4 Times Table Teaching Flipchart and Powerpoint

(0)
4 times table teaching Activ Inspire flipchart (also in the format of a PPT) that you can use alongside your daily maths sessions. The first slide introduces children to different representations of the number 4 that children may see in every day life. This progresses onto children using concrete resources to show the multiples of 4. The next slide shows the times table calculations with the answers and arrays. First let the children see the answers and gain confidence in counting as a whole class. Then cover each answer in turn and continue whole class chanting. Cover the ones that the children are most confident on first - 1 X 4, 10 X 4 etc. This helps to build children’s memory and they love guessing which one has been covered. Eventually, all answers are covered. Do this with a good pace. The children will love learning their tables! Finally, there are some corresponding division facts, again using visual representations. Have the children using multlink cubes alongside this so they understand that they are sharing.

2 Times Table Teaching Flipchart and PPT

(0)
A 2 times table teaching PPT and Activ Inspire flipchart that you can use alongside your daily maths sessions. The first slide introduces children to different representations of the number 2 that they may see in every day life. This progresses onto children using concrete resources to show the multiples of 2. Having three multilink cubes on fingers works great here and helps children to visualise when they use their fingers to count in twos. The next slide shows the times table calculations with the answers and arrays. First let the children see the answers and gain confidence in counting as a whole class. Then each slide covers the answer of one or two calculations. This helps to build children’s memory and they love guessing which one has been covered. Eventually, all answers are covered. Do this with a good pace. The children will love learning their tables! Finally, there are some corresponding division facts, again using visual representations. Have the children using multlink cubes alongside this so they understand that they are sharing.

Formal Subtraction Activ Inspire Flipchart. Lesson 1 Without Exchanging. Lesson 2 With Exchange.

(0)
These lessons are to be used when first introducing the column method for subtraction. It builds upon previous methods of the number line and the expannded column subtraction. I used this in a Year 4 class but it can also be used with Year 3 if that is the year they begin to use the method. It can also be adapted for Year 5 when modelling more than one exchange. I am an advocate of using the CPA approach (concrete, pictoral and abstract) so this resource should be used alongide resources. I have included place value counters on the flipchart that can be moved easily. I would suggest using the base 10 resources as a scaffold for those learners who need to visually see the regrouping. Finally, the ‘I Do, We Do, You Do’ are signals for teacher moedelling, whole class practice and independent practice.
KS1 and KS2 Design and Technology Design Booklets

KS1 and KS2 Design and Technology Design Booklets

(0)
I created these design booklets when I took over as subject leader of Design and Technology as there wasn’t a consistent approcah in the teaching of design and technology, and key elements of the design process were omitted. These booklets support teachers in the teaching of the subject and allow children to develop their ideas through research and design, right the way through to the evaluation. The design brief is an essential part of the process which is often left out. In English, we remind children about a target audience. Design technology is no different. We are designing something, for someone, for some purpose and generally to solve some problem. This definition is included on the front cover of each booklet and reminds children using the ‘three s’’ what the subject is about. I have also taken these booklets through a deep dive with Ofsted and they held up well. Please adapt in any way for your own classes.

3 Times Table Teaching Flipchart and Powerpoint

(0)
A seven page Activ Inspire, 3 times table teaching flip chart which can be included alongside your daily math lessons. I have also added the PPT for this session. The first slide introduces children to the number 3 by showing different representations that they may see in every day life. It then leads them onto step counting using multi link cubes. Having these on children’s fingers works really well and promotes lots of enjoyment! My class love this! The third slide shows the calculation to the three times table, along with the arrays, to reinforce the representation. The idea is to slowly cover the answers up as the children gain their confidence. This should be a fast paced session aimed at rapid recall. The children really love this as well! We often divide the class into teams and sometimes boys versus girls to do this section. Finally, I have included some corresponding division facts with visuals.

Year 6 SATS Booster Daily Arithmetic '10 in10'

A total of 20 sessions. These daily arithmetic sessions will support year 6 in the run up to SATs to help them gain speed and fluency with arithmetic questions. I have found these invaluable as a year 6 teacher, and as a result of using them, arithmetic scores have rapidly improved. I have included them in two formats - publisher on squared paper which can simply be printed and completed on the sheet and in a word document for use in books.

WAGOLL - How To Train Your Dragon. Re-tell of Chapter 1.

(0)
I wrote these as part of a teaching sequence for a year 4 class where we linked our learning to the text How To Train Your Dragon. The end outcome was to write a re-tell of chapter 1. There are three levels of differentiation in the WAGOLLS. The first one is aimed at more able children in year 4 and models the use of subordination in complex sentences, fronted adverbials, double sentence openers, noun phrases and direct speech. There is a differentiated one suitable for age related year 4 children and a simplified version for children are specifically focusing on simple and compound sentences. The higher ability version could also be used in a year 5 class as it models relative clauses and short sentences for impact.

These are medium term plans for years 1-6 for Design Technology which I have created and implemented within my own school as DT subject coordinator. They cover all aspects of design technology from textiles, mechanisms, structures and food to electrical systems in key stage 2. There is a one unit for each term per year (18 units of work in total). If you are a DT subject leader or a teacher of DT, these will save you many hours of planning! They follow the National Curriculum and support teachers in their subject knowledge. Each unit is sequenced into progressive lesson by lesson objectives. For a full progression of skills linked to these MTPs, please see other resources. If you would like to see a sample of one of these, please download the Year 1 Autumn resource from my shop which is free. Please leave a positive review if you have found these resources useful.
Whole School Times Table Rainbow Resource

Whole School Times Table Rainbow Resource

(0)
A whole school times table rainbow resource which covers all tables from X2 - X12. Includes: weekly times table tests, personalised certificates, class times table tracker, times table rainbow display and lettering. Over 30 documents included! I implemented this within my school as maths leader to monitor and assess pupils progress in times tables. It is a whole school initiative which runs from Year 2 right the way through to Year 6. Each class has a Times Table Rainbow Display and children’s names are added to it so they can track their own progress. Each week, children take a times table test and once they pass the same test 2 weeks in a row, they move up to the next times table. All tests follow the same format - children answer the tables in order, out of order, missing numbers and corresponding division facts. This needs to be implemented in addition to a taught weekly times table session which is teacher led to see the fastest results. Once all times tables have been mastered, children move to the Bronze, SIlver and then Gold tests before they reach the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. These tests are aimed at Years 5/6 and are progressively harder - including square and cubed numbers. My children gained so much enjoyment from this and they loved being able to track their own progress. There are times table certificates for each stage of the rainbow and then we included a prize of a scientific calculator once they had reached the pot of gold! You can be as creative as you like with this. This is a great resource for maths leaders to implement if you need a consistent approach to the teaching and delivery of times tables. It enables you to keep track of pupil’s progress in each year group as well.

NEW UPDATED VERSION. After teaching this project for a third year running, I have made some adjustments. It is now a full term’s sequence instead of half a term (approximately 10-12 weeks). I have edited it so there is a focus on the skills of sewing before the design process. This has been extremely beneficial for my children as they have had the opportunity to explore a range of stitches before they considered their design. There are video links included in the PPT for each stitch. The project includes a full project booklet, design brief and teaching slides to go alongside these. For older children, you could introduce a range of stitches - blanket, satin, chain stitch. For younger children, I would focus solely on running stitch with wider eyed needles and build to back stitch. You can use any type of material for this. Felt is easier to use but there are so many lovely fabrics that also work well. My year 6 children are using cotton squares that I have purchased and are sewing felt to the inside of them to cushion the device and add more protection. Older children might like to embellish their final design to add that intricate detail.
