I bought the Yr 5 and 6 addition and subtraction escape room for my upper Yr 4 Math class. It really pushed them and made them think outside the box! It took most two full days to complete!
Easy to set up and use - lots of excitement for an end of Term activity!

Maths Warm-Up: Broken Calculator

Maths Warm-Up: Broken Calculator

This is one of those maths warm-ups that looks simple at first, but don't let that fool you because it gets students thinking flexibly, sharing strategies, and proving there's rarely just one way to tackle a maths problem.
Maths Warm-Up: Maths O'clock

Maths Warm-Up: Maths O'clock

If your students enjoy sharing different ways to solve a problem, they'll love this activity. This low-prep maths warm-up turns a simple clock face into a creative challenge that gets everyone thinking.
Maths Warm-Up: Msytery Digits

Maths Warm-Up: Msytery Digits

Some of the best maths conversations happen when there's more than one correct answer. That's exactly why this is one of my favourite maths warm-ups. It's a low floor, high ceiling activity that gets every student thinking, no matter where they're at.
