A differentiated activity using Cuisenaire rods to help students visualize fractions of a whole. A great resource for stimulating discussion about fractions. Learning Objective covered: LO: Visualize, recognise, find, name and write fractions as ½, ¼, ⅓ and ¾ of a given length.

16 activities to help your class count on in tenths, and recognize and use fractions on a number-line. This includes 15 exercises investigating fractions on a number-line, including some concept cartoons to encourage student reasoning. Plus an additional snap/matching game, matching fractions to number-lines to diagrams.

A bundle of 10 talk time activities inspired by NCETM Maths Mastery and Reasoning documents. Perfect for lesson starters to encouraging discussion and reasoning between students AND as a cheeky bonus, using them means you always have written evidence of students reasoning skills! Set out in easy to photocopy format, 4 to a page. Learning Objectives included: LO: Identify horizontal and vertical lines and pairs of perpendicular and parallel lines. LO: Identify whether angles are greater than or less than a right angle. LO: Identify right angles, recognise that two right angles make a half-turn, three make three quarters of a turn and four a complete turn.

5 easy to prep calculation games, which only need printing, a dice and some counters to get started. Great for embedding mental maths skills. Learning Objectives covered: (Yr. 1 Obj.) To add and subtract one-digit and two-digit numbers to 20. (Y.r 2 Obj. ) Recall and use addition and subtraction facts to 20 fluently, and derive and use related facts up to 100. (Yr. 2 Obj.) Recall and use multiplication and division facts for the 2, 5 and 10 multiplication tables.

A Linear Calendar is the answer to improving numbers sense in your classroom in just a couple of minutes every day. This resource has everything you need to set up the calendar and then use it year after year (my favourite thing to do!) I have included 33 different event cards, all dates, days of the week and months of year. I have included both a colour and a black and white version within this pack depending on your printing preference. Plus some helpful tips and discussion points to support you and your students in class.

A bundle of 10 Addition and Subtraction activities inspired by NCETM Maths Mastery and Reasoning documents. Perfect for lesson starters to encourage discussion and reasoning between students AND as a cheeky bonus, using them, means you always have written evidence of students problem solving and reasoning skills! Presented in easy to photocopy format, with 4 activities to a page. LO`s included: LO – To add and subtract 3 digit numbers mentally. (Yr. 3 - Mastery and Mastery with greater depth) LO - Solve problems including missing number problems, using place value and more complex addition and subtraction. (Yr. 3 – Reasoning & Problem Solving) LO - Add and subtract numbers mentally, including: a three-digit number and ones; a three-digit number and tens; a three digit number and hundreds. (Yr. 3 – Reasoning & Problem Solving)

Inspired by NCETM guidance (which is attached), this bundle of multiplication resources is superb for moving students through CPA process (concrete, pictorial, abstract), also includes NCETM lesson plan and questions from the `Models and Images`resources. Bundle includes: Multiplication as an arrray Multiplications as repeated addition Multiplication on a number line Problem solving

This was so useful in showing the class a range of different graphs for the same data, and in improving their reasoning ability on what each graph shows. Correct reasoning is modelled in the task and the students then went on create their own, using mastery level reasoning skills. Superb for sparking discussion. In both powerpoint (editable) and pdf format

Make basic addition and subtraction more engaging with these triominoes. Students simply cut out the individual triangles on each sheet, and then reassemble into a larger triangle with each calculation matching its correct answer. Four differentiated sheets: Higher ability (addition and subtraction with numbers into millions) Middle ability (addition and subtraction with numbers to 1 million) Lower ability (addition and subtraction with numbers into thousands) SEN (addition with numbers to 25) In two different formats - pdf and powerpoint (editable)

Two activities for students to practice representations of tenths as fractions, pictures, decimals and in words. Covers LO: LO: Recognise that tenths arise from dividing an object into 10 equal parts

This activity combined our History topic of Romans, with our Maths focus of measurement, plus a little bit of shapes and fractions thrown as an assessment of the previous units taught. Students receive a letter from Emperor Hadrian, with the command to rebuild sections of Hadrian`s Wall. They then worked in differientiated groups for calculate the correct measurements for the wall. Once the correct measurements had been calculated they then used their knowledge of 3-D shapes to build the wall. I have included the activity and instructions in pdf and word format for editing. My class loved it, but I have to be honest - it took them all morning! Learning Objectives covered: Geometry: Property of Shapes: • Draw 2-D shapes and make 3-D shapes using modelling materials. Measurement: • Measure, compare, and add lengths (m/cm/mm) • Continue to measure using the appropriate tools and units, progressing to using a wider range of measures, including comparing and using mixed units and simple equivalents of mixed units (for example, 5m = 500cm). Fractions: • Recognise, find and write fractions of a discrete set of objects. • Recognise that tenths arise from dividing an object into 10 equal parts and in dividing one-digit numbers or quantities by 10
