This certificate awards a child with that all important pen licence! There are 2 versions of the certificate, one that you can edit on the computer and type in the child’s name, and another with a blank line so you can print it one and complete by hand. I have included a pdf version of the printable one (to allow for easy printing) and the original publisher files to allow for easy editing. You could also edit the certificates in publisher to change the colours or include your school logo.

An imperative word worksheet for use in KS2, as part of an instructional writing unit. Differentiated 3 ways and editable. I used it as part of a lesson but could be used as a revision task, homework or intervention.

This is a commutative multiplication worksheet - aimed at Year 3 children. The worksheet has been differentiated 3 ways and could be used as a starter, main activity (depending on ability) and also a recap lesson. Word documents provided for ease of editing. Learning Objective: To be able to understand what commutative means and that multiplication is commutative and division is not.

These are an update of one my resources for the Grid Multiplication method. Children are completing fluency and reasoning questions before moving onto worded problems. The worksheets are differentiated and aimed at a Year 3 class. Learning Objective: I can use the grid method to multiply. I have created a follow on resource for this (link below). It looks at using the grid method to multiply by 3, 4 and 8. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/grid-multiplication-mastery-questions-3x-4x-and-8x-12050751

This is a Comparing Fractions activity, aimed at Upper Key Stage 2 children. The activity is differentiated for HA, MA and LA children. Children will use bar modelling to compare fractions, before moving onto using < , > or =. Children will then move onto reasoning questions and missing number problems. I found it beneficial for the LA children to complete a more visual style activity (e.g. one using circles to show the comparisons before moving onto this task). Children will need to understand how to find the common denominator in order to complete this activity. In addition, HA children will need to be able to order fractions. Learning Objective: I can compare fractions.

In this activity, children are converting between fractions and decimals using bar models and number lines. Then, children will complete reasoning and problem solving questions, such as odd one out. I used this with a Year 5 class. I asked all of the children to complete this activity (some with support) and the HA children had a second sheet to challenge them. Children will need to understand fractions and decimals before completing this activity. This activity could also be used as a homework task.

This is a full lesson on investigating area for use within KS2. Perimeter is also recapped at the start of the lesson. To investigate the area, children are given various shapes (pieces of paper) of varying sizes and they are challenged to work out the area with the only knowledge that area is the inside of the shape. An example on the sheet shows that the 10 (length) multiplied by 5 (width) will give an area of 50cm2, but it is up to the children to work out the correct formula. Each of the shapes have been measured and drawn onto an A4 piece of paper (also included). The shapes are differentiated and fall in line with the times tables. Some children are told which shapes to measure where as some children are given free choice. I taught this with a mixed y4/5 class and therefore the worksheets cover both y4 and y5. You could use this activity across KS2.

This resource is aimed at KS2 studying the formal method of multiplication. Children will be multiplying 2 digit numbers by 1 digit numbers. There are no fluency activities in this worksheet as this activity is solely based on reasoning and problem solving questions. The activity is differentiated 3 ways and consists of reasoning and problem solving questions, for example missing numbers, odd one out and then worded problem (including multi-step problems).

Lesson 6, 7 and 8 in the Setting Description writing unit. This sequence follows on from the Taj Mahal setting description as children will learning about a Norwegian Fjord and writing a setting description for this independently. This fitted well with the Year 4 topic, Around the World. The Norwegian Fjord aspect of this unit was added on so that children could complete and independent write. Lesson 6: To be able to describe a Norwegian Fjord. Children are introduced to the fjord and the setting and then describing each part of the fjord (e.g. villages, water, houses, mountains) and using a thesaurus to find synonyms. Lesson 7: Gathering vocabulary for an independent write. Children recap the setting and then as a class, then pairs and finally individually, they will create a word bank of similes/adjectives/prepositions to use in their independent writing. I filled in the 10th slide on this as the class gave me their ideas. Lesson 8: I used this as the time for children to complete their writing. There are little resources for this apart from a simple header page and recap presentation with success criteria. Children use their word banks to help them. All lessons are differentiated 3 ways and include the editable docx/pptx worksheets and presentations, so that you can easily adapt it to suit your needs.

This activity is aimed at a Year 5 class covering the conversion of improper fractions to mixed numbers and vice versa. The worksheets are differentiated for HA, MA and LA pupils. Children will be completing missing numbers questions and using the symbols <, > or = to compare improper fractions and/or mixed numbers to each other. A possible learning objective could be: I can convert between improper fractions and mixed numbers.

A SPAG guide for Year 4, 5 and 6 children. Initially made and used during lockdown for home learning and could also be used in the classroom for children to refer to. Also includes the Year 6 version and a classbased version without the online links as I thought this looked neater if used within children’s books etc. Year 6 version: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-12637392

This resource is a homework sheet based around Improper Fractions and Mixed Numbers. It has been differentiated 3 ways and is aimed roughly at a Year 5 or 6 class. I have used this resource with Year 5. Answers are included for each sheet. The homework covers: Converting improper fractions to mixed numbers Converting mixed numbers to improper fractions Completing missing number questions Using < , > or = to compare fractions and mixed numbers Solving worded problems This resource could also be used as part of a lesson.

I made this KS2 Spag guide for the children and parents in my Year 4 class. I designed it for home learning but could also be useful back in the classroom. There are 2 variations: Homelearning/revision/parent guide based A useful tool for children to use whilst writing at home, including links to bitesize and songs where appropriate. Classbased - essentially the same as the home version except I have removed the links to online resources. I used these in learning journals or stuck in the back of literacy books for children to refer to, so I felt it looked neater if the links were removed. KS2 version / bundle: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-12637388 Year 6 version: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-12637392

Here are a few column addition questions aimed at a Year 3/4 class. I used this for an interview lesson so there are only a few questions for each level. The sheets are differentiated, with the Silver and Gold sheets requiring children to complete missing number questions. Learning Objective: I can use the column method of addition.

This activity asks children to multiply a 2-digit number by a 1-digit number using the grid method, then the part whole model, and then partitioning without a visual support (i.e just showing their working in their book). I used this with Year 4 to recap the grid method and part whole models before moving onto column multiplication. The worksheet is differentiated 3 ways. Word and pdf files included.

This sheet shows the children the method to use when dividing by sharing. The example shows 6 ÷ 3 using sharing circles. This is ideal to stick into children’s books, to help with a lesson or to be a part of a learning guide folder. I used these with a mixed age Y2/3 class to help them to remember the method during the lesson.

A model setting description of the Taj Mahal in India. I used this with a Year 4/5 class as part of the topic Around the World in 80 days. Fully editable word document so you can customise for your own class.
