In 2016, there will be a new Maths test format. I have taken the sample 2016 Maths SATs tests and combined the original question and answer papers into single documents. This means you can ask a single question to the class, wait for a response on their mini white boards and then check their answers against the official marking scheme.
Check out my new video on how to make this lesson extra successful.
The great thing about this is it really reduces the amount of stress in the classroom as the students are able to work on their own, in pairs or small teams to work out the answer. They can then discuss their different strategies at resolving each of the questions..
This is a nice set of teaching resources to keep a lesson well paced and snappy.

Mass
Why Students Will Love This Lesson
Students will love the Mass lesson because it allows them to explore the concept of weight through engaging, hands-on activities. The mental warm-up, which prompts them to visualize a spider on a hundred square, sparks curiosity and sets the stage for learning about measurement. Throughout the lesson, they will enjoy measuring classroom objects and comparing their weights using non-standard units, making the experience interactive and relatable. The challenge of creating a poster showing items that are heavier or lighter than a kilogram encourages creativity and teamwork, making math fun and exciting.
Sample Questions
Can you find an object in the classroom that you think is heavier than a kilogram? Describe it.
If you have two items that weigh a total of 1.5 kilograms, what could they be?
Estimate how much your lunch bag weighs. Is it heavier or lighter than a kilogram?
Benefits to Teachers
Engaging Content: The lesson promotes active participation and collaboration among students, creating a lively classroom environment.
Focused Learning Objectives: Clear objectives help teachers evaluate student understanding of mass, measurement, and weight.
Real-World Applications: By relating mass to everyday objects, students can connect mathematical concepts to their daily lives.
Skill Development: This lesson enhances students’ estimation skills, encourages accurate measurement using non-standard units, and expands their vocabulary related to mass.
In summary, this Mass lesson equips students with essential measurement skills while making the learning process enjoyable. They will build confidence in comparing weights and understanding mass, which are vital skills for their overall education.

Do you ever wish there was a simple to use, comprehensive way to boost your Year 3 Numeracy grades? Something with all the teaching and homework included in one place? I discovered that I was now allowed to use original Government teaching documents to make a complete course of PowerPoint lessons which follow the original UK Year 3 Numeracy Booster programme.
Are you teaching counting to 10? This Halloween counting presentation is great fun. The first half of the presentation is with the numbers in order. Then I mixed up the numbers and so the children can count them all again.
As well as teaching the students to count in order and then out of order, I have also included a set of Halloween Themed writing and counting worksheets to use in the class.
I have also added a PowerPoint presentation explaining 31 different teaching activities you could use these picture flashcard for.
You could look at it directly as a presentation and discuss the different numbers being shown in each of the photos.
You could print off and laminate the photos to make an interesting, eye-catching display about Halloween Counting to 10.
The students could also take the laminated photos and sort them from the smallest to the biggest. The students can then discuss what they think the answer is if they add 2 cards together.
The photos could also be used as prompts for creative writing, factual writing or descriptive writing.
I have been a keen fan of this book for a long time. I was really excited to see as part of the Open Government scheme, I was able to take this book and make it into something I believe is much more user friendly.
When I used the original book with an interactive whiteboard, I was always annoyed at having to skim to the end of the book to show an answer. I wanted it on the next page.
In addition, I have now replaced all the pictured with much more stimulating colourful pictures. I have also taken the time to follow the advice of Dudley council and sorted the different problems into age groups and blocks.
You will notice there is some repetition of problems both between blocks and in different year groups. The students can try the same problem twice at different times, as this is excellent consolidation. It is also an excellent time to suggest students think about how they could change the problem.
How can this be used in the classroom?
This could be used as an assessment at the start or the end of a unit. It also could be used as an emergency set of lessons for any teacher while covering another teacher’s maths classes.
In addition, it is also an excellent set of resources to prepare for different exams. Look at how the students resolve a problem and identify the different ways different students attempt to answer the same problem.
In addition to answering the problems, this is also an excellent time to look into inverse operations. How do we know we have found all the answers? How do we know we have found the correct answer?
I have really enjoyed making these mental maths problems a lot more accessible. I have enjoyed teaching them in a wide range of different classes and I hope that you too will enjoy making maths fun.
