Two-Colour Counters
An interactive where you can choose both red and yellow draggable counters. The use is open-ended but ideas include addition, difference, multiplication and division.
Random Spinners
Spin from 1 - 4 spinners. With the built in activities you need to find the rule to produce a result using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
Fruit Splat - Compare Equations
Compare the addition, subtraction and multiplication equations by using the greater than, less than or equals to signs. Use either the timed or untimed mode.
Post Sorting
Sort the mail into the correct post boxes by working out simple addition, subtraction and division calculations as well as multiples. A resource which is great for use on interactive whiteboards too.
Law and Order
This tutorial is an investigation on the commutative law of addition. It also looks if there is a similar law for subtraction.
Abacus
Designed for use with an interactive whiteboard this is a great resource for demonstrating place value including decimals, counting, addition and subtraction.
Add and Subtract on a Number Line
Try adding and subtracting near multiples on a number line. Develop mental methods of addition and subtraction by adding and subtracting a multiple of 10 or 100, and then adjusting. Works well on IWB.
Number Spinners
This resource from Mathsframe generates random numbers using ‘spinners’ with 3, 4, 5 or 6 sides. Up to three spinners can be used in many ways, such as generating addition, multiplication or up to three digit numbers.
Ten Frames
A very versatile teaching tool which has 5, 10, 20 and 100 frames or grids as the facility to make your own custom frame. It could be used for addition especially number bonds, subtraction as well as creating multiplication arrays.
