Children must race against the clock to complete their selected times table race before the time runs out to catch the Pokemon! Cut out the times table races into individual slips with a race on each for the children to select. As a guide, allow 45 seconds for the 'times tables in order' race and a minute and a half for the 'times tables out of order' and 'division facts' races. Children can track their times tables progress by collecting a Pokemon every time a new one is learnt. Children colour in the Pokemon they collect. The colours on the tracker (or 'Pokedex'!) represent KS1, Y3 and Y4+ progressing down the page. Can they catch 'em all?

This pack will guide children through the areas of maths that will appear in the KS2 Paper 1: Arithmetic. Created for the 2014+ Curriculum, all of the questions are strongly linked to those found in the sample paper, but are sorted by area of Mathematics to aid revision. A perfect revision book for the week leading up to the KS2 SATs, so that children can practise all of the main concepts required for the test. 8 pages including cover page, instructions and answer page. A low ink version is also provided. Use either within the classroom, or as homework. Answers are provided to either help the teacher with the marking or to give to parents/children for self marking at home. *Answers updated 11/5/16* You might also like: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/maths-ks2-sats-revision-pack-easter-2016-summer-term-homework-11243012

A fun mathematical event that links the teamwork skills and effort involved in the Olympics with mathematical concepts found in the primary curriculum. Ideal for Key Stage 2 classes (ages 7-11), but adaptable to younger children by selecting only the ‘bronze’ level (see below). Fully resourced activities that only require a few resources that will be found in your school (e.g. plastic hoops, stopwatch, coloured cubes, etc). In small teams, children will tackle 8 fun, maths-based tasks to earn medals and score points for their team. Each task has three differentiated options: bronze, silver and gold. These are broadly aimed at KS1, lower KS2 and upper KS2, but are provided to give children the option of challenging themselves to earn more points for their team. At each of the eight tasks, one team member must be chosen to compete, with the team mates giving help verbally, but without touching or pointing to the task. The result is that every child has an important role and remains engaged throughout the whole event. The tasks are: · Sprint and Sort (including Venn diagrams and maths vocab) · Blind Build (communication and teamwork are vital here) · Problem Solving (logic puzzles) · Coordinate Treasure Hunt (reading grid references or (x,y) coordinate grids) · Mental Calculation Workout (mental addition and problem solving) · Tangram Timeout (a geometry based task) · Multiple Obstacles (an obstacle race with a times tables twist) · Code Breaker (place value knowledge will come in useful here) This event is suitable for either a single year group class or a mixed class. Just make sure the teams are well balanced and off you go! It has been designed for 32 children to take part at a time, although this can easily be adjusted by altering team sizes. Size of PDF: 69 pages. Please leave feedback - we love to hear from you!

Vocabulary cards for the key KS2 2D shapes required for the Year 6 SATs under the 2014 curriculum. I used these Geometry cards for the children to sort into 'families' of shapes to see the connections between various 2D shapes. The children then categorised various 2D shapes using Venn and Carol Diagrams.

A revision pack for Year 6 pupils to revise their number knowledge in the lead up to the Key Stage 2 SATs. Carefully created for the 2014+ curriculum. The 7 worksheets include place value, rounding, negative numbers, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, written and mental calculations, factors, simplifying fractions, comparing fractions, adding and subtracting fractions, finding a fraction of a number, finding a percentage of a number, equivalences between fractions, decimals and percentages and problem solving. So that the pack can be used as a homework task, an answer sheet is included to pass on to parents so that work can be marked as the child goes along if appropriate. Also a list of useful websites is included in the pack, indicating where to start for any further revision. *Answers updated 12/4/16.* You might also like: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/year-6-arithmetic-revision-pack-for-key-stage-2-paper-1-11268760

In this pack, you will find: - A board game - A set of instructions (one low colour version for printing) - 11 sets of times tables cards (2-12 times tables) Pick a times table for your children to work on, give them the board game and off you go! Travel around the board collecting as many Easter eggs as you can. To win an Easter egg, just land on an Easter egg space and answer the times table question correctly. Keep going until either a player has collected a certain number of Easter eggs or until the time runs out. You might choose to give children just one set of times table cards to focus on, or give them a range of times tables cards to make the game even more challenging! Perfect to use as a morning starter, an end of lesson extension, a golden time activity or an intervention to practise times tables. I hope your children enjoy this Easter treat!

A set of worksheets to deliver the objective 'to translate a 2D shape on a grid' differentiated to cover Years 4, 5 and 6. A paired game is also included. The resource is given as a Word document to enable easy editing so that you can adapt the activities for your own class as appropriate. A pdf version is also included.

