I am a maths specialist and have created a unit of work based off of the NCETM spines for division. This starts with the foundations of division and leads into short method/bus stop method for division.
I have dived into a variety of high-quality resources including NCETM, White Rose and diagnostic questions. The activities and tasks have been specially designed and ordered to provide a solid understanding of division. There is a real mixture of resources used and combined to create a comprehensive unit that can be delivered straight from this download.
Lesson 1: multiply and divide by 11
Lesson 2: multiply and divide by 12
Lesson 3: divide using resources (practical lesson)
Lesson 4: divide two-digit numbers with remainders
Lesson 5: divide two and three-digit numbers with remainders
Lesson 6: use written method for division - no exchange (practical lesson)
Lesson 7: use written method for division - no exchange (applying the new skill in books)
Lesson 8: Use written method for division with one exchange (practical lesson)
Lesson 9: Use written method for division with one exchange (applying the new skill in books)
Lesson 10: Revise multiplying and dividing by 10 and 100.
Each lesson follows the same maths lesson structure of:
Revisit
Address Misconceptions
Vocabulary
Focus
Guided Practice
Talk Task
Deepen
Independent Task
The ‘Independent Task’ slide has a ‘Now, Next, Last’ visual to promote children’s independence in completing their tasks.
The Powepoint is infused with STEM sentences, different representations, practical activities, fluency, and reasoning tasks.
This is a unit of work that part follows CPLE Power of Reading planning.
Week 1: Power of reading
Week 2: Writing cycle (a structured approach that builds children up for a large piece of writing, including learning a new SPAG skill and applying it to writing)
Week 3: Power of reading
Week 4: Writing cycle.
Power of reading inspired work includes a range of creative and engaging lessons to get children interested and enjoying the story.
There are 12 full lessons but this can be extended into 16 lessons (see below).
Here are the learning objectives of each lesson:
Lesson 1: Make inferences about a character (intro to the book and discussion of characters)
Lesson 2: Respond to an illustration (children create their own treasure map similar to in the story)
Lesson 3: Sequence events in a story and make predictions
Lesson 4: Use commas when writing lists (this will be applied to writing instructions)
Lesson 5: Plan instructions (WAGOLL of set of instructions included and planning sheet)
Lesson 6: Write instructions (WAGOLL of set of instructions included)
Lesson 7: Visualise a character from the story (children create their own sea-monster like in the story)
Lesson 8: Visualise a character and a setting from the story (children cut out their sea monster and place onto a setting they have designed to create a page for the story in the book)
Lesson 9: Gather descriptive vocabulary (based on their sea creature and setting designs)
Lesson 10: Use an apostrophe for contraction (this will be applied to diary writing)
Lesson 11: Plan a diary entry (WAGOLL and planning sheet included)
Lesson 12: Write a diary entry (WAGOLL included)
2 more lessons can easily be added after Lesson 6. This can be a lesson on editing their writing and then publishing their work. 2 more lessons can be added after lesson 12 for editing and publishing.
The book is available online on Youtube so the physical book is not necessarily needed in order to follow this planning.
Lesson slides are well thought-out and include slides on key vocabulary, SPAG starters, spelling practice opportunities and now/next/last slides.

This unit of work is inspired by and based off of the planning from the Emmanuel Project which is attached in these downloads.
There are 6 lessons in this unit of work. There is a range of activites such as: arts and crafts, writing, labeling, and a treasure hunt.
This unit of work has been taught for two years and has been successful each time.
Although this is based off of a KS1 planning unit this has also successfully been taught to lower key stage 2.

9 weeks worth of homework!
Each week consists of two sets - one for on track learners and one for ‘SEN’ learners. The SEN homework is slightly more visual and goes through the KS1 spellings. The on-track homework takes spellings from the Year 3/4 government spelling list.
The homework is intended to be printed double sided with a times table task on one side and spellings on the other.
The homework has the due date written on the top of the page which is due in on Fridays but this can easily be amended.
