This is an entire lesson on converting metric units of length, capacity and mass 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 lots of visuals to discuss what 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 (answers on the next slide -I like to freeze my board and check answers as I go). 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 a week’s worth of lessons (5 lessons) based on 3 texts/extracts. It contains main teaching sessions and worksheets that are differentiated . Each worksheet and lesson makes the reading skill they are practising quite explicit. Lesson 1: Looks at a text about Serena Williams and revising looking at the meaning and impact of words on the reader Lesson 2: This lesson looks at the same text on Serena Williams but this time focuses on the skill of summary Lesson 3: This lesson also uses the text on Serena Williams and the class have to infer her personality traits using evidence from the text. Practise answering a 3 mark question Lesson 4: This lesson allows them to read a new text/extract and practise answering a 3 mark question about the character’s personality Lesson 5: This lesson involves a third text/extract from a Robert Louis Stevenson novel and the children must give their impressions of the house in a 3 mark question.

Want your class to realise why reading is so important? This is a reading comprehension that I gave my class as the start of term to really hone in why reading is so important! This resource includes: text, questions and answers at the end of the word document to make marking faster.

3 entire lessons on the formal written method of multiplication that I have used to teach my year 6 class. The lesson has chances for the teacher to discuss and model the method, differentiated practice slides (with answers on next slide so teacher can quick check) and a final slide which can be printed off as a worksheet. While the class are working independently, display the slide with challenge and Learning Objective so that they can complete this once they’ve 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!

Here are 15 reading comprehensions that I gave my year 6 class for their Autumn Term homework.

These 4 PowerPoint (which all contain animated slides) lessons feature 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!). I have included the answers at the end to save teacher time -why not get your class to mark their own work!

Four lessons. All with practice questions for the children to complete on their whiteboards with the answers on the next slide so that the teacher can quickly check. Independent work is differentiated 3 ways. Answers for independent work provided so you can get your class to mark their work and save valuable teacher time! Lesson 1: dividing numbers with a decimal remainder. Lesson 2: dividing numbers with a decimal and fraction remainder. Lesson 3: division word problems Lesson 4: decimal word problems involving all four operations
