These resources relate to the Year 3 Maths curriculum but could easily be tweaked to suit similar objectives in other year groups. The activities require children to use their reasoning skills and decide how to solve the problem e.g. count on or back? They place this skill in a fun context using objects that appeal to children’s interests (such as Shopkins) before moving onto more challenging problems. A fantastic resource for more able children to move onto! Please note, 2 of the files are formatted to print on stickers (11 per sheet) as this seems to be increasingly popular in schools but questions can be easily copy and pasted onto any format.

A great activity to help children think about different types of characters and how they would react in different situations. This can provide a stimulus for writing narratives or playscripts.
