Year 6 Magic at Maths - Mastery Activities. Over 50 different questions and activities to help you assess whether a child has mastered the Year 6 National Curriculum. Perfect for plenaries and extension activities. The new National Curriculum is all about studying concepts in greater depth and applying knowledge and understanding to different areas of mathematics. The term 'mastery' is one that is being discussed widely in the educational word currently and this includes gaining a general agreed consensus of what it means to 'master' the curriculum. At the PTRC we have used the NAHT KPIs to come up with a variety of activities to help you assess whether children in your class have mastered the curriculum. Many of the activities require the children to explain their reasoning as well as apply their knowledge and skills across a range of topic areas. Included in this PowerPoint is 16 slides covering 17 of the key Year 6 learning objectives from the new National Curriculum (see pictures for example slides). The objectives are detailed in the notes section of each PowerPoint slide for easy reference. There is also a slide introducing the pack, providing you with what we believe mastery to be and giving you some ideas of how to use the PowerPoint slides. The pack is aimed at children in years 6 but can be used with other pupils throughout the Primary phase. These activities are provided in PowerPoint format so they can be displayed on a whiteboard or printed out.

Our Maths Investigation pack contains sixty maths statements to be investigated and is great for the 'using and applying' area of maths and reasoning which is so important to the new National Curriculum For each statement the children need to explain whether the statement is: Always true Sometimes true Never true The statements vary in difficulty meaning that everyone in the class can participate. You may want, for example, to have different groups of children working on different investigations. Statements to be investigated include: Digits in the 9x table add to 9. Add any four even numbers. Now divide the total by 4. There is no remainder. On each A4 sheet there are two maths statements and the pack also includes an A4 instruction page with possible extension activities.

Our 'Terrific at Tables' activity pack provides children with weekly times table practice. This pack comes with 12 weeks of activities with a different multiplication times table focused on each week from 2x to 12x. The final week will include a mixture of all the times tables covered. Each week there are three activities to help the children learn the focused times table. These include: An empty times table grid for the children to complete. A spider diagram activity where the children have to record related facts. A speed test which includes a range of multiplication tests and associated division facts. This resource is perfect for regular practise of times tables and can be completed at various times throughout the week. Over time the children will become multiplication experts allowing them to apply skills to other areas of maths and therefore gaining in confidence in a range of mathematical areas. These activities are aimed at children in lower KS2 but can be used across the key stage. The activities are best to be completed in books or on paper. These activities are provided in both PDF and PowerPoint format so they can be displayed on a whiteboard or printed out. Each page is decorated with a playful Clipart image thanks to our license with Clipart.com

A perfect display resource for any KS2 Classroom. These posters can be stuck to the window, hung across the centre of the room or used to create a display. This pack includes 10 A4 posters in total. 8 of the posters give the children a step by step guide to solving a word problem. There is also a title poster included as well as a poster which provides children with strategies if they are stuck.

A great mental maths resource which is perfect for the beginning of the lesson. However what makes these loop cards different to other packs is that they are differentiated, meaning that all the children in the group/class can be challenged or participate in the activity. This pack of loop cards are differentiated three ways and are indicated by a traffic light. Red light - designed for the more able children in the class/group Yellow light - designed for the middle group in the class Green light - designed for the less able children in the class/group Once the class or group have completed the loop card activity once, why not time them to see if they can complete the 'loop' in a faster time. Each child could keep the same card or they can be rotated between groups. TOP TIP - After printing, why not laminate so that you have a resource which can be used over and over again? Included in this set are 32 loop cards which include multiplication questions from 2x to 12x tables. There are 4 loop cards on each A4 sheet, making them easy to keep and store.
