I currently work at the top end of Primary school in Year 5/6. I create resources for a range of subjects and am always open to suggestions for resources people require.

A display poster for the order of operations (BIDMAS) that shows the order operations should be completed in as well as giving a little information for each such as what to do if number sentences are just multiplication and divisions.
An activity made for the start of the new school year.
This activity is made to get children to think about rules that they think are important as classroom rules. There are 15 different rules that children will need to cut out. In groups, get children to pick the five rules they think are most important, getting them to justify why they think they are the five most important.
This can then lead in to a classroom discussion looking at each groups selection and getting them to discuss why they picked them.
These can also be used to then create the class rules for the year if their is a clear set of favourite rules or by voting on each one.
A powerpoint that can be used for teaching different aspects of speech. It includes examples as well as activities to check children's understanding.

Place Value
Rounding
Negative Numbers
Roman Numerals
Powers of 10
Inverse operations

Worksheets are differentiated three ways with a mastery aim running throughout. Having used a similar format in my own lessons, these sheets often provide enough challenge for two days lessons, with children taking on the easier work then moving on to harder challenges within the other sheets.
These have all been made with mastery in mind and so follow this pattern.
Worksheet One - Works on practise and fluency (LA)
Worksheet Two - Practise, fluency and reasoning (MA)
Worksheet Three - Practise, fluency, reasoning and problem solving (HA)
Worksheet Four - Same as worksheet three as a spare for anybody who finishes problem solving
Answers are included for each sheet.

Perfect for back to school - Use these as a fun activity to get to know the children in your class. Each question gets children thinking and can require them to justify their decision. Questions can include set criteria e.g. cleaning the toilet with your toothbrush and then having to use it.
Some are simply silly, fun questions whilst some will offer deep insight into the nature of individuals.
Simply print them out, and either laminate them or cut them out and stick them on card. 116 question cards included.
Whilst they can be used at the start of the year as a fun way to get to know individuals, they can also be used throughout the year. Have a day a week where one is used, getting children to do a straw poll with hands up and then discussing or getting children to write on a whiteboard and a reason why. They could also record them in a notebook to show their thinking.
These can also be taken further by getting children to think of their own, getting them to think about questioning and ensuring that the two topics are related to one another and have a similar level of reward/ punishment with these then becoming discussion points.
