This is a sheet that I used for homework with my high-ability Year 3 cohort. It involves the children using maths language or talk for maths sentence starters to explain their reasoning as to whether questions, such as the following, are true or false. When you simplify 3/9, the new fraction is 1.5/4.5. The numerator is the total number of parts. Children can choose which questions they answer, giving them more ownership and allowing for self-differentiation. LO: To explain answers with mathematical evidence.

Hello Fellow Teachers, Here is an apocalypse adventure-themed, home learning project that will be used whilst the children are off school- it’s perfect for distance learning due to the tasks being able to be completed independently. This resource spreads across 6 tasks (could be set weekly or daily) which last for an hour-long each. The tasks included follow these learning objectives: LO: To write dystopian narrative LO: To write anon-chronological research report LO: To write a fictional recount LO: To write an instruction text LO: To use non-verbal communication to portray character emotion LO: To write in 3rd person, past tense This task would work great for high-ability KS2 (Key Stage 2) or Key Stage 3 (KS3) children. I upload my tasks as both an editable .docx / Word document, and as a PDF in case the alignment doesn’t work on your computers.
