This is a lesson I made for my interview at a Primary school. The lesson was aimed at year 5 but would work for higher ability year 4 and upwards. This resource could also be adapted for a number of different year groups across KS2. The lesson begins by using maths reasoning skills to answer a series of sometimes, always, never questions as a starter (answers on whiteboards). It then transitions into teaching how to complete number pyramids using addition and subtraction and has a chili challenge to differentiate for all abilities (this went particularly well). For those who complete the work quickly or want an extra challenge, there is a super spicy pyramid for higher ability students that includes decimals. Resource sheets and answer sheets are included, students to self mark.

A lesson on identifying the place value of numbers in hundreds, tens and units. Created for Entry Level 3 students studying on Ascentis, this lesson and sequence of work on whole number skills would also be suitable for KS2/early KS3 students. Learning Outcomes: Students can identify the value of a digit based on its place in a number. Students can apply place value understanding to solve problems. PPTX content: Starter Activity (number sequences) Terminology explanation including pictorial representations Interactive place value recognition activity (whiteboards required - teachers guidance given) Introduction to the main task (includes teacher guidance) Worksheet included in bundle or sold separately (third sheet intentionally blank as a stretch and challenge - students create their own tables)