I created this as a four week homework programme for my Year 6s to practise their calculation methods whilst encouraging parental involvement. After a parent workshop to introduce the methods my school uses to teach the main calculation methods (not included), each child took home a game board (included) and one set of calculation cards each week (included) as their maths homework for 4 weeks: Week 1: Addition Week 2: Subtraction Week 3: Multiplication Week 4: Division I asked the children to record who they had played the game against at home and encouraged them to play for 10 minutes a day to practise their written methods. I have seen huge improvements in my Year 6 class's written calculation skills as a consequence and many parents have commented how it has helped them to understand the calculation methods too. I designed this as a fun game to practise the written methods of calculation. Although I chose the option of encouraging the link between home and school and asking the parents to join in too, alternatively you might decide that the game is best in your school to be played in the classroom as a morning starter or within intervention sessions. A set of instructions is included. Please note, fraction questions are not included in this game, as I wanted it to focus purely on numerical written methods. I am currently working on differentiated packs of cards so that this game can also be given to younger year groups. A lot of time and love has gone into this project, and I hope you and your class enjoy it. I'd appreciate any feedback.

A fully resourced lesson plan for children to apply their skills in calculating the area and perimeter in a real life situation. Children are presented with a floor plan of carefully proportioned rooms. Within the pack, you will find three differentiated tables for different abilities of children to complete. Each table includes a short list of rooms which are relevant to that ability group. Children calculate the area of carpet and the perimeter of skirting board their rooms require. Low ability - rectangular rooms Average ability - rectilinear rooms High ability - includes triangular areas and 'holes' in the shape This lesson was originally designed for a Year 5/6 class.

A twist on the classic family game of 'Guess Who' based on the new 2014 curriculum. My Year 3 class really enjoyed this game as a method to revise maths vocabulary and my Year 6 class loved it last year too. Differentiated version of the game are designed for Years 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Also suitable for KS3. This is a carefully thought-out game to be played in pairs to practise maths vocabulary such as greater than, less than, multiple, odd, even, factor, square, cube, etc (age-appropriate guidelines included within pack). Instructions and a list of the covered objectives for the 2014 curriculum are included. Laminate for a game that can be reused again and again. Once downloaded, please leave a review.

A quick number assessment to test retention of written and mental calculation methods, including short and long methods, decimals and BODMAS. 2014 Curriculum. No fractions related questions - purely number and place value based calculation.

A set of 6 cards, each with a car's price (working in ten thousands and hundred thousands) and some other information (based in decimals and hundreds) which can be used to create questions that require children to add, subtract and round numbers. I have attached an editable example of questions.

3 fully-prepared resources that are ready to go! Covers the 2014 National Curriculum's core aims - fluency, reasoning and problem solving. The lessons have been used to secure an outstanding grading in a lesson observation with a Year 5 class. 3 lesson plans for KS2, each including a starter, a differentiated main activity, a mini plenary, an extension activity and a plenary. All resources included within the pack, including a letter from Henry VIII and maps of Henry's gardens. Investigation approach used to ensure deep understanding of perimeter and area. The lessons currently centre around King Henry VIII's gardens to link to a Tudor topic, but they could easily be adapted to fit in with your topic by simply changing the main character from Henry VIII to another individual who might own a large amount of land. The three lessons focus on different parts of King Henry VIII’s gardens: • Lesson 1: The Knot Gardens (a perimeter investigation) • Lesson 2: The Rose Gardens (finding the area of rectangles and rectilinear shapes) • Lesson 3: The Stables (an investigation into the relationship between area and perimeter) My class loved this sequence of lessons. Please leave feedback - I'd love to hear how you get on with them!

A fully resourced lesson on finding the missing digit within addition and subtraction questions. This allows children to practise inverse operations and apply written methods in a fun and interactive way. The lesson is designed as a code breaking lesson, where children must solve the missing digit problems in order to save a class prized possession. A lesson plan, 8 differentiated worksheets, a letter from the villains for the starter and an answer sheet is included. The questions are differentiated and cover: - 2 digit by 2 digit addition - 2 digit by 2 digit subtraction - 3 digit by 3 digit addition - 3 digit by 3 digit subtraction - 4 digit by 4 digit addition - 4 digit by 4 digit subtraction - Decimal addition - Decimal subtraction This gives you the flexibility to choose the appropriate level for your class, or differentiate for different groups within your class by assigning each group a different villain's lock to break.

Cut up and laminate the three number lines separately. Children can write the relevant numbers on the horizontal line when solving a sequencing question. This could be used for tens and units or units and tenths. Please let me know if you find it useful.

A pack of quick, self-initiated activities for children to practise multiplying and dividing numbers by 10, 100 and 1000. Work includes card games and dice-generated activities. A blank template from 10 million to thousandths allows children to understand the place value of a number and to multiply or divide it by 10, 100 and 1000 easily.

A game that can be played in pairs, threes or independently. Please note that this game focuses on times tables facts from 2 to 10 to ensure children are confident in these tables before progressing to the 11s and 12s, which will need to be taught subsequently. Children need a 'Table Splat' mat and counters (different coloured counters for each child). Children take turns to turn over a card, revealing a times tables question. The child who is the first to place their counter on the correct answer (whilst shouting 'SPLAT!') can leave their counter on the board. The winner is the player with the most counters on the board once all of the times table cards have been used. Differentiate by choosing the multiplication cards relevant for that child, depending on which times table they are currently working on. *Update: 6s and 9s have been underlined, to avoid confusion.* Save money when bought as part of a bundle.
