A great activity to secure coordinates understanding with the incentive of solving the puzzle.

Times table challenge and record sheet. Can be edited to suit. We added them into the school learning logs but could be printed onto card to distribute.

A great activity to secure knowledge and understanding of bonds. Mainly aimed at year 1 but could be used for SEN or beginning of year 2 as an assessment tool.

I used this resources to support my greater depth children to record their reasoning and to challenge each others thinking. A great resource to hit the objective ‘Use related multiplication facts to reason’

I created this for my class as i wanted evidence in Year 2 for this objective. I put the boxes underneath for the children to show their working. However that may be.

A tower which can be laminated and used as a great starter or lesson within KS1/Lower key stage. Children are required to get down the timer by mentally adding or using resources. Resources also comes with some key questions to extend the activity. Could be used to extend higher ability to think in a higher order way by guessing first before carrying out addition. 'How did you know?' type questions. Enjoy!

A division activity. Children could solve this physically first using concrete resources then move to using coloured pens/crayons to record within the treasure chests. I fins this way prepares my children for recording to find an answer within a test style situation.

Children use the coordinates to draw shapes and name.

Potion making recipes using non standard and standard units of measure. Create large buckets of water mixed with paint and glitter and have fun creating potions. Labels for 'ingredients' (water and paint) included.

A great way to encourage some greater depth thinking within position and direction. A few activities to encourage the use of key words. For higher ability children the key words could be removed. For Lower ability children their answers could be scribed for them and made practical using apparatus/resources.**

Y1 Fraction Dominoes - whole, half and quarter A way to get your children to see whole, half and quarter in a variety of ways :) I found this resource useful as my class were getting used to the half, quarter and whole of a 'pizza' that we see everywhere. Enjoy :)

A simple dice game. Children to roll a dice and read the corresponding fraction. The child then chooses a shape to colour. The first child to colour 4 shapes correctly in a row wins!

A great way to secure fact family knowledge and understanding.Can children manipulate the numbers given to them. Could they reason and explain how they know? Eg. ‘The biggest number must be at the front to be shared. The 2 smallest numbers multiply to make the biggest number.’

I split my class into mixed ability groups and ask them to answer the subtraction questions using resources of their own choosing. The questions go from LAP-AAP-AAP+-HAP. Children love working together to work out as many as possible!

Children to record different ways of making the number in the star. It could be just addition, subtraction or mixed. You could also edit for multiplication further up school. My children always come up with some great ways and this is a great way to assess the children's recall and mental ability before teaching calculation. Enjoy - If you would like me to edit or change, drop me a comment.

Children to find the missing numbers. Could be a mental and oral activity or a main teach using a number line/cubes/numicon within Year 1 or for an intervention.

Children to gather properties of 2D shapes within a table. Can children answer the higher order thinking questions in a sentence? or could they answer them and an adult record. All great evidence within a maths book. Aimed at Year 1 or shape intervention.
