The greenhouse effect investigation
Our planet is constantly affected by different forces and factors – many of which are caused by humans. We often hear about something called “the greenhouse effect”… but what is it? The greenhouse effect is when our planet heats up due to harmful gases collecting in our atmosphere. This simple investigation will show you how it happens!
Night and day investigation
What causes us to have a night and a day? Why is it night on one side of the Earth but day on the other? Let's investigate!

Using the short multiplication method
Can you use the short multiplication method to solve these problems?
Using the short division method
One of the quickest ways to divide numbers is to use the short division method. Can you use this method to solve these problems?
Using the long multiplication method
In long multiplication we multiply the top number by the bottom number (units first and then tens and then hundreds and so on). Can you use this method to solve these problems?
Using decimal notation for measurement
Look at each of the measurements in the left-hand column. For each one, write its decimal representation.
The long multiplication method
One of the quickest ways to multiply two two-digit numbers is to use the long multiplication method. Can you use this method to solve these problems?
Solving word problems with short division
Work out these problems using the short division method.
Short multiplication with missing digits
Can you work out which numbers should go in the gaps by using the short multiplication method?
Short division with remainders
Sometimes when we divide we are left with a remainder. Can you use the short division method for these calculations? Remember, you will get a remainder for each one.
Short division practice
Look through this step-by-step reminder of how to use the short division method and then see if you can answer these questions.
Positioning hundredths on a number line
Each of the following number lines go up in hundredths (so each division = 1/100 or 0.01). Look at the following number lines. Write the decimal numbers that the arrows are pointing to in the boxes.
Positioning decimals on a number line: hundredths
Each of the following number lines go up in hundredths (so each division = 1/100 or 0.01). Write these decimals in the correct places on this number line.
Long multiplication word problems: multiplying four-digit and two-digit numbers
Work out the answers to these problems by using the long multiplication method. Remember to set out your working neatly and line the digits up carefully so that you don’t get muddled.

Equivalent fractions and decimals
Each row of this table tells you how many units, tenths and hundredths a number is made up of. Look at each row and work out how to represent each number as a decimal in the blank box provided. The units, tenths and hundredths will not always be given in order.
Dividing numbers using short division
Here's a quick method to divide a four-digit number by a one-digit number. Can you use it to answer these sums?
Decimal and fraction equivalence
The same mathematical quantities can be represented as fractions or decimals. Can you match these decimal cards with their equivalent fractions?
Convert units of measurement
Look at the measurements in the left-hand column. Can you convert them into the units of measurement given in the right-hand column?
An introduction to short division
Do you know how to do short division? Here's a quick method to try...
Using adverbs to connect clauses
A subordinate clause contains a subject and a verb, but it needs to be attached to a main clause because it cannot make sense on its own. Clauses can be linked by conjunctions, prepositions and adverbs. Adverbs are used to show sequence (eventually, finally, meanwhile), contrast (however, on the other hand) or cause and effect (therefore, subsequently). Which of the red adverbs from inside the brackets above would fit into the sentences below?
