This is a revision guide for Y6 children preparing for the Arithmetic test (SATs). It can be used in the days before as a last minute guide to the four calculations, BODMAS, percentages and fractions. My class found it very useful, and I shall use it again over the next few days.

These are the Teacher Led questions for Guided Reading sessions based on the ORT Stage 16 Classics. It is based on the teacher reading once a week with the children and may require children to read following chapters at home (therefore questions do not cover each chapter). Preparation questions can be given to the children the day before the teacher led session. 6 Novels are included (Treasure Island, The Lost World, Sherlock Holmes, Oliver Twist, Frankenstein and Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde).

This pack was aimed at Y5 during the summer holidays, however it could be adapted slightly for Y3-6. It consists of various activities including maths, spellings, descriptive writing and geography. It is meant to be fun to engage the children (e.g. wordsearch and time tables raps). Each task is awarded points (thus ensuring all children in the class can access it) which children accumulate during the pack to obtain broze, silver, gold or platinum award....you can decide whether you give any prizes in return.

This weekly unit covers mental addition and subtraction, brackets, BODMAS and problems using the 3 areas of maths (fluency, reasoning and problem solving). Each day has a related Activinspire presentation and differentiated by 3 abilities.

This is an 'activinspire' flipchart aimed at Y6 - rounding to 100,000 (whole numbers). It leads the children through the process including rounding to 10, 100 and 1000, and includes 3 differentiated activities, with an extension to developing fluency. It may take more than 1 lesson to work through.

This is a support mat for children to use when writing (or as a display poster) which will help the children develop the cohesiveness of their writing. It states down strategies to use, examples of each and then the impact this has on the reader. This is aimed at KS2/3 children

This resource includes the 5 days Activinspire flipcharts for multiplication and division relationships, prime numbers, multiples and factors. There are also worksheets which are in line with the 3 aspects of maths: fluency, reasoning and problem solving - differentiated 3 times.

This resource is based upon measure for Y6 - to meet age related standards. It focuses on the link between area and perimeter (same area - different perimeter), area of triangles and parallelograms, volumes of cuboids, negative temperatures and time. Each day is supported by an Activinspire chart leading the children through the process. Each day has a worksheet, differentiated by 3 abilities. Where appropriate is will focus on the 3 areas of learning: fluency, reasoning and problem solving. Each day begins with '6 a day' - to improve arithmetic understanding.

This resource includes 6 weeks planning for Guided Reading. For each week, it allows for a test per week (one lesson), working through the test (one lesson) and three days of whole class shared reading. This process follows the Mastery approach for whole class, using support for those who need it, with greater depth questions for those moving on. It follows 2 weeks on newspapers (using First News) and 4 weeks using Kensuke's Kingdom. There is a presentation for each day, using Activinspire (this can be downloaded for free by simply searching on Google, if you do not have it). Each presentation begins with an extract and a 'general' question to discuss and answer. Followed by support questions and then greater depth thinking. I have used this with my Y6 and the progress by all has been remarkable.
