For each times table I have created ‘derived facts’ tests where children can use their knowledge of the inverse as well as multiplying and dividing by 10 and 100. Answers included for each

A sheet for children to fill out for a character. I set this as a homework in preparation for the next literacy lesson.

A P.E.E. H prompt for use in Guided Reading sessions. I adapted this from another I found when one of my children in class said in her last school they had to write a 'however&' at the end. This worked well! Especially for more able children.

A sheet for children to help them understand time and for them to plot what they do in a day. Helps enforce a day is 24 hours. LA pupils could verbally explain what they do at each part of the day. MA can be extended to convert the times into a 24 hour clock.

This is a story of the journey of blood through the body. It helps Year 6 children understand how the circulatory system works, and begins to look at how the heart functions. LI: To identify and name the main parts of the human circulatory system, and describe the functions of the heart, blood vessels and blood It can be used in a 'Talk for Write' style, where children can story map the journey to help their understanding. They could also draw a picture to go with it.

This is a Christmas-themed activity that can be adapted for other times in the year! The resource includes two separate activities - one for a Year 5 class and one for Year 6. The following learning objectives from the new curriculum are covered: Year 5 LI: To draw given angles, and measure them in degrees (o) To identify angles at a point and one whole turn (total 360o) To identify angles at a point on a straight line and a ½ turn (total 180o) Year 6 LI: To draw 2-D shapes using given dimensions and angles The children I did this with found it challenging but fun! Input will need to be given about angles, types of triangles, how to use a protractor, perimeter and area. This is covered through this activity at a basic level.

This is a resource for meeting your new class. I trimmed the questions, glued them on to large piece so paper and paired the children up. They then had to make their way around the room to each station answering the Bloom's questions. This encourages deepened thinking and also gives you a good idea of the current depth of the children's thinking, whilst also giving you information about what the children like in a classroom, teacher etc.

I have created this for a year 5 top set maths group. It is differentiated 3 ways, yellow being the less able, green able and pink more able. This links in very heavily with shape as I am teaching this following 3 weeks on shape, space and measure, so it will continue to embed their knowledge of quadrilaterals, types of triangles, angles and parallel and perpendicular lines. Hope this is useful! Have included photos of what it should look like once points have been plotted, hopefully I haven't made any silly mistakes! :-)

Want to teach children adding and subtracting fractions using real-life examples? Look no further! In this resource pack it shows children different methods they can use in concrete and pictorial ways. Sheets for more able children are included without the images.
