This is a resource that I prepared for my year 6 class in Maths on word problems. The word problems all involve addition and subtraction, some in the context of money. The LO is to choose the appropriate method because some questions can be answered using the formal written method and some might need another method like using a number line to work out how much change is due. This is superb SATs revision! Along with a powerpoint, I have also included worksheets that are differentiated for Lower, middle and higher. (*, ** and *** next to Learning Objective to show you which is which). The answers for each level are at the end of the work document. Before this lesson I would recommend do a revision lesson on addition and subtraction of decimals. Concentrate most of your teaching on how to use a number line but get the class to look at each practice question with a critical eye. I didn’t get through all the practice questions on the slides but there are more than needed just in case you need!

This is a complete lesson that I gave to my year 6 class on the formal written method of addition with up to 3 decimal places; it includes differentiated practice questions which can be done on whiteboards (with answers on a separate slide), a (differentiated) worksheet slide which you can print off or get your class to work from the board and choose their own level. The lesson also includes a slide with the answers to save our valuable teacher time. Why not get your class to self-assess at the end of the lesson? The lesson is differentiated three ways for lower attaining, middle attaining and higher.

This is a complete lesson that I gave to my year 6 class on long multiplication as revision a lesson we did in the run up to the SATs ; it includes differentiated practice questions which can be done on whiteboards (with answers on a separate slide), a (3 way differentiated) worksheet slide which you can print off or get your class to work from the board and choose their own level. The hardest level of differentiation is multi-step word problems involving all four operations for my very high attainers. The lesson also includes a slide with the answers to save our valuable teacher time. Why not get your class to self-assess at the end of the lesson? The lesson is differentiated three ways for lower attaining, middle attaining and higher.

This is a lesson that I gave my year 6 class about converting from the 12 hour and 24 hour time. Please look at the notes at the bottom of the slides. The lesson begins with lots of opportunity to model and discuss converting. Then there are differentiated practice questions with answers on the next slides for the class to practise on their whiteboards. There is a slide with differentiated questions for independent work which can be printed off or you can get your class to work from the board to save paper! While the children are working independently, I always display the LO slide with the challenge question so that any children who finish early can have an extra challenge. I have also included the answers on a slide so you can quickly mark or get the class to mark their own work and save your valuable teacher time! Print out the blank clock faces for your unconfident time-tellers.

This is a lesson that I used to teach my year 6 class about converting between fraction, decimal and percentage equivalents . The lesson starts off with a starter on multiplying and dividing by 100. It then offers opportunities for teacher modelling. Next, there are slides with differentiated practice questions for the class to do on their whiteboards. The answers are on the next slides so that you can quickly check their work. On the penultimate slide, there is the Learning Objective and a challenge to complete once they’ve finished their work. Worksheets are differentiated for LAs, MAs, HAs and HHAs. I have included the answers for worksheets too to make teacher marking easier or for you to give to your class to mark their own work!

I completed these lessons with my year 6 class to practise estimating the size of angles, then measuring their actual size using a protractor. The worksheet for this lesson is differentiated for LA, MA and HA. The second lesson moves onto the class drawing angles using protractors.

Day 1 : revises names of shapes, regular and irregular shapes, parallel and perpendicular lines, conventional markings for parallel sides and equal angles and types of angles. The worksheet is differentiated 3 ways for LA, MA and HA. Day 2: properties of equilateral, right angle, isosceles and scalene triangles. The worksheet is differentiated 3 ways for LA, MA and HA.

This is an entire lesson suitable for year 6. It includes lots of differentiated revision questions for them to do on their whiteboards. These slides also include the answers on the following slides. There is a printable slide that you can hand out as a worksheet or get them to work from the board. The answers are on the final slide to save teacher time -get them to mark their own work before you look at it!

This is an entire lesson on comparing fractions that I have used to teach my year 6 class. It has a mental starter, chances for the teacher to discuss and model the method, differentiated practice slides and a final slide which can be printed off as a worksheet. Finally, I have included a challenge question which can be displayed while the children are working independently and that they can complete when they have finished. I have included the answers on a separate slide which you can use to get your class to mark their own work or just make the teacher’s marking quicker!

