A set of four differentiated mazes for student to colour a path through, counting on in tenths or hundredths (or just ones for SEN). Plus a blank grid for students to design their own mazes. Year 4 Learning Objectives:  count up and down in tenths and hundredths.

Inspired by NCETM guidance (which is attached), this bundle of multiplication resources is superb for moving students through CPA process (concrete, pictorial, abstract), also includes NCETM lesson plan and questions from the `Models and Images`resources. Bundle includes: Multiplication as an arrray Multiplications as repeated addition Multiplication on a number line Problem solving

This is a fun activity which encourages problem solving and mastery within place value, (plus a little bit of revision with co-ordinates too!) My class loved it. Learning Objectives for this activity: Y5 Learning objective - to multiply whole numbers by 10, 100 and 1000. Y5 Learning objective – to determine the value of each digit in numbers up to 1 million. Y5 Learning objective - to add whole numbers with more than four digits, including using formal written methods (columnar addition and subtraction). Y4 Learning objective – describe positions on a 2-D grid as co-ordinates.

Two activities for students to practice representations of tenths as fractions, pictures, decimals and in words. Covers LO: LO: Recognise that tenths arise from dividing an object into 10 equal parts

Inspired by the Year 5 Mastery documents, these maths trails practice basic addition and subtraction skills. Calculations are presented within parenthesis to begin to expose students to algebraic layouts in Year 5. Four differentiated trails: High ability (numbers to 10,000), Medium ability (numbers into 1000`s), Lower ability (numbers in the 100`s) SEN (numbers up to 100)

This was so useful in showing the class a range of different graphs for the same data, and in improving their reasoning ability on what each graph shows. Correct reasoning is modelled in the task and the students then went on create their own, using mastery level reasoning skills. Superb for sparking discussion. In both powerpoint (editable) and pdf format

This Talk time discussion activity was inspired by NCETM Mastery documents. Zippy Onion our class mathematician sparks reasoning and discussion on place value around the Year 4 Learning Objective - Find 1000 more or less than a given number. I have given four to page for ease of printing.

True or false activity to promote reasoning with rounding. Suitable for Year 4 and/or a quick revision activity for Year 5 Year 4 LO - To round decimals up to 2 decimal places.

Plot quadrilaterals and then transform the shape, using this game. Learning Objectives (from New Curriculum) covered are: LO - classify geometric shapes, including quadrilaterals and triangles, based on their properties. LO -  describe positions on a 2-D grid as coordinates in the first quadrant. LO - describe movements between positions as translations of a given unit to the left/right and up/down. LO -  plot specified points and draw sides to complete a given polygon.

This activity combined our History topic of Romans, with our Maths focus of measurement, plus a little bit of shapes and fractions thrown as an assessment of the previous units taught. Students receive a letter from Emperor Hadrian, with the command to rebuild sections of Hadrian`s Wall. They then worked in differientiated groups for calculate the correct measurements for the wall. Once the correct measurements had been calculated they then used their knowledge of 3-D shapes to build the wall. I have included the activity and instructions in pdf and word format for editing. My class loved it, but I have to be honest - it took them all morning! Learning Objectives covered: Geometry: Property of Shapes: • Draw 2-D shapes and make 3-D shapes using modelling materials. Measurement: • Measure, compare, and add lengths (m/cm/mm) • Continue to measure using the appropriate tools and units, progressing to using a wider range of measures, including comparing and using mixed units and simple equivalents of mixed units (for example, 5m = 500cm). Fractions: • Recognise, find and write fractions of a discrete set of objects. • Recognise that tenths arise from dividing an object into 10 equal parts and in dividing one-digit numbers or quantities by 10

A bundle of 10 Addition and Subtraction activities inspired by NCETM Maths Mastery and Reasoning documents. Perfect for lesson starters to encourage discussion and reasoning between students AND as a cheeky bonus, using them, means you always have written evidence of students problem solving and reasoning skills! Presented in easy to photocopy format, with 4 activities to a page. LO`s included: LO – To add and subtract 3 digit numbers mentally. (Yr. 3 - Mastery and Mastery with greater depth) LO - Solve problems including missing number problems, using place value and more complex addition and subtraction. (Yr. 3 – Reasoning & Problem Solving) LO - Add and subtract numbers mentally, including: a three-digit number and ones; a three-digit number and tens; a three digit number and hundreds. (Yr. 3 – Reasoning & Problem Solving)

16 activities to help your class count on in tenths, and recognize and use fractions on a number-line. This includes 15 exercises investigating fractions on a number-line, including some concept cartoons to encourage student reasoning. Plus an additional snap/matching game, matching fractions to number-lines to diagrams.

Inspired by NCETM Maths Mastery documents - Zippy Onion sparks discussion on rounding, students are encouraged to record their reasoning on facts known, also includes a self-assessment grid. Year 4 objective - To reason on rounding facts known. I have included four per sheet for ease of photocopying.

A printable template to encourage children to see calculations as arrays, on a number-line , as repeated addition and pictorially. Shrink them down and use them for starter activities too. I used it this week with my Year 3 class and they loved it.

Make basic addition and subtraction more engaging with these triominoes. Students simply cut out the individual triangles on each sheet, and then reassemble into a larger triangle with each calculation matching its correct answer. Four differentiated sheets: Higher ability (addition and subtraction with numbers into millions) Middle ability (addition and subtraction with numbers to 1 million) Lower ability (addition and subtraction with numbers into thousands) SEN (addition with numbers to 25) In two different formats - pdf and powerpoint (editable)
