Complete set of planning, slides and worksheets to provide 10 lessons on area, perimeter and volume. This has been written with Year 6 in mind but the resources are easily adaptable for other year groups.
The worksheets have written with mastery in mind and so follow the following structure:
Worksheet One - Works on practise and fluency (LA)
Worksheet Two - Practise, fluency and reasoning (MA)
Worksheet Three - Practise, fluency, reasoning and problem solving (HA)
Worksheet Four - Practise, fluency, reasoning and problem solving (This is a spare worksheet should children finish problem solving on worksheet three)
All worksheets include answers except for the variables lesson as answers vary too much.
Differentiation is achieved through self-assessment of own abilities to choose which worksheet they do.
Lesson 1 and 2 - Perimeter
Lesson 3 and 4 - Area of quadrilaterals
Lesson 5 and 6 - Area of triangles
Lesson 7 and 8 - Same area, different perimeter and vice versa
Lesson 9 and 10 - Volume
These have had great success in previous lessons and challenge and stretch children of all abilities.

A range of Maths topics covered in this extensive planning bundle. Each one includes planning and worksheets to teach a unit of lessons. This so far includes 159 lessons and will have more units added.
Worksheets are differentiated three ways with a mastery aim running throughout. Having used a similar format in my own lessons, these sheets often provide enough challenge for two days lessons, with children taking on the easier work then moving on to harder challenges within the other sheets.
These have all been made with mastery in mind and so follow this pattern.
Worksheet One - Works on practise and fluency (LA)
Worksheet Two - Practise, fluency and reasoning (MA)
Worksheet Three - Practise, fluency, reasoning and problem solving (HA)

Included are:
Full lesson plans for 12-14 lessons, with differentiated activities for children.
IWB slides for every lesson that go step by step through the lesson. (N.B. In the shared writing sessions, the example paragraphs just need playing around with to a new topic. Whilst I could have done these, it is more powerful to do them with the class at the time)
Resource sheets required for lessons.
Word banks for children to use (in the IWB slides for powerful adjectives).
A self-assessment/ teacher assessment marking sheet that helps children assess as they write and can then be used for a simple marking sheet to pick out positives and targets for children.

Also included are Geography assessment grids for each year group that work as best fit assessments.
A number of resources that can be used for class transition days or for the start of a new school year.
Activities include:
Three quizzes that children can complete in teams
Setting targets and getting to know children activity sheet
Classroom flag templates where children can design a class flag
Rules activity where children decide from rules which are important or unimportant to then create a set of class rules from
Getting to know everyone - Ice breaker activity where children have to find others that may have done a particular thing
Questions and ideas - What they are looking forward to, any concerns and any questions they may have
Geography assessment grids from Year 1 to 6 that can be used to check children's understanding and use as a progress measure if wished. These are to be used as best fit as there may be some areas they are weaker/ more confident in with the aim being a best fit judgement.
I created these as there appears to be a gap in geography assessment at the minute in primary schools since the move to assessment without levels. This enables schools to have something in place for a foundation subject that links well to other curricular areas, as well as showing an assessment system should visitors wish to know how you monitor progress.
