Past paper SATS questions that all require understanding of equivalent fractions, decimals and percentages. Finding a common denominator is required, along with converting fractions and decimals to percentages. Some questions require fractions to be placed in order of size and there are pie chart SATs questions where an understanding of the fraction or percentage of the pie chart helps to solve the problem. All questions have a Youtube button next to them that can be pressed for a quick link to a video solution. This free booster is part of the complete 48 booster pack in the Ultimate Maths Organiser which can be found at the link below. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/2017-ks2-sats-ultimate-3-in-1-maths-organiser-11401293

Cross-curricular lesson(s) on distance- time graphs with a Hunger games theme. Links together Maths, English, Physics and possibly P.E. (could also link in with archery) Students begin to Interpret and construct distance-time graphs, looking at the stories that could be represented by parts of the graph and what type of movement the graphs could describe. This also includes a practical activity where students move around and graph their movements and opportunities for extended writing in which they describe the story that could be shown by a graph in more detail. This would be great for a break out week / end of term activity. Please let me know if you like this resource, thanks!

Real-life contextual Maths Lesson(s) on comparing phone tariffs by forming expressions for the costs and substituting - then an activity comparing different tariffs. For further investigation you could extend this into spreadsheets and make it into a project- useful for KS3/KS4 building functional money skills. Please let me know if you like this resource, thanks!

Teamwork exercise based around trying to recreate a hidden poster by working as a team. This version has a 2D shape poster so could be used when learning about properties of shape - pupils must look at the poster one at a time then return and describe to the team what they have seen. (i.e. there is a red parallelogram in the top left hand corner etc...) The same idea could be used for other topics - you just need another poster. Great for team work, ice breakers, discussion and lots of fun too! Please let me know if you like using this resource, thanks!

You will need to provide some tube of smarties (if you can get small funsize tubes thats better!). Pupils to explore different areas of maths related to number and data.

A One-Off functional Maths lesson on how to score in 10 pin bowling, you could combine this with PE/Art and carry out a practical where you play the game or even a trip to the bowling alley for end of term fun!! Areas of Mathematics include applying rules and addition. Please let me know if you enjoy this resource, thanks!

Print unlimited worksheets for column addition practice! Included is a worksheet generator with 3 worksheets of mixed questions with increasing difficulty, including decimals. This tool generates a new set of questions with one click. (Just click 'calculate now' and a new set will be generated each time - see instruction page.) Great for repeated practice for one-to-one's, intervention, homework and revision . Use over time to build up confidence and fluency! (NB: Requires Microsoft Excel- instructions on the first tab)

A fun vibrant lesson to introduce sample space diagrams. You will need 2 dice. Roll the dice and add them and the car with that total moves forward - who will win?! Pupils then create the sample space and calculate the probability of winning for each car. Now play the game again, and discuss the results. This also includes a Y7 probability assessment with ms. (I have also used this with Y6 after SATs as a fun introduction to probability ready for KS3)

Remember the classic children's game Guess Who? Well this is Guess What! Designed to support and encourage childrens' mathematical reasoning and verbal questioning through playing a game. There are two versions - the shape game and the numbers game. The teacher chooses a shape or number and secretly writes this down on a piece of paper which is hidden from the children. Children then have to ask mathematical questions to eliminate shapes / numbers to ultimately guess the teacher's shape / number. Only questions with "yes" or "no" answers can be asked. E.g. Is your shape 3D? Does you shape have any curved edges? Does your shape have any equal sides? etc. Suitable for aged 9-14 children. Children can play whole class versus the teacher or in pairs in their book (to do this they just need to draw a 6 by 4 square grid in their books to correspond with the game board projected on the whiteboard! Lots of fun for children to enjoy their maths learning.

Fun Maths Project based around pizza, contains 5 lesson ideas which could be extended further over 2 weeks and also linked in with making some pizza. Pupils work in pairs or teams: - Angles and fractions - Split the pizzas into fractions with a protractor and compass. Optional Practical lessons – split some real pizzas (could link with a pizza making lesson) into different fractions share them out, add up how much pizza you have with calculations e.g. 1/4 + 2/10 + 1/6 =. - Design a pizza with rotational symmetry and work out the cost. - Discovering pi – measure the diameter and circumference of circles. (Great links into KS3 maths) - Calculate circumference and diameters and design box for the pizza drawing out a net - Complete Reasoning problems in a carousel with a pizza theme Perfect for a summer term project and ideal for year 6 after SATs. This resource contains a powerpoint with answers and printable sheets.

These Estimation games are fun for all ages! Split your class into 5 teams and display the question and picture on the interactive whiteboard. Play the timer and the teams will have 30 seconds to discuss their best estimate for that question. Then take each teams' estimate and reveal the answer. Closest team gets three points, second closest two points and third closest gets one point. Other teams get nothing! Features 3 versions (1 for each term) with mixed questions - perfect for end of term fun - students will surprise themselves at how good (and bad in some cases!) their estimates are, whilst learning interesting and new facts at the same time. Tried and tested with my own classes for several years, students love it!

A vibrant Power Point assembly used to aid in changing a negative Maths culture within school into a positive one! Suitable for ages 10-16, also contains a hyperlink to a youtube video about attitudes towards Maths so internet access will be needed to make full use.

Who will be Champion? is based loosely on Who Wants to be a Millionaire. Instead of 4 options for each question, there are 5 . Pupils must identify the correct answer amongst the 4 incorrect ones. They can vote interactively with their feet if you rearrange your classroom/hall or simply circle their choice on the provided pupil score sheet. Questions include a mixture of trivia, on Sports, World Records, Althletics & Olympic/Paralympic facts. Mathematical knowledge of decimals and measurement of time, distance and mass are also tested. A countdown timer included on each slide to allow time to vote for each answer. Suitable Y5-Y8 .

Generate great discussion and lots of opportunities for questioning, with this lesson designed to target common misconceptions for the topic of Area and Perimeter. Each slide has a question with 3 possible answers. Sometimes one or two are correct, sometimes none. The lesson is based around a discussion of, - Who is correct? - What have the others done wrong? Pupils need to work together in pairs or teams and just need a whiteboard/paper to make notes. This makes for some really interesting discussion and this lesson has been used for teaching training purposes as it really highlights pupils thinking on the topic and the common misconceptions. Just reassure them that it’s OK to make mistakes and learn from them! Suitable upper for KS2/KS3
