Activity sheet where pupils answer the times tables questions in words and then find the words in the wordsearch grid below. Perfect for consolidation of quite a dry topic in KS1 or KS2, and could also be used as cover work for a low ability Year 7 or 8 set. File has been uploaded in Publisher and PDF format for ease of use.

Fun and engaging Connect 4 game for practising addition and subtraction. Pupils pair up (or could be played with two pairs against each other) and take it in turns to answer a question, if they get the answer correct (and the other pupil(s) agrees) they write their initials over the square with a whiteboard marker. You could also use post-its or counters for this. First pupil (or pair) to get a line of 4 correct answers wins!

Engaging puzzle activities on addition and subtraction that are ideal as either a consolidation for lower ability KS3-GCSE pupils or a lesson starter for higher attainers. Pupils must answer the questions and shade out the answers in the grid above. When they have finished they should see the number 103 on the addition sheet, and the number 42 on the subtraction.
