Hi, welcome to Next Level Resources!
I'm Joe, a qualified English teacher with QTS and current college lecturer teaching additional needs.
My resources include:
- English (KS2/3 and Ascentis Entry 3/Level 1)
- Maths (Ascentis Entry 1, 3 and Level 1)
- Pearson Qualification Lessons for Entry 3 and Level 1
This is a lesson I made for my interview at a Primary school. The lesson was aimed at year 5 but would work for higher ability year 4 and upwards. This resource could also be adapted for a number of different year groups across KS2.
The lesson begins by using maths reasoning skills to answer a series of sometimes, always, never questions as a starter (answers on whiteboards). It then transitions into teaching how to complete number pyramids using addition and subtraction and has a chili challenge to differentiate for all abilities (this went particularly well). For those who complete the work quickly or want an extra challenge, there is a super spicy pyramid for higher ability students that includes decimals.
Resource sheets and answer sheets are included, students to self mark.
A lesson on identifying the place value of numbers in hundreds, tens and units. Created for Entry Level 3 students studying on Ascentis, this lesson and sequence of work on whole number skills would also be suitable for KS2/early KS3 students.
Learning Outcomes:
Students can identify the value of a digit based on its place in a number.
Students can apply place value understanding to solve problems.
PPTX content:
Starter Activity (number sequences)
Terminology explanation including pictorial representations
Interactive place value recognition activity (whiteboards required - teachers guidance given)
Introduction to the main task (includes teacher guidance)
Worksheet included in bundle or sold separately (third sheet intentionally blank as a stretch and challenge - students create their own tables)
A lesson on organising whole numbers in size order. Created for Entry Level 3 students studying on Ascentis, this lesson and sequence of work on whole number skills would also be suitable for KS2/early KS3 students.
Learning Outcomes:
Students can organise numbers in ascending and descending order.
Students can compare and contrast different numerical values effectively.

A lesson on how to complete data tables using two and three digit numbers written as words and digits. Created for Entry Level 3 students studying on Ascentis, this lesson and sequence of work on whole number skills would also be suitable for KS2/early KS3 students.
Learning Outcomes:
Students can complete tables using provided words and numbers.
Students can differentiate between different types of data and accurately place them in tables.
