This is an entire lesson on converting metric units of length that I did with my year 6 class. There is a starter on multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1000 to prepare them for the lesson. There are opportunities to discuss which units of measurement they would use to measure certain items and to deepen their understanding of units of measurement (even better if this can be done alongside physical objects). There are lots of differentiated practice questions to complete on the whiteboards. There is a slide with the Learning Objective and a challenge question which I display while they’re completing independent work. I have included a slide which has work for LA, MA and HA and can be printed off or the class can choose their level from the board (save paper). I have included the answers on the last slides so that you can mark quickly or get the class to mark their own work! I have also included practice SATs style questions to stick in the books as a challenge when marking.

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. Next, there are slides with differentiated practice questions for the class to do on their whiteboards. The answers are on the next slides so that you can quickly check their work. On the penultimate slide there is the Learning Objective and a challenge to complete once they’ve finished their work. Worksheets are differentiated for LAs, MAs and HAs. I have included the answers for worksheets too to make teacher marking easier or for you to give to your class to mark their own work!

I taught this lesson to strengthen my year 6’s confidence in their place value and to help them answer the questions in the SATs arithmetic like 6-4.56 or 7-4.569. We discussed that, by the end of the lessons, some of them might be more confident to answer the question using a number line and some might be more confident to use the formal written method but that they should all be able to have the option. There are lots of opportunities for modelling and lots of differentiated practice questions (with the answers). At the end, I have included a slide that is a printable worksheet or get your pupils to work from the board to save paper. I always display the LO and Challenge question while they’re working independently so they can complete this when they’ve finished. The final slide is the answers to save valuable teacher time!

Used on two consecutive days for my year 6 class that has a range of abilities. This lesson starts off with two opportunities to discuss the method of how to round numbers. The method I usually teach my class is to circle the place value column you are rounding to. For instance, if you are rounding 456 to the nearest ten , circle the 5. Then underline the number to its right and this will tell you whether you round up or down. The PowerPoint then moves onto differentiated practice questions (answers on next slide so you can check the children’s whiteboards quickly). The final slide has steps to success and a challange question for the class to complete when they have finished their work. The worksheets are differentiated five ways. Two possible options for your LAs (indicated by ), one option for your MAs () and two options for your HAs (). The answers are at the end in case you want your class to mark their own answers and save teacher time! The second lesson is what I did the next day with my class as some of my Middle Ability children still were not secure. I have moved the class onto to rounding larger numbers to the nearest ten thousand and one hundred thousand. The questions are on the slides this time and include answers.
