Maths Mastery - Weight - MINECRAFT MATHS - 3 LESSON PLAN & TEACH

This set of 3 maths mastery lessons were planned and taught (Lesson 1 as an observation lesson), for a Year 5 class. The content could easily be adapted to suit a Year 4 or Year 6 class.
My class loved the MINECRAFT theme and the use of charcoal, gold, redstone, diamonds, emeralds and gold linked perfectly to our weights unit.

Included are:
- Lesson 1,2,3 Detailed Lesson Plans
- Lesson 1,2,3 Powerpoints
- Lesson 1,2,3 - Fluency, Probing and Mastery Worksheets
- Measures conversion chart


Lesson 1 focuses on converting Kg and g
Lesson 2 focuses on rounding weights to the nearest kg, 1/2 kg, 100g and 10g
Lesson 3 focuses on converting metric and imperial units of weights measures

Each lesson includes an engaging MINECRAFT themed Powerpoint that logically works through Fluency, Probing and Maths Mastery challenges.
The accompanying worksheets follow the same theme and can be printed as multiple handout sheets to save printing.

I used filled small labelled bags of sand, gravel etc to represent redstone etc for the group practical weighing activity.

The observation went brilliantly with all the pupils really engaged and so any one lesson of this mini-series on weight would be great for an observation or interview lesson.
