Model the way to answer the question referring to work of a few weeks ago on perimeters. How many different sized pig pens can be made using only 12 fencing panels? Discuss how the children think they could solve this problem. The Problem. We want to make a school garden and grow vegetables. At night time the rabbits and deer will come and eat them. To stop them we need to put a fence around the area. However we can only afford to buy 26, one metre long panels. Find the largest area we can fence off to make a rectangular vegetable patch? Remember it can only have a perimeter of 26 metres. Vocabulary. add subtract multiply dividedouble half equals rectangle square area perimeter cm2 Resources:- multi-link. L/A rulers. Squared paper.

36 page pdf. Maths for each of 13 weeks. sample : LO: To reflect shapes across a horizontal or vertical mirror line. KEY QUESTION: DO I NEED TO USE A MIRROR TO REFLECT A 2D SHAPE? Review the term reflection with the children. How would the children reflect a simple shape like a square across a mirror line? Show the children a more complex shape. How would the children go about reflecting this shape? Explore the use of a mirror using a large version of a shape on the working wall. If you hadn’t got access to a mirror, how would you go reflect the shape? Focus on process of identifying vertices within shapes, counting to the mirror line. DS: Supports Triangles during teaching. AG: Supports Squares during teaching. LO: To draw and reflect a shape across a 45 degree mirror line. Show the children a shape and have them model how to reflect across a vertical and horizontal mirror line. Show them a mirror line that is set at 45 degrees. Discuss possible strategies for carrying out the task of reflecting across the mirror line. Make sure the children stay on the grid lines and follow to the mirror line, then away from the mirror line to make a right angle. MW: target high Focus Children within teaching. Check during lesson. LO: To reflect a shape that crossing a 45˚ mirror line. KEY QUESTION: HOW CAN I REFLECT A SHAPE THAT CROSSES THE MIRROR LINE? Address misconceptions from previous lesson. Give the children an enlarged version of a triangle that crosses a diagonal mirror line. As a class, identify way in which the shape can be reflected across the mirror line. Take each point and reflect across a perpendicular set of gridlines. Model the use of start and end points. Whatever is in the upper part of the mirror line needs to be in the lower, vice versa. DS: Supports triangles during lesson. AG: Supports Circles during lesson.

A nice little unit on financial planning. Some calculations required for better financial knowledge. Introduce ‘My Money’ week to children. Explain that we are going to spend all week discussing money, using mathematical operations, setting a budget and thinking about how we will deal with money in the future. Activity One Come back together and allow groups to share mind maps. Lead into a discussion on what money is; use online dictionary to look for definition. Come to the conclusion that it is a medium of exchange; we exchange money for goods or services. Make a list on the IWB of things which people use money for. Separate the list by highlighting things which people need and things that they want. TTYP – what is the ‘currency’ of the UK? Explain that it is called sterling and it is split into pounds and pence. Use PPT to check that children recognise all notes and coins of sterling. Activity One Children work in groups to mind map ‘money’. Each group to have three colours –create a key to show things they know, things they think they know and questions they have. If I gave you £1000 right now, what would spend it on? What might you wish you had spent it on in the future? Can the children name any currencies of other countries? (Euro, US dollar, Aus dollar, Yuan China, Rupee India etc)

I can express verbally what a character may be feeling, thinking or doing I can explain why I think a character may feel, think or do something I can describe a setting using figurative language Starter 5 mins Pen portrait of key characters in 23 Degrees 5 Minutes North: Children mind map/annotate information about the key characters that they know so far around an image of The Adventurer and Professor Erit. They add information about the internal feelings, thoughts and emotions within and the external information such as physical description, or known facts Activity 1 5-10 mins Use key questions and discussion in groups to think about answers to questions such as: When is this story set? Who am I? Where am I? Why am I here? Will I be able to find Professor Erit? How will I find him? Emphasise the importance of chn giving evidence to support their opinion when they give a response to these questions. Activity 10 mins Return to image of the Adventurer and Professor Erit. Using a different coloured pencil, chn should add information about these characters Main 20 mins Give chn an image of the setting and ask them to mind-map descriptive words, phrases or sentences they could use to describe the narrative setting. Model using the different kinds of sentence-types to record a setting description, using the vocabulary recorder in the mind-map. Chn use sentences to build suspense if they can.

Weekly plans for the dreaded back to school Autumn term. Cut and paste and adapt for your own personal use. I hated those Sundays ruined by planning. example Today we are learning about decimals to two decimal places. First ask what are decimals? Establish that decimals show us part of the number that is not a whole. Display a number line with 0-1 with 9 unlabelled divisions. In between 0 and 1 we have intervals that represent tenths (not tens). Decimals are like fractions the number line is divided into ten parts so each one is one tenth. Tenths are decimals to one place as there is only one digit after the decimal point. Give children magnified glass and ruler using the ruler ask children to look at the tenths in-between each cm. When we write tenths as a decimals we write 0.1, 0.2… allow children to continue this asking them to stop when they get to the next whole number. What is the decimal point for? To separate the whole from its decimals. In between the tenths there are hundredths (not hundreds) display 0.4 to 0.5 with unmarked intervals in between. Ask can anyone tell me what these intervals will be labelled? 0.41, 0.42… Establish that 3.7 is bigger then 3.56. Ask why might I think 3.56 is bigger? Why is 3.7 bigger? When do we use decimals in real life? Place objects on a each table for the group to feel. Which one is heavier? Lighter? Get children to order them in order of weight. Give each table some scales, ask them to see if they were right and also to write the weights that they can read and make a note of them. Select some children to attempt to read the weights. Who has ever cooked or baked? What units of measurement would you use? What units of measurements have we used here to way our objects? How many grams are there in a kilogram? Give children some examples and ask them to convert the weights. Model how to use scales weigh different objects ask class to read the scale. Read scales and convert from grams to kilograms and vice-versa. L/A TA support To weigh objects and read on a scale. EXT: Order objects in order of weight using estimation skills
