4 Grids of varying complexity with all multiplications from 1x1 to 12x12. One grid "straight through" on both columns and rows (i.e. 1-12 in order) Two grids: one with columns going straight through and the rows mixed up and the other vice versa. One grid with both rows and columns mixed up. I use these as weekly challenges to my Yr 5s and 6s with children looking to either fill in more than they had the previous week or in a faster time. I have a group of very competitive boys who even take spare sheets to practice with! You can easily differentiate further by highlighting certain rows or columns for your less able to attempt.

******UPDATED****** Now includes hyperlinks to return to any questions incorrectly answered. A 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire' style game with embedded sound. If you like this and would like to make your own version you can either edit this one or look up my blank version. Enjoy!

A brief recap on area and perimeter followed by an in depth look at how a compound shape may be constructed and how the perimeter changes from the 2 shapes to the compound shape. Major hat-tip to nyima_drayang for the inspiration and the content of the first 3 slides.

The Easter Bunny buys his eggs from all over the world. He has created a timetable (x3 differentiated) can you interpret information from it? Please leave feedback as it helps me to improve my resources.

Santa is travelling around the world shopping for presents. This differentiated activity has simple 'read the timetable&' questions and more in depth &';find and work out information' type questions. I designed this activity for a year 4 class who had mixed knowledge of timetables. The questions (ppt file) are the same for all abilities but the timetables (doc file) they are using are differentiated. LA = 1/4s, 1/2 and o&'clock times only. MA = 5min intervals. HA = 1min intervals. This would work as a class activity while learning about timetables or as a revision session later on.

Based on the film 'Robots&' (U) - very engaging for my boy heavy lower ability maths set but differentiated for Year 3 ranging 1C-3A and was taught in parallel in higher ability set. A 5 week &';mop up' sequence of work. Mainly the dry &'U&A&'; strands from the Nat Num Strat that were left after the previous half term's planning by a colleague. The film references put the concepts into ‘real’ contexts and situations for the children. NO worksheets included but all the info you need to make your own is included. SMART files included. Strands at top of plans.

*****Updated to link back to incorrect answers***** Go through the slides personalising this 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire' style game to your own needs. You can choose the subject, answers and supporting images. The answer boxes are labelled &'right&'; and 'wrong&' for you to put the relevant options in. They are hyperlinked to the relevant next slide. Please be aware there are sound files embedded on the &';correct answer', &'dinner time&'; and 'reward&' slide. You can remove these by simply deleting them. Enjoy!

Please leave feedback to help me improve my resources. A board of random numbers and 3 semi-transparent, differently coloured, infinitely cloned stars with a different factor behind each one. The children need to match the factors to their multiples.There are numbers with 0, 1, 2 and 3 factors. This is a simple starter/plenary activity, easy to edit too. To edit you will need to unlock the elements you want to change.
