Christmas worksheets The maths curriculum is designed to go right through the autumn term to Christmas, but by December teachers are often heavily engaged in Christmas activities, plays, carol concerts etc. There are so many distractions and the timetable is inevitably manipulated to fit in these extra activities. A high priority for us when writing […]
Year 5 Perimeter Two new sets of worksheets on the perimeter of shapes have just been published for Year 5. These shapes are called, ‘composite rectilinear shapes’ in the National Curriculum, which means they are made up of several rectangles. Usually only some of the lengths of the sides are given and children have to […]

The more practice children have with equivalent fractions the more […]
