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.

Calculating with length
Ready for some calculations with length? Rulers at the ready...
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?

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.
Subtracting three-digit numbers
When subtracting three-digit numbers, there are three different methods you can use. Work out these subtractions using whichever method you find easiest.
Solving two-step word problems
Can you solve these problems? Jot down the numbers you need to use on the notebooks. Think about the steps needed to work out these problems and jot numbers down as you go along. Ask a parent if you need help finding one half and one fifth of a number.
Ratio problems
Ratio shows us the relationship between two numbers or quantities. Can you solve these ratio problems? Use some coloured counters to help with these problems if you need to.
Mental maths checker: doubles and halves of two- and three-digit numbers
Can you double and halve these two- and three-digit numbers? Colour in a star every time you get 10/10!
Adding and subtracting multiples of 10, 100 and 1000
Try this quick mental maths checker – adding and subtracting multiples of 10, 100 and 1000. Colour in a star every time you get 10/10!
Proportion problems
One in every three of these cupcakes is made with vanilla. Two in every three are made with chocolate. Can you solve these proportion problems? Use coloured counters if you get stuck with these

Perimeter investigation
How many four-sided shapes with a perimeter of 24cm can you create on the squared paper?
Perimeter explained
Imagine an ant crawling around the outside of a shape. The distance the ant walks is the shape’s perimeter. Perimeter is usually measured in centimetres and metres. Can you work out the answers to these perimeter questions?
Pairs of fractions that total one
Can you cut out these cards and match them up so that each pair of fractions total one?
Number sentences totalling 100 and 200
Look at these number sentences. What digits need to go in the gaps? Remember when adding two numbers totalling 100, the tens numbers have to add up to 90 and the units have to add up
to 10.
to 10.
Mystery 3D shape net
A net is an arrangement of 2D shapes, joined edge to edge, that make a 3D shape when folded up. What 3D shape do you think this net will make?
Multiplying with the partitioning method
When multiplying a two-digit number by a one-digit number, use your partitioning skills to split up the two-digit number and multiply each digit in turn. It works in exactly the same way as the grid method… just without the grid! Use this method to multiply these numbers.
Multiplying by 100
When you multiply a number by 100, use your place value skills to slide the digits two places to the left, then put two zeros in before the decimal point. Cut out these number cards. Each green number is an orange number multiplied by a hundred. Can you match them into their correct pairs?
Multiples of 5 investigation
Carol, Robert, Faye and Daniel all have collections of monster cards. Can you work out how many monster cards each person has from the information given?
Mixed numbers on a number line
Cut out these fraction cards. Can you work out where they should go on the number line below?
Line symmetry
Something is symmetrical when both sides of it are the same when cut in half. The line down the middle of a symmetrical shape is called the line of symmetry or a mirror line. Can you draw the other half of each shape using reflectional symmetry? Use a mirror to check your work!
Length problems challenge
To help you with these length calculations, change metres into centimetres and trying drawing the answers.
Incomplete multiplications
What numbers need to go in these stars so that the number sentences are correct? Think of any number to put in the gap. For example, if you put 3 in the first number sentence, you then need to multiply 3 by 10 and then multiply 3 by 8. You need to add these two numbers together. If this does not make the total given, you need to adjust the number up or down until you get that answer.
Horizontal and vertical lines
Horizontal lines are lines that go across. Vertical lines are lines that go up and down. How many horizontal lines does this shape have? How many vertical lines does it have? How many right angles does it have? Can you explain what a right angle is? Remember that the corner of a sheet of paper or book is a right angle.
Halving investigation
If you take any three-digit number ending in two zeros and keep halving it, you will eventually end up with a number that ends in 5. Do you think this is true? Test this out using this table to record your findings. Test every number possible.
