Collette Reynolds has done it again, following here brilliant Minion themed number of the day, she has now produced 'Carl's Co-ordinate Challenge'. Collette has kindly included four different challenges getting harder in difficulty.

Random Number Generator.

Not whizzy and bangy, and not particularly pretty looking, but a very useful little tool. Choose a range for your random number, press generate and it appears.

Great for mental maths, ask children to add/subtract 1,10,100,1000
Generate 3 or 4 numbers and ask children to order them
Generate numbers and ask children to make maths problems with them, using any of the four operations.

This is a starter we do in our school, 3 times every week from Year 1 up to Year 6. We have found it has really helped with mental maths and learning multiplication tables. So being the kind chap I am I thought I would share it with you all.
In Year 1 all children start on the 11 club, children are given 10 minutes to complete the maths problems, if they manage to get them all correct within that time they move up to the next club (22).
This carries on through the clubs with each club only having 10 minutes to complete it (169 club is extremely hard to do in 10 minutes).

A display of which club the children are in is displayed in the classroom and names/photos are moved as they progress through the clubs.

There are a few rules to the 99 club, children are not allowed to talk during the 10 minutes, calculators or multiplication table sheets cannot be used, if they are then the child is aware they cannot move up a club until the problems are achieved without help (children often use a multiplication sheet until they are more confident with their multiplication tables)

The children love doing this and trying to progress through the clubs, we celebrate each others successes and the pupils love to see each other succeed. If you have any more questions please contact me [email protected] or @grahamandre

Word documents can be downloaded from the zip file below so that you can edit the documents. Update extra clubs have been added - with answers.
