A perfect resource for the Year 4 timestable check. These activities run themselves and can be done daily or a few times a week in the lead up to the timestable check. This resources includes 8 PowerPoints all of which have 25 questions. All timestables are covered and all answers are included. The PowerPoints move to the next question after 6 seconds and clicks as it does so to signal to children that a new question has appeared. A printable score card is also included so children can see how they progress with each practise they complete. I hope that this resources helps and encourages your children and saves you some time.

Multiplication activity cards that are perfect for Year 4 revision for the multiplication test. These cards are designed for children to practise their tables independently. The last sheet is a page of ‘Answer Slips’. The idea being that the children can cover up the answers, answer the questions, slide the sheet over and mark their work. All the cards have 3 activities for each of the timestables on – questions in order, questions out of order and their inverse. These cards are colour coded from easier to harder: Yellow 1, 2, 10, 11 Orange 5, 9 Green 3,4 Blue 6, 7, 8, 12 They could be used as starters, challenges, revision work, extension activities. They could be photocopied and sent home. However you choose to use them, I hope that they are useful to your children and save you some time.

Balancing equations. Visualisation. Quick lesson. Balancing equations comes up in most maths assessments. It can be an area that children fall down on but these are such easy marks to pick up! This is a mini lesson. It could be used as a teaching tool, revision or a starter to another lesson. It goes through what these calculations look like. We visualise each side of the equation on a scale and discuss how the scale needs to be balanced. There are a couple of independent activities which don’t require printing – this can all be done form the screen. The lesson ends with a challenge question. Mini assessments are done throughout with the answers being shown and children marking their work as they go. I hope that it is helpful to you and your children and saves you time.

Problem solving with fractions. Visualisation. Variation. Bar modelling. SATS revision Year 6 ‘Expected Level’ question taken from Testbase: ‘4/5 of the runners in a race have finished the race so far. 92 people have finished. How many runners were in the race altogether?’ The lesson leads children through how to model questions using the known facts and the calculations they need to use to find the unknown values and the answer. There are examples to show the class, practise questions the class can all do together which leads into a differentiated independent task and then a challenge. The lesson uses Bar Modelling and Variation (both from Shanghai / Singapore Maths as a part of Maths Mastery) to build children’s skills so they have the tools they need to answer these types of questions independently. I have found this style of lesson really useful in the past as it hones in on one question style giving the children the chance to master their skills so they have a greater depth of knowledge. Once children have mastered this and built confidence they can they apply it to other areas of problem solving. I have uploaded the lessons and sheets as powerpoints which are easy to adapt if you would like to. There is one powerpoint with the lesson on. The other powerpoint is printables of the bar models for the practise section, the independent activity both as worded questions and as worded questions with bar models to be annotated. The challenge activity can be printed so children can stick in their book and answer. I hope this lesson is useful, helps your children learn and saves you some time. This is one of the first lesson I have uploaded so any feedback would be helpful to me moving forwards. I want my resource to help you and make you life easier!

Year 4 expected worded fraction lesson. Maths mastery through visualisation, bar modelling and variation. ** SATS revision lesson** - Although a ‘Year 4 expected lesson’ the targetted questions have been taken from past SATS papers. This lesson leads to answering 3 questions taken from Year 4 expected examples from Testbase. For example: ‘My Granny lives 120km away from us. We are driving to see her and are 5/6 of the way there. How far have we driven so far?’ The lesson uses Bar Modelling and Variation (both from Shanghai / Singapore Maths as a part of Maths Mastery) to build children’s skills so they have the tools they need to answer these types of questions independently. CAN BE USED AS SATS REVISION It is presented as one lesson but depending on how long your lesson is, how quickly your children understand the learning and compete the work it may need 2 sessions. It looks at worded problems as short stories and models clearly how to draw bar models from the questions to support answering questions. I have uploaded the lessons and sheets as powerpoints which are easy to adapt if you would like to. There is one powerpoint with the lesson on. The other powerpoint is printables of the bar models for the practise section, the independent activity both as worded questions and as worded questions with bar models to be annotated. There is also challenge activity. I hope this lesson is useful, helps your children learn and saves you some time. This is the first lesson I have uploaded so any feedback would be helpful to me moving forwards. Thank you!

