This worksheet is for use towards the end of a maths unit where the children start to make their own word problems for others to solve. The worksheet is split into two sections. The first part has a space for children to write their facts and question and another space for drawing a small illustration related to the problem. The second has spaces for using a bar model or equivalent to help determine how to solve the problem and then spaces for the calculation and answer.

I use this setup to type up different examples of addition and subtraction problems to show on the projector. It is fully editable as well, so could be easily adjusted for multiplication and division. There are spaces for place values up to 1000 as well as spaces for regrouping or carrying numbers on.

This introductory worksheet about 2D shapes, lines and curves, and types of circles, is split into three objectives and tasks. Here they are as presented in the document… LO: I can identify lines and curves in different shapes and patterns. Task: Sort out the Capital letters of the alphabet A-Z into the correct groups. LO: Recall the names of different 2D shapes. Task: Retrieve from your memory only, the names and spellings of as many 2D shapes as you can think of! LO: I can identify the different types (fractions) of a circle. Task: Use Google Image search to find real life examples of objects that are one of the following. Copy and paste them under the correct name. See if you can find three examples of each. One example of a semicircle might be half a slice of pizza. This worksheet is designed to be used online as a Google Doc but could also be printed. I use it in Google Classroom and create a copy for each of the children to work on.

This subtracting fractions worksheet is designed to be used online as a Google Doc, however it could still be printed out and used that way. It’s made up of 17 questions plus a bonus. Each question involves subtracting fractions of the same denominator. The calculations get progressively more difficult and the final few questions involve answers which require a written fraction name instead. It’s great for use in Google Classroom where every child gets their own copy. You can then easily check their individual progress live and then check their results.

This adding fractions worksheet is designed to be used online as a Google Doc, however it could still be printed out and used that way. It’s made up of 17 questions plus a bonus. Each question involves adding fractions of the same denominator. The final 6 questions involve either answers that are more than a whole and answers which require a written fraction name instead. It’s great for use in Google Classroom where every child gets their own copy. You can then easily check their individual progress live and then check their results.

This art/maths crossover is designed to be used online as a Google Doc. It could still be printed out though. It’s made up of a 10x10 grid in which children have to create a pattern or picture (with the Google Doc background changer) using six different colours. Once they have created their art, the second job is to identify the fractions of each of the colours they used in making it. It’s a fun way to connect maths and art and let’s the children create pixel type art. Expect a lot of Minecraft related stuff to be handed in! Finally, it’s great for use in Google Classroom where every child gets their own copy. You can then easily check their individual progress live and then check their results.

This worksheet could be printed out, but was designed to be completed by children online in Google Docs. It’s made up of 4 questions, a bonus and an extension task. Each question involves a table shape with different numbers of cells shaded different colours. Children have to identify the fraction of each of the colours shaded. It builds in difficulty up to where the children then have to place the fractions in order of size. The bonus question involves ordering fractions with different denominators. It’s great for use in Google Classroom where every child gets their own copy. You can then easily check their individual progress live and then check their results.

This worksheet is designed to be used as a Google Doc so children can complete it online, however, it could also be printed and used that way instead. LO’s: I can tell the time before and after a given time. I can tell the differences in time. It’s made up of two parts… Part A involves two clocks (a mixture of digital and analogue). One is the start time and the second is the finish time. Children have to find out the difference in times. An example is given at the start. Part B involves a series of word problems. Children have to find out how much time before or after a given event. The worksheet finishes with a riddle bonus question. It’s great for use in Google Classroom where every child gets their own copy. You can then easily check their individual progress live and then check their results.

I designed this worksheet to review the basic methods of bar modeling and used blocks from the Super Mario games to add a little more interest for the children. The worksheet is split into four parts. Each has a question, a bar model and a space for the children to do their working and answer underneath. All the questions are also Mario related and use relatively simple and round numbers. The objective is to encourage children to use bar modeling so they can help visualise what is required in a word problem, ultimately to help them choose the correct operation and solve the problem. Here are the four parts and the required operations for each… a) Part-part whole (addition) b) Comparison (subtraction) c) Equal Parts of a whole (multiplication) d) Equal Parts of a whole (division) It’s worth following up each model with children drawing their own for another example question. Please note that this worksheet is a fully editable document, so you can change any of the questions. And with some basic table editing skills, you can change the bar models by copying and pasting the different blocks where you need them.

This is a review for a maths unit on volume for LKS2. Four teams race to solve word problems involving volume so that they can open the locks on the mystery box. See the Code Breaker Template here for more details on what you need and how to setup this very popular activity.

