This is a PowerPoint presentation of a sequence of 12 lessons which I taught to my year 4 class, in the Autumn Term, on place value. Each lesson has a starter, practice questions (for class to do on whiteboards), printable worksheets, challenge questions and answers to display on board so children can mark their own work. Lessons 1, 11 and 12 doesn’t have answers because the worksheet is too big to display on interactive whiteboard.
Lesson 1: Place value of 4-digit number
Lesson 2: Partitioning 4-digit numbers
Lesson 3: Adding 10, 100 and 1000
Lesson 4: Read and write numbers to 10,000
Lesson 5: Read and write numbers to 10,000 (with progression)
Lesson 6: Rounding numbers to 10 or 100
Lesson 7: Rounding numbers to 10 or 100
Lesson 8: Comparing and ordering numbers
Lesson 9: Comparing and ordering numbers
Lesson 10: Comparing and ordering numbers
Lesson 11: Negative numbers
Lesson 12: Negative numbers (with progression)
I have three lessons on comparing numbers because my class were not so confident with this.
This a lesson I used to teach my year 4 class in the autumn term to revise the units, tens, hundreds and thousands place value columns. The practice questions are a mix of word problems and pictorial questions involving counters. The worksheets are differentiated for lower attainting, middle attaining and higher attaining. There is a challenge question to display while your class are completing their independent work fot the pupils who finish early.
These are three lessons that I did with my year 6 class.
Lesson 1: looks at finding the missing angle on a straight line and around a whole turn. On the PowerPoint, there is a printable worksheet which is differentiated for LA, MA and HA mathematicians. The answers are on the next slide. You could use these to get the class to self-mark and save your valuable teacher time!
Lesson 2: revises learning from day before then moves onto finding the missing angles in triangles. My class had a basic knowledge of the features of an equilateral and isosceles prior to this but the lesson offers a brief opportunity to revise the features. On the PowerPoint, there is a printable worksheet which is differentiated for LA, MA and HA mathematicians. The answers are on the next slide.
Lesson 3: this is a reasoning lesson during which I sent out my LAs to work with my TA on MA work from day before. The lesson looks at opposite angles and finding missing angles in diagrams that contain triangles. There is a Word document worksheet for MAs and HAs.
This lesson is one I taught to my year 6 class. The teaching covers a range of properties of 2D shapes. Regular or irregular, parallel and perpendicular lines, types of angles (reflex, acute, right angle or obtuse), names of shapes.
The lesson finishes with the class filling out a table identifying features of 2D shapes mentioned in the main teaching. These are differentiated for LA, MA and HA.
This is a lesson that I used to teach my year 6 class about finding the area of a rectangle and of composite shapes (we did a lesson on perimter the day before). The lesson starts off with a starter finding the perimeter. It then offers opportunities to discuss the meaning of perimeter and area and to model the method. Next, there are slides with differentiated practice questions for the class to do on their whiteboards. The answers are on the next slides so that you can quickly check their work. On the penultimate slide there is the Learning Objective and a challenge to complete once they’ve finished their work. Worksheets are differentiated for LAs, MAs and HAs. I have included the answers for worksheets too to make teacher marking easier or for you to give to your class to mark their own work!
This is a complete lesson that I gave to my year 6 class on rounding decimal numbers with up to 3 decimal places to the nearest whole, tenth and hundredth; it includes differentiated practice questions which can be done on whiteboards (with answers on a separate slide), a (differentiated) worksheet slide which you can print off or get your class to work from the board and choose their own level.
The lesson also includes a slide with the answers to save our valuable teacher time. Why not get your class to self-assess at the end of the lesson?
The lesson is differentiated three ways for lower attaining, middle attaining and higher.
An entire lesson on finding the radius and diameter of circles used to teach my year 6 class. The lesson has chances for the teacher to discuss and model the method, differentiated practice slides and a final three slides which can be printed off as a worksheets, starting with LA, then MA and HA. Finally, I have included challenge questions which can be displayed while the children are working independently and that they can complete when they have finished.
This lesson includes a PowerPoint that has differentiated practice questions and the answers. The practice questions are multi-step word problems involving multiplication, addition, subtraction and one with multiplication of decimals (money context) and working out the change.
The worksheets are differentiated for HA, MA and LA with questions similar to those of the slides.
This year 6 whole lesson included many differentiated practice questions on subtracting and adding decimal numbers with up to 3dp. It also includes a slide for independent work which is differentiated (3 ways: Lower, middle and higher) that is printable or the children can choose their level off the board. Answers are on the final slide. Get pupils to correct their work in another colour pen!
This is a complete year 6 lesson on simplifying fractions into their simplest form; it includes differentiated practice questions, a printable (differentiated) worksheet and the answers to save our valuable teacher time. Why not get your class to self-assess at the end of the lesson?
These three lessons on the order of operations (made for my class when home learning) contain lots of differentiated practice questions . Each lesson has a slide with questions differentiated 3 ways for independent work after teaching. This can be printed off or they can work from the interactive whiteboard (if you want to save paper). I have included the answers so that you can get your class to self-mark or just to speed up your marking process (and save your valuable teacher time!).
This a lesson I used to teach my year 4 class in the autumn term on partitioning numbers up to 10,000. The practice questions (for whiteboards) are differentiated for lower, middle and higher attaining pupils and have answers on the next slide to facilitate marking.
The worksheets (which are on a printable slide) are differentiated for lower attaining, middle attaining and higher attaining. The answers are also on a slide to make marking quicker or for you to display at the end of the lesson so you pupils can mark their own work and save your valuable teacher time.
There is a challenge question to display while your class are completing their independent work for the pupils who finish early.

This PowerPoint lesson (which contains animated slides) s plenty of visual explanations of dividing a fraction by a whole number (by finding the equivalent fraction) and also the quicker method. Prior learning recommended: equivalent fractions and putting fractions into their simplest form.
There are lots of differentiated practice questions with the answers of the next slide.
For independent work, there is a differentiated slide which can be printed as a worksheet or the pupils can work from the board (if you want to save paper!). While they are completing their independent work, you can display the slide with the challenge on it which they can complete when they’ve finished.
I have included the answers at the end to save teacher time -why not get your class to mark their own work!
This lesson begins with an activity to see if your year 6s can remember their place value columns by asking them a few questions like this one: What column in the nine in? (in 1,895,765)
It then moves onto ‘Guess my number’ where the teacher first models how to do it by saying: My number has 8 hundreds, 4 ten thousands, 2 millions, 7 units. What is my number? Can you write it in digits. To model this, the teacher could use a place value matt or suggest that the children write out the place value columns to support themselves. Challenge write the number in words. This is then followed by similar differentiated practice questions.
At the end of the PowerPoint, there is a slide which has three levels. Blue= LA, Orange = MA and Red= HA. There is another slide which is for children below LA. I usually print these sheets off and hand them out accordingly or allow the children to choose their level of confidence! The answers for each question are included on following slides.
While the class are working independently, I display the slide with the Learning Objective, spellings and challenge questions which they can complete when they have finished.
This is a full lesson with plenty of practice questions on improper fractions and mixed numbers. It also includes a final slide that is printable for independent work after main teaching. This can be printed as a worksheet and is differentiated three times. Blue for lower attaining, orange of middle and red for higher attaining. The answers are at the end. Why not save your valuable teacher time and get the children to mark their own work?
