4 Operations Instruction Booklet
Do your pupils forget their written methods almost as soon as you’ve taught them?
I created this booklet to overcome this yearly obstacle - one booklet with all written methods explained in step-by-step instructions. Each pupil in my class keeps a copy in their maths books (like a bookmark) and refers back to it if they forget their methods.
For each step, there is a short, clear explanation of what to do (and why.)
**
Great for:**
+revision
+daily use
+learning aid for LAPs / forgetful pupils
+teaching aid when first teaching a method

20 Lessons: Maths in Context
Why I made this resource
Every maths lesson you teach, you give a clear learning outcome (or TBAT or WALT or Success Criteria - whatever it’s called in each school.) Your class follow your carefully planned steps, and succeed. However, in my experience, children then struggle when faced with:
-multi-step problems
-multi-operation problems
-questions without a clear method to use
-changes in maths skill required (E.g. suddenly needing to write an answer as a fraction)
How to Use
These lessons are designed to have limiting teaching beforehand, if at all. Instead, children tackle the real-life situation using a broad range of skills (money, decimals, written methods, mental strategies, converting between fractions and % etc) and get used to:
-thinking independently
-being less reliant on adults (“learned helplessness”)
-using a blend of skills at once
What’s included?
-20 real-life contexts (whole lessons) which each include:
>printable data pages (price lists, menus, information pages, league tables, timetables, fact files, recipes)
>15 differentiated questions (Band A = easiest, Band E = hardest. Harder Qs can be trimmed off the page, depending on your maths groups)
>Answer sheet
New Year Set Up Kit (Perfect for NQTs)
This set is designed to make life easier at the start of a new school year. All items in this bundle have been used by myself in class over a number of years.
Please note: Most resources are in ‘Arial’ font, as this is recommended for children with Dyslexia. However, all documents are fully editable
What’s included?
-blank weekly timetable
-visual timetable (recommended for children on the Autistic spectrum, and those with anxiety)
-3 variations of reading group timetables
-4 variations of reading group lists
-3 variations of spelling group lists
-my own master list of 10-spelling sets for the whole year, taken from NC Y5/6 word list
-Class contract (PowerPoint lesson and editable poster)
-Volume-meter (beahviour management)
-Table-top Traffic Lights (replaces the ‘hands up’ approach when a child needs help)
-Classroom Jobs poster

-Reading at Home record sheet

200 Words or Fewer: Story Coordinates
A fantastic resource that specifically develops:
-creativity
-writing speed
-enjoying writing
-enjoying stories
-just writing, rather than overthinking / worrying about grammar, vocab choice etc
Recommended for:
-reluctant writers (My Y5/Y6 boys love doing 200 Words each week)
-slow writers
-‘can’t get started’ writers
-children who don’t read very much at home / have limited experience of stories
How does it work?
There are 4 Story Coordinate cards in each set: Character, Situation, Object and Place. Pupils randomly choose a coordinate from each card, giving you four very random story elements (E.g. a mysterious shadow, a hilarious accident, a tiny sword, behind a waterfall.)
Set a time limit (my Y5/6 like to be given 10 minutes for this.) Within that time limit, pupils write a short story (or a part of a story) which includes as many of the 4 items as possible.
It is important to stress to your pupils that, unlike writing lessons, this task is not about using amazing vocabulary/ broad range of punctuation / your neatest handwriting; it is about being creative, letting go and having fun.
What’s incuded?
-Notebook document (with an example-page to get you started)
-4 x Character cards
-4 x Situation cards
-4 x Object cards
-4 x Place cards
