35 Key Stage 2 Numeracy interactive resources for Primary Schools.

Maths interactive resources and activities for your IWB.

Alginon's Algebra

Explore 2 step algebraic equations, hide and reveal elements in the expression. Also includes an assessment activity.

Angles

Use as a demonstration tool to aid the use of a protractor and test your angle estimation skills.

Compare Numbers

Compare number size and place the greater or less than sign in the correct place. Three levels of numbers to 100, 1000 & 10000

Leapfrog

Traditional frog jumping puzzle. Can you swap the green and blue fogs over? How few moves does it take? What if the number of frogs were to change?

Crazy Counter

Can you reach the target number in as few clicks as possible? Makes use of doubling and halving strategies in working towards a target number.

Mean Machine

Ease into your leathers, don the helmet and flip the visor - it's time to ride the mean machine. A tool for supporting work on the mean, median and range in Yr 6.
MMNotes

Money Match

Use the coins from the virtual purse to make various amounts from 20p to £5.00. Also levels to test the calculation of change when buying various items priced at either 20p, £1.00 or £5.00

Near Doubles

Similar to Crazy Counter but with different parameters. Makes use of doubling and halving strategies.

Number Balance KS2

The KS 2 version of this activity for developing understanding of simple equations. Hide individual numbers or symbols as you wish. Uses the < and > symbols as well as =.

Odd or Even

Drag and drop the number tiles to their correct position on the Venn diagram.

Number Track

Place the number tiles into the correct order on the track. There are 3 levels of difficulty.

Polygon Sort

Sort these polygons using a Carroll diagram. Watch them bounce back if you put them in the wrong location.

Pyramid Numbers

Change the numbers in the blocks at the bottom of the pyramids and explore the effect on the number in the top block. What's the highest total you can get using the numbers 1 to 5 only once?

4 Digit Sequencer

An enhancement of the sequencer found in the toolkit section. This allows for the input of 4 digits and negative numbers.

3D Shape Match

Simple to play pelmanism game where children have to recognise and remember the positions of matching cards.

Sticky Numbers

Fridge magnet style numbers and symbols for a variety of open ended tasks. Use the notepad to capture equations made.

Symmetry Sort

How many lines of symmetry does a square have? Find out this and more in this symmetry sorting activity. Available as a bounce back demo or without bounce back for assessment.

Triangle Sort

Learn about triangle properties before sorting them in different Venn diagrams.

Goal

Work towards a target quotient by trying different divisors and comparing quotients. Pop-up calculator available!

Guess The Number

A classic Guess the Numbers game. The computer generates a random number - you work towards getting closer to the hidden number by using the higher or lower clues given in the feedback.

Virtual Pinboard

Explore 2D shapes on this virtual pinboard where you can control the pinboard background and transpency of the shape, as well as the number of vertices.

Wash Line 2

Key Stage 2 ordinal number activity with up to 3 decimal places.

Magic Number Cauldron

Using a Macbeth style backdrop ingredients are added to the witches cauldron to make a number spell The activity needs supporting via teacher questioning but the basic objective is to work out the function of each ingredient.
Number Cauldron lesson outline

Alien Weigh In

This drag and drop weighing scales simulation gives pupils the opportunity to apply the skills of accurately reading scales in a motivating way.
Alien Weigh In lesson outline

Teachers Toolkit

Demonstration tools to support whole class and group teaching in the daily maths lesson. Ideal for use on interactive whiteboards.

Big Blue Calculator

Use the Big Blue Calculator on the Interactive whiteboard. Show the children how the calculator works and use the LCD display on and off switches with appropriate questioning to develop pupils understanding.
Calculator lesson outline

Algebra Quiz

This is a two-step algebra equation quiz to support the understanding of algebraic expressions. 15 multiple choice questions with built in answer checking.

Times Tables Quiz

This is a times tables quiz to support the understanding of multiplication tables. 15 multiple choice questions with built in answer checking.

Double Function Machine

Two operation function machine with options to hide numbers and set all operations and numbers.

Hundred Square

A versatile hundred square with three highlight colours, hide or reveal, variable start number and a variable step feature.

Mr Pips Fruit Balance

This drag and drop balance scales simulation is an open ended application that teachers can use to support mathematical learning in a variety of ways.
Fruit Balance lesson outline

Venn Diagram

This drag and drop Venn Diagram simulation gives pupils the opportunity to solve a mathematical problem based on number properties using a range of different Venn diagrams. There are 5 different levels involving a range of multiples and number properties. The three core layouts cover simple separate sets, two intersecting sets and a three way intersecting Venn.
Venn Diagram Notes

Card Flip

Deal the playing cards to help demonstrate probability. Use the shuffle button to start, limit the suits available by using the suit buttons followed by the shuffle button.

Mean Runners

This resource is designed to consolidate understanding of the terms and calculation of mean,median and mode in the context of a simple data set.
Mean Runners Teacher Notes

Boxing Weigh In

Drag the boxers onto the scales and see how much they weigh. Boxers weights can be changed via the set weights button.
