Multiplication activity cards that are perfect for Year 4 revision for the multiplication test. These cards are designed for children to practise their tables independently. The last sheet is a page of ‘Answer Slips’. The idea being that the children can cover up the answers, answer the questions, slide the sheet over and mark their work. All the cards have 3 activities for each of the timestables on – questions in order, questions out of order and their inverse. These cards are colour coded from easier to harder: Yellow 1, 2, 10, 11 Orange 5, 9 Green 3,4 Blue 6, 7, 8, 12 They could be used as starters, challenges, revision work, extension activities. They could be photocopied and sent home. However you choose to use them, I hope that they are useful to your children and save you some time.

Problem solving with fractions. Visualisation. Variation. Bar modelling. SATS revision Year 6 ‘Expected Level’ question taken from Testbase: ‘4/5 of the runners in a race have finished the race so far. 92 people have finished. How many runners were in the race altogether?’ The lesson leads children through how to model questions using the known facts and the calculations they need to use to find the unknown values and the answer. There are examples to show the class, practise questions the class can all do together which leads into a differentiated independent task and then a challenge. The lesson uses Bar Modelling and Variation (both from Shanghai / Singapore Maths as a part of Maths Mastery) to build children’s skills so they have the tools they need to answer these types of questions independently. I have found this style of lesson really useful in the past as it hones in on one question style giving the children the chance to master their skills so they have a greater depth of knowledge. Once children have mastered this and built confidence they can they apply it to other areas of problem solving. I have uploaded the lessons and sheets as powerpoints which are easy to adapt if you would like to. There is one powerpoint with the lesson on. The other powerpoint is printables of the bar models for the practise section, the independent activity both as worded questions and as worded questions with bar models to be annotated. The challenge activity can be printed so children can stick in their book and answer. I hope this lesson is useful, helps your children learn and saves you some time. This is one of the first lesson I have uploaded so any feedback would be helpful to me moving forwards. I want my resource to help you and make you life easier!

This resource includes 60 task cards that are clearly differentiated: adding 2,3 and 4 digit numbers. One set does not require exchanging, the other set does. The task cards are clearly numbered and labelled so that you can easily organise which child should use which cards. Each card has a part, part, whole bar model which the children can use to visualise the question. All the questions are a similar format to support fluency in addition worded problems. They work briliantly with Year 3 -4 children. This resource also includes ‘Become a Maths Master by:’ cards which could be copied onto the back of each of the task cards to extend the children’s learning further. All answers are included. The front sheet gives teachers a ‘How to use’ idea.

Year 4 expected worded fraction lesson. Maths mastery through visualisation, bar modelling and variation. ** SATS revision lesson** - Although a ‘Year 4 expected lesson’ the targetted questions have been taken from past SATS papers. This lesson leads to answering 3 questions taken from Year 4 expected examples from Testbase. For example: ‘My Granny lives 120km away from us. We are driving to see her and are 5/6 of the way there. How far have we driven so far?’ The lesson uses Bar Modelling and Variation (both from Shanghai / Singapore Maths as a part of Maths Mastery) to build children’s skills so they have the tools they need to answer these types of questions independently. CAN BE USED AS SATS REVISION It is presented as one lesson but depending on how long your lesson is, how quickly your children understand the learning and compete the work it may need 2 sessions. It looks at worded problems as short stories and models clearly how to draw bar models from the questions to support answering questions. I have uploaded the lessons and sheets as powerpoints which are easy to adapt if you would like to. There is one powerpoint with the lesson on. The other powerpoint is printables of the bar models for the practise section, the independent activity both as worded questions and as worded questions with bar models to be annotated. There is also challenge activity. I hope this lesson is useful, helps your children learn and saves you some time. This is the first lesson I have uploaded so any feedback would be helpful to me moving forwards. Thank you!

A perfect resource for the Year 4 timestable check. These activities run themselves and can be done daily or a few times a week in the lead up to the timestable check. This resources includes 8 PowerPoints all of which have 25 questions. All timestables are covered and all answers are included. The PowerPoints move to the next question after 6 seconds and clicks as it does so to signal to children that a new question has appeared. A printable score card is also included so children can see how they progress with each practise they complete. I hope that this resources helps and encourages your children and saves you some time.

Number bonds to 10 activity / task cards to be used with small groups of children or one to one. There are over 100 task cards in this set which show different representations of number bonds to 10 including bar models, arrays and calculations. There are also Active Maths cards to get children up and moving while learning. Cards can be printed of and kept and used in sets or, when the children are more confident with the different representations, they can be mixed and used as a whole set. A great resource for you or your TA to have as a go to resource to keep these skills and facts current and practised.

These posters offer an excellent, clear visual display of the relationship between decimals, fractions and percentages. Each of the values are represented in a number of different ways for children to see and understand. A huge part of Maths Mastery is to be able to represent concepts in different ways and making links between different areas of Maths to show deeper understanding and these posters are a perfect example of that. I have these posters displayed year-round above my Maths board for children to refer to both when we are learning about decimals, fractions and percentages, but also as an example of showing the same concept in different ways to support them becoming Maths Masters! There are some options when printing – some poster are identical other than the wording of ‘fourth ‘ and ‘quarter’ so you can choose which you’d like depending on where you are in the World.
