KS2 Maths Intervention Games and Activities: DIRECTIONS & INSTRUCTIONS

12 targeted activities which are designed to 'close the gap' in this key area of understanding. The activities are suitable for children in KS2 who may have gaps in their knowledge and understanding and would benefit from some intensive (but fun!) intervention work.
