Maths help for parents of children aged 5 to 11Free maths worksheet from mathsblog.co.uk: ordinal numbers wordsearch
Whilst young children are not expected to know the term ‘ordinal numbers’ they are expected to know and understand terms such as first, second, third etc.
This is a simple wordsearch using these terms. All the words can be found either going across or down – there are no diagonals. It is good practice to help with reading and writing these words.
Hope you have all had a pleasant summer holiday, even if the weather has not been brilliant.

Well, it is certainly getting towards the end of term so I think we can afford to spare some time with some simple number searches and games.

An easier word search today, looking at words to do with place value.
The words are: more, less, plus, double, altogether, subtract, take, minus, half, difference and equals.
It is very important that children learn the meanings of these words so it is well worth taking a little time talking about them.
Quite a while since I put any maths word searches on the site so here is a straightforward one to do with data. All the vocabulary is aimed at year 3 children, but many older children will not be confident about the meaning and spelling of all these words.
The words can be found across and down as well as diagonally.
Continuing with our numbers word searches this looks at numbers mainly in the whole tens. Quite tricky as there are so many ‘ty’s in the wordsearch!
To make it easier the answers are either horizontal or vertical, no diagonals or backwards.
It’s been quite a while since I put up any puzzles/word searches so here is one for younger children to help with recognising numbers written in words up to 10. When the word has been found encourage them to write it down on the page next to the number.
Looking at my stats I can see that everyone is very busy with shopping, eating, drinking etc so will join you all and have a week off. I will leave you with a little puzzle in case you have nothing better to do!
Put the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 in the bottom layer of baubles on the Christmas tree. The next layer is made by adding the pairs of numbers below and so on up to the top. (more…)
Not only is this a hard type of maths puzzle to complete, the words themselves are quite tricky.
Remember in a word snake start at the arrow and track letters which are next to the previous letter (not diagonally).This means that you can follow quite a tricky path through the grid. Each letter of the grid is only used once.
The first mathematical word is given to you and it starts at the bottom left and snakes its way up the grid.
The second word begins with m and is next to the e of average. You are not given any clues for the last four words which makes it very difficult - you may need to peep at the answer to see what the words are and then track them.
Back to a straightforward word search today, suitable for year 5 children as there is some quite tricky vocabulary in this.
The format of this is more in line with traditional word searches. You are given all the words and they can be found in the grid, either across, down or diagonally.
Whilst doing this discuss the meanings of the words, especially numerator, denominator and equivalent.
