A pack of 10 concept cartoons to promote reasoning on geometry topics, which can be used to provoke thinking, highlight common misconceptions, assess understanding or to promote mathematical discussion.
This pack can be used as a whole class discussion piece, or individually with students recording their reasoning in their maths journals or books (Each example is repeated in an easy to photocopy, 4 to a page format, for individual student work).
Learning Objectives covered in this pack:
• Identify horizontal and vertical lines and pairs of perpendicular and parallel lines.
• Recognise 3-D shapes in different orientations and describe them.
• Identify right angles, recognise that two right angles make a half-turn, three make three quarters of a turn and four a complete turn.
• Identify whether angles are greater than or less than a right angle.
• Describe the properties of 2-D and 3-D shapes using accurate language, including lengths of lines and acute and obtuse for angles greater or lesser than a right angle. (Non- statutory guidance)
• Identify lines of symmetry in 2-D shapes presented in different orientations (Yr. 4 LO)
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:

Learning objectives from 2014 English National Curriculum covered include:
Understand how writers use figurative and expressive language to create images and atmosphere.
Be able to locate key information for a purpose

This activity combined our History topic of Romans, with our Maths focus of measurement, plus a little bit of shapes and fractions thrown as an assessment of the previous units taught.
Students receive a letter from Emperor Hadrian, with the command to rebuild sections of Hadrian`s Wall. They then worked in differientiated groups for calculate the correct measurements for the wall. Once the correct measurements had been calculated they then used their knowledge of 3-D shapes to build the wall. I have included the activity and instructions in pdf and word format for editing.
My class loved it, but I have to be honest - it took them all morning!
Learning Objectives covered:
Geometry: Property of Shapes:
• Draw 2-D shapes and make 3-D shapes using modelling materials.
Measurement:
• Measure, compare, and add lengths (m/cm/mm)
• Continue to measure using the appropriate tools and units, progressing to using a wider range of measures, including comparing and using mixed units and simple equivalents of mixed units (for example, 5m = 500cm).
Fractions:
• Recognise, find and write fractions of a discrete set of objects.
• Recognise that tenths arise from dividing an object into 10 equal parts and in dividing one-digit numbers or quantities by 10

A thinking skills activity to encourage students to consider why the Romans were such successful invaders.
All discussion points are true, students need to order them in a diamond ranking, there are no wrong answers so all students can safely enjoy discussing their ideas, without fear of failure.
As a further challenge I asked students to design one more battle tactic to add to the Roman arsenal.
Learning Objective is from the new 2014 Curriculum.
Two activities for students to practice representations of tenths as fractions, pictures, decimals and in words.
Covers LO:
LO: Recognise that tenths arise from dividing an object into 10 equal parts
I collected these prompts as a way to promote class discussion around e-safety. After discussion students debated the safest thing to do in each situation, and recorded their ideas, which then went into an interactive display.
