12 DAYS WORTH OF MATHS STARTERS- DIFFERENTIATED. I created this powerpoint to keep their maths skills quick. Each day, regardless of the maths topic, we will engage with one of these maths starters prior to the lesson. I found that children were not retaining the maths we had done throughout the year, so this was a quick, easy way to keep our skills fresh and quick. They’re differentiated into three groups and we call it the chilli challenge!! 1 Chilli- Low Ability 2 Chilli- Middle Ability 3 Chilli- High Ability If these are a hit, I will continue to make and upload these. Please let me know if they were helpful.

A weeks lesson plan introducing children to non-chronological reports. Speaking and Listening is incorporated into these lessons also by allowing children to pretend they are news reporters. Children will be taught how to 'hook' their readers in and write in factual sentences.
