Maths resources

Students estimate an addition problem, share their methods, discuss grouping nice numbers, and then do a problem using this method, then design a question showing how it uses the method.

Students estimate an addition problem, share their methods, discuss the rounding method, and then do more problems using rounding.

Students calculate volumes of composite shapes, showing their working.

Students read from, and mark points on, non-linear scales.

Students work out the area of a circle and a fraction (Sector) of a circle.

Students solve different forms of addition equations.
