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
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.
Different denominators: fractions addition
When adding and subtracting fractions that have the same denominators, you simply calculate with the numerators and ignore the denominators. When calculating with fractions with different denominators, you need to change the fractions so that you can calculate with them. See if you can work out these questions.
Adding and subtracting fractions
When adding two fractions whose denominators (bottom numbers) are the same, you simply add the two numerators (top numbers) and leave the denominators the same. Can your child work out the fraction additions in this worksheet?
Adding and subtracting fractions practice
When adding two fractions whose denominators (bottom numbers) are the same, you simply add the two numerators (top numbers) and leave the denominators the same. Can you work out these fraction additions?
Venn diagram multiples investigation
Venn diagrams are a great tool to help you investigate whether a statement is true or false. Use the blank diagrams below to investigate the given statements. Give at least 10 examples before deciding whether the statements are true or false.
Using a tally chart to solve a problem
Penelope Pennywise is a very sensible (and scarily organised!) girl. She’s decided to make sure that she will have enough money each month to spend on her friends’ and family members’ birthdays. Here’s some information (some of it is important, some of it isn’t) about Penelope’s plan, and a list of birthdays throughout the year. Use the tally chart to help you work out how much Penelope will need to spend each month on birthdays. Will she be able to buy presents for everyone on her list?
Recognise equivalent proportions
If the equivalence is correct, use the “correct” letter in the riddle below; if it is incorrect use the “incorrect” letter.
Ratio investigation
Cut out your red circles (these will act as counters). One side is red, the other side is white. How many different ratios can you show with these counters? Now flip the counters to find more ratios. When you’ve finished… How many did you find?
Proportion explained
Proportion shows the amount of something out of a total amount. For instance, if I had 20 stickers and 7 of them were red, the proportion of red stickers would be 7 out of 20, or 7/20. Proportions are fractions!
Proportion dominoes
Cut out these dominoes cards and see if you can match them up. Be careful, some proportions might be simplified (for example, 2/3 blue could mean 4 blue out of 6 altogether).
Percentage pods explained
We can find percentages of numbers by using a percentage pod! As you practise using the percentage pod model you’ll get used to finding the percentages in your head and develop a mental method.
Finding percentages with a percentage pod
Do you know how to use a percentage pod? Use a percentage pod to calculate theses percentages.
Estimating to calculate
Before we do a calculation it’s useful to make a quick estimate. This helps because when we complete the calculation we will know if we are right or not based on the closeness to the estimation.Can you estimate the answers to the following? Remember to estimate, don’t do the working out!
Estimate the price game
This is a game for 2 to 4 players. The aim of the game is to correctly estimate the correct price of an item. The game host holds all the item cards. Players are assigned an item and take it in turns to guess the price. The person closest to the correct answer ‘wins’ that item and is given the card. The first person with 3 cards wins!
Complex Venn diagrams
Can you read and use all kinds of Venn diagrams? Try these more complex diagrams and questions to extend your understanding.
Carroll diagram puzzle
The labels for these Carroll diagrams have fallen off. Can you put them in the correct places?
Carroll diagram planning
Emily is having a birthday party. To help with buying food, Emily has sorted her guests into a Carroll diagram. Use it to plan for the birthday party below.
Calculating discounts
Play this quick calculation game with a partner. Take it in turns to turn over an item card and a percentage card. Work out how much money you are saving on each item by calculating the discount percentage. After three rounds, the person who has saved the most money wins.
Using cubes to calculate volume
Volume is the amount of 3D space that an object occupies. Calculate the number of cubes in each shape to work out the volume (measured in cubic centimetres, cm3).
Sorting regular and irregular shapes
Regular shapes have equal-length sides and all the internal angles are equal. Can you cut out the shapes and sort them into the Venn diagram? Then draw a circle around the regular shapes and write a definition of an irregular shape.
Roman numerals puzzle
Can you complete this puzzle with the correct Roman numerals?
