Full lesson on introducing equivalent fractions to year 3. This is a hands on lesson- children will spend the full lesson exploring fractions through cuisenaire rods. I carried this lesson out with the children working in small groups. I blew the included recording sheet up to A3. There is a box for them to physically place their cuisenaire rods down and record the fractions that they represent. There are more boxes for children to record equivalent fractions. I then took a photograph of the completed sheet as evidence for children’s books (there is space for names on the sheet to make this easier!). Included is a power point (with learning objective, lots of mathematical questions and plenary), recording sheet and a fraction wall display poster (I blew this up to A3 for my working wall and reduced it to A5 for each child to stick into the back of their maths books for future reference).

Everything that is needed to create a maths working wall display in a year two classroom with the focus of place value. These resources have been designed to be interactive and to fully support the teaching of WRM (White Rose Maths) Year 2, Autumn block 1. The files contain a bunting header plus lots of other subheadings and interactive questions. Also included are templates such as tens frames, place value charts, part-whole models as well as pictorial representations of concrete resouces such as base 10, place value counters etc. There are other decorative bits and pieces such as speech bubbles and arrows and frames to be laminated and written on by adults and children.

Everything that is needed to create an English working wall display in a year two classroom. All these resources have been created with a natural theme to make them bold and easy to see. Files Include: Main title bunting Sub-titles to arrange the display in different sections conjunctions a wide range of synonyms for commonly over used words Punctuation posters sentence starters year 1 common exception words year two common exception words Different writing types

A bright display to make your classroom clock look brighter whilst turning it into a resource for telling the time. The following petal cards are included, so that you can edit your clock to best suit your class: Analouge words didgital minutes 24 hours Roman numerals Also included is a set of ‘times of the day’ cards and arrows to point out these times on the clock.

A big set of 11 punctuation display posters Perfect for your English working wall Natural, leaf pattern borders

A power point that contains 40 sets of maths arithmetic challenges. I will be using these as morning work with my year 6 class to provide extra opportunity to practise using the four operations. The questions alternate between straight forward calculations and find the missing digits questions. They are differentiated A-C. A questions do not involve exchanging or carrying and so are ideal for LA or MA/HA to complete mentally. B involves exchanging and carrying and C involved decimals up to three decimal places. Each day has two slides- the questions and then the answers and so are easy for children to self-assess. The title slide says morning work, autumn 1 as this is when I will be using them but this could easily be changed if needed. I aim to create further sets for the rest of the year, as I do I will upload them to TES.

Diary entry WAGOLL. Diary entry about watching fireworks from the point of view of a child who is scared of the dark and fireworks. At the right hand side, there is a section showing what features to find and a box for each feature to allow children to create a colour coded key. This is differentiated three ways- children must look for increasingly complex features. Fully editable so you can add/remove features to suit your class.

Bundle of resources for KS2 non-chronological report writing. I used these resources to write non-chronological reprots on volcanoes, but I have kept the resources generic so you could use them to write reports on any subject. (The WAGOLL is about snakes.) The following is included: PowerPoint presentation that goes through the entire unit of work from introducing what non-chronological reports are, throught looking at features, planning and writing the reports. WAGOLL , three are included, one is a basic WAGOLL and the other two have features to spot with boxes for colour coding, these are differentiated for higher and lower abilities.on different sections of this and used it for peer-assessment. One of the slides on the PowerPoint has a cmpleted WAGOLL features slide. I zoomed in Working wall poster for writing in first/second/third person. Worksheet to practise writing in third person (I used this as homework). Non-chronological report planning sheet which follows the format of the WAGOLL. Non-chronological report write up sheet.

A big set of 40 arithmetic starters with answers for self or peer assessment. Perfect as maths starters or morning work. 3 difficulty levels: The first for children below expected or for expected/greater depth children to practise instant recall of number facts. These questions deal with numbers to 30 and 2 x table only. The second looks at 10x table and addition and subtraction where carrying and exchanging is not needed. The third looks at 5 x table and addition and subtraction where carrying and exchanging is needed.

Letters (upper and lower case) and numbers (0-9) on triangular display bunting with a Eucalyptus theme.

LO: To be able to identify the different parts of a flowering plant and discuss their roles in plant reproduction. Used with year 5 and 6 to look at the different parts of a flower and their role in sexual reproduction. HA sheet requires pupils to fill in name and function. LA sheet requires children to fill in function only.

