Questions involving different colours and numbers (and different sizes thrown in for good luck) to use both sides of the brain at the same time. PLEASE REVIEW / COMMENT. Notebook file is displayed on SmartBoard. Students use mini-whiteboards. Uncover the first question, students work out the answer and hold up mini-whiteboards, uncover the answer and then repeat with next question. Topics included: arithmetic, factors, multiples, mean and median.

Learners work out the rules in order to find the missing numbers (each column of numbers undergoes the same operation to get the next column of numbers). PLEASE REVIEW / COMMENT. Notebook file to be displayed on SmartBoard. Students can work in their books or be given worksheets to use. As an extension activity, they can try finding the algebraic expressions.

Series of mental arithmetic questions which follow on from the previous answer. PLEASE REVIEW / COMMENT. Notebook file is displayed on SmartBoard. Students use mini-whiteboards. Practice questions are given on the left in green. Once ready, uncover each question in turn. When the final instruction is uncovered, students hold up their mini-whiteboards to show their answers. Uncover the bottom answer to check. Each page is progressively more difficult.

Featured in the TES Newsletter. Adventure game in which students answer probability questions in order to rescue a princess. PLEASE REVIEW / COMMENT. There are 5 sections, each with 2 topics.
