The first Grab and Group is a game - 2 children take turns to 'grab' a handful of counters, and group them into 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s. Tick the box if they can be grouped without any counters left over. Put a cross if they can't. The winner is the player with the most ticks. Gets chidren thinking about grouping and dividing different amounts. Can be differentiated with more counters; can introduce prime numbers and make it into an investigation. The second Grab and Group with remainders does the same, but this time the chidlren write how many groups they make, and whether there are remainders.

Worksheets designed to support work on speech writing, based on the Little Red Riding Hood topic. Differentiated 3 ways. There is also an extension piece - use to write an imaginary conversation between Red Riding and her mother, perhaps once she arrived home from Grandma's, or the conversation they had before she left the house.
