FIVE FUN THEMED FRACTIONS, DECIMALS & PERCENTAGES POWERPOINTS!
MATHS MASTERY TYPE QUESTIONS.
THEMES INCLUDE: MINECRAFT, LEGO & MINIONS!
Great as lesson starters, or I prefer to use them at the start of the day to quickly settle a class down to work.
This pack includes 5 fun timed Power points, one for each day of the week.
All Powerpoints are set up with timings, so they self-run during register etc.
Why are they great in class?
1. They use MATHS MASTERY style questions.
2. My children love the different FUN ENGAGING themes and say "it's much more interesting to do these than normal maths sums."
3. Timed Powerpoints develop Mental Maths speed, essential for success in Assessment tests.
3. Perfect for developing positive independant working habits.
4. They are really handy to settle a class at the beginning of the day, or at the start of a lesson.
Five Powerpoints included are:
1 FLUENCY / PROBING Fractions, Decimals & Percentages Powerpoint - each slide gives the children a chance to choose either a Fluency or Probing Question to answer.
2. MINECRAFT MATHS - Fractions, Decimals & Percentages
3. MINIONS MATHS - Fractions, Decimals & Percentages
4. LEGO Maths - Fractions, Decimals & Percentages
5. LOGIC Maths - Fractions , Decimals & Percentages and designed to develop logic, reasoning and algebra skills.
Designed for a Year 5 class, but could easily be used for a Year 4 or Year 6 class and all the PPT slides can be easily edited to make the questions easier or more difficult.
This maths mastery lesson was planned and taught as an observation lesson for a Year 5 class. The content could easily be adapted to suit a Year 4 or Year 6 class.
My class loved the MINECRAFT theme and the use of charcoal, gold, redstone, diamonds, emeralds and gold linked perfectly to our weights unit.
This lesson focuses on conversion between Kg and g and vice versa.
It includes an engaging MINECRAFT themed Powerpoint that logically works through Fluency, Probing and Maths Mastery challenges.
The worksheets follow the same theme and can be printed as multiple handout sheets to save printing.
I used filled small labelled bags of sand, gravel etc to represent redstone etc for the group practical weighing activity.
The observation went brilliantly with all the pupils really engaged and so this would be great for an observation or interview lesson.
A very clear 27 slide fully illustrated Powerpoint detailing all of the vocabulary and different sections of Circles.
Suitable for Upper Key Stage 2 / Lower Key Stage 3
My Year 5 class had been struggling to understand and remember all of the different parts of a Circle, but have got it now!
This Powerpoint clearly shows all the different parts of a circle including:
Centre
Circumference
Arc
Radius
Diameter
Chord
Tangent
Segment
Sector
Semi-Circle
All of the slides could also be printed off to make a ready-made display on Circles.
