Negative Number Sequences This activity is designed to practice: count backwards through 0 including negative numbers Description of Activity: Students roll the 10-sided dice twice (see printable resource). The first roll is the starting number, and the second roll is the step count backwards. Students can then complete the answer grid (an example is provided). The more correct numbers they generate, the greater the number of points they receive. This game can be played in pairs with the first player to complete their grid being the winner. Use the RAG analysis to track progress. Differentiation strategies and Teaching Hints and Tips provided.

This chess board can be used to facilitate learning both in class and at home. Chess is an accessible game that practices many areas of the curriculum from translation, alpha-numeric coordinates, using key terminology around number, and shape. It also helps to develop learning skills such as following instructions and memorising rules. Suggested uses: Print and laminate to use as a gameboard between pairs Crop the image into a slideshow presentation Crop the image into an interactive slide Print, laminate and pin to a display board This resource is part of the Head Start Ultimate Free Printables Pack https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12934415

This negative number line can be used to facilitate learning both in class and at home. Many areas of the curriculum require knowledge of negative numbers including the four operations, real life problems with negative numbers, order of operations and ordering numbers. From my experience, vertical negative number lines can encourage a deeper understanding of the concepts of operations with negative numbers, as well as their application to more real life problems such as temperature, where the scale is usually vertical. Suggested uses: Print out each A4 page and cut out each diagram. Stick each diagram together using the tab to create a large vertical display of negative numbers. Note: Each diagram is around 20cm tall so printing full size will extend over 2m. If this is too large, print 2 pages per page.

This Prime Numbers List from 1-100 can be used to facilitate learning both in class and at home. Prime numbers appear regularly in the maths curriculum. Mainly students need to be able to recognise them but they can also be useful when thinking about divisibility, factors and multiples and prime factors. Suggested uses: Print individual copies to stick into exercise books Print and laminate to use as a mini whiteboard (with a pen) Crop the image into a slideshow presentation Crop the image into an interactive slide Print, laminate and pin to a display board BONUS ACTIVITY: Create a piece of artwork that represents the prime numbers up to 20 or 100. Explain how this helps you remember the prime numbers to your partner / the class.

This 1-100 number grid can be used to facilitate learning both in class and at home. Lots of aspects of the curriculum require knowledge of numbers from 1-100 including the four operations, number bonds, types of number (squares, primes etc) and place value.

These two multiplication tables can be used to facilitate learning both in class and at home. Multiplication of two numbers (repeated addition) is a fundamental skill that is demonstrated through many other parts of the curriculum such as finding the area of a shape, calculations with fractions, working out percentages of an amount, and money problems.

These dice can be used to facilitate learning both in class and at home. Add the element of chance into games and other activities that practice many skills across the curriculum including number and calculation, plotting coordinates and translating objects. Each dice comes with a minimum of three options: Blank Dots Numbers Other dice include: Shapes Roman numerals (coming soon) 0-9 and 1-10 numbered dice This resource is part of the Head Start Ultimate Free Printables Pack https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12934415

This activity is designed to practice: interpreting negative numbers in context, counting forwards and backwards with positive and negative whole numbers, including through zero. Description of Activity: Students are to calculate with negative numbers in real life contexts including temperature, car parks / stairs and money and write their answers in the space provided. Use the RAG analysis to track progress. Differentiation strategies and Teaching Hints and Tips provided. All answers provided.

This activity is designed to practice: Establishing whether a number up to 100 is prime. Description of Activity: Students should be handed a 1-100 number square. Circle the number 2 then cross out all the other multiples of 2. Circle 3 then cross out all the other multiples of 3. 4 is already crossed out so circling the next number would be 5; cross out all the other multiples of 5. Continue this process until the final number is circled (97). Use the RAG analysis to track progress. Differentiation strategies and teaching hints and tips provided. All answers are provided.

This activity is designed to practice: adding and subtracting with negative numbers Description of Activity: Students complete each diamond by adding the two squares next to each other to get the square above and subtracting the two squares together to get the square below. See example. Use the RAG analysis to track progress. Differentiation strategies and Teaching Hints and Tips provided. All answers provided.

Students play this game in pairs. Each pair has two piles of shuffled cards: Percentage Cards and Amount Cards. Before students select their cards in each round, they must decide whether the answer which is Higher or Lower is the winner. Each player then takes a percentage card and an amount card from each pile. Both players work out their percentage of their amount and check their opponent’s answer. The player who has the higher (or lower) answer as determined before the cards were chosen wins and keeps the cards. When one pile is empty, the player with the most cards wins.

This activity is designed to practice: Subtracting whole numbers with more than 4 digits, including using formal written methods (column subtraction) Description of Activity: Students should complete each calculation individually using a formal written method of their choice (e.g. column subtraction) and write their answers on the answer line provided. Each question is progressively more challenging. Use the RAG analysis to track progress Suitable for Year 6 to 7 transition in class / homework / private study All answers are provided. Differentiation strategies including teaching hints and tips included.

Description of Activity Students should complete each question individually and write their answers within the cross number. If a number contains a decimal point, the decimal point is placed in the same square as the unit digit E.g. 314.2 is written as: 3 1 4. 2 Questions vary in difficulty, rounding to decimal places, integers, and other powers of 10. Use the RAG analysis to track progress. Answers are provided within the cross number. Teaching hints and tips provided.

This activity is designed to practice: writing decimal numbers as fractions Description of Activity: Students should complete each calculation individually and write their answers clearly in the space below the question. Questions vary in difficulty from easy (red border), medium (yellow border) and hard (green / blue border). Use the RAG analysis to track progress. Suitable for students in year 6 - 7 transition in class / homework / private study. All answers are provided. Differentiation strategies and teaching hints and tips provided.
