There are 2 arithmetic tests, aimed at children in Year 5, which contain 20 questions in each test. (The questions are different to any of the other questions on my store.) Additionally, there are reasoning based questions for children to apply their numeracy understanding to. 9 reasoning questions and they are presented in a variety of methods. All answers are included.

This resource provides 24 various and interesting images of settings and a corresponding setting description. The descriptions use interesting vocabulary and should expose children to a wider base of vocabulary too. You can choose whether to display the text or the image (or both at the same time). There are also 25 teaching-related questions at the end of the PowerPoint which help to engage children with the writing techniques as well as give them the opportunity to add more, edit or practise various skills. This is Pack 2 and different from Pack 1.

This PowerPoint will guide you through how fractions can be represented in various formats. The strategy used in this Powerpoint is, “I do…We do…You do”. This approach means the teacher models a good example and talks through relevant question prompts (notes are included for slides). Then the pupils have a go with the teacher before finally having their own independent go. They repeat this strategy for identifying how to read fractions and then again for how you get a whole. Questions for pupils to do independently are at the end of each section to test understanding. This lesson walkthrough is designed for children working in Year 5 but could be used as a recap in Year 6 or to introduce the topic in Year 4. A corresponding worksheet is available to purchase which relates to these questions - Identifying Fractions.

The challenge cards display a number of activities that get children to manipulate the practical fraction resources you have. They will need to demonstrate their understanding by showing equivalents, fractions of amounts, practical reasoning based questions and need to think about ascending ordering too. The children cut the cards out and can choose to complete them in any order. You will need to use practical equipment for the children to manipulate equipment in order to compare fractions. This is a useful lesson as either an exploration into fractions or as a recap session. It has been designed for children in Years 4 or 5.
