Head Start Negative Number Sequences

(1)
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.

Head Start Prime Number Hunt

(0)
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.

Head Start Percentages of an Amount Higher or Lower
HeadStartMathsHeadStartMaths

Head Start Percentages of an Amount Higher or Lower

(0)
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.

Head Start Chess Board

(0)
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
Head Start Negative Number Line Vertical
HeadStartMathsHeadStartMaths

Head Start Negative Number Line Vertical

(0)
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.
