Addition Measurements

This maths scheme of work for Key Stage Two gets the children to practise solving a range of addition number problems using measurements for length, mass and capacity in a range of units. The can model how to use informal and formal methods for addition calculations to illustrate how to solve each problem.

Log Flume

Design and calculate the length of the track for a theme park log flume ride using addition sums with measurements that have been recorded in metres

Water Bottles

Practise calculating the capacities of different sized bottles by exploring how to add pairs of two digit numbers using standard written methods

Farm Lengths

Identify and record how to solve a range of measurement length problems about farms using addition and subtraction written calculations

Pizza Toppings

Explain and model how to calculate the mass of pairs of toppings added to a pizza using informal addition calculations when adding multiples of fifty and one hundred

  • Subtraction Differences

    Subtraction Differences

    Explain and model some of the informal and formal written calculations skills that can be used to find the difference between pairs of two and three digit numbers

  • Fraction Equivalence

    Fraction Equivalence

    Investigate, compare and record the values of different non-unit fractions using equivalence between their sets of matching numerators and denominators

  • World Wars Poems
