For KS2 and KS3 as well as the multiple choice activities there are 2 packs full of treasure hunts on time, measures and fractions.
All are available as individual resources, Have uploaded them here to save finding and separate downloads.
Topics covered include proportion, limits of accuracy, converting degrees to radians (and vice versa), directed numbers, adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing fractions, finding and using means and other topics.
I hope you find them useful, please leave feedback
Also, let me know if you would like one making for a particular topic (I have plenty more lined up)
thanks
Tour de France relay
Great for and end of term or return to school activity
In teams of 2 or 3 a fun relay with challenging questions allowing the pupils to still be pushed and review several topics at the same time.
Takes 50 minutes on average to complete so a full lesson can be had from this
questions all relate to the tour de france and cover probability, speed/distance/time, ratio averages
answers included, pupils always enjoy the element of competition
(easy to adapt, I allow 2 marks per question. I get the pupils to pick 2 numbers before the start, have one worth 10 marks and only 1 attempt, the other loses all previous correct marks if they get it wrong on their only attempt at it)
hope you enjoy it
