Ten Minute Maths A Guide for Parents
Mission Statement
Life is an adventure, embrace it Life is a challenge, meet it Life in an opportunity, capture it
Aim of this document The aim of this booklet is to offer suggestions for ways in which to provide opportunities at home to regularly practice mental maths skills. This is similar to the way we encourage regular reading at home. The idea is for children to use an activity card and resource(s) and to spend about 10 minutes practising the suggested activities as often as possible. The cards are designed to be used in order.
The games and activities in this booklet can be played independently or with someone else (e.g. a parent / relative). The ideas are not exhaustive and can be adapted quite easily. This will help to sustain the ideas over the longer term.
We hope that you enjoy trying out at home some of the activities and ideas within this guide.
Yours sincerely

Find the difference between the total and 10 Lay out all (10) digit cards face down. Reveal 4 cards. Create two U.t numbers (eg 2.8 & 6.1) or two numbers less than one (eg 0.28 & 0.61). Add them together Use the same 4 digit cards to create other numbers. Which pair gives the total nearest to 10 or 1? Roll the dice (1 – 9) four times to give 4 digits (eg 3, 6, 4, 3). Use the digits to create a number less than 1 (eg 0.33) and a number less than 10 (eg 4.6). Add them together. What other totals can you make? Find the difference each time. What combination gives the smallest / largest difference?
Multiplication and Division facts Resources: Digit cards: (1 – 5), (1 – 10) and (1 – 20) Dice: (1 – 3) dot, (1 – 6) dot / number and (1 – 9) / (0 – 9) number Dominoes
Card One -I can double amounts. - I can halve amounts. NB Children will need to explore doubling /
halving in a variety of practical contexts (eg cooking, shopping, role play).
Find a domino that has the same number of dots on both ‘sides’. How many dots are there on each side / altogether? Practise the number sentence: “double 1 is the same as 1 and 1” etc Roll a pair of (1 – 3) or (1 – 6) dice. Call “SNAP” when both dice have the same number of dots. How many dots are there altogether? Talk about the number sentence each time. Use the digit cards 2, 4, 6 and 8. Reveal a card. Find a (double) domino that has the same (total) number of spots as the digit card. Practise the number sentence: “3 and 3 makes 6 & half of 6 is 3”
Card Two - I can double numbers up to D5. - I can halve even numbers up to 10. - [I can double nos. up to D10.] NB Children will still need to explore doubling /
halving in a variety of practical contexts before moving to a more abstract understanding.
Play the ‘Doubles race’ game. Draw a ‘3x3’ grid. Roll the dice. Double the number and record in the grid. Repeat to complete the grid. Now, roll the dice, double & cross out that number if it’s on the grid. [Can also be played as a game between 2, or more, players]. Shuffle number cards (2, 4, 6, 8 and 10). Place face down. Reveal a card and say ‘What is half of that number?’ (eg “half of 6 is 3 and double 3 is 6”) Play ‘Snakes and Ladders’ game. When dice is rolled, double the number and move forward that number of spaces. Play dominoes. For this game, touching numbers must be double / half of each other.

Play the ‘Tables race’ game. Draw a ‘3x3’ grid. Roll the (1-9) dice. Multiply the number (by 2 or 10) and record in the grid. Repeat to complete the grid. Now, roll the dice, multiply (by 2 or 10) and cross out that number if it’s on the grid. [Can also be played as a game between 2, or more, players].
Play ‘Doubles bingo’ game. Draw a ‘3x3’ grid. Fill the grid with even numbers up to 40. Shuffle (1 – 20) cards and place face down. Reveal a card, double it and cross out that number if it’s on the grid. [Agree rules for how to win the game]
Shuffle the number cards (1 – 15). Place in a pile face down. Turn over one card at a time and say the double of that number. Time yourself. Shuffle the digit cards (1 – 9). Place in a pile face down. Turn over one card and say multiplication fact for, say, the 10 times table. Repeat for each card in the pile. Time yourself. Extend to also say the related division fact each time. Play dominoes. In this game, the total of touching numbers must a multiple of 2.
Reveal a domino to create a TO number. State a known (x / ÷) fact related to the number. [Agree a system for scoring points] Roll the dice (1 – 9). Each time, recall (x / ÷) facts for the 2 / 5 / 10 times tables. [Agree a system for scoring points] Play ‘Number Battleships’ game. Each player draws two, ‘4x3’ grids and fills one grid with numbers from 1 – 20. [The other grid is left empty.] Players take turns to say a number sentence using halves of (even) numbers up to 40. You scores a ‘hit’ if the number is on your opponents’ grid. You record the number in its correct place on your empty

Select two cards and create a TO number (<50). Either: a) double the number b) link the number to known facts of the 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 10 times tables (incl. remainders) Play dominoes. For this game, touching numbers must have a product that is >10 but <20. State x / ÷ facts each time. Play ‘Domino bingo’. Draw a ‘4x3’ grid and fill with six numbers that can be a product of the two numbers on any domino. Turn over one domino and cross out if product is on the grid of numbers.

Roll a pair of (0 – 9) dice. Each time create U.t number. You have 5 seconds to double / halve the number. [Score points for the number of correct responses] Play ‘Largest remainder’ game. Use digit cards (0 – 9). Each player picks three cards and arranges them to make TO ÷ O that gives the largest possible remainder. [Agree a system for scoring points] Play ‘Deal all 10’ game. Use number cards (1 – 10). Turn two cards over and place side by side. Say the product. If correct, turn over a new card, place on top of one of the other cards and multiply numbers again. Continue until all ten cards have been used. Record your quickest time. Product totals. Use cards (1 – 10). Reveal six cards and make three pairs. Find the product of each pair and add three numbers. Make the largest / smallest possible total. Use digit cards (1 – 10). Select a TO target number. Each card can be used once only. Use the ‘four rules’ to make the target number (or as close to it as possible).
