Useful tool for reasoning practise in Year 6. Includes a hand-drawn bar-graph for interpretation (best done with a ruler). Also useful for identifying children who are not counting from the correct place and producing erroneous answers. Exercise also includes a second sheet where children need to identify different quantities on a speedometer and a scale. This will require some decimal conversion requiring division and multiplication by 1000 (grams to kilograms and vice-versa).

Exercises involving fractions of numbers (e.g. 2/5 of 240) that can first be discussed as a class leading into paired work. The powerpoint discusses the formulas used for working out fractions of numbers and also touches on the point that, when dealing with fractions, X and OF mean the same thing. To finish with, plenary-wise, there is a task that children can complete (either in pairs or individually) geared to their level confidence at this particular point. Together with good quality questioning, this should prove to be useful resource across Key Stage 2 (particularly in Years 5/6).

Themed pack of worksheets on A Christmas Carol where year 6s are expected to work out percentages. This is done by filling out Scrooge’s ledger. working out percentages of amounts - e.g. 30% of £360 working out percentages - e.g. interest payment is £8 on a loan of £40. What percentage is this? Pack encloses: 3 differentiated sheets for working out percentages of amounts. 3 differentiated sheets for converting amounts into percentages. 3 differentiated sheets containing word problems that incorporate the above . Answers are included for ease of marking.

An arithmetic paper designed for year 6, offering a wide range of questions from across the year 6 curriculum and highly compatible with the calculations your pupils will be confronted with in their SAT paper. Answers are included at the back - all on one page for ease and speed during marking. A much cheaper alternative to using pre-printed specimens and a very useful tool to assess progress and identify misconceptions.

Revision Powerpoints for quick and pacy revision sessions. Useful for picking up extra marks in the reasoning papers and quick practice sessions that children can do on whiteboards. Estimation - using rounding skills to estimate answers to calculations and explain reasoning. Rounding - a reminder on how to round whole numbers and numbers to two or three decimal places. Mean Average - Exercises to remind children the formula for working out the mean of a set of data. Translation - Where there is no grid - just the axes. Children often get confused by this. This PP will help explain how to translate using mathematics alone. Hope you find it useful.

A game on Powerpoint where children work in groups of 2-4 and are given a company, along with a balance of half a million. Serves as good practise for those 2 mark questions in the arithmetic paper, as well as a touch of reasoning. Children must play four rounds where they will be expected to work together to do the following. multiply 3 numbers by 2 numbers. multiply 4 number by 2 numbers. Divide four numbers by 12. Divde four numbers by 36. They may also have to work out differences and subtract from their current balance (depending on their accuracy in the rounds!) The most accurate group, with the highest balance at the end, wins! Enjoy

Range of word problems that incorporate 2-step and multi-step challenges. There are 15 word problems in total (duplicated on the page 2-4 times so that they can easily be cut up and given out). A good resource for setting homework on a ‘problem a day’ basis or acting as an extension task if you want to laminate them and put them in a pot (this is what I do). Problems range from: area algebra difference money fractions percentages ratio Problems are also good for class discussion and promoting reasoning/understanding skills. Answers are included at back of document for ease of marking and immediate feedback.

Three differentiated A3 sheets with timetable and table based reasoning problems - includes time, converting hours and minutes/vice versa, finding the difference, total, how many more etc. Reasoning using 4 operations Reading Timetables and interpreting answers Using reasoning skills to deduce which operations to carry out Reasoning skills to convert hrs, minutes, days, months, years etc.

Revision worksheets aimed at learning how to work out 10, 5 and 1% with the view that any percentage can be worked out using this knowledge as a foundation. 3 tasks included: - Working out 10% of any given number. - Working out 1, 5 and 10 % of any given number. - Using this knowledge to work out different percentages of given numbers. Answer sheet included for ease of marking/over-shoulder marking. Task also includes free sheet with word problems aimed at expected and greater depth.

Differentiated into 3 levels of difficulty - addition and subtraction of fractions with different denominators, with mixed fractions included for extra challenge. Answer sheet is included for ease of marking. 1 chilli = 12 questions using simple fractions with different denominators. 2 chillies = 12 questions using simple and mixed fractions with different denominators. 3 chillies = 12 questions using simple, mixed and addition of 3 fractions with different denominators.

Pack comprises of an 8 slide powerpoint presentation that allows children to discuss and work on several problems in either groups or pairs, using the rule divide, down, denominator (works with my class) Process used - multiplying the denominator by the whole number. note - in the SAT arithmetic paper, it is not necessary to simplify an answer but it is encouraged as good practice in the worksheets Two four question worksheets (differentiated as one and two star). For greater depth, answers are to be simplified and converted into decimal for (up to 3 places). One arithmetic worksheet.

This resource is for year 5 and can be used as either an elicitation task or end of sequence assessment. Learning objectives are as follows: Can I read, write, order and compare numbers up to 1,000,000? Round any whole number accurately? Identify the value of each digit in a number up to 1,000,000? Use, read, write and convert between standard units of length, mass and time? Convert a smaller unit of measure to a larger unit, and vice versa? Order decimal numbers from lowest to highest and vice-versa? Answers are included on p2 for ease of marking and learning objectives are included at the top of p1 for highlighting whether the objective is met or not.

6 questions per sheet differentiated using chillies - so teacher can differentiate or pupil can self-differentiate. Questions for LA based on 3-digit nos divided by 2-digit nos (no remainders), building to 4-digit nos divided by 2-digit with remainders for MA and HA. Answer sheet is included on fourth page for ease of marking.

Task that asks pupils to interpret data about the performance of football teams and then place 10 teams into a league table based on the information provided. They will need to works systematically and use the following maths skills: ordering addition multiplication subtraction finding the difference use negative numbers in context copy and place data into a table correctly work logically and systematically Task can be differentiated by changing expectation of what you wish pupils to do - e.g. you might just ask children to order the teams and simply provide their total points. Greater depths could be asked to fill the whole table with minimal support. The cover page contains a couple of tips but this is down to the teacher to discretion as to how much support ‘tips’ they wish to provide.
