The saga continues! Students have kept requesting more of these -so here is Part 3. This lesson focuses on mental addition and subtraction this time. The ‘secret agent’ has been found and now the pupils are looking for ‘the villain.’ All suggested by students in my classes. I hope your students enjoy these lessons as much as mine have!

By popular demand from students - PART 2 of the Secret Agent maths. In this Secret Agent code-breaker activity ask your students to attempt to solve the addition problems without using formal methods. This lesson is all about speed - can they find quick ways to add? This skill is essential to build up mathematical confidence and dexterity - children will feel empowered to know they can use many strategies and start thinking about the most efficient, speedy but accurate ways to add. Reviewing pupils’ working in this lesson is crucial - its important pupils get to see how we can all use different methods effectively. This fun, engaging maths encourages pupils to work in different ways and learn from each other. You may find children having ‘lightbulb moments,’ realising they don’t always have to be constrained to formal, column addition methods.

Step 5 - Step 9 Covering: Step 5 Order numbers to 1000 Step 6 10 more and 10 less Step 7 Multiples of 4 and 8 Step 8 Multiples of 50 and 100 Step 9 Number lines to 1000 This also includes an END OF UNIT TEST to go over all work covered.

Year 3 maths step 2 - recognising numbers in different representations. Lots of great, engaging pictures to support a concrete-pictorial-abstract approach. Pupils are asked to identify numbers in many different pictorial representations. Bronze, Silver and Gold for differentiation. Bronze quite straight-forward recognising place value in pictures, silver moves on to a bit more reasoning and problem solving with different representations and gold is much more abstract and not needing use of pictures.

Step 1 Colourful and visually engaging resource for Year 3 learners to understand place value of 3-digit numbers. Includes fun problem solving activities such as spot the mistakes and solving number riddles/problems. Challenge is ensured with Bronze, Silver and Gold differentiation. Answer sheet also included.

A colourful and bright lesson which children will really enjoy. Children have a budget to stick to and pictures to cut and stick to create their own country garden. This will involve addition and subtraction as well as times-tables and even spatial awareness when plotting their designs. The lesson has 3 parts which could easily be spread over a few lessons as part of a project or just as a fun end of term/topic activity. Hope your class enjoy this!

This is a code breaker addition lesson which will really inspire the children to crack the code. It has been used before for successful job interviews but I have recently updated it to be more current. This is a great lesson which will really engage learners. Suitable for Year 3 but equally valuable for Year 4 and 5, even 6 as it reinforces mental maths skills which are vital. Hope you enjoy it and please leave a review! Thanks!
