This is a “Maths on the Move” activity. it comprises of twenty A5 cards which can be placed around a classroom or even better the playground. Each card contains an arithmetic question. The questions are based on the Year Six SATs arithmetic paper. THey are supplied in pdf and also Publisher format so can be easily edited if required. Each child (or pair) has a copy of the supplied answer sheet and have to find the cards before answering the question. The teacher has a sheet with all the questions and answers so can check each answer as the children find them. This is a great activity for keeping children active as well as learning maths. I have used it very successfully either as a pre-SATs revision session or after SATs to use some of their newly acquired maths skills! I hope you find this activity useful and fun! Thanks for your interest in my maths resources. Feedback is greatly appreciated.

This is a PowerPoint which explores numbers sequences and patterns and is designed for upper KS2. It asks children to identify patterns, to find missing numbers and to continue sequences. I have found it particularly successful with Year 6 as its contains several original questions which are based on recent SATs questions. It would be useful therefore for revision leading up to End-of-Key stage tests.

I created this presentation to introduce finding a percentage of an amount to my lower ability Year 5 maths set. I was unable to find anything else online that demonstrated clearly what exactly an percentage of a number means and that didn't over-complicate the subject. There are plenty of visual examples to show how we find a percentage of an amount. The presentation clearly links percentages to fractions. It start by demonstrating percentages on a 100 square and progresses to using different numbers. Simple animations show how a number can be split into different fractions and percentages.

This is a PowerPoint presentation on a theme of reading timetables. It is suitable for any Year group in KS2. The presentation shows children part of a railway timetable and asks them a variety of questions which require them to use and interpret the timetable. Clear on-screen annotations show how the timetables should be read. For Year 6 children, there are also some SATs style questions, again with annotated answers. Thank you for your interest in my maths resources. I hope you find them useful.

This is a complete project which looks at compass directions but also brings in super great opportunities for artwork and being creative. Children are presented with a hand drawn treasure map that has recently been discovered. There are also several sets of directions which the children have to follow to locate each treasure. The 8 point compass is used. Children can also "bury" some treasure of their on on the map and write directions. Children are then given a blank parchment and have to design their own treasure map. This is where the creativity comes in! It might be worth showing them a few examples from the internet for ideas. They then have to "bury" their treasure at different locations and wrote instructions. they can then exchange with a friend and find each others treasure. great fun! This is useful for teaching/re-enforcing compass directions. It is also great for Year 6 after SATs and can quite easily last for several lessons. I do it every year and my children love it!

This is a PowerPoint which looks at Regular and irregular polygons. It starts by explaining what a polygon is and then presents children with a variety of 2D shapes, asking them to decide which of them are polygons and also which are regular and irregular. Thank you for your interest in my maths resources. I do hope you find them useful.

This is a PowerPoint of a theme of capacity and reading scales. The slides feature several jugs containing different amounts of liquid. Pupils are asked to read the different scales and compare different amounts of liquid. There are some SATs style reasoning problems to reinforce learning. This resource is particularly suitable for upper KS2 or lower KS3. Thank you for your interest in mt maths resources. I do hope you find them useful. Feedback is very much appreciated.

Here is a topical maths investigation ready for Children in Need Day. The task is to colour each Pudsey`s hat, shirt, shorts and boots using four different colours. Children then have to investigate how many unique ways of colouring Pudsey there are. Each time, only the same four colours must be used Encourage the children to work systematically rather than colouring randomly. Some tables are included to help children organise their work.

This is Powerpoint presentation which is designed to show how bar modelling can be used to solve mathematical problems. It has been used successfully in upper KS2 and lower KS3. I have also used it in an INSET in order to develop a pictorial approach to mathematical problem solving and the bar model method in particular

This is a PowerPoint presentation which focuses on reading and interpreting line graphs. Several examples of questions are given. Pupils are shown through animations how to read information from a line graph. They are also shown how to interpret reading on a scale and to work out the range between two values. This presentation has been designed in particular for Year 6 pupils and would be ideal for SATs revision. However, it would be appropriate for pupils in upper KS2 or lower KS3.

This is a PowerPoint presentation about the 12 and 24 hour clocks. It starts by showing examples of when the 24 clock might typically be used. Examples include radio alarm clock and airport departure boards. The presentation then shows various common events during the day such as the start of school or lunch time. The time is clearly displayed on a large analogue clock face. Both digital and analogue times are shown.

This resource is comprises of two pages. Children are asked to draw the reflection of polygons in a given mirror line. They then have to write the coordinates of the reflected shape (first quadrant only). They are then presented with more shapes alongside their reflection and have to identify and draw the mirror line in the correct place. Suitable for upper KS2 or lower KS3

This is a very visual Powerpoint which introduces pupils to the concept of tenths, hundredths and thousandths through animation. The concept is illustrated by dividing a large square into decimal fractions. The fractional notation is then given

This is a two page worksheet on a theme of reflective symmetry. It asks pupils to draw reflected shapes and to identify the line of reflection. It includes drawing mirror lines on for a given formula (eg. X = Y) and to describe different reflections. It is supplied in pdf and Word format and is easily adaptable to change the level of difficulty. It is suitable for upper KS2 and lower KS3. Thank you for your interest in my math resources. I do hope you find them useful.

Worksheet which asks pupil to work out the angles in different triangles Supplied in pdf and Publisher format

This is a super little maths activity all about palindromes (numbers that read the same backwards as forwards). It is open ended and also great for reinforcing column addition. It has a high degree of challenge and I have used it successfully as a homework task. suitable for upper KS2 or lower KS3.

This is a two page worksheet which asks children to plot a set of coordinates in four quadrants. They then have to name the 2D shape which they have created. There are also two blank grids where pupils have to make their own shapes and identify the coordinates. This could then be exchanged with a friend to draw the shape. Suitable for Upper KS2 or maybe lower KS3 Thank you for your interest in my maths resources

This is a two page activity sheet. Pupils are asked to plot points on different grids and join them. They form 2D shapes which the children have to identify. An extension task then asks them to draw their own shapes before identifying the coordinates Suitable for upper KS2. Thank you for your interest in my maths resources.

This is a two page worksheet which focuses on translating shapes in four quadrants. The first side requires pupils to translate a variety of 2D shapes, through a given translation. The also have to list the coordinates of the translated shape and name the shape. The second side asks children to draw their own shape and translate it, naming the translation. It is aimed at upper KS2 or lower KS3 and would be particularly useful for Year 6 SATs revision as it is based on Y6 objectives. This resource was used as part of an observed lesson rated outstanding. There is an accompanying PowerPoint listed separately.

This is a comprehensive PowerPoint which focuses on aspects of angle reasoning. It starts with revising the basics. Degrees in a right angle, straight line angle, and around a point. it goes on to look at more complex angle reasoning, including corresponding and alternate angles. It has 27 slides with plenty of examples of each type of angle. It could easily be amended depending on the level of complexity you require. Suitable for upper KS2 or lower KS3. The PowerPoint was used as part of a lesson graded "outstanding"
