A set of 14 number bond tests to test for quick recall of number bonds to 5, 10 and 20. The tests are colour coded, each test has ten questions to complete and there are two tests for each colour of the rainbow. Each child also has a blank rainbow to colour, they can colour each band once they are secure on that set of number bonds eg red number bonds are making 5 therefore once children are secure at making 5 they would colour the red band of the rainbow. The aim is for children to colour the whole rainbow.
These tests cover number bonds for making numbers to 5, making numbers to 10 and making numbers to 20. The tests can be used with a timer to check how secure children are with number bond recall. Children enjoy working their way through the colours of the rainbow and if not secure can repeat tests again and try to beat their previous score.

A fun Maths activity to introduce children to 3D shapes and related vocabulary.
The lesson includes interactive activities for the children to join in with. The lesson shows children different 3D shapes and describes their properties. Children then have to guess the 3D shape that is being described or the shape that is being slowly revealed. Children then have to use their knowledge of 3D shapes to explain why a shape eg a cuboid is not a cube. This activity is good for assessing children’s understanding of 3D shapes and encourages them to use the related vocabulary. There is then a chance for children to spot 3D shapes in the classroom, children could either record this on whiteboards or on paper. There is also an odd one out activity, this activity again encourages children to use the vocabulary to describe 3D shapes. This lesson encourages lots of talk and discussion about 3D shapes.
