A series of test questions for children to practice and improve their multiplication tables. There are tests about one specific times table at a time; tests which have questions about more than one times table; and a test on all of the times tables. Includes questions that ask for the missing number in a question, to help children link multiplication and division. Answers included.

An example of a discussion text that presents some of the arguments for and against zoos. Suitable for KS2.

A series of 30 mental maths test for use in the classroom or as a homework activity. The tests are grouped into a series of three tests that each has similar questions. Question 1 of Test 1a is therefore very similar to question 1 in Test 1b and question 1 in Test 1c. This is to allow the children the chance to learn from their mistakes and try to improve on subsequent tests. I believe this opportunity to consolidate their knowledge is essential if you wish to see real progress. It is therefore really important that you take some time to explain to your children the way to correctly do each question at the end of each test, before they do the next test.

In Year 4 we recently completed a unit of writing on stories with a theme. We decided to base it on stories that dealt with a moral dilemma. This is one that I wrote as an example of a story about honesty. A child steals an exam paper that he then passes on to his friend who hasn't yet sat the exam. Please feel free to download it and use it.

I wrote this scary story with the help of my Year 5 class during the build up to Halloween. They then wrote their own versions. Please feel free to use it as it is, or adapt it for you class.

I wrote this game to play on World Maths Day, although it could obviously be played on any day of the year. I uploaded it in Word, so that you can adjust it to suit the ability level of your class. Enjoy
