Edward’s Team Packs: Activities

Shared Reading · Year 4. An adult reads the questions and clues aloud. Children can talk, point, sign or choose an answer. For Jumbled Words, show the matching vocabulary word and build it together; children do not need to read independently.

equally: With the same amount in every share.

Jumbled Words

Use the clue to make a word from the story. Drag the letters with a mouse or finger, or tap a letter and then a space.

Put the story in order

Drag the pictures into order from first to last with a mouse or finger. Or tap a picture, then tap where it should go. Use arrow keys to move a focused picture.

Tell the story

Retell the story in order. Explain the problem, the method the characters tried and the evidence that their solution worked. Share 56 counters among seven drawn circles. Check eight in each. Show 7 × 8 as 7 × 5 plus 7 × 3, and relate this to 56 divided by 7.
