Plot quadrilaterals and then transform the shape, using this game. Learning Objectives (from New Curriculum) covered are: LO - classify geometric shapes, including quadrilaterals and triangles, based on their properties. LO -  describe positions on a 2-D grid as coordinates in the first quadrant. LO - describe movements between positions as translations of a given unit to the left/right and up/down. LO -  plot specified points and draw sides to complete a given polygon.

This activity combined our History topic of Romans, with our Maths focus of measurement, plus a little bit of shapes and fractions thrown as an assessment of the previous units taught. Students receive a letter from Emperor Hadrian, with the command to rebuild sections of Hadrian`s Wall. They then worked in differientiated groups for calculate the correct measurements for the wall. Once the correct measurements had been calculated they then used their knowledge of 3-D shapes to build the wall. I have included the activity and instructions in pdf and word format for editing. My class loved it, but I have to be honest - it took them all morning! Learning Objectives covered: Geometry: Property of Shapes: • Draw 2-D shapes and make 3-D shapes using modelling materials. Measurement: • Measure, compare, and add lengths (m/cm/mm) • Continue to measure using the appropriate tools and units, progressing to using a wider range of measures, including comparing and using mixed units and simple equivalents of mixed units (for example, 5m = 500cm). Fractions: • Recognise, find and write fractions of a discrete set of objects. • Recognise that tenths arise from dividing an object into 10 equal parts and in dividing one-digit numbers or quantities by 10

Inspired by NCETM guidance (which is attached), this bundle of multiplication resources is superb for moving students through CPA process (concrete, pictorial, abstract), also includes NCETM lesson plan and questions from the `Models and Images`resources. Bundle includes: Multiplication as an arrray Multiplications as repeated addition Multiplication on a number line Problem solving

This Talk time discussion activity was inspired by NCETM Mastery documents. Zippy Onion our class mathematician sparks reasoning and discussion on place value around the Year 4 Learning Objective - Find 1000 more or less than a given number. I have given four to page for ease of printing.

Four reciprocal / guided reading activities to accompany the book `The Owl Babies`by Martin Waddell. The text is also attached. Each activity has instructions attached.

A printable template to encourage children to see calculations as arrays, on a number-line , as repeated addition and pictorially. Shrink them down and use them for starter activities too. I used it this week with my Year 3 class and they loved it.
