I am an ex-primary head teacher and English, Maths and History specialist. I've mostly worked in KS2, often in Year 6. Although for the last two years, I've been working in Year 1, which has been delightful!
All the resources have been used successfully with children in a range of schools all over the country.

A complete unit of work for maths for September. Each of the twenty lessons includes a daily plan, a starter, introduction, differentiated tasks and plenaries, as well as a link to a youtube video which can be used to provide distance learning as and when required.
The unit cover the following areas of the curriculum:
• Place Value working with numbers to 20 (and beyond for HA)
• An introduction to addition using Part / Part / Whole
• Measures – length and height including recording length using non-standard and standard measures.
• Addition – introducing counting on and recording methods using + and = signs.
15 sets of complete lessons (3 x 5 days) covering current National Curriculum expectations for teaching short and long division, multiples, common multiples, prime factors, common prime factors, BODMAS, multiplication and division by powers of 10, metric measures, conversions between metric and imperial measures, and multi-step Word Problems.
Each week ends with either an investigation of Word Problems linked to the topic studied.
Every lesson includes:
