Maths In Your Head<br />
Maths In Your Head is a collection of whole class activities, usually used as <strong>lesson</strong><br />
<strong>starters</strong> or <strong>enders</strong>, to encourage mental mathematics. Developed by practis<strong>in</strong>g<br />

of the National <strong>Numeracy</strong> Strategy. The levels of difficulty can be adapted to address<br />
Key Stages 2 to 4.<br />
Each activity has a brief description. Teachers will need to spend some time<br />
<strong>in</strong>troduc<strong>in</strong>g the basic activity <strong>in</strong> order to familiarise students with it. As students<br />
become more confident, variations can be <strong>in</strong>troduced <strong>and</strong> the level of difficulty<br />
<strong>in</strong>creased.<br />
Photocopiable resource sheets are <strong>in</strong>cluded <strong>and</strong> any equipment required is clearly<br />
