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!
The Smart board slides take you through the lesson. Our children were learning about pilgrimage across religions and didn't know a lot about Islam but managed to understand the key concepts. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK. They enjoyed watching the 2nd video and I made the questions seem like a quiz and challenged them to get them all right. I had to pause the video a few times though!

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.
Use the SB to briefly introduce Queen Victoria. Prior to the lesson sort out a set of photos/pictures for each group with the writing underneath the picture cut out so they do not know which photo and description go to together, Then hand out a set of the pictures and descriptions to each group and see which group can match each picture to its description first. This way they can find out more about her without the teacher telling them everything!
Children love to play these types of games. Download the rules to understand the different ways it can be played and to get the clues to read out.
