This lesson is one I taught to my year 6 class. The teaching covers a range of properties of 2D shapes. Regular or irregular, parallel and perpendicular lines, types of angles (reflex, acute, right angle or obtuse), names of shapes. The lesson finishes with the class filling out a table identifying features of 2D shapes mentioned in the main teaching. These are differentiated for LA, MA and HA.

This is a lesson that I used to teach my year 6 class about finding the area of a rectangle and of composite shapes (we did a lesson on perimter the day before). The lesson starts off with a starter finding the perimeter. It then offers opportunities to discuss the meaning of perimeter and area and to model the method. 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 and HAs. 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!

This is a complete lesson that I gave to my year 6 class on rounding decimal numbers with up to 3 decimal places to the nearest whole, tenth and hundredth; 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.

These three lessons on the order of operations (made for my class when home learning) contain lots of differentiated practice questions . Each lesson has a slide with questions differentiated 3 ways for independent work after teaching. This can be printed off or they can work from the interactive whiteboard (if you want to save paper). I have included the answers so that you can get your class to self-mark or just to speed up your marking process (and save your valuable teacher time!).

This a lesson I used to teach my year 4 class in the autumn term on partitioning numbers up to 10,000. The practice questions (for whiteboards) are differentiated for lower, middle and higher attaining pupils and have answers on the next slide to facilitate marking. The worksheets (which are on a printable slide) are differentiated for lower attaining, middle attaining and higher attaining. The answers are also on a slide to make marking quicker or for you to display at the end of the lesson so you pupils can mark their own work and save your valuable teacher time. There is a challenge question to display while your class are completing their independent work for the pupils who finish early.

Here are 100 mental maths starters which I used for my year 6 class. Each slide also has the answers so you can quickly check them. These are all geared towards the Arithmetic paper in the SATs and helping your class become fluent in these skills. -converting improper fractions to mixed numbers -finding equivalent fractions -adding and subtracting fractions -square numbers -multiplying and dividing by 10,100 and 1000 -formal written method of multiplication -multiplying decimals -formal written method of division -formal written method of subtraction -multiplication fact questions -simplifying fractions -multiplying fractions -comparing fractions -adding and subtracting fractions -dividing fraction -converting 12 h to 24 h clock -multiplying fractions -factors -converting units of measurement And more!

This is an entire two lessons on comparing fractions that I have used to teach my year 6 class. It has 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 long algebra which I did with my year 6 class on solving two step equations. 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 a lesson on translating shapes along the x-axis and y-axis in the four quadrants which I did with my year 6 class. The lesson includes a mental maths starter, chances for discussion of the method and teacher modelling, differentiated practice questions which can be completed on laminated four quadrant grids and worksheets that are differentiated for LA, MA and HA. I would print and laminate the four quadrant grid for this lesson and for future lessons.

This is a complete lesson on ordering numbers to 10 million; 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.

This PowerPoint lesson (which contains animated slides) s plenty of visual explanations of dividing a fraction by a whole number (by finding the equivalent fraction) and also the quicker method. Prior learning recommended: equivalent fractions and putting fractions into their simplest form. There are lots of differentiated practice questions with the answers of the next slide. For independent work, there is a differentiated slide which can be printed as a worksheet or the pupils can work from the board (if you want to save paper!). While they are completing their independent work, you can display the slide with the challenge on it which they can complete when they’ve finished. I have included the answers at the end to save teacher time -why not get your class to mark their own work!

This lesson begins with an activity to see if your year 6s can remember their place value columns by asking them a few questions like this one: What column in the nine in? (in 1,895,765) It then moves onto ‘Guess my number’ where the teacher first models how to do it by saying: My number has 8 hundreds, 4 ten thousands, 2 millions, 7 units. What is my number? Can you write it in digits. To model this, the teacher could use a place value matt or suggest that the children write out the place value columns to support themselves. Challenge write the number in words. This is then followed by similar differentiated practice questions. At the end of the PowerPoint, there is a slide which has three levels. Blue= LA, Orange = MA and Red= HA. There is another slide which is for children below LA. I usually print these sheets off and hand them out accordingly or allow the children to choose their level of confidence! The answers for each question are included on following slides. While the class are working independently, I display the slide with the Learning Objective, spellings and challenge questions which they can complete when they have finished.

This is a full lesson with plenty of practice questions on improper fractions and mixed numbers. It also includes a final slide that is printable for independent work after main teaching. This can be printed as a worksheet and is differentiated three times. Blue for lower attaining, orange of middle and red for higher attaining. The answers are at the end. Why not save your valuable teacher time and get the children to mark their own work?

This is an entire lesson that has lots of practice questions and a printable differentiated worksheet at the end for independent work and thee answers to save teacher time!
