I used these grids when I was training in a year 5 class and again in year 6. The children loved the challenge and the progression onto the next level. As the children became more and more fluent, I introduced time limits or delayed starts for the more able children. Please feel free to leave any feedback. Thanks!

Multiplication challenge sheet which I use as a starter once a week in Year 3. Chn have to answer all questions correctly in three mins to move onto the next challenge/multiplication table. I also get the chn to peer mark this activity. Edit for your preferred table by using Ctrl and F, and replace the ‘z&’ with your chosen table. Can also add additional lines to tables or shorten the time to add challenge higher in KS2.

Two differentiated sheets of measure word problems and answers. Using in Year 5 to extend into use of remainders in money and length context.
