A mini-assessment for children based on a number of fraction topics. The idea of this assessment is to give them it before they begin a unit on fractions and then after again with improvement being shown in their knowledge and understanding. Questions towards the end also include elements of reasoning to show a deeper understanding.
N.B: Written with Year 6 in mind.
Answers are included on a separate page.
Attached is a version of a potential calculation policy that people can use for ideas to help in developing their own. Each year group is broken down in to the 4 operations, identifying mental and written methods and linking to other strands in the curriculum.
Written methods are kept to a minimum to ensure children become 'experts' in that method and to ensure consistency throughout teaching.
This is a helpful presentation looking at how to use the Singapore Bar Model. Singapore Bar is growing in popularity in this country due to the success of Singapore in the PISA tables for Maths, with the methods shown helping children break down problems in a much simpler way. This presentation goes through different models of the bar and how to apply it to a range of problems with step by step details for each problem. It can be used to help individuals become more confident with the methods and applying them or could also be used to help begin to lead staff training on the method.
A Maths game that works on revising some key vocabulary such as prime numbers, multiples and using the greater than and less than symbol as well as opening up varied discussion about why particular numbers fit where they do or why they should be used elsewhere. Everything needed to play this is attached including an explanation of the rules. Perfect for a starter, plenary or just for a 5-10 minute break where they can practise some reasoning activities.
A set of three differentiated worksheets on different Maths concepts for Year 6 children.
