Four quick daily maths questions based on Year 4 Maths objectives with answers. Ideal for early morning work to keep revisiting and revising maths objectives. Ten weeks worth of questions.

Three power points - a one-step and two two-step presentations - could be used at the beginning of a lesson as mental warm ups. As the inputs and outputs are gradually revealed the children should be guessing what the function (s) could be and adjusting their thoughts as further examples are revealed. All have been used successfully with classes of year 6 children.

This resource consists of a series of clues that require the children to apply their knowledge and understanding of known terms such as square numbers, prime numbers, factors, multiples, odd/even, triangular numbers and digit sum, to guess the number being described. I have used it as a mental warm up at the beginning of a maths lesson with the children (after each clue) recording their numbers on white boards. As a new clue is added, the children adjust their responses by deleting numbers that do not fulfill all of the clues. It is great for reinforcing but also assessing understanding.

A resource to encourage pupils to use inverse operations to work backwards to solve ‘I am thinking of a number’ problems. Great to use at the beginning of a maths lesson as a mental warm up or as a SATs revision activity.

This resources consists of three power points which introduces the use of letters to represent variables in mathematical situations that the children already understand. They would be ideal for quick mental starters at the beginning of maths lessons with the children recording their responses on white boards. The power points become progressively more complex.
