In this session children take a look at successful Olympic bids from London and Rio before starting to put together their own 2020 bid on behalf of one of the World Cup host cities.

Remind children that London has held the Olympics twice before. The first time was in 1908. Find out why London had only two years to prepare and research facts about the Games and the legacy left by London 1908.

Think big and create a class mural based on the work of Afewerk Tekle. Children work collaboratively to plan and paint a mural with a biblical subject in the same style as Tekle.

This presentation provides three days of teaching that cover the objectives: Count in 1⁄4s, 1⁄3s, 1⁄8s and 1⁄10s saying equivalent fractions. Find unit and non-unit fractions of amounts. It includes starter activities, whole class teaching, group activities, practice sheets and mastery questions. It can be used on a variety of interactive whiteboards. Day 1 Count in thirds along a 0-5 line marked in thirds. Point at a mark; children write the number. Repeat with a line showing 1/4s. Stress mixed numbers, e.g.one and three quarters; equivalence, e.g. one and a half is the same as one and two quarters. Repeat for tenths. Day 2 – Use a picture of a chocolate bar with 30 pieces to show how to find 1/5, 3/5, and 4/5 of 30, then 1/6 of 30 and 5/6 of 30. Repeat with 50 pieces to find 1/10 and subsequent non-unit fractions, e.g. 3/10. Day 3 Sketch a pizza and divide it into eight equal sections. If 16 bits of salami are distributed equally, how much on each slice? Show that 1/8 of 16 is 2 (16 ÷ 8); then derive other facts: 2/8 of 16 = 4, 3/8 of 16 = 6, etc. Show that 4/8 is 1/2. Demonstrate using a bar model and repeat with 24 pieces of tomato. This teaching is part of Hamilton’s Year 4 Decimals and Fractions block. Each Hamilton maths block contains a complete set of planning and resources to teach a term’s worth of objectives for one of the National Curriculum for England’s maths areas.

260 million people can’t be wrong! In this session children discover that there are few differences between the sports they like and participate in and those that children in Africa enjoy, before experiencing some traditional African games.

Who is your sporting hero? Children consider who their sporting heroes are, what makes them great and introduces the idea of sportspeople as role models. Children then investigate some African football idols for a game of top trumps.

Answers for all the Resources for Year 1 Spring Term.

Create an Ethiopian pocket icon. Children explore techniques of painting on wood and create their own icon images based on their studies.

Year 5 Addition and Subtraction: Decimal and money calculation. This in-depth Maths Investigation will develop maths meta-skills, and enable children to learn to think mathematically and articulate mathematical ideas. In-depth Investigation: Adding Odd and Even Amounts Children create two amounts of money – one with even digits, one with odd digits – and add these. They look for patterns of even/odd in the totals. This problem-solving investigation is part of our Year 5 Addition and Subtraction block. Each Hamilton maths block contains a complete set of planning and resources to teach a terms worth of objectives for one of the National Curriculum for England’s maths areas.

This in-depth maths investigation is an open-ended problem solving activity for Year 5 children. It can be used to support teaching towards the objective subtraction with decimals including money. In-depth Investigation: Decimal Differences Children subtract pairs of numbers with consecutive digits and different numbers of decimal places, and look for patterns in their answers. This investigation will develop maths meta-skills, support open-ended questioning and logical reasoning, and enable children to learn to think mathematically and articulate mathematical ideas. This problem-solving investigation is part of our Year 5 Decimals and Fractions block. Each Hamilton maths block contains a complete set of planning and resources to teach a term’s worth of objectives for one of the National Curriculum for England’s maths areas.

This activity is designed to be used by a teacher or a TA with children who need extra support before they can tackle these objectives: Use expanded and compact column subtraction with numbers <1000 Hops to 100 and Beyond - Using counting up (Frog) to subtract numbers either side of a multiple of 100, e.g. 304 – 297, then 304 – 267 This Extra Support Activity is part of our Year 4 Decimals and Fractions block. Each Hamilton maths block contains a complete set of planning and resources to teach a term’s worth of objectives for one of the National Curriculum for England’s maths areas.
