To find the perimeter of a shape you must add up the lengths of each of the sides. Can your child calculate the perimeters of these common shapes?
Calculating volume
Volume is the amount of 3D space that an object occupies. Volume can be measured in cubes. Calculate the number of cubes in each shape to work out the volume.
Estimate volume
Look at these containers. Which do you think has the greatest volume? (Think about their real-life size by considering what is inside.) Put them in order from smallest to largest volume. Estimate the volume in cm3, then calculate the volume to see how accurate you were.
Finding fractions of quantities
To find a fraction of a quantity, divide the quantity by the denominator (the bottom number of the fraction) and then multiply your answer by the numerator (the top number of the fraction). Can you work out these fractions of quantities, using this method?
Calculating perimeter
Imagine an ant crawling around the outside of a shape. The distance the ant walks is the shape’s perimeter. Can you measure the sides of these shapes by counting the squares and work out their perimeters?
Calculating area
Area is the name we use for the amount of space a surface takes up. You could measure the area of a small space like a table or a big space like the school field. We measure area in square units. Can you calculate the area of these shapes?
Using a calculator to solve problems
Mark, Katy and Harriet are looking for bargains in the New Year sales. Can you help them make their purchases, using a calculator to help you?
Sums investigation
How many different addition number sentences containing two-digit numbers can you make with these cards?
Reading the 24-hour clock
A KS2 maths worksheet created by an experienced teacher to help your child learn how to tell the time using the 24-hour clock.
Reading and plotting coordinates
Plot these four co-ordinates and then join them up to make a shape. What kind of shape is it?
Producing a line graph
See if you can buy or borrow a thermometer for this activity. Put the thermometer outside your home somewhere safe. Take a reading of the thermometer at the following times. Write the temperature in each blank box in degrees Celsius or centigrade. Now plot a line graph with your findings. How are temperature and time of day linked?
Interpreting a line graph
This line graph shows how the temperature outside Mary’s house changes over the course of one day. Can you read the graph and answer the following questions?
Finding the mode
When finding the MODE of a set of results, you need to look for the result that occurs most often. Find the mode spelling score from each of the groups in this class.
Chance and likelihood
Jake has a spinner that looks like this. Can you work out which of the following statements are correct, thinking about chance and likelihood?
Calculating angles on a straight line
Angles on a straight line will always add up to 180 degrees. Can you work out what the missing angles are? Don’t try to measure them with a protractor – they are deliberately not drawn correctly!
Maze puzzle: giving directions
Father Christmas is stuck in a maze. Help him to find a way out so he can deliver your presents! Can you give Father Christmas instructions to the maze exit? Decide which way he should go, then write down your instructions using these commands. F = go forwards, R90 = turn right 90°, L90 = turn left 90° Your instructions might look like this: F\R90\F\L90… and so on. There are lots of different possible routes; try all the exits from the centre.
Understanding decimal numbers
Numbers to the right of the decimal point are tenths of a whole. Numbers to the right of the tenths are hundredths of a whole. Can you shade these decimals on the squares below? Remember: each square represents one whole unit, made up of 100 hundredths.
Subtracting three-digit numbers: the number line method
When subtracting three-digit numbers you can use a number line to help you. This method looks like adding, because it starts with the smaller number and then counts on to the bigger number to find the difference between the two numbers. You then add up all the jumps you have made on the top. Use this method to work out these sums.
Solving proportion problems
This recipe is for a fish pie that feeds four people. Sue needs to make the fish pie to feed six people. How much will she need of each ingredient? You can use a calculator for this problem.
Relating fractions to percentages
If you are looking at a part of a whole (in this case shaded sections of a shape), you can write it as a fraction or a percentage. Can you shade the correct part of the shapes below?
Relating fractions to decimals
Can you cut out these cards and then match them up? This will help you relate simple fractions to decimals.