This is an entire lesson on converting metric units of length that I did with my year 6 class. There is a starter on multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1000 to prepare them for the lesson. There are opportunities to discuss which units of measurement they would use to measure certain items and to deepen their understanding of units of measurement (even better if this can be done alongside physical objects). There are lots of differentiated practice questions to complete on the whiteboards. There is a slide with the Learning Objective and a challenge question which I display while they’re completing independent work. I have included a slide which has work for LA, MA and HA and can be printed off or the class can choose their level from the board (save paper). I have included the answers on the last slides so that you can mark quickly or get the class to mark their own work! I have also included practice SATs style questions to stick in the books as a challenge when marking.

This is an entire lesson on long division which I did with my year 6 class. The lesson includes lots of differentiated practice questions and a printable differentiated worksheet for independent work at the end. The answers are on the last slide. Challenge question which they can complete after finishing independent work.

This is an entire 2 lessons on working out the missing angles on a straight line, around a whole turn and lesson 2 is about finding missing angles in triangles with the prior learning. The lesson includes lots of differentiated practice questions and a printable differentiated worksheet for independent work at the end. The answers are on the last slide. Blue = LA Orange = MA Red = HA

This is a lesson on reflecting shapes along the x-axis and y-axis that I did with my year 6 class.

The lesson is differentiated three ways for lower attaining, middle attaining and higher. I gave it to my year 6 class.

This lesson goes through (on a PowerPoint) how to estimate and measure angles. It includes some slides with opportunities for the teacher to model how to correctly place the protractor, slides to revise the different kinds of angles and a differentiated slide at the end that you can give a more confident class to do. If your class is like mine, I have included a worksheet (differentiated three ways on Word document) that has the angles already drawn out.

This is a full lesson for a year 6 class that involves practising answering division word problems in which you have to interpret the remainder. This should be done after your class have revised using the formal written method of division. There is a PowerPoint included with plenty of practise questions for you to get your class to discuss in talkl partners. The worksheets are diferentiated 3 ways for lower, middle and higher attainers in Maths.

These entire lessons have lots of differentiated practice questions with answers that have 1-3 decimal places. The second lesson moves onto division with remainders as fractions and decimals.

I have also included the answers so you can get your class to mark their own work to save valuable teacher time!

This is a PowerPoint presentation of a sequence of 12 lessons which I taught to my year 4 class, in the Autumn Term, on place value. Each lesson has a starter, practice questions (for class to do on whiteboards), printable worksheets, challenge questions and answers to display on board so children can mark their own work. Lessons 1, 11 and 12 doesn’t have answers because the worksheet is too big to display on interactive whiteboard. Lesson 1: Place value of 4-digit number Lesson 2: Partitioning 4-digit numbers Lesson 3: Adding 10, 100 and 1000 Lesson 4: Read and write numbers to 10,000 Lesson 5: Read and write numbers to 10,000 (with progression) Lesson 6: Rounding numbers to 10 or 100 Lesson 7: Rounding numbers to 10 or 100 Lesson 8: Comparing and ordering numbers Lesson 9: Comparing and ordering numbers Lesson 10: Comparing and ordering numbers Lesson 11: Negative numbers Lesson 12: Negative numbers (with progression) I have three lessons on comparing numbers because my class were not so confident with this.

This a lesson I used to teach my year 4 class in the autumn term to revise the units, tens, hundreds and thousands place value columns. The practice questions are a mix of word problems and pictorial questions involving counters. The worksheets are differentiated for lower attainting, middle attaining and higher attaining. There is a challenge question to display while your class are completing their independent work fot the pupils who finish early.

These are three lessons that I did with my year 6 class. Lesson 1: looks at finding the missing angle on a straight line and around a whole turn. On the PowerPoint, there is a printable worksheet which is differentiated for LA, MA and HA mathematicians. The answers are on the next slide. You could use these to get the class to self-mark and save your valuable teacher time! Lesson 2: revises learning from day before then moves onto finding the missing angles in triangles. My class had a basic knowledge of the features of an equilateral and isosceles prior to this but the lesson offers a brief opportunity to revise the features. On the PowerPoint, there is a printable worksheet which is differentiated for LA, MA and HA mathematicians. The answers are on the next slide. Lesson 3: this is a reasoning lesson during which I sent out my LAs to work with my TA on MA work from day before. The lesson looks at opposite angles and finding missing angles in diagrams that contain triangles. There is a Word document worksheet for MAs and HAs.