This is a spinning wheel which is made of two parts, an top wheel which has a window and a door and a bottom wheel which has the questions and answers on respectively. Instructions: a) Print out the template on card. b) Children then write an operation, for example, 3x6 in the inner section, and write the answer in the outer section. Complete each part of the pie with other operations. c) Cut out the sections of other top wheel except the dotted line which will be a fold for the door. (You may need a cuter or Stanley knife for this). d) Use a push pin to attach the wheels together so they will spin. Decorate the wheels and then cut out. Usage: With the little flap door closed, spin or turn the top wheel to reveal an operation. Try and answer it before opening the flap to reveal the correct answer. *I usually use this for children to review a the more difficult of the timestables but it could be adapted for other short question and answers that require a bit of rote learning. It just makes it all that more fun to do. *

This is a fully editable template for a break out style activity that I call Code Breaker. Pre-requisites: You will need at least 1 numerical combination lock and one regular lock (the master lock) and a box or even multiple boxes that you can use these locks on. I made my own ‘Mystery Box’ which has 4 latches for 4 numerical locks. Then the whole thing is wrapped up with a chain and locked with the master lock - a key padlock. I mostly use it for reviews in maths but it could be adapted for other subjects. There are so many possibilities with this. It does take a little time to setup but the children go wild for it every time! The Setup: a) Write questions which have a numerical answer. b) Decide on which numbers will be part of the code for that numerical lock. For example, add all the answers together and the last three digits of that result are the code. (This is for a three digit numerical lock). c) Change the code on the numbered lock to match. d) Write a short phrase for the master lock using numbers. Usage: a) Fill the box with random treasures. I usually put in some cool erasers and other stationery as well as several packs of crisps or sweets and a whole bunch of fake money. b) Split the class into teams and provide each with a sheet for a lock. Start the timer. c) Children then solve the code and then and open their particular lock. d) Those that solve their lock first can start working on the master lock phrase. After telling you the correct phrase, you can provide the key. *Sometimes I don’t let them get the master lock sheet until after all the other numerical locks have been opened. * Notes: The master lock page has a large image of a lock on it which obscures parts of the code, thus making it a bit more difficult. Also, each letter has four potential numbers to choose from which also adds to the difficulty in cracking a code. You can also make cracking the codes for the numerical locks more difficult by adding more operations on the end. For example, you could use an equation for the letters of each question and then depending on the result you could say that the code is only made up of odd numbers. You can also make questions which don’t have numerical answers by having a simple text to number cypher. The most basic would be to correlate the letters of the alphabet to the number in which they appear. For example, A=1, B=2 etc. If the answer is say, Holland, you could write a short note saying second letter so the children know what to look for and convert into a number. *I hope my explanations are clear, but if not, please feel free to message me or comment. It’s very worthwhile setting this up and once you have the templates filled in, you can reuse them each year as I do. *

This game will help children review and improve their calculation of the timestables for numbers 1-6. Between 2-4 players works fine. Each group will need two dice and each player needs a different colour to shade their result on the grid. Instructions: Choose a different coloured pencil each and select who will start. The first player rolls the dice, multiplies the numbers together and shades the result. Rotate turns clockwise until a player has three in a row! The children really enjoy this game but sometimes get so carried away with blocking a friend that they miss opportunities to setup a win! Great game to get them thinking outside the box, inside the box. *The document is fully editable so you can change numbers or instructions as you please. If you have dice with more sides or number spinners etc. then you can move into higher multiples and change the numbers to suit. *

This worksheet is for children to record their estimates and actual masses of different classroom objects in grams. It comprises a table with three columns - the object name, the estimated ass (g) and the actual mass (g). To help them with their estimation I provide a set of masses for each child or group so that they can compare the objects to known quantities. Once they have estimated several objects they can then find the actual mass using a set of digital scales. The worksheet is fully editable so you can change it as you please. It could be easily adapted for mechanical scales.

This sheet is by the children to estimate and then record the content of various drinks after researching or provided with the data. The build-up for this process leads to those classic displays showing each drink container with the bag of sugar underneath to demonstrate the sheer amount in a drink or the lack of. The project is great because it covers all sorts of maths, health and science curriculum objectives and ultimately (hopefully) makes children reconsider what they drink or at least how much they drink of it. *The document contains two tables on each A4 page for saving paper. It is also fully editable so you can change headings, drink names etc. *

This worksheet entails children finding objects in the classroom to first fit a certain length range - Less than, more than and between lengths. Second, it asks that children find other objects and record and measure the exact length using a ruler or tape measure. It also has a column where they can estimate or predict the length of the object. I usually use it as an follow up to an introduction to length, measuring and measuring tools. It’s perfect for teaching about the phrases; less than, greater, than, equal to as well as how to estimate and to measure length using various tools. The download comes both as a PDF and fully editable DOC, so you can make changes as you please.

Four A4 pages of general information about how we measure length and with what, as well as what units we use. Used as a wall display to act as a reference for the children, when they’re learning about length in maths. *The document is fully editable. *

Several length word problems aimed at LKS2. Involving mainly addition and subtraction. Small spaces after each question for children to draw models and show their working. The final question involves calculating the perimeter of a basketball court from the given diagram. *The document is fully editable so you can alter the names or questions to suit your class better. *

This is a mass problem which involves determining the masses of various fruit on the pictured scales. Logic, addition and subtraction skills are required to solve the four parts to the challenge. You could use real scales with relative masses to help children grasp the ideas in this. The document is fully editable so you can can change the scale pointers, fruits or questions to create your own new and more challenging problems.
