This is a great extension after a lesson on the formal written multiplication method. Children have to fill in the missing numbers. Great SATs revision too.
A great introduction to rounding for Year 3 or 4 children and perfect as a revision lesson for Year 5 and 6. I have three challenges - each one slightly harder.
This is a cut and stick activity where children need to cut out and order the journey of a red blood cell through the circulatory system. I get my Year 6 class to do this after they’ve watched videos and about the circulatory system and acted it out! Note - the sheet is currently in the correct order - you might want to re-order or pre-cut before giving to children.
This sheet comprises of 1 large map of the world so children can see where the Mayans were located. Then it zooms in on the specific area so children can see the different shapes of the key countries. Children use an atlas to locate the countries, label, colour in and make a key.
This activity could be used with year 5 or 6 children to help them learn how to convert between units of measure and to develop their understanding of decimals and multiplying by 10, 100 and 1000.
This is a cut and stick activity for children to use when learning about circuits. They cut out all of the pictures and match the picture to the circuit symbol and definition. I use with my Year 6 class but could definitely be used with younger children with some adult support.
Great for Year 5 and 6 children when they are first learning about circle properties and struggle to remember the words radius, diameter and circumference. They can use it as a revision prompt or a help sheet.
This is a fun activity for KS2 children when they are learning about the major rivers in the world. They can cut out and mix up the pictures, places and river names and then match them up again.
Here is a collection of pictures of typical Victorian jobs. I get the children to draw a Venn Diagram or Caroll Diagram in their book, cut out the pictures and stick them in. They could sort them between rich jobs and poor jobs or jobs for children and jobs for adults.
I made this resource for my Year 2 class to prepare them for the arithmetic SATs paper. This 'number challenge' starts with number bonds to 10 and 20 then doubles and halves before working through the times tables. I give children 2 minutes to do as many as they can. Once they have completed the challenge twice with 100% they get to move up to the next challenge.
This resource contains 5 recipes for a Victorian Cooking lesson. I split my Year 6 class into 5 groups. Each group cooks a different Victorian dish. Once everyone has finished cooking, we have a Victorian banquet! Parent helpers essential!
These wordy volume problems are set out so they can be printed on sticky labels (7 by 2). I get the children to stick 1 at a time in their books. That way they have plenty of space to do the workings out in the squares of their book. They are sorted by difficulty - challenge 1, 2 and then 3 is the hardest. I put a selection on each table and then the children chose which questions to answer based on how confident they feel.
These problems are laid out so that they can be printed on stickers (2 by 7). This is so the children can chose their problem, stick it in their book and have plenty of space to do the workings out. The problems are organised by challenges 1 being the easiest and 3 the hardest. I allow children to chose their own challenge.
This is a modelled write that I have written for my Year 3 class when studying the book 'Escape from Pompeii'. It's an information text/ travel brouchure about Pompeii. My class analysed this piece of writing before planning and writing their own versions where they chose their own city in Europe to write about. They had to decide on the layout and heading/ subheadings.
This is a high quality modelled write about cinemas that I use with my Year 3 class to model what a non-chronological report should look like. It contains the key features of an information text: headings, subheadings, a picture, an introduction etc. As well as the key grammatical features that Year 3/4 children should be aiming to use (fronted adverbials, FANBOYS, subordinate clauses, brackets, questions, exclamations and colons).
In the lesson, I would get the children to read the text and discuss what they have learnt from it. They could develop the skills of scanning and skimming and re-calling key information. Then, I ask them to highlight the key features of a non-chronological report. Finally, they could search for high quality language, facts or punctuation that they would like to use in their own writing.
To help my Year 6 children develop their skills for the new arithmetic SATs paper, I have created a weekly 'operation challenge' sheet. The sheets have 8 questions which most children can finish in around 10 minutes.
The questions get harder week by week and contain questions on the four operations, decimals, fractions and percentages. There are 25 sheets in this folder.
This is the notebook file for an English unit where students will write their own Mayan Stories. I teach this unit with my Year 6 class towards the end of the Mayan topic when the class have a good knowledge of the Mayan Era. This notebook file contains the modelled write split up into sections to give students inspiration for their own writing.
This is a collection of over 20 slides with warm ups and teaching promps for Year 5/6 maths fractions, decimals and percentages. I use them at the start of my maths lessons and get my class to answer the questions on their mini white boards.
