Lesson 1: Week 1 Title Number Sequences Learning Objective:  count on and back in steps of 10  describe and continue a sequence  make up a number pattern. Mental Warm Up: Today you are going to complete a mapping diagram with a ‘+10’ rule. Main Lesson Idea: Today we are going to be looking at sequences of numbers that have been made by counting on or back in steps of 10 or 1. Educational Challenges  Use cubes or beads in two colours to make a number sequence. Use the ‘+10’ or ‘–10’ rule.  Make a pattern using cubes or beads in two colours. Use the ‘+10’ or ‘–10’ rule.  Think of a way to show a sequence that has got hundreds in it.

Lesson 4: Week 5 Title Mass Learning Objective:  solve measurement problems  understand and use words about mass  measure and compare using standard units. Mental Warm Up: Questions about different numbers. Main Lesson Idea: Today we are going to continue our work on mass. Educational Challenges  Check the order is correct by weighing the items using 10g weights.  Look at the food packages your teacher has given you.  Estimate which size of plastic bag to put 50g of the substance in.

Lesson 3: Week 5 Title Mass Learning Objective:  use and begin to use words about mass  suggest and use simple measuring equipment  develop estimating skills.

Mental Warm Up: What do we know about the number 100? Main Lesson Idea: Today we are going to continue our work finding out about different turns and we are going to learn about a special size of turn called a right angle. Educational Challenges  Cut out a quarter of a circle to make a ‘right angle measurer’. Use it to find things which have right angles.  Make a ‘right angle measurer’. Can you think of things that have corners which are greater than or less than a right angle?

Lesson 3: Week 6 Title Shape and Space Learning Objective:  solve problems and recognise patterns  recognise and describe line symmetry  complete symmetrical patterns. Mental Warm Up: Put these weights into order – heaviest first. Main Lesson Idea: We are going to continue looking for and using lines of symmetry.

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. Please leave your comments about it below.

I wanted to make Year 6 SATs revision more fun. I have combined each of the 2015 Past SATs papers for maths questions and the marking scheme into a single document. This means that a teacher can now show a single question and get the students to find the answer before moving onto the next question. This makes revision a lot less stressful. I have removed the time limits and of course students can now work in pairs or small teams to discuss their different strategies and answers. It also helps to make the lessons faster paced and snappier as the children start to gain confidence in their abilities to solve maths problems. This resource could be used in the classroom or at home to prepare for the UK Year 6 SATs exams. Students should try all the tests to gain the deepest knowledge of this subject.
