A detailed and comprehensive maths investigation based on designing and running your own theme park. Task 1: Planning your site using squared paper on a £500,000 budget Task 2: Running your theme park Task 3: Deciding on entry price (revised) Task 4: Profit on entry fee (revised) Task 5 - Profit & Loss Task 6 - Annual Profit Task 7 - Making Improvements Task 8 - Running your theme park Task 9 - Entry Fee Task 10 - How many visitors? Task 11 - What are your profits Task 12 - Taxes and Insurance Task 13 - Your loan 18 further tasks now included taking you up to the final season (season 3) The investigation gives the children opportunities to practise key aspects of number including adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing and finding percentages of numbers. The investigation takes the children through step by step, they are in complete control of their spending and decide exactly what is included in their park. It also gives the children an insight to running a business with taxes, insurance and running costs all included. They learn about the power of marketing and the effect this has on the visitors to their park and their profit. We have also included a spreadsheet which children can type into to work out their profit or loss and a smart board file to help with your teaching. Finally, we have added a ‘design an advert’ competition where the winner wins some spending money for their park.

A great mental maths resource which is perfect for the beginning of the lesson. However what makes these loop cards different to other packs is that they are differentiated, meaning that all the children in the group/class can be challenged or participate in the activity. This pack of loop cards are differentiated three ways and are indicated by a traffic light. Red light - designed for the more able children in the class/group Yellow light - designed for the middle group in the class Green light - designed for the less able children in the class/group Once the class or group have completed the loop card activity once, why not time them to see if they can complete the 'loop' in a faster time. Each child could keep the same card or they can be rotated between groups. TOP TIP - After printing, why not laminate so that you have a resource which can be used over and over again? Included in this set are 32 loop cards which include questions where the children have to multiply and divide numbers by 10 and 100. There are 4 loop cards on each A4 sheet, making them easy to keep and store.

You may want, for example, to have different groups of children working on different investigations. Statements to be investigated include: Digits in the 9x table add to 9. Add any four even numbers. Now divide the total by 4. There is no remainder. On each A4 sheet there are two maths statements and the pack also includes an A4 instruction page with possible extension activities.

Our 'Terrific at Tables' activity pack provides children with weekly times table practice. This pack comes with 12 weeks of activities with a different multiplication times table focused on each week from 2x to 12x. The final week will include a mixture of all the times tables covered.

A spider diagram activity where the children have to record related facts. A speed test which includes a range of multiplication tests and associated division facts. This resource is perfect for regular practise of times tables and can be completed at various times throughout the week. Over time the children will become multiplication experts allowing them to apply skills to other areas of maths and therefore gaining in confidence in a range of mathematical areas. These activities are aimed at children in lower KS2 but can be used across the key stage. The activities are best to be completed in books or on paper. These activities are provided in both PDF and PowerPoint format so they can be displayed on a whiteboard or printed out.
