This is revision material for a range of basic techniques, finding e.g. - 2/5 of 20 - 25% of 40 - 35% as a decimal Full solutions included.

This is a series of simple questions to give pupils practice in estimating a variety of different units in real life circumstances. The questions are straightforward but should produce a good basis of discussion. There is estimation in a variety of units and also some measuring. Full solutions included.

These are a series of fractions problems set in real life contexts. They all involve percentages that can be converted into simple fractions, such as 10% = 1/10. Because of the real life contexts and gradually increasing difficulty I have found that even pupils who normally struggle will be keen to finish the sheet.

A series of fun challenges working out what comes next. Some are mathematical, some require more lateral thinking. Good as an extension activity. Full solutions provided.

This is an investigation into the different uses of stones and pounds (UK), pounds (USA) and kilograms (Europe) for weighing people. By the end pupils should be able to convert between the units effectively. Skills used: - Mental arithmetic - Converting between units - Rounding (the conversion numbers are approximate only) Full solutions provided on the Power Points.

This is an investigation to get pupils thinking about different units. The Power Point begins with an introduction, then a few questions to get pupils thinking about different units, and finishes by describing the investigation they should do, finding out more about one type of measurement and presenting their results.

This is four different whole class activities practising times tables. There are four versions of the same game, with increasing difficulty: - easy multiplication, up to 7 x 7. - slightly harder multiplication, up to 8 x 8 or 9 x 7. - all multiplication up to 9 x 9, with few easy questions - all multiplication up to 12 x 12.

An introduction to time. Reading the time from clocks, then difference between two times, and finally a challenge with times in the school weak. Full solutions provided.
