A set of questions based on exploring the powers of 10 question from the KS2 2018 Maths Reasoning 3 paper.

A set of questions based on the Angel of the North question from the KS2 2018 Reasoning 3 paper.

A PowerPoint and example questions that stem from the hexagon question from the 2018 KS2 Maths Reasoning 2 paper where children were given the value of two lots of shapes and had to work out that the difference was a missing hexagon.

An arithmetic style lesson that focuses on being able to add and subtract fractions. The lesson begins with six starter questions involving the use of the 5x table before moving on to focussing on fractions. There are examples and practice questions for same denominator and denominators that are linked before a variation question where the denominators aren’t a common multiple. Slides include pink bubbles for support and green bubbles for challenge. This then leads on to the activity with answers provided and two challenge activities should they be required.

The KS2 Arithmetic paper for 2017 completed with all the answers being wrong. The aim is then for children to work through and identify mistakes/ what the correct answer is. Many of these are based on misconceptions or silly mistakes that children make.

An activity that challenges the understanding of the 5x table by manipulating what they multiply by so it either goes up in multiples of 5 or shows a pattern from what they have.

Two lessons on volume that introduce the concept, thinking about cubes and cuboids and their properties initially. This then moves on to working through practice examples and questions where there is chance for children to practice before seeing if they are right. Included are pink and green bubbles to support and challenge before it then moves on to one of the two activity sheets. The second lesson then follows up with some recap before focussing on challenge questions before children continue with their activity, checking mistakes and finishing off challenge questions.

A lesson focussing on finding fractions of amounts through an arithmetic style lesson. Included is an example of the bar model and the idea of dividing by 4 in different ways before working through practice questions where questions can then be remodelled each time. Following on is an activity and two challenges (one taken from Year 6 WRM).

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 whole PowerPoint lesson on what a triangle is and also what it isn’t. The lesson uses a range of questions including from WRM across a number of year groups as well as having green challenge bubbles to get children to think deeper.

A number of challenges based on the La Liga league table following the games weekend 16.3-17.3.19. Included are challenges that require use of the four operations, consideration of negative numbers and algebraic variations.

A number of challenges based on the Championship league table following the games weekend 16.3-17.3.19. Included are challenges that require use of the four operations, consideration of negative numbers and algebraic variations.

A PowerPoint lesson that focuses on the objective of calculating the area of quadrilaterals 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 as well as a challenge question looking at area differently through a composite shape.

Two lessons made for Year 5/6 that takes on an arithmetic style lesson but incorporates challenge through green bubbles, variation and challenge questions taken from the NCETM documents. The lessons focus on the link between operations so that children can identify missing numbers in an incomplete equation before beginning to look at this algebraically.

A lesson made for Year 5/6 that takes on an arithmetic style lesson but incorporates challenge through green bubbles, variation and challenge questions. The lesson focuses on the link between operations so that children can identify missing numbers in an incomplete equation before beginning to look at this algebraically.

A series of PowerPoint lesson that focuses on some of the algebra objectives from the Year 6 WRM planning including variables, one step functions, two step functions and substitutions. 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. Also included is a two lesson PowerPoint and activity focusing on finding the values of letters when they are a set value as part of an equation. Answers are included with the worksheet that provides practice and challenge. There is also a PowerPoint full of previous SATs questions that link to algebra or can be shown to link to algebra. Finally, there are some puzzles to work out the value of shapes and a Premier League table activity that has potential variables.

Previous questions from KS2 SATs papers that include algebra or can be shown algebraically for children to work through one at a time before discussing the questions as a class.

A PowerPoint lesson that focuses on the objective of variables 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 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 number of challenges based on the Premier League table following the games weekend 9-10.3.19. Included are challenges that require use of the four operations, consideration of negative numbers and algebraic variations.