Everything that is needed to create a maths working wall display in a year two classroom with the focus of addition and subtraction. These resources have been designed to be interactive and to fully support the teaching of WRM (White Rose Maths) Year 2, addition and subtraction unit.

Here is another set (see my other resources for more!) of numeracy starters, ideal for use with UKS2. (EDITED- there had been some mistakes, these have now been checked and are all correct!) Each set has 4 questions- one for each of the four operations. The three sets increase in difficulty. UKS2 children should be able to quickly do the easiest set mentally, the hardest set includes decimals. I use these on a morning while taking the register- challenge the children to complete them all in 10 minutes, then I put the answers on the board and they self assess them. This is great speed practice in the run up to SATs. Would also work very well as a quick starter in maths lessons.

A bundle of posters to hep children understand how to solve missing number problems. These posters will help children to identify the which number is the whole and which is the part in a number sentence. They will help children to correctly decide if they need to add or subtract to find the missing number and to understand why. They will help them to understand when they should and shouldn’t use the inverse operation.

Letters (upper and lower case) and numbers (0-9) on triangular display bunting with a blue spotty theme.

Huge bundle of resources to cover all year 2 plants science national curriculum objectives and also some year 1 objectives and some mathematics (data handling) objectives to promote cross curricular learning. 8 differentiated lessons Lessons included: planting a seed (sunflower), finding out how to care for it and measuring it over time. Investigation over time: What does a plant need to grow. Looks a planting a bean seed and keeping it in different conditions to monitor it’s growth. Lifecycle of a plant (using the control from the bean seed experiment to allow children to explore this themselves) Dissection of a plant to look at the different parts and their jobs. Carnation experient to explore the movement of water in plants. (Using food colouring in the water to colourthe petals- make sure you use plenty of food colouring for it to work!!) Plant and tree hunt, record using tally marks and present findings in a block diagram (links to data in maths) Create a mini rainforest terrarium in a bottle. Full instructions and resource list included. Analyse sunflower growth, show results in a pictogram. Extra questions for HA children to answer once they have created their pictogram (links to data in maths). The corresponding notebook slides are easy to follow with lots of questions to encourage scientific thinking. There is differentiation for HA/MA/EAL or NTE

Here is a presentation and resources for two science lessons on light and shadows. The first experiment is to find out what happens when multiple lights are shone on an object. The sceond experiment is to find out what happens when different coloured lights are shone on an object. I carried this out with my year 6 class, I have a high number of EAL and New to English children and so there is resoures to support their learning included. Each test has a scaffolded write up for NTE children. My HA children were expected to write it up independently, including the same sections as the NTE children. The MA chidren were able to look at the NTE write up sheet as a starting point to supprot them in their independant write up. Also included is a NTE word mat with pictures and a scientific vocab mat that is relevant to this science topic. The last slide on the powerpoint has lots of extension questions to do with this topic. These could be used in many ways for example; as an extension for the HA children or a class choice on what to explore next.

Fun maths cafe activity for year 2. A good consolidation activity for the end of a unit on measurement with money. Covers finding the total of different items, finding out how much change would be given and two step problems. I used this at the end of the White Rose Maths Autumn Block 3 unit on money. HA questions are word problems, children have to read and understand the questions and decide what operation to use independently. MA questions have bar models to support children’s calculations. These bar models have parts filled in to begin with but gradually, less is filled in to encourage independence. Some two step problems also included to provide an extra challenge.

A power point that contains 40 sets of maths arithmetic challenges. I used these as morning work with my year 6 class to provide extra opportunity to practise using the four operations. The questions alternate between straight forward calculations, finding the missing digits questions and multiply and dividing by 10, 100 and 1,000. They are differentiated A-C. A questions do not involve exchanging or carrying and so are ideal for LA or MA/HA to complete mentally. B involves exchanging and carrying and C involved decimals up to three decimal places. Each day has two slides- the questions and then the answers and so are easy for children to self-assess. The title slide says morning work, autumn 2 as this is when I used them but this could easily be changed if needed. I have more sets available.

Set of 50 arithmetic starters with answers suitable for lower key stage two A variety of quick activities to practise the four operations at the start of maths lessons or as morning work. The difficulty of the starters vary meaning that different slides can be selected to suit the needs of your specific class. This set of starters has more addition and subtraction questions (see my other sets for more division and multiplication).
