Merging a History lesson with a Maths lessons, WW2 Algebra sees children decipher encrypted messages using a Caesar Cipher. Used as a final lesson in a sequence for Algebra this is a fun and engaging lesson that will have your children working collaboratively and assisting each other with their own Algebraic knowledge.

This resource was designed for my year 4 students. It’s a treasure trail, interactive activity that explores the City of London and what was once Londinium. The tour takes in the London Mithraem, Leadenhall Market (Site of the old Roman Forum), the London Amphitheatre and the Museum of London. It has teacher instructions to help your children with the tour and activities for them to take part in at different locations.

In this resource I have made a Spy Day for you to take part in with your class. Acting as an Agent for Bletchley Park you will teach your students how to decipher and crack codes that were used in WW2. There are four codes to decipher: A Pig Pen cipher A Caesar Cipher The encrypted Memo from the Head of Bletchley Park The Newspaper The final code is a WW2 style newspaper complete with crossword. Your students will need to use everything they have learned previously in the lesson to solve the crossword, use the Caeser Cipher and find the double agent hidden at Bletchley Park! Are your students made of the right stuff? Comes complete with Teacher Instructions, a PPT and Pdfs of the Codes and Printouts.
