Mental Maths Grids

I cannot take any credit for this idea, both the idea and grid came from my new year 4 collegue.

I intend to have these mental maths grids out on the desks at the beginning of a maths lesson. I will give the children the name of a column and an instruction; for example, column A multiplied by 2 or column G subtract 50.

Eventually I will give the children two or three instructions to choose from so they can pick a suitable challenge.
