I currently work at the top end of Primary school in Year 5/6. I create resources for a range of subjects and am always open to suggestions for resources people require.

Two sets of three differentiated worksheets that focus on being able to find fractions of numbers, beginning with finding halves and quarters before then moving on to thirds and other fractions. This then moves on to finding non-unit fractions.
Useful for Year 3 and possibly 4.
Posters for the 2x to the 12x table that takes each fact and highlights how they are commutative as well as showing the inverse operation.
Can also be used as mats to help children when multiplying and dividing.
A worksheet that requires children to decide whether the shown angle is acute or obtuse. Children can then spend time measuring the angles afterwards to practise using a protractor.
This is a helpful sheet that is used to show children how to complete a three digit by two digit multiplication. Each step is colour coded to help show children what they need to do before then moving on to the next step. This helps give children independence whilst ensuring they have help if they go wrong through a step by step guide.
A mini-assessment for children based on a number of fraction topics. The idea of this assessment is to give them it before they begin a unit on fractions and then after again with improvement being shown in their knowledge and understanding. Questions towards the end also include elements of reasoning to show a deeper understanding.
N.B: Written with Year 6 in mind.
Answers are included on a separate page.
Attached is a look at how to improve Maths throughout a whole primary school.
Through the mastery powerpoint you will be given insight into research that looks at how schools can deliver a mastery approach for all children. This will include examples of how to use these through methods I have used myself.

An introduction to fractions, briefly explaining what a numerator and denominator are, what a unit and non-unit fraction are and what an improper and a mixed number fraction are. Useful mat to have in front of children to remind them or to have on display as a reminder.
A range of resources to help children with different areas of Maths.
Included are:
A Maths game that works on revising some key vocabulary such as prime numbers, multiples and using the greater than and less than symbol as well as opening up varied discussion about why particular numbers fit where they do or why they should be used elsewhere. Everything needed to play this is attached including an explanation of the rules. Perfect for a starter, plenary or just for a 5-10 minute break where they can practise some reasoning activities.
Triangle facts - Multiplication or additions that work together to fill the gaps
Reasoning strategies - A list of potential ways to check children's reasoning abilities
Reasoning speech bubbles - Example speech bubbles of how to begin answers to reasoning questions
Part to whole bar models - Two part and three part bar models with an answer on top and numbers below that make it - Works for all operations
Part to whole circles - Two part and three part circles with an answer on the left and numbers to the right that make it - Works for all operations
Number fact circle - A number in the middle surrounded by facts around the outside e.g. 50 in the middle and 10 x 5 outside in one circle
Number fact circle 2 - Branching facts that feed into one another
Attached is a presentation with 2 sets of 5 questions and a third set with 7 questions that acts as a teaching point for solving equations, using the bar model to help picture equations and answers afterwards.
The presentation is available as both a Notebook and PowerPoint. Also included is a worksheet that gets children to practise as you are delivering the input, checking understanding and helping develop their confidence. Take children through the five questions together at the same pace, ensuring that most if not all children are confident and ready to start their activities following the input.
These are based on ideas from Singapore and Shanghai and have worked extremely well with children, leading to children who normally struggle talking through methods to the class.
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 simple sheet that recaps how to find 10, 5 and 1% as well as turning percentages in to fractions or decimals. Also includes a couple of questions for children to practise.
Two sheets that look at helping children understand how to convert from an improper fraction to a mixed number fraction and vice versa. Both include pictorial representations to help children understand what the fraction looks like as well as having a colour coded step of instructions to complete it mathematically.
