This set of 3 maths mastery lessons were planned and taught (Lesson 1 as an observation lesson), for a Year 5 class. The content could easily be adapted to suit a Year 4 or Year 6 class.
My class loved the MINECRAFT theme and the use of charcoal, gold, redstone, diamonds, emeralds and gold linked perfectly to our weights unit.
Included are:
- Lesson 1,2,3 Detailed Lesson Plans
- Lesson 1,2,3 Powerpoints
- Lesson 1,2,3 - Fluency, Probing and Mastery Worksheets
- Measures conversion chart
Lesson 1 focuses on converting Kg and g
Lesson 2 focuses on rounding weights to the nearest kg, 1/2 kg, 100g and 10g
Lesson 3 focuses on converting metric and imperial units of weights measures
Each lesson includes an engaging MINECRAFT themed Powerpoint that logically works through Fluency, Probing and Maths Mastery challenges.
The accompanying worksheets follow the same theme and can be printed as multiple handout sheets to save printing.
I used filled small labelled bags of sand, gravel etc to represent redstone etc for the group practical weighing activity.
The observation went brilliantly with all the pupils really engaged and so any one lesson of this mini-series on weight would be great for an observation or interview lesson.
Set of TEN A3 sized School Pupil Character Positive Behaviour Posters
A FANTASTIC set of 10 school pupil character posters to be displayed around the school to support and encourage positive behaviour.
I introduced “Stella and Andrew” to the school and the children love relating to these characters. Stella and Andrew regularly appear in school assemblies reminding the children about positive behaviour choices.
So this set of 10 A3 posters can be displayed around the school and also be used digitally in classrooms and in assemblies.
The posters are based on Stella and Andrew characters in a BLUE school uniform. However, I have also provided Stella and Andrew pictures in a RED or a GREEN uniform. You could choose different character names for your school and on the resources document I have included a link to the website to do this easily.
The posters could be edited and adapted further to include more rules and positive behaviour choices as you wish.
This has made a HUGE POSITIVE impact on whole-school behaviour in our school!
