I used this homework with a year 5 group. The children had to think of four word problems related to Minecraft, Diary of a Wimpy Kid etc.Talk through some examples with them. When you get the homework back choose the ones that are clear and make sense to photocopy for their next homework. They were actually enthusiastic about this homework! Please leave feedback.

PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK! The children are given a net of a cube separated in two parts and they have to work out the different ways to stick the two parts together so that the two pieces make a cube when folded. It works well when the children work in pairs. There is another activity in case any of them solve it quickly, but it look them longer than I thought so you might not need the second activity. There is a link of the smart board slides to the activity and the sheets you will need, which are from the nrich maths website. Please leave feedback!

In this lesson there is a link to a really good song about square numbers and I have put the song words on here. The Venn sheet comes from the nrich website and there is a link on here too. The categories on the Venn are square numbers and odd. The lesson includes a starter and plenary. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK!

Use the Smart board to take you through explaining the four games. Use the web link to download the free games: Pig, Boxes, Thirty up and Four Star. The idea is that they work strategically and use their knowledge to win! It should be a fun lesson. They can work with different partners. There is a plenary/reflection sheet at the end that can be stuck in their books.PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK!

This is for high level 2 and level 3 and is designed to revise lots of key position and direction vocabulary. There is a Smartboard to take you through the lesson. The children will need computers to go on for the main lesson. You will need to put the word doc with the game links on, on to your school network for the children to click on. The plenary is a simple vocabulary bingo game. PLEAS LEAVE FEEDBACK!

Cut up these questions and put on the desks for the children to answer. They can record the answers in their book, making sure they write down the number of the question and use the answer sheet at the end to self mark. For each question they have to use their knowledge of counting in 3s, 5s, and 6s etc to work out how many packets are needed. For all the questions they have to buy extra packets as the number they need to does not fit in perfectly.

Children choose from a list of numbers and have to work out all the multiplication sums that could make that number in total. There is an answer sheet for them at the end and a plenary/reflection sheet. They can only multiply 2 numbers (but you could make it harder by allowing more) and they are told how many possible ways there are. if you use it PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK!

The children LOVED this lesson! Follow the Smart board to understand what to do. The children try to answer the 10 division questions on each card as quickly as possible and then self mark before moving on to the next stage. Only let them have one stage at a time. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK!The questions get harder as they go along but there are no division with remainders questions. It is very motivation. (A few managed all 6 stages in half an hour-that's a lot of maths!)

This game could be made easier or harder. Cut up the cards and share them out. It uses different vocabulary for add and total. Time how long it takes and see if they can improve their score!

This is very motivational and fun but does assume children will have already got a good understanding of division with remainders! Follow the Smart board to understand what to do. The children try to answer the 10 division with remainders questions on each card as quickly as possible and then self mark before moving on to the next stage. Only let them have one stage at a time. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK!The questions get harder but it is possible for some to complete all 5 stages in a lesson!

The children have a chart with pictures of 3D shapes on and they have to write how many faces, vertices (remember this as the points and there is a point in the letter v) and edges the shapes have. They also have to write or draw pictures of any other objects they can think of which are the same shape.

This is a Smart Board resource I have made to go with the activity from the nrich website. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK! There is a link here to find the other resources/sheets you will need from the website. I have also made a recording sheet and a plenary sheet. The main aim of the lesson is to get the children to record their work as they go along, but they are also practising adding and subtraction skills. I have allowed calculators to be used but this could be made more challenging by not allowing them!

Aimed at level 3 children -Years 3 and 4-When you follow the Smartboard slides you will see that the children are given a real challenge. They have to draw the cube net out themselves. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK! All you need is to get a piece of squared A4 paper and photocopy it on to card. You also need some pens, stickers and sequins so they can make it special. They can write 'Top secret' and &'keep out&'; on their boxes! Most will need to make a few attempts at it. It is really good for their understanding of nets and 3D shapes.Remind them not to forget the flaps!

Children love to play these types of games. Download the rules to understand the different ways it can be played and to get the clues to read out. This helps them to learn quarters and fifths and some of their equivalent fractions too. It helps them to find the numerator (never under) and the denominator(down). PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK!

Follow the SB and the web link. The children have to make all the sides equal the same by trial and error. On the web link complete the first one together and then ask them to use the worksheet to find other totals. There is a reflection/plenary sheet for them to fill in at the end.

Read the very simple instructions. This will help the children to learn key times tables like 7x8, 7x7, 9x6 etc. There is an easier and harder game. The harder one includes some negative numbers to times. This is easy to use because all the children have the same bingo card. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK!

At SNOW STORES find something extra special for Winter, items range from an inflatable igloo to a snow dragon! PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK! There is a picture and price list and the children have to decide which items they would purchase and find the total and then answer various questions requiring them to add and finding totals. The price list and question sheets could be adapted to make easier or harder.

This lesson teaches children that subtraction means difference between and gets them to work out 3-digit subtraction on a number line. After working through some examples there is two levels of work which the children can do. I usually let them pick which difficulty they want to start on. The plenary is marking their own work, the answers are on the SB. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK!

This was part of our Egyptian topic to introduce the Gods. We try to link maths into our topic work where ever we can! On the word document you just need to draw in the circles! Please leave feedback!

This is from the nrich website and is called 'The Puzzling sweetshop&'. The children have to work out which sweets the characters can buy with 10p, 20p and 50p. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK! The children have to answer the questions, trying to work out which sweets were bought. I have made a Smart Board resource and worksheet to go with this and hints and teachers&'; notes can be found on the website.
