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.

An entire two lessons on multiplying decimal numbers that I have used to teach my year 6 class. The lesson has starters, chances for the teacher to discuss and model the method, differentiated practice slides and a final slide which can be printed off as a worksheet. 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. I have included the answers on a separate slide which you can use to get your class to mark their own work or just make the teacher’s marking quicker!

This is is the fourth lesson I did with my year 6 class on dividing fractions. It’s a PowerPoint lesson (which contains animated slides) 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 offers your class practice for the different kinds of addition and subtraction that come up in the arithmatic SATs paper. e.g. = 897 - 567 (equal on the left side) 567.8 + 34.98 = 10-8.66 = You can discuss and model the different methods that your class can use to answer these questions (e.g. the number line) The worksheets are differentiated three ways: LA=*, MA=** and HA= ***. The answers are at the end of the word document to save time.

This lesson begins with opportunities to discuss as a class how you would add/subtract 10, 100 and 1000 from a number without using the formal written method. It then has differentiated practice questions and the answers for your class to complete on their whiteboards. One penultimate slide can be printed off as a worksheet and has 3 levels (Blue for LA, Orange for MA and red for HA). The last slide is the answers to these questions for you to use or for you to get your class to self mark and save you some time! While the class are working independently, I always display the third last slide that has the Learning Objective on it and two challenge questions for children to complete if they finish early and need an extra push.

This is a complete lesson on reading and writing numbers to over 10 million; 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?

This is a complete lesson on square and cube numbers; it includes a starter, opportunities to model methods, reason about square numbers, differentiated practice questions, a printable (differentiated) worksheet, challenge question and the answers to save our valuable teacher time. Why not get your class to self-assess at the end of the lesson?

This is a complete lesson on subtracting fractions with denominators that are multiples of the same number; 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? I did two days of adding and subracting fractions with my class -one day on subtracting fractions and another day practising adding them.

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 an entire lesson on Powerpoint with lots of practice questions and a printable differentiated worksheet at the end.

This is a complete lesson that I gave to my year 6 class on the formal written method of addition with up to 3 decimal places; 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 adding and subtracting fractions that I have used to teach my year 6 class. The lesson has mental starter, chances for the teacher to discuss and model the method, differentiated practice slides and a final slide which can be printed off as a worksheet. 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. I have included the answers on a separate slide which you can use to get your class to mark their own work or just make the teacher’s marking quicker!

This is an entire lesson on comparing fractions that I have used to teach my year 6 class in the Summer term as it is comparing improper fractions alongside proper.

This is an entire lesson on algebra which I did with my year 6 class. The lesson includes lots of differentiated practice questions and a printable differentiated worksheet for independent work at the end. The answers are on the last slide. Challenge question which they can complete after finishing independent work.

This is a lesson that I did with my year 6 class to solidify their understanding of fraction, decimal and percentage equivalents. I taught them how to convert a fraction into a percentage by finding the equivalent fraction with a denominator of 100. (e.g. 3/4 = 75/100=75%) but also told them, in the end, they need to know these off by heart. This lesson also really strengthened their understanding of equivalent fractions. I started with a starter of putting fractions into their simplest form. Then looking at the different ways we can represent parts of a whole (decimals, fractions and percentages). There are lots of chances for the teacher to model the method and differentiated practice questions for the class to complete on their whiteboards. (I always freeze the board so that I can see the answers to these and move the children onto the challenge if they get the answer correct). There is a slide that is a printable worksheet for independent work (differentiated 3 ways) or can be displayed on the board to get the class to choose their own level of confidence). I display a slide with the LO and challenge question usually while the class are working independently. I have included the answers so you can mark quicker or get the class to mark their own work! Print off the SATs style question to stick in their books when you’re marking.
