This a lesson I used to teach my year 4 class in the autumn term on partitioning numbers up to 10,000.

The answers are also on a slide to make marking quicker or for you to display at the end of the lesson so you pupils can mark their own work and save your valuable teacher time. There is a challenge question to display while your class are completing their independent work for the pupils who finish early.

This is a lesson that I used to teach my year 6 class about finding the area of a rectangle and of composite shapes (we did a lesson on perimter the day before). The lesson starts off with a starter finding the perimeter. It then offers opportunities to discuss the meaning of perimeter and area and to model the method.

This lesson begins with an activity to see if your year 6s can remember their place value columns by asking them a few questions like this one: What column in the nine in? (in 1,895,765) It then moves onto ‘Guess my number’ where the teacher first models how to do it by saying: My number has 8 hundreds, 4 ten thousands, 2 millions, 7 units. What is my number? Can you write it in digits. To model this, the teacher could use a place value matt or suggest that the children write out the place value columns to support themselves. Challenge write the number in words. This is then followed by similar differentiated practice questions. At the end of the PowerPoint, there is a slide which has three levels. Blue= LA, Orange = MA and Red= HA. There is another slide which is for children below LA. I usually print these sheets off and hand them out accordingly or allow the children to choose their level of confidence! The answers for each question are included on following slides. While the class are working independently, I display the slide with the Learning Objective, spellings and challenge questions which they can complete when they have finished.
