Hi, This resourse focus on allowing the children to engage in key critical thinking skills and practice their skills in place value, adding and subtracting. The 20 questions vary from asking the children to Fluently add and subtract within 1000 using strategies and algorithms based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction and reading and writing numbers to 1000 using base-ten numerals and number names. I’ve included a word version so you can edit the questions to suit the needs of your class. Here’s some suggested ways to use this resource. Cut them up and laminate them- place them on the tables and ask your pupils to collaboratively solve them. Stick them in the children’s books and get them to answer them. After the children have solved a few ask them to place them in order of difficulty - ask them why and what they found most difficult. Thanks for buying this resource and I really hope that it helps your class with their learning.

Hi, This resource focuses on multiplication, area and perimeter and allows the children to use reasoning and problem solving skills to solve two investigations. The investigations focus on the 9 and 8 times tables. Investigation 1: Santa wants a new floor design for his grotto 10m x 10m and a new floor design for his ballroom 20 m x 20 m (for higher attainers) Investigation 2: Santa would like to know how many presents fit in each room. Children have to work together to solve. There is a short task to solve the presents area and perimeter which involves the 9 and 8 x tables. Feel free to edit this resource to suit the needs of your class. For example, you could change the multiplication, area size to 5 x 5 or change the grotto to the sleigh. Also you could change the actual measurement to cm and get children to draw in books. I am going to get children to cut areas from spare grids and place on until they have a final version. I’m also going to set my highers off with the challenge of only using calculations to solve first. Hope your class enjoy it and have an awesome Christmas!

This advent calender is great to add a bit of fun to problem solving and reasoning. It covers subtraction, addition, multiplication and division. Simply click on each window on the calender and a problem for that day appears. There are 23 problems. Many have the answers and structures to model the answer. I hope that this resource challenges your pupils. Feel free to adapt each problem to suit the needs of your class.

**The aim is to improve pupils scores over the year and parents/teachers are encouraged to either record time or score to see if the child can better themselves each time. I also use these in class as revision aids or for quick games like make a column or row v a partner. Recently, I’ve started quizzing my class at the end of the week on the colour that they are on in the style of a Maths Bee! A bit like a spelling bee but obviously with Maths facts! The children love it!** I also use these as homework activities every week! That means there are 23 weeks worth of Mental Maths Homework with this resources This is set 3 and covers curriculum areas in Years 3 and 4 Included in this resource is set 3 of challenges that I send home to parents to help increase my pupil’s mental maths abilities and readiness for any impending Multiplication test at the end of Year 4! The pdf is a thorough guide on how to use and gives yourself and the parents suggestions on how to use and adaptations to try at home. There are 23 challenges with 13-15 questions for each challenge. Each challenge/colour set is broken down into 3 abilities. 1 star 2 stars and 3 stars. I really hope that these help support and further your class. Any feedback would be welcome as I’m currently trying to create other sets for Reception to Year 2. Many thanks

Hi, thanks for viewing. Here is a series of 4-5 lessons that cover place value. Over 80 slides. The slides support the teaching of mastery by starting with basic concepts and taking all the class with you as the tasks get trickier. These tasks are designed for children to use practical equipment to support their learning. The lesson activities include true or false Q’s, individual tasks, guess the number an build, connect four and many more. We have recently introduced double maths sessions with a break splitting them, this has given us time to embed concepts and use the correct vocab. It has also allowed the children to discuss Maths at length and these slides support this. You can use this as a 1-2-1, small intervention or whole class resource. You van change the sequence of sessions but I’ve created them so that they build upon skills and hopefully link together :) I hope that you find this resource useful. Many thanks

This resource includes an IWB presentation. Within the IWB there are set Q’s and tasks for the children to complete.

Here is 1 sheet of 10 more 10 less 1 less 1 more puzzle grids. Ask the children to try and solve the number sentences to solve the numbers they must add/subtract 1 or 10 more/less than. I've included some coins for the children to recognise and keep their skills up to date. Thanks

This worksheet uses Minecraft to enthuse the children to learn position and movement. Some of the questions stretch the children by asking them to write instructions for a beebot and some q's have Minecraft objects that start in a diagonal position. I hope your class enjoy using this resource. Many thanks

This 1 more/less 10more/less hunt can be differentiated many ways. I have already differentiated it 5 ways for my own class and printed out the sheets on different coloured paper for each group to find. Once the children have found the coloured shape that they've been given they must solve 1 more/less or 10 more less depending on their ability. They record on the answer sheets provided in the download. I hope this helps and feel free to differentiated to suit your class. Many thanks

Here are 30 questions that promote critical thinking. They are based upon the mastery approach .
