The main purpose of this Mathematics Homework is to make your life, as a teacher of Year 6 pupils, as easy as possible. All of the homework activities are based on the renewed Primary Framework for mathematics; however, as they assess specific learning objectives they can be used in conjunction with other planned teaching schemes. Each homework activity sheet addresses a whole, or part of, a learning objective. The questions are written to test the understanding of your pupils once they have worked on a topic in the lesson. This in turn, will provide you with the information required to assess the pupils’ learning, and will enable you to plan your lessons effectively. With a full set of answers included you can be confident that your students are getting regular, relevant homework that tests their understanding across the Year 6 objectives and all seven core strands. This easy-to-use CD will reduce the time spent preparing and marking homework enabling you use your time as efficiently as possible. The Year 6 curriculum is structured into five blocks, reflecting the same structure as the other primary year groups. Each block is made up of three units, and each unit represents two or three weeks of teaching. The blocks are: • Block A: Counting, partitioning and calculating • Block B: Securing number facts, understanding shape • Block C: Handling data and measures • Block D: Calculating, measuring and understanding shape • Block E: Securing number facts, relationships and calculating

This lesson explores more deeply one of the five pillars discussed in the last lesson: prayer or salah. Islamic prayer takes place five times a day, each time taking about ten minutes. These compulsory prayers help Muslims keep God at the front of their thoughts and keep them from doing bad deeds. Other prayers also take place at any time and these are called du’a and are often more personal prayers. The thinking skills strategy of fact or opinion will be used in this lesson. This strategy is used when material is controversial, such as the idea of a religious belief. It encourages people to think about what is a fact, a belief or an opinion. Learning objective Learning about: • To understand the importance of regular prayer in a Muslim’s life; and to understand the beliefs that teach the importance of regular prayer. Learning from: • To understand that what is truth to one religion, may be considered to be an opinion to another group of people. Success criteria Learning about: • Pupils will be able to explain the importance of prayer in the life of a Muslim and discuss how prayer improves the life of a Muslim. Learning from: • Pupils will have considered facts and opinions about prayers and be able to express their own views about how different people might categorise beliefs.
