Part of Counting in 2’s, 5’s, and 10’s series.
Success Criteria:
Competent:
I can group concrete objects into fives, and say how many groups of fives there are.
Accomplished:
I can find the total by counting in fives.
Exceptional:
I can use my reasoning skills to solve problems involving multiples of fives.
Part 1 - 32 slides

2 lessons, on using the “peanut” method for adding and subtracting fractions. Includes step by step guide, worked examples and practice questions and plenary.
Objectives:
Add & Subtract fractions with common denominators.
Add & Subtract fractions with different denominators.
2-3 lessons, includes step by step guide, worked examples and practice questions.
Objectives:
To be able to solve problems involving compound measures including:
Speed, Distance and Time.
Density, Volume and Mass.
Pressure, Force and Area.
Population Density, Population and Area.
Lesson objective:
To be able to find the area of triangles.
The lesson uses students pre-existing knowledge of areas of rectangles and parallelograms to workout how to find areas of triangles. Through a series of worked examples, students should realise that some triangles are either half a rectangle, or half a parallelogram, and hence gain a better understanding of how the formula for the area of a triangle works.
Includes; worked examples, practise questions, and a plenary.
This interactive version allows for congruent triangles to be be together to make quadrilaterals.
Lesson Objectives:
To be able to use a multiplier to find equivalent fractions.
To be able to simplify fractions using a multiplier/divisor.
Starter: Class activity where students write as many possible equivalent fractions on mini-whiteboards to common fractions.
Progression: Using multipliers to find equivalent fractions.
Plenary: Fraction Bingo Game to embed and assess student learning in a fun way.
2-3 lessons, includes step by step guide, worked examples, practice questions and worksheets.
Objectives:
Recognise types of angles
Estimate, Measure and Draw Angles.
Students learn about acute, obtuse, reflex, right angles and straight lines.
There is an estimating angles game activity, and on this interactive version students can be shown how to correctly measure an angle, and then use the protractor themselves on the whiteboard so they can then measure and draw angles accurately.

Lesson objectives:
Students to be able to identify and represent numbers using objects and pictorial representations.
Includes; numbers lines, groups of objects, abacus using tens and ones, Cuisenaire rods, Numicon, words and figures. The lesson allows students to compare sets of objects and differently represented numbers using the language of ‘equal to’, ‘more than’, ‘less than’, ‘fewer’, ‘most’, ‘least’. (1N4)
2 lessons, includes a recap on calculating probability, step by step guide, worked examples and practice questions.
Objectives:

2 lessons:
Lesson objectives to solve equations with unknowns on both sides, including equations with brackets.
Includes; step by step guide, worked examples and practice questions.
The big idea is to rewrite both sides of the equation to eliminate like terms. Hence the phrase “Same Value, Looks Different”. It uses money to show that you can can have the same value, but in different ways. Hence, you can rewrite any equation in any way as long as you do not change the value.
