I provide resources I have used myself. They are mainly aimed at UPKS2 as I am based in Year 5, however many can be easily updated to suit the needs of a vast range of children.

This is an entire lesson on ordering fractions. It has been differentiated three ways and includes the answers. Also included is a notebook file with step by step instructions on how to order fractions - very visual for the children.
Higher ability: Ordering four fractions including some mixed fractions.
Middle ability: Ordering four fractions.
Lower ability: Ordering three fractions.
All worksheets include a deeper thinking/greater depth style challenge question.
All answers included.
This is a fantastic complete lesson pack which allows children to actively engage in Maths.
**Included in the pack: **
White board resource
Teachers instructions & answers
Posters to put around the room
Three differentiated question sheets.
The children move around the room (or outside space) to answer differentiated (higher, middle and lower) maths questions. Once they have found the answer, they will jot down the accompanying letter. Theses letters, when unscrambled, will make a Christmas themed phrase.
**Subjects covered: **
Halving and doubling.
Number Sequences.
Mental addition and subtraction.
Rounding.
Multiplication and division.
Fractions.
Decimals.
Activity Instructions
Place the posters around the room (or playground) and give children a question sheet each (or in pairs/groups).
The children will answer the differentiated questions. Once they have found the answer, they will look around the room for the poster displaying that number and note down the corresponding letter.
(Note: Remind children that some letters may appear twice.)
Children must answer all of the questions and collect a total of 13 letters (some letters are red herrings!).
These letters must then be unscrambled to find a hidden Christmas message.
This is an activity pack including 6 sheets of questions, answers, IWB file, self-assessment tool and planning. I have had very positive feedback using this lesson in observations. Everything you need is ready to go.
Children will work in mixed ability pairs to answer questions on the following topics:
multiplication
division
addition
subtraction
rounding to the nearest ten
rounding to the nearest hundred
word problems.
Each time the children answer a question, they will select the matching answer at the bottom of the page and record the word shown. Once they have collected all of the words, they will see a hidden message. This is a clue to help them eliminate different suspects until only one remains - this person is therefore the murderer of Sleep Bear!
It can easily be adapted to make it easier/harder by altering the questions and answers at the bottom of the page.
A really fun, engaging lesson which works well as a standalone lesson for more able children or can be broken up into several lessons for those needing more time. All children will be fully engaged in learning, whilst also developing their vocabulary and explanation skills when helping their peers.
