Fluency with numbers starts with small, high-impact moments. Here are a few activities you can try immediately:

Subitising Spot Challenges: Spot the number in a pattern without counting — a 2-minute warm-up that strengthens number sense.
Array Explorers: Turn concrete objects into pictorial representations and equations to see multiplication at work.
Retrieval Bursts: Ask pupils to recall facts or number patterns from previous sessions — short, low-stakes, highly effective.

All activities are designed to show that small, purposeful practice beats endless worksheets.
