Important update from TheSchoolRun
For the past 13 years, TheSchoolRun has been run by a small team of mums working from home, dedicated to providing quality educational resources to primary school parents. Unfortunately, rising supplier costs and falling revenue have made it impossible for us to continue operating, and we’ve had to make the difficult decision to close. The good news: We’ve arranged for another educational provider to take over many of our resources. These will be hosted on a new portal, where the content will be updated and expanded to support your child’s learning.
What this means for subscribers:
- Your subscription is still active, and for now, you can keep using the website as normal — just log in with your usual details to access all our articles and resources*.
- In a few months, all resources will move to the new portal. You’ll continue to have access there until your subscription ends. We’ll send you full details nearer the time.
- As a thank you for your support, we’ll also be sending you 16 primary school eBooks (worth £108.84) to download and keep.
A few changes to be aware of:
- The Learning Journey weekly email has ended, but your child’s plan will still be updated on your dashboard each Monday. Just log in to see the recommended worksheets.
- The 11+ weekly emails have now ended. We sent you all the remaining emails in the series at the end of March — please check your inbox (and spam folder) if you haven’t seen them. You can also follow the full programme here: 11+ Learning Journey.
If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected]. Thank you for being part of our journey it’s been a privilege to support your family’s learning.
*If you need to reset your password, it will still work as usual. Please check your spam folder if the reset email doesn’t appear in your inbox.

Reading scales and solving problems
A KS2 numeracy worksheet created by an educator to help your child practise reading scales and solving problems.
Calculating perimeters
A Year 5 and 6 printable worksheet created by an experienced teacher to help your child practise calculating perimeters.
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?
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.
Multiplying a three-digit number by a one-digit number with the grid method
The grid method is a good way to multiply three digits by one digit. To do this you will need to partition your numbers and put them in a table. Can you use the grid method to work out these sums?
Measuring angles with a protractor
Have a look at these instructions on how to measure using a protractor. Can you measure these angles using a protractor?
Introduction to percentages
When dealing with percentages, we have to imagine that something has been split into a hundred equal pieces. Look at the percentages written above each square and colour the squares in to show the correct percent.
Finding percentages of quantities: multiples of 10
If you need to find 30%, 40%, 60%, 70%, 80% or 90% of a quantity, just find 10% of the quantity and then multiply it by 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 or 9. Use this method to work out these sums.
Finding percentages of quantities: 10%, 20%, 25% and 50%
A KS2 maths worksheet created by a primary school teacher to help your Year 6 child with percentages and how to find 10%, 20%, 25% and 50% of quantities.
Finding percentages of quantities: 5% and 10%
When you want to find 5% of a quantity, just find 10% and then halve it. Use this method to work out these sums.
Finding multiples
Draw a line to match these numbers to the correct multiple underneath. (Remember, some numbers have more than one multiple.)
Finding factors
A FACTOR is a whole number that multiplies with another whole number to make a third number. Can you find all the pairs of factors for these numbers?
Dividing multiples of 100
When dividing multiples of 100 it can be easier to divide each number by ten first. Can you work out these sums using this method?
Decimals: doubling and halving
When doubling and halving decimals it is sometimes easier to imagine them as two-digit numbers. See if you can double and halve the following decimals, using the knowledge you already have of doubling and halving other numbers.
Checking calculations with the inverse operation
Can you use the inverse to check if these number sentences are correct? Remember: check a division number sentence is correct by multiplying the two smaller numbers to see if they make the bigger number; check a subtraction number sentence by adding the two smaller numbers to see if they make the bigger number.
Adding and subtracting decimals
When adding and subtracting decimals, it can be helpful to think about money. For example: 1.7 + 1.5. Change this to £1.70 and £1.50 to make £3.20, so the answer is 3.2. Use this method to work out these sums.
Y4 weight word problems
Can you work out these weight word problems using kilograms and grams? You'll need to remember how many grams are in a kilogram and a half kilogram.
Y4 tricky number sequences
Can you complete these number sequences? They are not related to your times tables, so you will need to think hard about each one! Some of the sequences go backwards and some include negative numbers.
Y4 capacity word problems
Can you solve these capacity problems using millilitres and litres?
Weight problems challenge
Can you solve these weight problems? To help you, you might need to change kg into g.
Venn and Carroll diagrams
Can you put these numbers into this Venn diagram? Now put the same numbers into this Carroll Diagram. Think about each number in turn and then cross it off when you have put it into the correct place. It may help to write a list of multiples of 7 and 5 before you start.
Using tally and bar charts
What’s your favourite part of Christmas? Find information about the best aspects of the festive season for as many people as you can by asking your friends at school and your family at home. They will need to choose from the list in the table. Keep a tally of the numbers using this tally chart. Now use these axes to draw your own bar chart to show the information you have found.
Using a calculator for two-step problems
You can use a calculator for these two-step problems. What calculations will you need to do? Think hard about what numbers you need to key in and what you will need to write down as you go along.
