In this activity the children calculate the distances they'd have to travel between different locations across the world. The sheet allows them to test their column addition and subtraction skills as well as giving them an idea about the locations of major world cities. The sample questions are split into three levels. This allows the teacher and child to see clear progression and also gives the children the opportunity to self-assess their understanding.

Children must use their understanding of perimeter to finding the missing length, using the total perimeter and missing side to support them. The activity comes in three differentiated levels: Challenging Fiendish Petrifying (This gives the children a route of progression and allows them to self-assess their understanding when choosing a starting point)

This activity challenges children to find the discounted price of an amount. The worksheet features bar models to help the children visualise the problems. Answers are included.

A really nice way of teaching children about negative numbers using the context of depth in water. Children plot the depth of items below sea-level. Most apt for children between 8-11yrs. Answer sheet included.

Children need to use their understanding of equivalent fractions to shade the shapes. The activity comes in three differentiated levels: Challenging/Fiendish/Petrifying - giving the children a route of progression and choice over a starting point.

6 Multi-step percentage problems. These problems were designed to help children consolidate the understanding of 100%. The worksheets challenge the children to find the missing mass using the information provided. Bar models are given for each question to help children to visualise the problem. Answers included.

A good problem solving activity for children from 8yrs-12yrs. The activity is to make various totals (some decimals) using a given selection of decimal number cards. The worksheet states whether the children are to use 2, 3 or even 4 decimal numbers to reach their total. The extension activity challenges the children to come up with as many combinations of decimals to reach 1. Proved very popular with my year 6 class.

Simple fractions worksheet. Children identify the fraction of the cylinder that is shaded and the fraction that is unshaded.
