Several worksheets using multiplication in real life contexts. The birthday present worksheet is particularly relevant for children as it involves calculating costs for various concert tickets. E.g. JLS and Lady Gaga! The prices in the Fruit Stall worksheet are in cents but this can easily be tippexed and changed before copying.

This worksheet gives exercises that encourage pupils to show how someone is feeling using descriptive language. E.g. He was angry = His face turned puce/ He slammed the door behind him.

A 4 page factfile to use with a new class which includes information about hobbies and interests, friends and family, and likes and dislikes at school. Great as a 'getting to know you&' activity.

Money matching cards which can be used for a matching game or for pelmanism. They can be easily adapted to change the order of the coins or the amounts to suit the needs of your class.

A set of 60 cards to support place value to one million. Three different types of cards to match - number, sum and word (e.g. 2045, 2000+40+5, two thousand and forty five). Can be used for pelmanism or sorting/ matching. Print each type onto a different colour for easy recognition.

A resource to support exploration of finding a fraction of an amount. Cards are colour coded with red, amber and green leaves for levels of difficulty. Children select a card, then find natural materials to demonstrate the problem and photograph their model.

As a getting to know you activity with a new class I like to bring in a 'bag of treasures' containing items which show the children something about myself. The class can then discuss and share things they would have in their bag of treasures. Attached is a follow up worksheet which allows children to record their ideas. I have used this with 6-7 year olds however it could be equally appropriate for older children with a bit of tweaking!

To encourage children to learn their tables I give out a 'badge' for each times table when a child can say that table confidently. They must try to collect the whole set. The badges are designed to be printed onto coloured paper.

Read and match worksheets for set 5 Jolly Phonics; z, w, ng, v, oo. Only includes words which are completely decodable at this stage. Sounds split into Elkonin boxes to make sounding out easier. Read and match the words and pictures, then read the sentence and draw a picture. Editable on Word.

A great resource to stimulate discussion around place value. The cards are arranged next to the answers. Cut out and shuffle, then have children discuss which cards they think match.
