Hello! Since going back to key worker bubbles, I noticed a particular obsession with the game Among Us with my Year 4 group. This resource uses aspects of the game to get the children engaging with their maths work. There are 6 arithmetic questions with the answers, each one next to a character from the game. Five of the answers are correct, one of them is wrong; this character is the ‘imposter’. The children need to calculate the answers to the questions until they find the incorrect calculation they need to call for an ‘Emergency Meeting’ (slide 2) and state the colour of the character they think is the imposter. if they are correct, they need to explain how they knew and model the correct calculation (slide 3). If they are incorrect, back to slide one and keep calculating. The slides are fully editable. All you will need to change is the calculations (I heavily relied on Third Space Learning’s Fluent in Five) and the colour of the imposter. Hope this helps.

Here is a simple, easily-editable resources that is aimed at giving the children the opportunity to practise their times tables skills. Each child gets one card each. Each card has a statement at the top and a question underneath. The first child reads their statement and someone else in the room will have the answer. They will then read their statement (answer) before reading their question aloud. This pattern continues until the child who went first reads their statement. This is a fun task that I have done for my Year 4’s in preparation for the MTC but can be used in UKS2 classes as a recap task. Its also fun to time the children and see if they can do it a little faster each time. Hope it helps
