A selection of place value charts to be printed onto A3 and laminated. These can then be used by children as a table resource. Columns are colour-coded to help with understanding the number system, and to help children learn to read larger numbers with ease. Different charts are included (some including decimal columns, and others not) to meet the needs of different year groups. These resources will support teaching a range of topics, including place value, ordering/comparing numbers, addition and subtraction, multiplying/dividing by 10, 100 and 1000 etc. A larger place value chart for a maths display is also included. This will need to be printed onto 5 sides of A4, before being cut out and joined together.

A selection of 18 sentence stems to help children develop their mathematical reasoning. To be displayed around the classroom, or on a maths working wall. A3 size and A4 size included.

A set of Dienes / base ten / place value counters mats to be printed onto A3 and laminated. A selection of different mats is included, to suit learning in different year groups / key stages: Thousands, hundreds, tens and ones Hundreds, tens and ones Tens and ones A selection of mats are also provided with space at the side to show any written methods, allowing a ‘side-by-side’ way of working. This is shown to have a beneficial impact on learning, as it allows concrete, pictorial and abstract methods to come together.

A useful quick-fire 5/10 minute maths retrieval activity. Can be used at the start or end of a maths lesson, or as a quick activity at an alternative time of the day. Questions are based on the Year 5 mathematics programmes of study for the national curriculum in England. The PowerPoint can be edited, allowing you to quickly and easily change the numbers for each question. This enables you to use the same slide on more than one occasion, which is particularly useful if you feel there is an area that your class needs to regularly recap and revisit. Children can complete the questions on each slide on a whiteboard, or in the back of their maths books. Each slide contains a challenge for children to complete if they finish early. Challenges include things such as creating their own word problems, explaining the process they used step-by-step, or representing their question using bar models, number lines, arrays etc. Where beneficial, sentence stems are also provided, as well as place value charts and squares to model how to use squared paper correctly. There are 24 separate slides included, which cover topics such as: Addition (including of decimals) Subtraction (including of decimals) Multiplication Division Adding and subtracting fractions Multiplying fractions Fractions of a quantity Square numbers and cube numbers Multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1000 (including of decimals) Rounding (including of decimals) Inverse operations Roman numerals Factors and common factors Multiples and common multiples

A great transition activity to complete when meeting a new class for the first time, or as a first week back to school activity. Children have to write a postcard to their future selves. In it, they set some goals for the academic year, and they write about their hopes and dreams for the future. Keep the postcards in a safe place in the classroom, ideally displayed somewhere in a box/envelope so that children are regularly reminded about their goals. Then, on the last day of the year, give the postcards back to the children and allow them to read them back. They will be able to reflect on their goals and hopefully they will be proud of themselves for what they have achieved! Includes PowerPoint presentation, prompt sheets for table tasks and postcard template.

A pair of blank co-ordinate grids to print double-sided and laminate. Ideally needs to be printed on A3 paper. Includes stem sentences and a key vocabulary box. Can be used in the classroom for a variety of activities. Can be used when introducing co-ordinates to pupils, as an opportunity to practice before moving on to formal work in books. Also useful as a challenge / extension activity at the end of a lesson. Children can work in partners to create their own questions for each other to answer - linked to plotting co-ordinates, translating co-ordinates/shapes, or reflecting co-ordinates/shapes.

LI: To use fieldwork to observe and record some human and physical features of the local area A three-page activity sheet / worksheet / booklet for children to complete on a field trip. Suitable for primary KS2 pupils. Includes a variety of tasks encouraging children to think carefully about what is around them. Some tasks include: Play a game of eye-spy with a partner Invent a symbol What can you see? Hear? Smell? Taste? Feel? Sketch what you see Ask a partner a question about this place Write down a list of words connected to this place The worksheet is editable so that you can add the location of your trip and the names of your different stopping points.

A lovely end of year art/drawing activity to help children reflect on the fun times they have had throughout the year. Children fill their bottle with drawings to represent any fun activities or happy memories they have made throughout the year. There is a choice of two bottle styles for each year group, and also a PowerPoint presentation which can be edited to suit your year group.

A homework task for the Year 5 science topic, ‘Earth and space’. Children have to complete the moon diary every night for four weeks. They record their observations by writing the date and drawing the shape of the moon. Once completed, the diaries can be brought back into school and will provide a good starting point for exploring the lunar phases. Children will be able to compare diaries and look for any patterns and trends.

An activity to cover the Year 5 science topic, ‘Animals, including humans’. LI: To describe what happens during the prenatal stage of human development Contains a prompt to stick in books with four questions about the prenatal stage of human development. Contains key words in green.

A vocabulary sheet to cover the Year 5 science topic, ‘Animals, including humans’. Useful for teaching vocabulary, as a form of assessment, or just to revisit and add to as children progress through the unit. Key words can be altered as needed.

A lesson to cover the Year 5 science topic, ‘Animals, including humans’. LI: To describe the changes that occur during the infancy stage of human development Includes a ‘Guess the infant’ activity. Use photos of staff as infants as a hook into the lesson – can children work with their table to guess who is in each photo? Children have to create a timeline to show the changes that occur in humans during the infancy stage of development (from birth to 2 years). Children use an I-pad/tablet to research the average age when these changes occur. Differentiated activity. Children to draw the timeline in their science books, thinking carefully about how to space out the intervals at equal distances. Ready-made timelines are provided to support lower ability pupils if needed. Challenge on the prompt sheet - children to find two more changes that occur during infancy and add them to the timeline in a different colour.
