Clever Bee Resources

Average Rating4.69
(based on 34 reviews)

After 19 years at the chalk face, I have a very good idea of what works and what doesn't. The resources in my shop have all been designed and used by me throughout my career and have been tested on live children (none of whom were injured in the process) If you'd like to see a resource I haven't yet uploaded, please let me know as I probably have something useful tucked away (but bear with me, as I still work full time and we all know how many hours that means!)

KS2 Maths Intervention Games and Activities: ADDITION & SUBTRACTION

(0)
14 targeted activities which are designed to 'close the gap' in this key area of understanding. The activities are suitable for children in KS2 who may have gaps in their knowledge and understanding and would benefit from some intensive (but fun!) intervention work. The activities are designed to be carried out in a 1:1 situation, although very small groups would also be appropriate. They use minimal resources and take approximately 10 - 20 minutes to complete. Aims are as follows: Aim: for the child to understand that addition is the inverse of subtraction and vice versa. Aim: for the child to use numbers to make a target number. Aim: for the child to recognise number bonds to 100 Aim: for the child to make a target number using addition Aim: for the child to choose numbers to complete an addition calculation Aim: for the child to add correctly to complete a picture. Aim: to understand the language of addition Aim: to practise finding the difference between two numbers by counting along a number line Aim: for the child to recognise the difference between a pair of numbers. Aim: for the child to be able to subtract single digits from 2 digit numbers mentally. Aim: to practise subtracting orally. Aim: for the child to subtract small amounts from a number until they reach zero Aim: for the child to use the answers to subtraction calculations to complete a game. Aim: For the child to recognise a sequence and continue it using subtraction
