Includes varied questions and reasoning and problem solving.

Year 6, Autumn 1 Week 2. Rounding whole numbers to a specified degree. Builds on Year 5 objectives. Underpinned by teaching for mastery elements. Focuses on developing conceptual understanding, supported by visual representations. Reasoning and problem solving included. Planned as 2 sessions, but may very well last longer than 2 lessons to cover all elements in detail.

Year 6. Autumn 1. Week 1 Place Value. Numbers up to 10 million planning and resources. Four days worth of detailed planing and resources including notebook. Includes principles of Mastery and demonstrates a CPA approach. Reasoning and Problem solving included.

This sequence of lessons introduces children to the concept of subtraction through contextualised stories, supported by images and the sentence stem structure ‘first, then, now’. In session 2, children are introduced to the concept pf zero within subtraction. Session 3 clearly and visually demonstrates how to develop children’s conceptual understanding of missing number problems for subtraction. *The notebook isn’t intended to be strictly 3 lessons, teacher may wish to repeat certain elements and spend longer if deemed necessary.

Includes fact sheets and activities that could be used as worksheets. Content revisits previously taught content such as algebra and shape properties. Reasoning and problem solving included.

Includes support mats and sentence stems to help children understand the concepts. Worksheets include examples of variation which will support children to make links and spot connections, there are also opportunities for reasoning and problem solving. Children need to be secure in multiplying and dividing by 10,100 and 1000 before accessing these activities.

I often use this power point with my year 6 class. I keep the order of the questions the same each day, but change the numbers. If a child got to question 5 on Monday, they would start on Q6 on Tuesday, this way all children are experiencing answering the whole range of questions by the end of the week and there is variation and challenge available for those whose grasped the concepts quickly in the first place.

Following guidance from NCETM and Ofsted. Includes clear, simple, quick and effective codes and AfL system.

Content revisits previously taught content such as algebra and converting between units as well as calculations with fractions. Examples of variation, reasoning and problem solving. Concepts are best explored practically first, by physically cutting parallelograms to create a rectangle and investigating why the formulae work.

Two worksheets used across two separate lessons. The first lesson just focused on using ratio language and recognising the difference between ratio and fractions of a whole amount. Sentence stems are used to ensure accurate mathematical vocabulary as well as everyday images and images of concrete representations. The second lesson concentrated on finding equivalent and simplifying ratios. We used red and yellow double sided counters to build equivalent and simplify ratios before the children completed the worksheet independently.

Worksheets that can be used to strengthen conceptual understand of percentages via the use of bar models. It may also be worth exploring alternative representations such as bead strings to 100, 100 squares and Diennes to explore the concept of 100% first. Making links to know fraction facts is also important. E.g. 50% = half, 30% = three tenths. The end of unit percentage questions worksheet includes mixed practice where children are encouraged to make connections between fractions, simple percentages and known facts. It also includes percentage increase and decrease questions as well as questions such as 25% of ___ = 10.

This lesson and worksheet develops children’s understanding of the bar model and part-whole model representation. They were also encouraged to use Diennes to support them with partitioning the multiple of ten addend in order to make the calculation easier to solve.

These resources and note book supports Year 2 with developing number sense and their ability to represent and identify 2-digit numbers on a number line. Blank number lines worked best blown up onto A3 and laminated for children to reuse . Opportunities to reason throughout.

This notebook can be used as a sequence of lessons that explores comparing and ordering fractions. The lesson focuses on developing children’s conceptual knowledge of fractions and is supported by visual representation and repetition of specific sentence stems. Reasoning and problem solving is included throughout.

This notebook and activity introduces children to multiplying by ten and through representation of concrete resources shows how connections can be made between ones and tens.

This notebook provides a sequence of learning that could last up to 2 to 3 lessons. It goes back to basic to ensure children have a solid understanding of what perimeter is, then moves on to look at perimeter of rectilinear shapes encouraging and exploring the most efficient method. Varied methods are encouraged and opportunities to explore these are important. Sentence stems are also used to support children with embedding and articulating their understanding of perimeter.

Worksheets made by myself, but the cut net idea came from nrich.

This is an idea I’ve been playing around with this summer - help at home information sheets to give parents ideas on how best to support their children at home. This particular example is a Year 6 example for the first units in September. All feedback welcome!
