In this activity, children must help a Peruvian family - The Garcia’s travel to Saransk for Peru’s first game. Their job is to find the cheapest possible route. they have four possible flight options, various hotels and ways of getting to the game. Students will work in small groups and use their mathematical knowledge (number, fractions, percentages, problem solving, division, ratio etc) to find the best option for the Garcia’s. I used this in my Year 5 class and they LOVED IT! This resource comes complete with all the props (airplane tickets, hotel list etc), teacher instructions explaining the activity and a PowerPoint which shows children the correct method and mathmatically explains it. I hope your class enjoy the activity as much as mine, please leave feedback and check out my shop for similar resources!

This is a test which tests the children’s ability to carry out the multiplication objectives for the Year 5 U.K national curriculum.It comes with a mark scheme. Please see my shop for other resources at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/d_roberts1

This is a lesson which teaches how to work out the differences in time on a 12 hour clock. It is pitched at Lower KS2 and is perfect for Years 3 and 4. It has a 29 page PowerPoint which clearly demonstrates how to work out the differences between times on a 12 hour clock using a scaffolded approach. There is then a fun, differentiated group activity where the children must solve various questions focusing on differences between times. Also, each sheet contains a problem solving extension. Their answers will correspond to a secret code which can be revealed for each group at the end of the activity using the PowerPoint. I have also included a lesson plan which I recommend using when teaching this lesson. I have used it several times now and it has been a great success! The children absolutely love defeating my mathematics villain, Dr Doom. Please rate and provide me with feedback. Similar Dr Doom (and other resources) are available in my shop.

Differentiated activities of multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1,000 created for my Y5 class.

Children have to decide which numbers has the X-Factor by reading the judges' comments and using their knowledge of factors. Finally, they must explain their knowledge of the word factor.

This is a resource children can use to multiply by four. They see that doubling a number twice is the same as multiplying by four. I call it the 'Double-double machine'. Here is my template complete with an example.
