1000 questions Answers provided. Pupils have to read the instructions, work out the sum, then write it in. Great for pupils who can multiply but get confused by the word element.

This concentrates on Maths and English. Lots of great teaching ideas. Mainly Maths and English. The zip file has the lot. I have put some in the general download to give a flavour. sample planning : LO: To use written methods of addition. Review written methods of addition carried from Friday’s lesson (column, number line and partitioning. Use numbers with up to 4 digits during teaching time. Review how to use written methods and inverse knowledge to identify missing digits within calculations. Move on to solving simple word problems by choosing the most appropriate methods for task. AG: Supports Circles during teaching time. RM: Abacus Y1 page LO: To use written methods of subtraction. Give the children the following calculation 98 – 47. How many different ways can they carry out this calculation? Focus on methodology used by class. As a class ensure understanding of the following methods, number line, partitioning and column. What happens with column subtraction if the calculation was 96 – 47? Model decomposition. What happens when we work with decimal numbers? Model the use of decomposition several times. Children to carry out a range of calculations – AG: Supports Circles during teaching time. RM: Abacus Y1 page LO: To use written methods of subtraction. Review subtraction calculations for number lines and column methods involving amounts of money. Ensure children are familiar with decomposition and have time to review as needed. Apply within calculations that involve single and multiple decomposition. APPLY TO WORD PROBLEMS RM: LO: To use written methods of multiplication. As before, review methods of multiplication with the class. Focus on the use of grid methods and compact methods to carry out calculations. MUST: Multiply TU x U SHOULD: Multiply HTU x U CHALLENGE: Multiply (H)TU x TU LO: To identify sequence rules. Review knowledge of sequences and rule identification with the class. Explore how sequences can involve numbers, shapes and letters. Children to continue sequences. When exploring number sequences, make link to times table groups. E.g. 3, 6, 9, 12… Next number is… Focus on continuing and completing sequences, by identifying the difference between known numbers and using this to identify missing values. AG: Supports circles / RM: Completes sequences involving shapes or colours. INDEPENDENT

A big value set of planning. For year 5. Loads of material here. Planning, worksheets, powerpoints etc Give your planning a real boost. Excellent for filling in gaps in the curriculum and making your Sundays easier. Concentrates on Maths and English, but plenty of other subjects, especially R.E. in there. The zip contains loads of files. I’ve included a FEW in the general upload to give you and idea of the planning.

Planning for year 6 Maths. Lots of ideas you can meld into your own school planning. Year 6 is a tough year to teach, so the more material you have, the better. The zip file contains the lot. I’ve put a few in for you to sample. sample Start with A3 sheet on each table – 1 minute to write down any vocabulary, phrases, methods or information linked to addition. Come back together, take feedback and put on working wall. Refer to targets to make children aware that some of them have addition related targets. Discuss methods used for addition. Show Y6 calculation policy and discuss column addition. Show 7648 + 1486 Solve using column addition – compose success criteria whilst solving. Repeat with 1489 + 71 + 3 + 561 Emphasise importance of place value columns and presentation – talk about ‘carrying’. Whole School Mass 11am LO Improve efficient recall of mental maths. SUCCESS CRITERIA N/A Test 11am – 11.10am Self mark and strategies 11.10am to 11.30am - fill in mental maths record sheet at back of each maths book. Final 45 minutes (allow a few minutes for a plenary) – split class into three groups. Carousel activity: Octagon group to go into science area with HM for 30 minute session towards their target; adding and subtracting negative numbers. Group 1: Hexagons (1) and Isabel, Eleanor and Dan O from Hex (2) Group 2: Rest of Hex (2) plus Pentagons (1) Group 3: Pentagons (2) plus triangles. LO Add decimals up to 3dp using the column method. Add numbers with differing numbers of decimal places. SUCCESS CRITERIA Add to yesterday’s in a different colour. Revise use of column method. Show 15.8 + 23.3 and model for working wall whilst emphasising the importance of the decimal point not moving. Show problem: I spend £46.78 in one shop and £27.45 in another. How much did I spend in total? Use column. Show 7.9 + 5.82, model use of 0 on the end of the 9 to make them the same number of dp. Refer octagons to their target.

Spread out over the three terms, some nice lesson planning, worksheets, powerpoints. It concentrates on Literacy but there is far more. Numeracy, linked to the Abacus system, is useful even if you do noit have abacus. Just condense and adapt them You get a chunk of Science RE PE Soda activities Geography I’ve also included some nice year 2 stuff that you can use. The zip file has the lot.

Gathered together my lessons for year 5 Maths and English for a particular year. There’s about a year’s worth in there. Plenty of great ideas. the zip has the lot. the general download a few to have a look at. Sample planning : Start by showing the word ‘Instructions’ – TTYP what does this mean? Come back together and establish that instructions are a set of commands given to help someone do or create something. Show the children a recipe and the instructions as to how to play Sevens using cards. Look at the instructions. What do children notice about how these are laid out? They are given in an order. They are bullet-pointed. Each sentence is fairly short. There are many ‘bossy’ verbs: ‘place’, ‘play’, ‘turn’ etc. Explain that we call these ‘imperative’ verbs – an imperative is a command. Discuss why it is helpful to have ‘bossy’ verbs and short clear sentences. There is a title which tells you what is to be achieved. Numbers or time connectives used e.g. 1, 2, 3 or later, next - are used to show chronological order. Create a features list on the working wall by sticking post it notes onto a piece of sugar paper –these can be used throughout the unit as a game to start the lesson. Divide the class into three teams. Deal out seven cards to each team and the teacher! Play a little of the game of sevens, following the instructions. Demonstrate how we can follow the instructions to play. Return to features of instructions displayed on working wall. What can you remember about these? Children turn to a partner and tell them 3 different features. Report back & discuss. Show children the instructions checklist (working wall). Have we mentioned all of these features? Ask children to think of a new idea for a card game. Use a talking partner & brainstorm a game idea on whiteboards. Gather everyone’s ideas/discuss the concepts. Pick one idea. Decide how many players we will need & how to play it. Allow children time with talking partners to practice playing the game. Ask some children to demonstrate. How will we write the instructions? What comes first? (Title, subheading.) What is our first instruction? Repeat for a few more sentences.
