Contributed by a fantastic Primary colleague. I use this as a collective memory challenge first (in groups - look at the picture for a minute each then try and recreate). Followed up using the scrabble board I have posted before.

These resources were produced to take to primary schools, our key stage 3 students taught children from level 2/3 up to level 6. The opening activity was the Tarsia, followed by a game of top trumps. Students then made their own top trump cards using expressions they had discovered. The closing activities have come from TES (I think). They are not my own but are freely available on the internet. I have put them in the order I used them, it is fairly obvious which is the lower/ mid and higher ability resource. The Minecraft Top Trumps have ended up with some angry bird pictures in them. Please feel free to adjust as you need. Tarsia

Assessment For the lower attaining/ very young pupils I used a calculated colouring sheet from 10 ticks that I cannot share here. If you have access to the file it is page 24 of the calculated colouring book, substituting values into expressions like a + b etc.
A session run for key stage 2 pupils as part of developing transition. 56 pupils from 8 different Primary schools attended
Invites were sent out the week before, the certificate/ business cards given out at the end oF the session (you may need to download a couple of fonts for them to look right)
These documents were given in a 'Top Secret' envelope, pupils were given about 10/ 15 minutes to familiarise themselves with the contents.
All the codes are set to a World War 2 theme, with the class split in half (2 teams of seven groups). Each team gets part of the code, once they are all decoded they have to make them into a sensible statement. If they don't do it in a set time that city is destroyed. Teams get all the codes at once but have to prioritise to ensure they complete the most pressing codes first (led by a timer on the board). Warning note - One of the transposition codes has an error on it, it will be amended soon.