Number bonds to 10 activity / task cards to be used with small groups of children or one to one. There are over 100 task cards in this set which show different representations of number bonds to 10 including bar models, arrays and calculations. There are also Active Maths cards to get children up and moving while learning. Cards can be printed of and kept and used in sets or, when the children are more confident with the different representations, they can be mixed and used as a whole set. A great resource for you or your TA to have as a go to resource to keep these skills and facts current and practised.

Fourteen blank templates to support children in laying out column addition and subtraction. There are templates for both the** expanded method and the short method**. Templates for the expanded method are colour coded to help children with where each of the totals need to be placed when they add the hundreds, tens and ones. Of course, these can be printed in black and white if you don’t need this for your teaching. There are a variety of sheets depending on how many digits you are adding or subtracting and how many digits will appear in the answer. In my classroom, I have a little stash of these that we use when we are doing addition and subtraction. It has always been helpful for younger children or those who find the lay out tricky to do independently. I hope these are useful and save you time!

A beginner’s guide on how to use bar models to solve worded problems as a part of Maths Mastery. Bar modelling is a visualisation tool that is used in Maths as part of Maths Mastery. It is a hugely valuable skill to have and when it is taught properly and consistently it allows children to access more challenging worded problems and reasoning tasks. Once a bar model has been drawn, multiple facts can be drawn from it. These slides give an overview of types of models, questions that can be asked and facts that can be calculated. The following slide can be used in a number of different ways: • For your own information – maybe you are unsure about some of the models, what they look like or how they can be used. • For staff training – when I was Maths Lead I used these slides in different schools as part of teachers’ CPD. • For teaching or display – if you are teaching these models to children you might want to use some of the slides as part of your lesson or display. Whatever you choose to use them for, I hope they save you time and are helpful!

Blank bar models which are a great way to** save time** in a lesson. Children can stick them in their book next to their working out to help them visualise the problem to see what the known and unknown qualities are. Print them out and cut them up so you have a little stock in your classroom. I have used these many a time for worded problems. The children’s books look neater than if they draw the bar themselves and it is such a time saver in a lesson! There are a number of different versions here – 3 different part part whole models and a comparison model. Some with brackets and others blank. There are 13 different versions and choices in this pack. There are also 4 posters that could be displayed on you Maths board - one set is coloured and one is black and white.

This resource includes 60 task cards that are clearly differentiated: adding 2,3 and 4 digit numbers. One set does not require exchanging, the other set does. The task cards are clearly numbered and labelled so that you can easily organise which child should use which cards. Each card has a part, part, whole bar model which the children can use to visualise the question. All the questions are a similar format to support fluency in addition worded problems. They work briliantly with Year 3 -4 children. This resource also includes ‘Become a Maths Master by:’ cards which could be copied onto the back of each of the task cards to extend the children’s learning further. All answers are included. The front sheet gives teachers a ‘How to use’ idea.

Maths Mastery. Want your children to be Math Masters? These posters are sure to help you and your children on that journey! 6 posters, 5 objectives for a Math Master. I have used these posters as a permanent display on the side of my Math board. We refer to them in most lessons either as a part of the main learning or as a challenge or extension at the end of a learning task. After a while, I have found that some children refer to them independently and extend their learning without guidance from me. They have helped develop both Math Masters and independent learners over the years! There are double the amount of poster that you will need here – one half are for ‘Math Masters’, the other for ‘Maths Masters’ depending on where you are in the World. Please be mindful of our planet and only print what you need. Enjoy!

These posters offer an excellent, clear visual display of the relationship between decimals, fractions and percentages. Each of the values are represented in a number of different ways for children to see and understand. A huge part of Maths Mastery is to be able to represent concepts in different ways and making links between different areas of Maths to show deeper understanding and these posters are a perfect example of that. I have these posters displayed year-round above my Maths board for children to refer to both when we are learning about decimals, fractions and percentages, but also as an example of showing the same concept in different ways to support them becoming Maths Masters! There are some options when printing – some poster are identical other than the wording of ‘fourth ‘ and ‘quarter’ so you can choose which you’d like depending on where you are in the World.

A** visual representation** of the place value of digits, these posters are a valuable resource for any classroom as place value is such an **important concept **for children to grasp. They are perfect to have as a static display in your classroom for children to refer to all year round. I have them displayed at the front of my classroom above the main teaching board and my children regularly use them to describe the movement of digits when they multiply and divide by multiples of 10. There are 11 posters that run from 0.001 to 1 million (including the decimal point) along with 2 arrows to remind children which direction the digits move when they multiply and divide by multiples of 10. Enjoy!
