The children LOVED this lesson! Follow the Smart board to understand what to do. The children try to answer the 10 division questions on each card as quickly as possible and then self mark before moving on to the next stage. Only let them have one stage at a time. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK!The questions get harder as they go along but there are no division with remainders questions. It is very motivation. (A few managed all 6 stages in half an hour-that's a lot of maths!)
This is a using and applying maths lesson which introduces the children to the idea of Sudoku using symbols. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK! There is a web link to the free worksheets. There are 2 levels of difficulty. Use the Smart board which takes you through the lesson. Use the plenary sheet at the end, one for each child to stick in their book, so they can reflect on their learning. This type of lesson takes a bit longer than an hour if you include all the starter activities too.
Here is a Smartboard lesson explaining how to calculate division on a numberline with sums for them to calculate. There are 2 levels of difficulty. Please leave feedback!
This is a Smartboard lesson can be used to explain how to work out division sums on a number line. There are 2 levels of work for the children to do on one of the slides. It is for roughly level 3C/3B. Please leave feedback!
The children have a chart with pictures of 3D shapes on and they have to write how many faces, vertices (remember this as the points and there is a point in the letter v) and edges the shapes have. They also have to write or draw pictures of any other objects they can think of which are the same shape.
Read the very simple instructions. This will help the children to learn key times tables like 7x8, 7x7, 9x6 etc. There is an easier and harder game. The harder one includes some negative numbers to times. This is easy to use because all the children have the same bingo card. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK!
Explore the earnings of 145 jobs from low to high pay and then complete a worksheet with maths related questions about it. Suitable for upper Key stage 2 (Years 4 and 6) and Key stage 3
This is my simple version of bingo which involves everyone having the same board! They only highlight 4 or 5 of the squares and then get that number of counters. There is a mixture of questions and subtraction vocab such as minus, less, decrease and take away. You give clues by giving the answer to one of the questions or e.g. 'this is the subtraction symbol&'. The first one to have 5 counters on their board is the winner. This is a great way to teach children subtraction vocabulary and can be used as a starter or in the plenary.
Two Carroll diagrams to sort numbers on to. The easier one is 5 times table/not 5 times table even/not even and the second one is the same but this time it is the 6 times table. You can do the easier one all together on the carpet and then the children can do the 6 times table one at their desks. I teach in a set so I can able to give them all similar work. If you have different abilities you could adapt it to the 2 times table for example. Please leave feedback!
There is a link to the nrich website where you will find the sheet and more information. The starter of this lesson looks at balancing sums , Then the main part of the lesson introduces the maze. They have to go from beginning to end and each number they go through they have to add on to their total and they must have 100 by the end. Please leave feedback!
Here are variety of online games/activities for children to click on to increase their understanding of left/right/N/E/S/W/ clockwise and anti clockwise/right angle turns.
Follow the slides to take you through this complete lesson. The children will need whiteboards. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK! Children will have previously been taught division as 'sharing&' before they move on to calculating it this way.
The children can click on these and it takes them directly to lots of fun online games from various websites. I had all the laptops out for a lesson and they loved it. They are doing so much maths through play! Very motivational.
Use the Smart board to take you through explaining the four games. Use the web link to download the free games: Pig, Boxes, Thirty up and Four Star. The idea is that they work strategically and use their knowledge to win! It should be a fun lesson. They can work with different partners. There is a plenary/reflection sheet at the end that can be stuck in their books.PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK!
The children have a price list with the cost of savoury and sweet food, party bag items and games. They can choose which products to buy and put them into tables and calculate the cost. It could be made harder or easier by changing the prices. They should enjoy this as every child loves a party! May take more than 1 lesson. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK!
If you are not a PE specialist this is a good lesson as it could be repeated several times and it teaches some of the key skills in football. Follow the lesson plan but it is very simple. After the warm up split the class into 5 groups. Laminate the cards and put them at five different places as there are five different activities. You might want to pick children to demonstrate each activity first, especially if they are younger. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK!
A straight forward activity where the children answer various questions interpreting a pictogram graph. They have to be careful and remember than 1 face means 2 children!
This is for high level 2 and level 3 and is designed to revise lots of key position and direction vocabulary. There is a Smartboard to take you through the lesson.

The plenary is a simple vocabulary bingo game. PLEAS LEAVE FEEDBACK!
Aimed at level 3 children -Years 3 and 4-When you follow the Smartboard slides you will see that the children are given a real challenge. They have to draw the cube net out themselves. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK! All you need is to get a piece of squared A4 paper and photocopy it on to card. You also need some pens, stickers and sequins so they can make it special. They can write 'Top secret' and &'keep out&'; on their boxes! Most will need to make a few attempts at it. It is really good for their understanding of nets and 3D shapes.Remind them not to forget the flaps!
This lesson teaches children that subtraction means difference between and gets them to work out 3-digit subtraction on a number line. After working through some examples there is two levels of work which the children can do. I usually let them pick which difficulty they want to start on. The plenary is marking their own work, the answers are on the SB. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK!
