Brighten up SATs revision with this great fun alternative to past papers! This Swash-buckling board game involves pupils moving around the board and answering past SATs questions in order to win treasure. This pack includes the board, the rules and 32 SATs question cards with answers (you could also add your own cards by using SATs papers in the future). The last page also invites pupils to invent their own game for the students to revise with the following year (but of course they must provide answers to the questions they set!) To play you will need to cut up the question cards (I suggest laminating them for future use) and print the board in colour for each team. I usually let the rest of the team decide if the question has been answered correctly (that way they all have to work it out!) but there is an answer sheet provided for checking if they are not sure. You will also need counters, dice and mini whiteboards.

Print unlimited worksheets for column addition practice! Included is a worksheet generator with 3 worksheets of mixed questions with increasing difficulty, including decimals. This tool generates a new set of questions with one click. (Just click 'calculate now' and a new set will be generated each time - see instruction page.) Great for repeated practice for one-to-one's, intervention, homework and revision . Use over time to build up confidence and fluency! (NB: Requires Microsoft Excel- instructions on the first tab)

These could be used as a daily warm up/starter or as a mini homework for every day of the week. For each day there are 3 sets of questions at different difficulty levels - Great, Super & Awesome: These could be used in a variety of different ways e.g. - start on Great/Super and once you are getting most correct move up - use a different section per year group/per set - for a longer activity see if pupils can complete all 15 questions - use in form time/ for intervention This is also a great way to improve fluency and see progress as they can be marked quickly and pupils can keep track of their scores for each section over the course of the year. They are suitable for KS2/lower KS3

A massive collection of 116 puzzles for display on interactive whiteboards! These puzzles encourage lateral thinking and "thinking-outside-the-box" and are not really targeted at any specific year group. Volume 1 contains relatively easy puzzles so they could be used by a variety of age and ability groups from Year 5 all the way up to Year 11 as lesson starters or lesson ends, or a quick break from the rest of the lesson. Have used them for years with my own classes and they are very popular! Have updated them for amore modern look. Ideal for maths lesson as logical thinking is encouraged but could be used by teacher's of any subject. All sorts of puzzles are included involving coins, words, logic, matchsticks, sequences, trick questions, maths magic, physical and shape puzzles. Start the PowerPoint and choose your puzzle ! 116 puzzles mean there are enough for three per week for the whole school academic year! (HINT:- It may be helpful to use the coin and matchstick puzzles without the PowerPoint being run, because then students can drag and move the coins / matchsticks around on the interactive whiteboard! Enjoy..!

Remember the classic children's game Guess Who? Well this is Guess What! Designed to support and encourage childrens' mathematical reasoning and verbal questioning through playing a game. There are two versions - the shape game and the numbers game. The teacher chooses a shape or number and secretly writes this down on a piece of paper which is hidden from the children. Children then have to ask mathematical questions to eliminate shapes / numbers to ultimately guess the teacher's shape / number. Only questions with "yes" or "no" answers can be asked. E.g. Is your shape 3D? Does you shape have any curved edges? Does your shape have any equal sides? etc. Suitable for aged 9-14 children. Children can play whole class versus the teacher or in pairs in their book (to do this they just need to draw a 6 by 4 square grid in their books to correspond with the game board projected on the whiteboard! Lots of fun for children to enjoy their maths learning.
