Using the concept of lengths of snakes, I used jelly snakes alongside these activities to engage the children, activities to encourage children to find the difference between two lengths. For lower achieving pupils is an activity for them to use non standard units to compare the lengths of the snakes. For higher achieving pupils, they are required to measure in centimetres and find the difference in centimetres. Terms of use Copyright © Beth Cook. All rights reserved by the author.

The concept of doubling and halving is consolidated through the activities through the theme of Easter. There are three different levels for the activity: - the LA have small Easter eggs to double and halve amounts and complete in a grid. -the MA and HA have different numbers to double and halve (HA more challenging) Children can use a range of practical resources to support them through the activities.

A Shrek doubling and halving board game as an opportunity for your children to consolidate their understanding of doubling and halving in a fun and engaging way. I have used two levels of this game, for the lower ability children they have less on their board game. When playing this, children work really well together supporting and encouraging each other. For the lower achieving pupils I also use practical resources to help with doubling and halving. Terms of use Copyright © Beth Cook. All rights reserved by the author.
