This is a fun 1 on 1 or small group game to play with children gaining confidence in column addition (two digits, with carrying). This game is easily adaptable to a different question set. Rules: Choose 2 numbers from the list, and add them together using column addition. If the total matches one of the numbers in the grid, put a tick by that number. The first person to get any 5 is the winner.

25 worded questions mixing basic fractions (halves to quarters), multiplication (2 and 5), column addition and subtraction. Each set of five questions has one of each type of question, so could be split up into small groups for a class challenge, or for warm-up activities.

Challenge your group with this warm up/ cool down game to crack the code for the safe, using two and three times tables! This resource is easy to edit to fit your own times tables, and encourages group thinking to solve a fun puzzle requiring them to think laterally as well as use their problem solving skills!

Revision on column addition and subtraction (carrying and borrowing) and long division with remainders. These sheets are used for a review of basic techniques and question types before looking at worded or multi-step problems using these methods.
