Mental Maths Activities Year 4

Great for starters, warm ups or early finishers tasks, this is a Lower Key Stage 2 (KS2) BUNDLE of mental maths activities (Y4 - and Y3 once concepts have been covered / Primary 5 and 4), which includes the following 3 packs:

216 Self-Check Cards
8 Cross Number Puzzles Worksheets
15 PowerPoint Speed Tests

• Concepts included: Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, Doubling & Halving, Fractions, Decimals, Place Value, Money, Measure, Time and Angles.
• All in PDF format (and PowerPoint versions of the tests)
• As the tests and self-check cards include money questions in UK currency, I have included versions for countries that use dollars and cents
• Measure calculations are in metric

 
THE SAME RESOURCES ARE AVAILABLE FOR OLDER OR MORE ABLE STUDENTS:
Mental Maths Activities BUNDLE Year 5 / 6

 
Differentiation: The Year 4 / 3 resources are labelled SET B and the Year 5 / 6 resources SET A, so they can be used with different ability groups in the same class without children being aware of the age level.

15 PowerPoint Speed Tests

• 15 informal tests split across 3 PowerPoints, designed to be shown on the whiteboard with children recording answers on paper
• One question to a slide allows students to focus for a few seconds before the next one comes up
• The question slides are plain and uncluttered to minimise distractions
• Run the PowerPoint presentation on a timer or click it on yourself, perhaps allowing a little longer for more challenging questions
• Each test features 20 questions involving a variety of mathematical skills
• At the end of each test, the same 20 slides are repeated, with the answer added clearly
• Children can mark their own or a partner’s work to reduce your workload
• If short of time, whizz through the answers but the idea of each answer appearing with its question like this is that it allows for important discussions about strategies
• Additional PDF version included

 
216 Self-Check Cards

• A flexible resource that can be incorporated into many mental maths games and activities within the classroom, especially oral starters
• Laminate and use again and again as starter and early finisher tasks
• There are 12 calculations on each A4 sheet. Leave them as 18 A4 sheets or cut each of the question cards separately to create 216 cards.
• There are versions both with and without the answers printed below the questions
• The with-answers versions could be used by students questioning each other
• The version without the answers could be used by individuals testing themselves
• Separate answer card is included, which individuals could consult

 
8 CrossNumber Puzzles Worksheets

• A fun resource for early finisher tasks, mental starters, homework etc
• Tasks for individuals, pairs or small groups
• As in a crossword puzzle, children find it easier to work out some of the more challenging questions once they’ve filled in the easier ones as digits will already be there for them
• Answer grids for all 8 puzzles are included and could be printed for students to self-check (or displayed later on the board), cutting down on your marking!
