Answers are included for ease of marking.
Match up task where children need to match the relevant polyhedron with both its name and correct properties.
There is a 1 and 2 star sheet with the same content but a difference in how much information is given to the child.
Shapes include, pyramids, prisms, sphere/hemisphere, cube/cuboid etc.
Match-up task where children identify different four sided and three sided shapes with their correct names.
Included are: square, rhombus, parallelogram, trapezoid, equilateral, isosceles, scalene, kite, rectangle.
There is a 1 and 2 star sheet (same content) where less information is given on the higher sheet and relies more on the child’s prior knowledge.
Task where children match up 2D polygons with their correct names.
The task is differentiated 3 ways where the higher sheets provide less information and rely more on pupil prior knowledge.
Sheet includes square, pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, octogon, nonogon, decagon.

Bonus algebra - balancing the scales - resource included.
All answers included for ease of marking. Suitable assessment tool or general lesson
9 differentiated problems that have to be solved using inverse operations and basic knowledge of algebra.
Children can complete the tasks in pairs, groups or independently.
There are three 1 star sheets for chn working towards.
There are three 2 star sheets for chn working around EXP level.
There are three 3 star sheets for chn working at GDP and need a greater challenge (the GDP problems bleed more into the four operations as opposed to the other sheets that focus on addition and subtraction).
Answers are included for ease of marking/over shoulder guidance.
A mean average word problem task with two levels of differentiation. Basic finding the mean and a second sheet incorporating more challenging problems.
Basic word problems
Interpreting information from tables and find the mean
For the two short, a question is also included that includes fractions and giving a fractional answer (this will involve adding fractions with different denominators and finding the average of the result).
This worksheet is available in both Word and PDF formats and can be given out in class as part of a plenary, main activity or for online learning.

Task that asks pupils to interpret data about the performance of football teams and then place 10 teams into a league table based on the information provided.
They will need to works systematically and use the following maths skills:
ordering
addition
multiplication
subtraction
finding the difference
use negative numbers in context
copy and place data into a table correctly
work logically and systematically
Task can be differentiated by changing expectation of what you wish pupils to do - e.g. you might just ask children to order the teams and simply provide their total points. Greater depths could be asked to fill the whole table with minimal support.
The cover page contains a couple of tips but this is down to the teacher to discretion as to how much support ‘tips’ they wish to provide.
Problem solving task to stretch children working at either expected levels or greater depth.
This can be done either as a group, partnered or individual exercise and gives a workout of the following skills:
area
perimeter
the four operations
money
application of skills - where and when to apply a certain operation
Some aspects of task may require some support from an adult or more able peer - particularly at the lower end of y5.
Answers (with formulas that work towards the answer) are included for ease of marking.
