A sequence of lessons of four lessons for whole-class reading comprehension lessons based on a text on the Ancient Maya. Included is the PowerPoint with all four lessons (written with 5/6 in mind but easily adaptable), the information text about the Ancient Maya and an activity and answer sheet for each lesson. The focus over the week covers vocabulary, retrieval, inference and the ability to summarise.
Four lessons that focus on being able to use written multiplication for 2-digit numbers by 1-digit in Year 3.
Lesson 1 and 2 - A double lesson that focuses on introducing 2-digit by 1-digit multiplication for children in Year 3, using partitioning to support with this. Included is a lesson PowerPoint that includes arithmetic starters, activity task and challenge tasks which both also include answers.
The lessons work on building understanding through multiplying by the ones and then the tens seperately to then add together. This can then be used to build on to written multiplication through one step.
Lesson 3 and 4 - A double lesson that focuses on introducing 2-digit by 1-digit multiplication for children in Year 3, using the compacted method having previously been taught partitioning to support with this. Included is a lesson PowerPoint that includes arithmetic starters, activity task and challenge tasks which both also include answers.
Alternatively the lessons can be found separately as doubles at:

Four lessons that focus on being able to work with perimeter in Year 5 with lessons set out as two double lessons.
The first double lesson focuses on being able to measure shapes and calculate the perimeter of rectangles and squares where a ruler has been provided to measure the shapes.
The second double lesson then follows up by focusing on being able to calculate the perimeter of different shapes, using the information provided or what children already know about the property of shapes.
Each double lesson includes:
A double lesson PowerPoint that includes an arithmetic starter for each lesson, key vocabulary, modelling and discussion points as well as guided practice before moving on to independent activities.
An independent activity that applies what children have learnt during the teaching part of the lesson. An answer sheet is included for the activity and there are challenge activities for children that finish which also include answers. The activity and challenges run over both lessons as it is expected that there may be more time teaching and talking in the first lesson before having more time to practise in the second lesson. However, everything is uploaded in PPT format so can be easily edited to suit.

Three fully-resourced lessons focusing on being able to calculate the area of compound shapes.
The lessons are split so that they act as an introductory lesson before having a double lesson that provides the opportunity to develop and become confident in finding the area of compound shapes.
The first lesson includes a lesson PowerPoint that includes an arithmetic starter, key vocabulary, modelling and discussion as well as guided practice. This is followed up with an independent activity and challenge tasks to apply what has been learnt, with answer sheets included with these.
The double lesson includes a double lesson PowerPoint that includes an arithmetic starter for each lesson, key vocabulary, modelling and discussion as well as guided practice. This is followed up with an independent activity and challenge tasks to apply what has been learnt (that stretch over both lessons with more time teaching first lesson and more time practising in the second lesson), with answer sheets included with these.
A fully planned and resourced writing unit working on creating a set of instructions for mummification.
Included in the resource is:
Lesson PowerPoints
Lesson activities including a sequencing task and a editing task
Fronted adverbials and imperative verbs word mat
Instructions knowledge organiser
Model text
With drafting and redrafting, as well as then publishing a final piece, there should be enough lessons for between 6 and 8 lessons. The ‘lessons’ as they appear on the PowerPoint may take more than one ‘lesson’ and form sequences of learning. The first step is looking at the features of instructions, including a focus on the knowledge organiser before then identifying these in the model text.
The second sequence then moves on to being able to sequence the steps of mummification when given a set of instructions that can then be improved as part of a challenge. This moves on to then taking a simple set of instructions and improving them, with teacher modelling and guided practice before completing the activity.
This then leads into drafting and redrafting, including teacher modelling and providing feedback based on how pupils write, with the previous activities and word banks still being available to support during the writing process.
Four lessons that focus on rounding in Year 4. Separate lessons focus on rounding to the nearest 10, 100 and 1000 before a final recap lesson that focuses on all 3. Each lesson includes the PowerPoint which includes an arithmetic starter, blank number lines, an activity that comes with answers and three reasoning and problem solving questions.
Fully resourced lessons on written division that begins with a double lesson on 1-digit division before moving on to a single and then double lesson on 2-digit division. Each set of lessons includes PowerPoints with daily arithmetic starters, a worksheet activity and challenge tasks with answers provided for both of these.
Fully resourced lessons on written multiplication that begins with a double lesson on 1-digit multiplication before moving on to a single and then double lesson on 2-digit multiplication. Each set of lessons includes PowerPoints with daily arithmetic starters, a worksheet activity and challenge tasks with answers provided for both of these.
A bundle of worksheets focused on multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1000.
Each worksheet includes place value grids to support placing the number and then a second grid to consider how the digits move to support answering the question. Answer sheets are also included.
Overall, there are 16 worksheets that focus on whole number answers and decimal answers through single operation focus and multiple focus.
A bundle of PowerPoint's that can be used for various lessons on determiners. Included are demonstrative, quantifying, numerical, ordinal, possessive and the, a and an.
Each presentation focuses on examples of these determiners. This then extends to showing different examples of them in use before getting children to think about their position in relation to the noun and identify determiners themselves in a sentence.
A set of 10 lesson slides overall that work on the four operations including mental operations and identifying the links between the different operations. Also included are a range of questions that check deeper understanding and show problems in different ways for children.
Three double lessons that all include arithmetic starters, activities that run over the two lessons with answers and challenge tasks for children who finish. The second lesson slides are easily adaptable depending on how the first lesson went.
There are also then four activities for working on Roman Numerals.
A fully resourced five lesson sequence on being able to work with perimeter in Year 3.
Included is a double lesson that focuses on being able to measure perimeter. This includes:
A fully-resourced double lesson aimed at the Year 3 objective based on being able to measure shapes to then calculate the perimeter. To ensure consistency of measurement when printing, this is done with ruler images provided that children then need to read.
Included is a double lesson PowerPoint that includes an arithmetic starter for each lesson, key vocabulary, modelling and discussion as well as guided practice. This then moves on to independent activities and challenge questions, with answers included for these.
