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.

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.
