Why I made this resource Every maths lesson you teach, you give a clear learning outcome (or TBAT or WALT or Success Criteria - whatever it’s called in each school.) Your class follow your carefully planned steps, and succeed. However, in my experience, children then struggle when faced with: -multi-step problems -multi-operation problems -questions without a clear method to use -changes in maths skill required (E.g. suddenly needing to write an answer as a fraction) How to Use These lessons are designed to have limiting teaching beforehand, if at all. Instead, children tackle the real-life situation using a broad range of skills (money, decimals, written methods, mental strategies, converting between fractions and % etc) and get used to: -thinking independently -being less reliant on adults (“learned helplessness”) -using a blend of skills at once What’s included? -20 real-life contexts (whole lessons) which each include: >printable data pages (price lists, menus, information pages, league tables, timetables, fact files, recipes) >15 differentiated questions (Band A = easiest, Band E = hardest. Harder Qs can be trimmed off the page, depending on your maths groups) >Answer sheet

Extensive Notebook document, introducing the subject of ‘mindfulness’ (aimed at Y5/6/7) -22 slides -hyperlinks to two YouTube videos -highly successful and enjoyable (from personal experience) -NOT saved as ‘read-only’, to allow you to make changes as necessary.

A collection of writing aids and tools that I’ve made over a number of years to support writers of all abilities. Designed around the Year 5/6 National Curriculum for Writing. What’s Included? Book Flaps (see photos) -NC Writing Checklists (x3: TARE, ARE, GDS) -Punctuation Hitlist -b/d orientation prompts (useful for Dyslexic children) -Spelling strip -2 sets of homophones Target Setting -Target bookmarks (Y5, Y6) -Target stickers (Y5/6 NC for Writing) Other Tools -Ultimate List: Expressions -Ultimate List: Actions -‘Other Ways to Say…’

A fantastic resource that specifically develops: -creativity -writing speed -enjoying writing -enjoying stories -just writing, rather than overthinking / worrying about grammar, vocab choice etc Recommended for: -reluctant writers (My Y5/Y6 boys love doing 200 Words each week) -slow writers -‘can’t get started’ writers -children who don’t read very much at home / have limited experience of stories How does it work? There are 4 Story Coordinate cards in each set: Character, Situation, Object and Place. Pupils randomly choose a coordinate from each card, giving you four very random story elements (E.g. a mysterious shadow, a hilarious accident, a tiny sword, behind a waterfall.) Set a time limit (my Y5/6 like to be given 10 minutes for this.) Within that time limit, pupils write a short story (or a part of a story) which includes as many of the 4 items as possible. It is important to stress to your pupils that, unlike writing lessons, this task is not about using amazing vocabulary/ broad range of punctuation / your neatest handwriting; it is about being creative, letting go and having fun. What’s incuded? -Notebook document (with an example-page to get you started) -4 x Character cards -4 x Situation cards -4 x Object cards -4 x Place cards
