This resource features a comprehensive flipchart with mental starters and main lesson activities. Lesson objectives are conveniently organized in a skills grid. Worksheets are included for lessons 3 and 5, while adaptable resources from TES can be used for other lessons.
Bonus: A PowerPoint version is now available for those who don’t use Active Inspire!
The first Flipchart was uploaded 2016, the additional files were added 8 years later! in 2024.
In this lesson, students dive into factors and multiples – combining theoretical understanding with practical application. Students will tackle factor trees to gain a strong foundation and apply their understanding. They’ll also get creative by designing a shape pattern game to encourage inventive problem-solving.
This resource is differentiated for LA to divide by 10, MA to divide by 10,100 and HA to divide and multiply by 10 and 100. I have also added a whole weeks flipcharts for teaching decimals.
This PowerPoint presentation is about fractions, designed to help students understand the concept with visual examples. It uses clear, engaging visuals such as divided shapes (circles, rectangles, and bars) to demonstrate how fractions represent parts of a whole. Each slide will show a fraction in different forms, like 1/2, 1/4, 3/4, and more, with illustrations that make it easy to see how the whole is divided into equal parts. This visual approach helps students better understand the relationship between the numerator (the number of parts) and the denominator (the total number of equal parts), making fractions more concrete and easier to grasp. Ideal for visual learners, this presentation provides a fun and interactive way to explore and master
In Week 1, pupils will explore 2D and 3D shapes, focusing on identifying, naming, and describing their properties. Activities will include recognising common 2D shapes such as squares, rectangles, triangles, and circles, and understanding 3D shapes like cubes, cuboids, spheres, and cylinders.
Because i taught this unit after addition and subtraction in term two i’ve named it Week 5, but it’s first week of teaching shape in Year 2.
Pupils will also learn to describe shapes using mathematical vocabulary, such as “sides,” “vertices,” “edges,” and “faces,” and begin to sort shapes based on their properties. Practical tasks, including hands-on exploration with shape manipulatives and sorting activities, will build their understanding. Lessons align with the White Rose Maths Scheme, ensuring structured progression and a strong foundation for geometry skills. Adaptive resources are included to support all learners.
