Comparing and ordering fractions is an essential part of developing number sense. In this lesson, students will first compare fractions using bar modelling, then they will be taught how to compare fractions by expressing them in the same denominator and they will also look at how expressing fractions in the same numerator can be useful also. This comprehensive resource clearly explains the methods in the engaging presentation and comes with activities to practise these methods. It finishes off with a range of problem solving activities to help consolidate the methods and apply the concept to real life.

In this lesson, students will work towards the objective: To identify the value of each digit in numbers given to three decimal places and multiply and divide numbers by 10, 100 and 1000 giving answers up to three decimal places. They will first revisit the place value of numbers with up to 3 decimal places, looking at the value of digits and missing place values in numbers. They will then look at multiplying and dividing decimals by 10,100 and 1000: they will experiment with a place value grid looking for patterns between the numbers when multiplied or divided. A number of questions on the board will allow them to practise this skill. Finally they will complete a worksheet which challenges them to recognise patterns, answer word problems and create their own calculations for a partner. An answer sheet is provided. This is an engaging lesson which comes with an interactive power point presentation and all corresponding activity worksheets. It is designed for Year 6 but could easily be modified to suit lower KS2 and KS3.

Similes are a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, used to make a description more emphatic or vivid (e.g. as brave as a lion ). This lesson focuses on using similes in Imagery/ Free Verse poetry. It comes with an engaging powerpoint presentation, lesson plan and activity sheets. Children first revisit imagery before looking at the language structure of similes. They listen to a poem which uses similes and discuss the effect of the similes used. They then work in pairs/ small groups to read a number of poems identifying the use of similes and how they are used. They then write their own similes for the pictures given. As a class then complete a modelled write, taking words and phrases from the children to create a stanza/verse of a poem based on the image. The children then write an additional stanza to the poem independently making use of similes for effect.
