A fantastic reasoning activity that helps children improve their problem solving and ability to work systematically.
The problem starts with 3 objects and moves on to four. There is also an opportunity for more able children to make predictions for 5 and 6 objects and then test their theories. Very able children may make connections such as once you find all the possibilities for one starting object, you can multiply this by the total number of objects for the number of possibilities altogether.

A fantastic lesson that generated some great discussion about jobs and their salaries. The discussion was so rich in mine that it carried over two lessons.
First children are given cards with different jobs (discuss any unfamiliar to children before starting). They are asked to rank them from most important to least important and give feedback on their answers.
They are then asked to consider what they think the salary for each job might be and try to match these. The powerpoint then reveals the average salaries in descending order. This generates excellent discussion about whether this is fair, which jobs should earn less/more, are you surprised by any etc
As a final activity children can research a job they would like to pursue in the future and then create an advert for this job based on what they have found. I have included a SEN template, a word mat and some links for useful websites.

There are two more challenging or ‘Greater Depth’ activities for children who are secure at mastery level. These require more reasoning skills to solve the problems
These reading comprehensions use a number of reading skills including meaning of words in context and inference.
