A simple yet engaging ‘trick’ for any age or ability, I’ve used this worksheet with KS1, 2 and 3. All the child needs to do is write any number in the star and then double and halve it according to the instructions, so this can be easily differentiated with different sizes of numbers. Why not challenge the more able pupils by giving special conditions for the starter numbers they come up with? ‘Must be odd’, ‘All the digits must add up to 17’, ‘No zeros’ etc. Hours of fun!

Two different Maths Mats with tools and support for various areas of KS2 Maths, including: Place Value Calculator Mathematical Operations / Inverses Hundred Square Multiplication Grid Clock face with annotations Basic pizza fractions 0-100 number line in two halves Greater than / smaller than symbols with examples Fractions terms Equivalent fractions wall Negative numbers I made this originally for my Year 4 class but I think it could be helpful for other years too. I’ve given one to each child, laminated, with a Literacy Mat on the other side. They could also be blown up and hung as posters in the classroom. You could choose which of the two mats is more appropriate for each child in your class.

A fill-in-the-box worksheet where the children start with a random three-digit number (found on random number generator website or by using dice).

This worksheet introduces children to the concept of a.m. and p.m. and asks them to identify which should be used in familiar situations.
