This is a helpful presentation looking at how to use the Singapore Bar Model. Singapore Bar is growing in popularity in this country due to the success of Singapore in the PISA tables for Maths, with the methods shown helping children break down problems in a much simpler way. This presentation goes through different models of the bar and how to apply it to a range of problems with step by step details for each problem. It can be used to help individuals become more confident with the methods and applying them or could also be used to help begin to lead staff training on the method.

A mat that looks at being able to add and subtract fractions, multiply fractions together and by whole numbers and being able to divide fractions by whole numbers.

A set of lesson plans aimed at designing a way through units of measurement and specific elements of shape. Each lesson can take up to 2 sessions so with 10 lessons there are up to 20 sessions of planning ideas here. Can be used to design PowerPoints that then run the lesson before creating worksheets that practise or take elements further. I have used White Rose materials to then help me with this but you may have resources, workbooks or sheets that you would rather use. The primary purpose of this resource is to give ideas of how to design lessons, not provide the lessons themselves.

An activity that gives children number facts for the 3x table within triangles with children then having to find all the facts they can from the given numbers. This can work well as a starter and helps children see the commutative whilst seeing the link of operations. Children can then be extended to think about how the = sign can move around and what fraction facts they can find.

36 question practice paper for Year 6 ahead of the statutory assessments that combines both elements of the arithmetic paper and problem solving and reasoning. Questions have been taken from a range of sources including some examples from previous papers to help prepare children for some of the types of questions they may come across.

A simple triangle that can be used as a resource/ poster to support lessons teaching the order of operations. The triangle aims to highlight the link between division and multiplication and addition and subtraction rather than working down the list of words.

A lesson that focuses on being able to calculate the area of triangles. Included is the teaching aspect, practice questions, a misconception question and challenge questions taken from WRM. Also included are pink bubbles to support and green bubbles to provide extra challenge.

A worksheet that requires children to practise being able to find fractions of amounts. As well as a number of practise questions there are then also reasoning/ problem solving style questions with the answers also included.

A PowerPoint lesson that focuses on the objective of substitutions from the Year 6 WRM planning. There is an arithmetic starter included as well as a number of questions to work through (including pink and green bubbles for support and challenge) where answers can then be discussed. Finally, reasoning and problem solving tasks from WRM are included.

A worksheet that gets children to practise spotting links that can help them simplify an algebraic equation. This is done through pyramids that meet together at the top as a simplified calculation. Included is an example before children work on filling in missing gaps and finally creating their own examples.

10 questions that check children's understanding of the 4 times table through more complex methods than just giving them a 4 times table test. Included are word problems, reasoning questions and showing the relationship between numbers.

Four challenge questions that involve reasoning or problem solving with questions linked to one-digit multiplication. Answers are also included.

A PowerPoint that includes various example questions from previous arithmetic papers. These include models of how to solve it to discuss (except for x and divide by powers of 10) and practice questions to then apply what they have seen.

A fully resourced place value lesson for being able to represent numbers to 1000 in Year 3 based on the objective from White Rose Maths. Included in the resource is: A lesson PowerPoint with starter, vocabulary, modelling (with teacher notes) and guided practice Lesson plan Worksheet with answer sheet Scaffolded worksheet with answer sheet Modified worksheet for those who need additional changes to access the learning with answers Challenge tasks Support strips that can be stuck in books Place value grids for support Everything is included that could be needed to run the lesson successfully, with each resource carefully considered in ensuring accessibility for all as well as ensuring there are plenty of opportunities for challenge to provide depth of understanding.

Five lessons that form a week focusing on being able to work with number bonds and being able to partition numbers. The lesson sequence for the week is as follows: Lesson 1 and 2 - Bonds within and up to 10 Lesson 3 and 4 - Bonds within 20 Lesson 5 - Partitioning numbers Each lesson has a lesson PowerPoint with vocabulary, discussion, practice and then time for activities. There is an activity per lesson and challenge activities for each lesson to check children’s understanding. Lesson 1 and 2 and then lesson 3 and 4 act as double lessons with the majority of teaching being done in the first lesson before a chance for a recap and to address any misconceptions in the second lesson. The lessons work as either an introduction for the first time or as a recap/ introduction back into maths following the holidays.

A worksheet that provides a variety of questions linked to being able to multiply a 2-digit number by a 1-digit number. Included as part of the worksheet are 6 different questions that provide variation to check understanding through the use of different models, representations and question styles. There is also an extension task that provides challenge with a further 4 questions. Answers are also included for all questions. This worksheet can easily be used as a worksheet when teaching the objective or used for recap/ revision or even to be sent home as homework.

A worksheet that provides a variety of questions linked to being able to multiply and divide using the 8x table. Included as part of the worksheet are 9 different questions that provide variation to check understanding through the use of different models, representations and question styles. This includes trying to get pupils to identify links and patterns to support their answers. There is also an extension task that provides challenge through looking at increasing by multiples of 8. Answers are also included for all questions. Can easily be used as a worksheet when teaching the objective or used for recap/ revision or even to be sent home as homework.

A worksheet that provides a variety of questions linked to being able to multiply and divide using the 3x table. Included as part of the worksheet are 10 different questions that provide variation to check understanding through the use of different models, representations and question styles. This includes trying to get pupils to identify links and patterns to support their answers. There is also an extension task that provides challenge through looking at increasing by multiples of 3. Answers are also included for all questions. Can easily be used as a worksheet when teaching the objective or used for recap/ revision or even to be sent home as homework.

A worksheet that provides a variety of questions linked to being able to multiply and divide using the 4x table. Included as part of the worksheet are 10 different questions that provide variation to check understanding through the use of different models, representations and question styles. This includes trying to get pupils to identify links and patterns to support their answers. There is also an extension task that provides challenge through looking at increasing by multiples of 4. Answers are also included for all questions. Can easily be used as a worksheet when teaching the objective or used for recap/ revision or even to be sent home as homework.
