Arithmetic Master is a game I use with Year 6 in the last few weeks before the SATs. You know how it feels - when you’ve done past paper after past paper and you still need to work on retrieval but you need some ENERGY! This is a quiz which involves partner work, peer support, team names and unlimited points and my children LOVE it. Covering all of the Arithmetic question areas from Paper 1 in a quiz format. • Children work in pairs for this quiz. • For each section (PPT slide) each child will be given 2 to 3 minutes (your discretion) to answer the questions independently on their own piece of paper. • The next 2 minutes will be sharing and discussing answers with their partner. • Before sharing, they will need to decide upon a final answer as a team. • This is great for peer work, talking through HOW they came to their answer. • Points are decided by the teacher: correct answers; superb explanations; good behaviour; staying focused. • I also deduct points to maintain behaviour management: shouting out, arguing etc. I find that the children learn very quickly that it’s all a bit of fun in the midst of all their revision and behave well beyond the first couple of deductions! • Having ultimate power over the points also ensures that you can award points to children with low self esteem who need the boost. There are over 20 colourful question slides, each containing at least 6 Arithmetic questions. This quiz can easily be broken down into sections, over several sessions . I show this as a PPT presentation and everyone looks at the main smartboard but I have also included a PDF in case you need to print out or Air Drop questions. Another PPT and PDF contains the answers which I use as a class so I can see what everyone is getting out of it, what my areas of need are, giving out points and also to keep up the energy. However, this could also be used for self marking. I really hope you and your class enjoy this resource as much as we do!

This is a game for revision for KS2 maths SATS. Suitable mainly for Year 6, but can be adapted for other year groups. The instructions are: Put the children into pairs Give each pair 20 counters and cards with A, B, C and D Each pair works out the answer the question and they have to put their counters on the correct answer card. If they are not sure, they can split their counters. When the answer is revealed, if they have counters on an incorrect answer, they lose those counters. The winning pair are the ones who have the most counters left at the end.

There are various classroom maths activities, including maths games, which are purely recreational – and no doubt they have their place. But there are maths games which demand a real involvement on the part of the players and which call for both reasoning and imagination(surely two key features of any worthwhile mathematical activity). Some of these are games for two players, where the aim is to win and where competitive excitement can run high; others are solo games, where the aim is to achieve a particular objective and where the satisfaction is a more private one. We have tried numerous games in the classroom, with pupils of different ages and abilities, and have selected eight of our favourites for the collection offered here. The booklet provides clear instructions for each game, together with the appropriate grid for you to photocopy and laminate. None of the games requires complicated materials and all of them are easy to explain and to put into practice.

This is a game for Year 6 KS2 SATS revision. Maths game - motivating the children, teamwork and revision. Can be easily adapted once bought. Instructions Split the class into two groups Give the children the question and get them to answer on whiteboards If the children answer the question correctly, they need to decide whether they keep or give the points to the other team. Show the children the points (they are either positive or negative) Keep a score of all the points on the board, so they are clear to the children.

A simple but effective maths game which can be easily adapted and suitable for a range of ages and abilities. Ideal for team games and partner work. Good for discussion

Key Stage 2 (KS2) Year 3, 4, 5 and 6 maths dice games for place value up to millions and decimals to 3 places. Includes games for 4, 5, 6 and 7 digit numbers (thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands and millions) and 1, 2 and 3 decimal places (tenths, hundredths and thousandths). A fun, more challenging and strategic twist on an old idea, these 19 games will make students think carefully about where to place digits, practise their ordering skills, develop interesting tactics and prolong the uncertainty until the final moments. 24 pages, PDF format. Great for starters, early finishers, revision or as a fun homework task Many levels of challenge - ideal for differentiation or for use across year groups Use as printed worksheets or else laminate (or use in dry-wipe sleeves) and complete with whiteboard pens Instead of playing in pairs, you might form small groups - pairs could play against pairs instead of one-versus-one and you might appoint a checker who can adjudicate (and then swap roles for the next game). Consider enlarging to A3 for larger groups. There is a mixture of Make the Biggest Number, Make the Smallest Number and Greater or Less Than games   Every turn, players can place the digit they throw on any row or column, until there are no vacant boxes remaining, prolonging the uncertainty! Keeping an eye on each other’s numbers as they form, players will begin to spot new tactics; for instance they might notice that a 1 placed in a thousands place might not be so costly if there’s a 9 in the ten thousands place, depending on what their opponent is doing on their grid. They can also practise saying their completed numbers aloud at the end.   If you don’t have a 0-9 dice, the games still work with a 1-6 dice. Alternatively: Use 0-9 spinners (I have included black and white and colour templates for your convenience) if you wish to make some Use digit cards (basic digit cards included in the file) Use a pack of playing cards (use Aces as 1 and Jacks as 0, put aside the Kings and Queens; shuffle the pack and take one card in turn)   Instructions are printed on the boards.   Thank you very much for supporting my store.   YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE… Multiplication and Division Activities BUNDLE Maths Puzzles Worksheets HUGE BUNDLE Place Value CrossNumber Puzzles Area and Perimeter Activities BUNDLE   Explore more at FullShelf Resources

Using the money earned, they can purchase further pots and so increase their profits on later days. The aim is to have enough money at the end of each week to pay a steadily-increasing rent.

The nominated students from each team both stand up. The teacher asks the blue team question 1 to the blue team player and awards a penalty if the student answers correctly. The red team penalty taker is then asked the matching red question 1 and is awarded a penalty if the answer is correct. • Another person from each team is then chosen to take the 2nd penalty. • Play continues for 10 rounds (10 questions) and then the number of goals is added up for each team. • If there is a draw, play goes to extra time. Each team chooses their best player to take the final penalty. Only one question is asked to both team players and the 1st player to answer correctly wins the whole match for their team. • At the end of the match, players in the winning team pick a “man of the match” - the student who they think played the best. • This game can also be played by groups of students by allowing one student to be the “teacher”. • It might be fun if the teacher uses their whistle and acts as the referee. • Teachers may also want to allow a victory dance/celebration on scoring a penalty! ♥ You may also like: Balancing Equations Earth Day Maths Animals Time Word Problems ☞ To view my other resources, please go to Maths Shop
