Aimed at KS1, this is a really good activity for getting students to do lots of adding (and some subtracting). It is ideal as a starter or plenary, but it is quite easy to extend it by modifying the starting number and/or the numbers which the students must add or subtract.
I have included worksheets set at three different levels, each with a relevant extension – a sheet of blank grids are provided in case of mistakes or for you to set an even more challenging spiral for your Superstars.
I have also copied each of the spirals and the full solutions into a PowerPoint so that it is easy for you to display on screen.
When a student finishes a spiral you can get them to circle the even numbers, or numbers bigger than (for example) ‘20’ , or number with (for example) a ‘4’ in them.
Other extensions include selecting numbers (maybe the corner numbers) and getting students to write them as words, or to add them together – depending upon the age/capabilities of your particular class.
