Hi! Welcome to my TES Shop. I've taught many children in KS2 and created these resources somewhere along the way - I hope you find them useful for your classes!

This is a Multiplying Fractions (by a whole number) activity, aimed at Upper Key Stage 2 children. The activity is differentiated for HA, MA and LA children. Children will be adding and subtracting fractions (as a recap), before moving onto multiplying fractions by whole numbers (and converting the answer to a mixed number). Children will then move onto similar activities involving, comparing, ordering and converting between improper fractions and mixed numbers (and vice versa). HA children will be completing missing number questions.
Children will need to understand how to find the common denominator, compare fractions, order fractions and convert from improper fractions to mixed numbers (and vice versa), in order to complete this worksheet. This activity does not cover multiplying fractions by fractions, only multiplying a fraction by a whole number.
Learning Objective:
I can multiply fractions by a whole number.
Includes answers!
This resource is aimed at a Year 3 class studying Grid Multiplication. Children are completing fluency and reasoning questions before moving onto worded problems. The worksheets are differentiated 3 ways for HA, MA and LA children.
This resource is intended to follow on from one of my other resources covering 3x and 4x. (link: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/grid-multiplication-mastery-questions-3x-and-4x-12046956)
The Learning Objectives covered by this resource are:
I can use the grid method to multiply by 3 and 4.
I can use the grid method to multiply by 3, 4 and 8.
Answers are included.
A short lesson I used for an interview based on Column Addition with a mixed Year 3 and 4 class. This lesson is probably suitable for a 30 minute slot.
Learning Objective:
To be able to use the column method of addition.
Included in this lesson:
Notebook file
3 way differentiated activity in docx and pdf format (pdf worksheets available here free: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12088888)
Human number line starter activity
Lesson plan
Extension task
Super extension task (This is an nrich activity, I did not create this)
Answer sheet
There are only 6 questions on each worksheet, but each differentiated pathway (Bronze, Silver, Gold) has its own extension activities. Alternatively, if the Bronze children finish their worksheet then they could choose a Silver one. Children self-assess which level is right for them (with this being an interview lesson this is the only way unless you can get the info beforehand) so be aware the children may not have self assessed correctly and may require the sheet swapping during the lesson.
This resource is aimed at KS2 studying the formal method of multiplication.
Children will be multiplying 2 digit numbers by 1 digit numbers. There are no fluency activities in this worksheet as this activity is solely based on reasoning and problem solving questions.

This is a commutative multiplication worksheet - aimed at Year 3 children. The worksheet has been differentiated 3 ways and could be used as a starter, main activity (depending on ability) and also a recap lesson.
Word documents provided for ease of editing.
Learning Objective:
To be able to understand what commutative means and that multiplication is commutative and division is not.
This resource is a homework sheet based around Improper Fractions and Mixed Numbers. It has been differentiated 3 ways and is aimed roughly at a Year 5 or 6 class. I have used this resource with Year 5. Answers are included for each sheet.
The homework covers:
Converting improper fractions to mixed numbers
Converting mixed numbers to improper fractions
Completing missing number questions
Using < , > or = to compare fractions and mixed numbers
Solving worded problems
This resource could also be used as part of a lesson.
This is a number facts and families worksheet, aimed at Year 3 children when learning about commutative multiplication and division.
The worksheet focuses on number facts and families, such as 2x6=12, 6x2=12, 12 ÷ 6 = 2 and 12 ÷ 2 = 6. Higher abilty children are faced with some missing number problems and then problem solving questions. All sheets are .docx files for easy editing to suit your class/children.
Learning Objective:
To be able to use number sentences, facts and families to show that division is the inverse of multiplication.
This activity is aimed at a Year 5 class covering the conversion of improper fractions to mixed numbers and vice versa. The worksheets are differentiated for HA, MA and LA pupils. Children will be completing missing numbers questions and using the symbols <, > or = to compare improper fractions and/or mixed numbers to each other.

This is a Comparing Fractions activity, aimed at Upper Key Stage 2 children. The activity is differentiated for HA, MA and LA children. Children will use bar modelling to compare fractions, before moving onto using < , > or =. Children will then move onto reasoning questions and missing number problems. I found it beneficial for the LA children to complete a more visual style activity (e.g. one using circles to show the comparisons before moving onto this task).
Children will need to understand how to find the common denominator in order to complete this activity. In addition, HA children will need to be able to order fractions.
Learning Objective:
To be able to compare fractions.
Answers included.
These are a collection of my Fractions resources. I have used all of these resources with a Year 5 class. The resources could also be used in KS2 as revision activities, for example in Y6. They follow the mastery approach and follow fluency, reasoning and problem solving.
Resources cover:
Adding & Subtracting
Comparing Fractions
Equivalent Fractions
Improper Fractions & Mixed Numbers
Homework sheets
Multiplying fractions by a whole number
Some of the sheets include answers and differentiation for HA, MA and LA pupils. This bundle is a great bargain over purchasing the resources individually.
This sheet shows the children the method to use when dividing by sharing. The example shows 6 ÷ 3 using sharing circles.
This is ideal to stick into children’s books, to help with a lesson or to be a part of a learning guide folder. I used these with a mixed age Y2/3 class to help them to remember the method during the lesson.
Here are a few column addition questions aimed at a Year 3/4 class. I used this for an interview lesson so there are only a few questions for each level - ideal for use as a starter or a quick recap session!
The sheets are differentiated, with the Silver and Gold sheets requiring children to complete missing number questions.
Learning Objective: To be able to use the column method of addition.
Full (albeit short) lesson is available here:

This activity asks children to multiply a 2-digit number by a 1-digit number using the grid method, then the part whole model, and then partitioning without a visual support (i.e just showing their working in their book).
I used this with Year 4 to recap the grid method and part whole models before moving onto column multiplication. The worksheet is differentiated 3 ways. Word and pdf files included.
