Ramadan Maths Workbooks (with answers)

Ramadan is a time where I choose not to introduce new academic content to my children but I have found that some structure is good. 

I have put together a couple Ramadan Maths workbooks (with answers) that the children can go though to practice Maths skills

This first booklet is aimed at upper KS2 (ages 9-11 years old).  
(Always remember that children work at their own speed, the age is just guidance. The level used was taken from the English National Curriculum.)


This booklet is aimed at KS3 (aged 11-14 years)
(Always remember that children work at their own speed, the age is just guidance. The level used was taken from the English National Curriculum.)

Asalam Alaykum wa Rahmatulahi Wa Baraku.

Alhamdulilah we are nearing Ramadan. May Allah allow us to reach it and benefit from it. 

Please find below two Ramadan Booklet. The first is aimed at age 7+ and the second for age 10+.

I created these booklets a few years ago with the intention to help my children seek knowledge about Ramadan and to revise the important basics of Islam. I learnt lots while creating them!

The booklets content has been checked by a student of Knowledge Alhamdulilah. 
All benefit in the book is from Allah, any mistakes are from myself.

Sunnah actions on Eid Day

Moon Phases Activity

We see the moon growing from a thin crescent to a half moon, then slowly increasing until we see the beautiful full moon, then it starts to get gradually smaller again and finally disappears. This cycle is called the moon phases and is usually 28-29 days long.

It is beneficial to learn the phases as it can help us understand the lunar month. Muslims follow a lunar calendar. The months start when a new crescent moon is spotted.  

The moon tells us when the blessed month of Ramadan begins when we fast for a month. Muslims around the world wait eagerly for the news it has been spotted.

I have made a basic template to make a moon phases tracker - free downloadable below:

Steps:
  1. Colour the moons in white to represent the phases.
  2. Draw a small arrow, paint or colour it white and cut it out.
  3. Use a split pin to attach the arrow to the page (on the centre white dot)
  4. Hang it on the wall to follow the moon phases. 
(I glued the paper to some cardboard before starting to make it more sturdy).
