My class have been doing the book ‘How to train your dragon’ and a topic on Vikings- Years 4, 5 and 6. To link to this in maths we did these word problems Includes- 3 levels for addition- developing, expcted, greater depth and 3 levels for subtraction- developing, expcted, greater depth The subtraction have some multi step problems included- addition and subtraction

This sheet has 2 levels There is a sale on and the children must work out the price of the electrical goods during the Black Friday Sale.

Here are 6 different tasks I made. They are reasoning problems all based on some of the old Nrich maths problems for more able children upper KS2- but all altered and with a Christmas theme. Eric the elf Elf City Christmas Treats Mother Claus good Deals? North Pole Diner Christmas Animal Crackers Pack includes all 6 of the reasoning problems/tasks on easy to print/laminate individual sheets and all answers. This is a fun activity that keeps the learning going until Christmas and my class are loving these. I may well make some more (if I have time!)

I used this for my mixed year 5/6 class to assess the first week of place value. I chop them up and stick in books- then the child will tick which statements they think they can do in the first column and I tick the second column. There is also a space for next steps. My class found it useful.

I made this sheet for my class to do as an extension if they finish their work when we do factors. 2 problems to think about and explain their reasoning with a Raymond Briggs theme!

This pack includes 3 of my maths mastery/reasoning activities for KS2, all with an ELF Christmas theme. All answers included.

Sheets to stick in books with self assessment and teacher assessment columns. Includes: Descriptive writing Addition Subtraction Division Square / cubed numbers Fractions Shape/angles Prime numbers I used these with years 5 and 6- hope they are useful. Adapt as you need to :-)

Some word problems all require division and some require another operation too as they are multi-step. All Christmas themed and answers provided. I will be using these with years 5 and 6 next month Merry Christmas
