I currently work at the top end of Primary school in Year 5/6. I create resources for a range of subjects and am always open to suggestions for resources people require.

A simple set of letters that can be used as a peer marking code for children to use when assessing others writing. These are basic but are effective for getting children to consider the key elements of the writing and being able to mark it quickly and effectively.
They could also be used for staff to mark writing with children then responding to these to improve their own, whilst saving time writing lengthy comments.
Complete set of planning, slides and worksheets to provide 10 lessons on place value. This has been written with Year 6 in mind but the resources are easily adaptable for other year groups.
The worksheets have written with mastery in mind and so follow the following structure:
Worksheet One - Works on practise and fluency
Worksheet Two - Practise, fluency and reasoning
Worksheet Three - Practise, fluency, reasoning and problem solving
Lessons that spread over two lessons also have Worksheet Four.
N.B - Edited to include Roman Numeral worksheet as noticed it was missing.
Worksheet Four - Practise, fluency, reasoning and problem solving (This is a spare worksheet should children finish problem solving on worksheet three)
Differentiation is achieved through self-assessment of own abilities to choose which worksheet they do. The worksheets will be clear in which is LA, MA and HA.
Lesson 1 and 2 - Understanding place value, reading numbers, comparing numbers etc.
Lesson 3 and 4 - Same as Lesson 1 and 2 but with decimal numbers

A bundle full of resources including planning, slides and worksheets for English, Maths, Science and a History topic. Also included is a grammar and punctuation booklet, a KS2 Maths intervention programme and a big activity book for mastering times tables.
Attached is a look at how to improve Maths throughout a whole primary school.
Through the mastery powerpoint you will be given insight into research that looks at how schools can deliver a mastery approach for all children. This will include examples of how to use these through methods I have used myself. Attached with this are then examples of a weekly plan for Year 5 that shows how this can be used. These demonstrate how you can use a mastery approach and show differentiation.
Also included are a range of starter questions that can be mixed together/ used in isolation during starters to improve children's understanding and a powerpoint that introduces the Singapore Bar method.
This resource offers savings on previous uploads with the Singapore Bar, Maths starter and Year 5 activities costing £10 altogether. This package also offers insight into how to lead improvement within your own classroom and within school.
A range of Maths topics covered in this extensive planning bundle. Each one includes planning and worksheets to teach a unit of lessons. This so far includes 159 lessons and will have more units added.
Worksheets are differentiated three ways with a mastery aim running throughout. Having used a similar format in my own lessons, these sheets often provide enough challenge for two days lessons, with children taking on the easier work then moving on to harder challenges within the other sheets.
These have all been made with mastery in mind and so follow this pattern.
Worksheet One - Works on practise and fluency (LA)
Worksheet Two - Practise, fluency and reasoning (MA)
Worksheet Three - Practise, fluency, reasoning and problem solving (HA)
Attached is a version of a potential calculation policy that people can use for ideas to help in developing their own. Each year group is broken down in to the 4 operations, identifying mental and written methods and linking to other strands in the curriculum.
Written methods are kept to a minimum to ensure children become 'experts' in that method and to ensure consistency throughout teaching.
A lesson design format that can be used to ensure children 'master' mathematical concepts.
The aim of this resource is to consider different elements of the lesson that when put together can ensure children make good progress through the lesson/ series of lessons. The publisher version can be used to type on as a lesson plan or it can be used purely to design a lesson presentation/ resources. Key questions are included to start thinking about different elements. Whilst it isn't a definitive list, it encourages staff to consider the elements that will push children on and ensure they gain procedural fluency and conceptual understanding.
