Masala = Finding multiples of 10% Madras = Finding multiples of 10 and 5% Vindaloo = Finding any percentage. Teacher can differentiate or pupils can self-differentiate depending on confidence. Pack also has a worksheet of 5 word problems aimed at middle and higher pupils - finding discounts/profits etc. Answers to all questions are included for ease of marking and ‘over shoulder’ marking.

Problem solving task to stretch children working at either expected levels or greater depth. This can be done either as a group, partnered or individual exercise and gives a workout of the following skills: area perimeter the four operations money application of skills - where and when to apply a certain operation Some aspects of task may require some support from an adult or more able peer - particularly at the lower end of y5. Answers (with formulas that work towards the answer) are included for ease of marking.

Task comprising of 3 different exercises that require greater depth thinking to tackle multi-step questions. Good for maths reasoning and a challenge that is suitable for both individual or group work. Work requires knowledge of area (rectangle, triangle and parallelogram), perpendicular height and when to use the four operations to solve different parts of the problem.

A differentiated series of 3 worksheets, ranked with 1-3 chilli peppers, containing ratio word problems (8 per sheet). Children can choose their difficulty or teacher can differentiate. Offers opportunity to move onto a more challenging set of problems if the former turns out to be too easy. Answer sheet included in folder for ease of marking, as well as the problems being included in word and PDF format.

9 differentiated problems that have to be solved using inverse operations and basic knowledge of algebra. Children can complete the tasks in pairs, groups or independently. There are three 1 star sheets for chn working towards. There are three 2 star sheets for chn working around EXP level. There are three 3 star sheets for chn working at GDP and need a greater challenge (the GDP problems bleed more into the four operations as opposed to the other sheets that focus on addition and subtraction). Answers are included for ease of marking/over shoulder guidance.

Greater depth task for Greater Depth able year sixes. Three problems based on Santa’s Sleigh that include: volume surface area lengths in metres Four operations required to solve the problems: multiplication (short and long) long division addition/subtraction Answers are included for ease of marking.

Santa’s Sleigh problem incorporating multi-step problems and reasoning. Areas of maths required: volume surface area length long multiplication long division addition/subtraction. Answers included for ease of marking.

Match-up task where children identify different four sided and three sided shapes with their correct names. Included are: square, rhombus, parallelogram, trapezoid, equilateral, isosceles, scalene, kite, rectangle. There is a 1 and 2 star sheet (same content) where less information is given on the higher sheet and relies more on the child’s prior knowledge.

Task where children match up 2D polygons with their correct names. The task is differentiated 3 ways where the higher sheets provide less information and rely more on pupil prior knowledge. Sheet includes square, pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, octogon, nonogon, decagon.

Three way differentiated task on calculating the area of parallelograms and triangles. One star sheet - Handling of triangle and quadrilateral areas using simpler numbers. Two star sheet - Handling of triangle and parallelogram areas where long multiplication will need to be applies - also touches on splitting whole numbers. Three star sheet - Larger areas and numbers to be handled and problems that require reasoning and working systematically.

A mean average word problem task with two levels of differentiation. Basic finding the mean and a second sheet incorporating more challenging problems. Basic word problems Interpreting information from tables and find the mean For the two short, a question is also included that includes fractions and giving a fractional answer (this will involve adding fractions with different denominators and finding the average of the result). This worksheet is available in both Word and PDF formats and can be given out in class as part of a plenary, main activity or for online learning.

This resource is for year 5 and can be used as either an elicitation task or end of sequence assessment. Learning objectives are as follows: Can I read, write, order and compare numbers up to 1,000,000? Round any whole number accurately? Identify the value of each digit in a number up to 1,000,000? Use, read, write and convert between standard units of length, mass and time? Convert a smaller unit of measure to a larger unit, and vice versa? Order decimal numbers from lowest to highest and vice-versa? Answers are included on p2 for ease of marking and learning objectives are included at the top of p1 for highlighting whether the objective is met or not.

Revision worksheets aimed at learning how to work out 10, 5 and 1% with the view that any percentage can be worked out using this knowledge as a foundation. 3 tasks included: - Working out 10% of any given number. - Working out 1, 5 and 10 % of any given number. - Using this knowledge to work out different percentages of given numbers. Answer sheet included for ease of marking/over-shoulder marking. Task also includes free sheet with word problems aimed at expected and greater depth.

A3 sized worksheet incorporating elicitation task that covers the following learning objectives: Can I identify the properties of a circle? Can I calculate the area of a rectangle, triangle and parallelogram? Can I calculate missing angles? Can I calculate the volume of a cuboid? Can I calculate with square and cubed numbers?

Range of word problems that incorporate 2-step and multi-step challenges. There are 15 word problems in total (duplicated on the page 2-4 times so that they can easily be cut up and given out). A good resource for setting homework on a ‘problem a day’ basis or acting as an extension task if you want to laminate them and put them in a pot (this is what I do). Problems range from: area algebra difference money fractions percentages ratio Problems are also good for class discussion and promoting reasoning/understanding skills. Answers are included at back of document for ease of marking and immediate feedback.
