Inspired by the Year 5 mastery document, Zippy Onion and his Spanish moustache return to help students solve reasoning place value problems. I have presented to identical sets on the same sheet for ease of photocopying.
Learning objective – to determine the value of each digit in numbers up to 1 million
Inspired by the Year 5 Mastery documents, these maths trails practice basic addition and subtraction skills. Calculations are presented within parenthesis to begin to expose students to algebraic layouts in Year 5.
Four differentiated trails:
High ability (numbers to 10,000),
Medium ability (numbers into 1000`s),
Lower ability (numbers in the 100`s)
SEN (numbers up to 100)
Start the year right with the back to school certificates. 30 different designs, in both A4 and A5 options, mean each student can receive a different certificate, with just one press of the ‘print’ button!
Designs are suitable for EYFS - KS2.
A Linear Calendar is the answer to improving numbers sense in your classroom in just a couple of minutes every day.
This resource has everything you need to set up the calendar and then use it year after year (my favourite thing to do!) I have included 33 different event cards, all dates, days of the week and months of year. I have included both a colour and a black and white version within this pack depending on your printing preference. Plus some helpful tips and discussion points to support you and your students in class.

Detailed planning for each day matching Learning Objectives from the current NC (2014).
5 easy to prep calculation games, which only need printing, a dice and some counters to get started. Great for embedding mental maths skills.
Learning Objectives covered:
(Yr. 1 Obj.) To add and subtract one-digit and two-digit numbers to 20.
(Y.r 2 Obj. ) Recall and use addition and subtraction facts to 20 fluently, and derive and use related facts up to 100.
(Yr. 2 Obj.) Recall and use multiplication and division facts for the 2, 5 and 10 multiplication tables.
Use these Maths style starters to keep the GPS skills simmering in your class.
Contains 10 activities to practice and perfect when to use a or an .
L.O. from the 2015 NC - Use of the forms a or an according to whether the next word begins with a consonant or a vowel.
A bundle of 10 talk time activities inspired by NCETM Maths Mastery and Reasoning documents. Perfect for lesson starters to encouraging discussion and reasoning between students AND as a cheeky bonus, using them means you always have written evidence of students reasoning skills! Set out in easy to photocopy format, 4 to a page.
Learning Objectives included:
LO: Identify horizontal and vertical lines and pairs of perpendicular and parallel lines.
LO: Identify whether angles are greater than or less than a right angle.
LO: Identify right angles, recognise that two right angles make a half-turn, three make three quarters of a turn and four a complete turn.
16 activities to help your class count on in tenths, and recognize and use fractions on a number-line.
This includes 15 exercises investigating fractions on a number-line, including some concept cartoons to encourage student reasoning. Plus an additional snap/matching game, matching fractions to number-lines to diagrams.
A differentiated activity using Cuisenaire rods to help students visualize fractions of a whole. A great resource for stimulating discussion about fractions.
Learning Objective covered:

LO – To be able to recognise the place value of each digit in a 3-digit number (hundreds, tens, and ones) (Place Value Reasoning- Yr. 3 LO)
Struggling with bar modelling and finding multiplication and division tasks which do more than test you students calculation skills?
These activities encourage lots of talk, lots of reasoning and provide examples of your students fluency with calculation skills. They are also an excellent way for students to show their understanding of Concrete, Abstract and Pictorial representations of the process of division and multiplication.
A bundle of 11 Place Value activities inspired by NCETM Maths Mastery and Reasoning documents (includes negative numbers).
