Primary maths: Addition and subtraction

Three engaging worksheet activity focused on addition and subtraction. Pupils must answer the questions on each sheet and follow the answers to find the correct route through the maze!

Ideally suitable for primary or low ability KS3 pupils. Answers are included!

A set of differentiated addition and subtraction challenge cards for pupils to work through. I have labelled them as silver and gold as I give out the silver set and once they are confident give out the progression which is the gold set! Easily adaptable for any year group and/or ability of pupils. I hope you like them!

Inspired by the Year 5 Mastery documents, these maths trails practice basic addition and subtraction skills. Calculations are presented within parenthesis to begin to expose students to algebraic layouts in Year 5.

Four differentiated trails:
High ability (numbers to 10,000),
Medium ability (numbers into 1000`s),
Lower ability (numbers in the 100`s)
SEN (numbers up to 100)

11 targeted activities to reinforce addition.
Independent/paired work.

Activities are based around the following areas:

Adding multiples of 100 to a 3 and 4 digit number
Adding 3 and 4 digit numbers together
Additions to 100
Adding pairs of decimal numbers
Finding perimeters using decimal addition
Pairs of decimal numbers with a specific total
Decimals with a total of 10
Repeated addition of decimal numbers
Addition of pairs of 4 digit numbers
Estimating 2 place decimal additions

A4 size board game for 2 players to reinforce number bonds to 10 (addition)

My first shared resource! This is a subtraction game I made for my Y5 mixed ability class. Pupils roll a dice to generate a number sentence, then race to draw a number line on their WBs and solve it - the winner writes the answer on the sheet in their colour. I gave merits to the winners in each pair. Do let me know what you think! :) BA - some 2 and 3 digits A - 3 digits AA - 3 and 4 digits Let me know what you think! Let me know what you think!

Three treasure hunt activities on addition, subtraction and a mix of the two that engage pupils and add variety to lessons.

Pupils can complete the task individually or in pairs. The cards should be cut out and stuck around the wall of the classroom. Pupils go and stand near one of the cards (in a pair or individually) - possibly whiteboards should be given to them for working out - and they start with that card. When they answer the question on the card they go and find the card that has that answer on, making a note of the order of the cards (the card numbers are at the bottom of the cards).

When they get round to the card they started at, pupils are done and come to you to check their work. The correct order is included in the documents so you can see quickly where any mistakes have been made.

Blank answer sheets are also included for pupils to write down the card numbers.

Ready to go classroom display aimed at helping pupils to articulate what they have 'done in their heads' when adding and subtracting mentally and encouraging them to try different strategies and being able to choose the most appropriate for the calculation they are presented with.

Suitable for use in both KS1 and KS2. This resource can also be bought as part of a package of mental addition and subtraction activities.
