Practical worksheet for comparing the masses of various objects that can be found in the classroom. Children select objects to compare using a set of scales. They have to find objects that are heavier than, equal too and lighter than. Used to help teach about comparing mass and using scales. Comes as a fully editable DOC and also in PDF format. *Ideally requires the children to use a set of balance-beam scales, although any type of scale for measuring mass could be used. *

This editable concept sheet for Whiterose Maths is made up of four characters from White Rose and four speech bubbles. Children can use this to state different concepts in the unit they’re learning. The speech bubbles and character names are fully editable.

This fun 8-bit styled presentation allows 2 players compete to solve a calculation as quickly as possible. The whole thing is fully editable so you can change the problems to suit your children’s abilities. The idea is to set your own problems (of increasing difficulty), project the presentation onto the white board and then select two children of equal ability to come up and race to solve the problem on the board. Really fun activity for them to do and it allows you to easily identify any problems straight away and then work through it with the whole class. You can also encourage student talk by having the winner explain their working. All in all, a simple but effective way to review and reinforce content.

A selection of 10 different colourful, engaging and fully editable starters for Maths lessons. Mental activities designed to get the children warmed-up and ready for their lesson. A two minute timer is also included on each as well as a (more) link on some slides to easily find new content. The activities included are the 24 Number Game, One in Thirty-six, Countdown, Columns XYZ Challenge, A-Z Speed Maths, Codebreaker, What’s the Question, Riddle me This, Sequence and Secret Pathway. Each starter already has an example in it which is aimed at UKS2 level. However, all the content can easily be changed to suit your children’s abilities. Each fortnight, I take a bit of time to set up the starters and then they are ready to go at the beginning of each lesson for two full weeks. The variety of activities keeps the children engaged and looking forward to the next and I hope your children enjoy it as much as mine do.
