Year 4 Magic at Maths - Mastery Activities. Over 50 different questions and activities to help you assess whether a child has mastered the Year 4 National Curriculum. Perfect for plenaries and extension activities. The new National Curriculum is all about studying concepts in greater depth and applying knowledge and understanding to different areas of mathematics. The term 'mastery' is one that is being discussed widely in the educational word currently and this includes gaining a general agreed consensus of what it means to 'master' the curriculum. At the PTRC we have used the NAHT KPIs to come up with a variety of activities to help you assess whether children in your class have mastered the curriculum. Many of the activities require the children to explain their reasoning as well as apply their knowledge and skills across a range of topic areas. Included in this PowerPoint is 14 slides covering 14 of the key Year 4 learning objectives from the new National Curriculum (see pictures for example slides). The objectives are detailed in the notes section of each PowerPoint slide for easy reference. There is also a slide introducing the pack, providing you with what we believe mastery to be and giving you some ideas of how to use the PowerPoint slides. The pack is aimed at children in years 4 but can be used with other pupils throughout the Primary phase. These activities are provided in PowerPoint format so they can be displayed on a whiteboard or printed out.

A great mental maths resource which is perfect for the beginning of the lesson and for revision in the build up to SATs. However what makes these loop cards different to other packs is that they are differentiated, meaning that all the children in the group/class can be challenged or participate in the activity. This pack of loop cards are differentiated three ways and are indicated by a traffic light. Red light - designed for the more able children in the class/group Yellow light - designed for the middle group in the class Green light - designed for the less able children in the class/group Once the class or group have completed the loop card activity once, why not time them to see if they can complete the 'loop' in a faster time. Each child could keep the same card or they can be rotated between groups. TOP TIP - After printing, why not laminate so that you have a resource which can be used over and over again? Included in this set are 32 loop cards which include the type of questions usually encountered in the Mental Maths SATs test. Topics include: Multiplying and dividing by 10 and 100 Addition, Subtraction, Division, Multiplication Measures Angles 2D and 3D Shapes Fractions and Percentages Negative Numbers There are 4 loop cards on each A4 sheet, making them easy to keep and store.
