This is a week of planning and resources - all tasks are pre-assessments of LO`s covered in Year 2 to be sure all gaps are covered before you move onto the Year 3 objectives. Task inspired by NCETM mastery materials. Learning Objectives covered: LO: To add fractions with the same denominator. (Yr. 3) LO: To count in fractions up to 10, starting from any number and using the ½ and 2/4 equivalence. (Yr. 2) LO: Recognise, find, name and write fractions as 1/3, ¼, 2/4 and ¾ of a length, shape or set of objects or quantity. (Yr. 2) LO: recognise, find and name a half as one of two equal parts of an object, shape or quantity (Yr. 1)

Make basic addition and subtraction more engaging with these triominoes. Students simply cut out the individual triangles on each sheet, and then reassemble into a larger triangle with each calculation matching its correct answer. Four differentiated sheets: Higher ability (addition and subtraction with numbers into millions) Middle ability (addition and subtraction with numbers to 1 million) Lower ability (addition and subtraction with numbers into thousands) SEN (addition with numbers to 25) In two different formats - pdf and powerpoint (editable)

A thinking skills activity to encourage students to consider why the Romans were such successful invaders. All discussion points are true, students need to order them in a diamond ranking, there are no wrong answers so all students can safely enjoy discussing their ideas, without fear of failure. As a further challenge I asked students to design one more battle tactic to add to the Roman arsenal. Learning Objective is from the new 2014 Curriculum.

A pack of 10 concept cartoons to promote reasoning on geometry topics, which can be used to provoke thinking, highlight common misconceptions, assess understanding or to promote mathematical discussion. This pack can be used as a whole class discussion piece, or individually with students recording their reasoning in their maths journals or books (Each example is repeated in an easy to photocopy, 4 to a page format, for individual student work). Learning Objectives covered in this pack: • Identify horizontal and vertical lines and pairs of perpendicular and parallel lines. • Recognise 3-D shapes in different orientations and describe them. • Identify right angles, recognise that two right angles make a half-turn, three make three quarters of a turn and four a complete turn. • Identify whether angles are greater than or less than a right angle. • Describe the properties of 2-D and 3-D shapes using accurate language, including lengths of lines and acute and obtuse for angles greater or lesser than a right angle. (Non- statutory guidance) • Identify lines of symmetry in 2-D shapes presented in different orientations (Yr. 4 LO)
