4 sets of worded problems asking children multiplication questions based around the theme of soap making and production, units of measurement for the questions include £ and pence and g and ml BA, 2 digit by 1 multiplication A, 2 digit by 1 and 2 digit by 2 AA 3 digit by 1 digit multiplication HA some 4 digit by 1 and some decimal amounts by 1 and 2 digits

A great lesson this, requiring children to use their measuring skills, fraction knowledge and multiplication skills. There are 4 tables of common different classroom objects children have to measure, including editable names of children in the class! (Just made up in this example, but I changed to include names of children in my class, created a real buzz) Children have to measure the objects, record the length, then find the fraction and record their answer. The BA have to find 1/3's and 1/10's A have to find multiples of 1/3's and 1/10's AA have to find a mixture of different amounts including 1/10's 1/5's and 1/3's and the MA have to find even more complex fractions of amounts of the objects they have measured.

A set of 4 way differentiated questions asking children to find fractions of amounts. The BA questions ask children to find 1/2 and 1/10's The A questions ask children to find 1/2 1/5's and 1/10's The AA questions ask children to find 1/2, multiples of 1/5's and multiples of 1/10's requiring children to find 1/5 and 1/10 first then multiply by the numerator The challenge questions ask children to find quantities of a variety of 3 digit amounts

4 sets of differentiated division worded problems used with Year 4. For the BA the questions only ask children to divide by 2, 5 and 10 For the A they have to divide 2 digits by 1 And for the HA 3 digits by 1 digit division The Blue group questions provided a real challenge asking children to divide 3 digits by 2 and some 4 digits by 2 Children can use their multiplication facts, bus stop division or short division methods to help them

Two differentiated sets of questions assessing children's place value and ability to divide by 10, 100 and 1000 Also contains a PowerPoint with 2 sets of models how to divide by 10, 100 and 1000 using the place value chart also with questions to assess. They simply walk children through the steps needed to divide by 10, 100 and 1000 Used with year 4

Looked around for a long time at these multiplication jigsaws, such a good idea for lesson starters/plenaries but couldn't quite find the one I needed, and one I used had a mistake in! So I decided to create my own version where all the questions and answers can be edited, the rotation is all set up in a PPT file which took the time to sort This means that this jigsaw can be used/adapted to suit any maths need, or any other subject for that matter. At the moment the current version is set up with questions in the 6 and 9 times table

A set of different multiplication worded problems differentiated 3 ways. For the BA they are asked to multiply mainly units by units using common multiplication facts with a few TU x U For the A there questions involve multiplying TU x U For the HA the questions ask children to multiply HTU by U Used with year 4, questions and numbers can be edited/adapted

A set of different coloured balloons with the names of the months written on them. They can either be printed out and laminated to create a whiteboard on which children's names and birthdays can be written or edited on the computer and printed out

For the HA the table is blank allowing them to 'box up' the stories key events for themselves and plan their innovation to re-write. A great resource for helping children cover the NC objective of being able to: plan their writing by:  discussing writing similar to that which they are planning to write in order to understand and learn from its structure, vocabulary and grammar  discussing and recording ideas
