This worksheet uses the game of darts to help consolidate knowledge of addition and subtraction. It can be used with or without a real board and darts. You could even use an online game instead. It really helps add some extra enjoyment to maths! The first section of the worksheet involves getting accustomed to the board - knowing what each section of the board is worth. This involves some multiplying by two and three for doubles and triples, but repeated addition could be used for younger learners. The second part of the sheet involves calculating a score of three darts and then subtracting that total from 101, which is this particular game of darts. The final part involves continuing the game and trying to finish with exactly zero. A professional game of darts usually finishes with a double but it could be a single number to make it more likely new players can finish. The worksheet comes in a DOC format, so most parts are easily editable.

We study the Storm Unicorn by Pie Corbett during literacy. Leading up to this we look at other examples before the children write their own (non-chronological) report with the aid of the text. This is a re-write of the Storm Unicorn called the Time Unicorn. Sub-titles have been added in as we encourage the use of them for better organisation. There is also another report by Pie Corbett called the Frost Unicorn which we use in addition to this as another example report text. I also have another re-write in my store called the Candy Unicorn. The document is fully editable so you can change parts as you please.
