The Big Book of Fractions includes a range of fraction topics within it over 95 pages including: What a fraction is Colouring fractions Representing fractions Equivalent fractions including simplifying Comparing fractions Finding fractions of amounts including finding original numbers - Using the bar model Converting between mixed and improper fractions Adding fractions Subtracting fractions Multiplying fractions by whole numbers Multiplying fractions by fractions Dividing fractions by whole numbers Fractions, decimals and percentages equivalence Glossary of what particular terms mean Within this there are help sheets, showing how to do different operations with fractions through the maths and also through showing pictorial representations, generally using the bar model. After the help sheets most topics include practise questions and then questions that challenge children's fluency, reasoning and problem solving abilities. This can be used for a range of things, whether it be just to print the help sheets to encourage children to be independent or to give children a practise activity or activity that requires them to think more deeply.

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.

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 version of a potential calculation policy that people can use for ideas to help in developing their own. Each year group is broken down in to the 4 operations, identifying mental and written methods and linking to other strands in the curriculum. Written methods are kept to a minimum to ensure children become 'experts' in that method and to ensure consistency throughout teaching.

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 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.

A set of three differentiated worksheets that work on variables in algebraic form for Year 6 children e.g. c + d = 29. Having used a similar format in my own lessons, these sheets often provide enough challenge for two days lessons, with children taking on the easier work then moving on to harder challenges within the other sheets. These have all been made with mastery in mind and so follow this pattern. Worksheet One - Works on practise and fluency (LA) Worksheet Two - Practise, fluency and reasoning (MA) Worksheet Three - Practise, fluency, reasoning and problem solving (HA) Worksheet Four - Same as worksheet three as a spare for anybody who finishes problem solving Answers, where appropriate) are included for each sheet.

Complete set of planning, slides and worksheets to provide 10 lessons on algebra. This has been written with Year 6 in mind but the resources are easily adaptable for other year groups. The worksheets have written with mastery in mind and so follow the following structure: Worksheet One - Works on practise and fluency (LA) Worksheet Two - Practise, fluency and reasoning (MA) Worksheet Three - Practise, fluency, reasoning and problem solving (HA) Worksheet Four - Practise, fluency, reasoning and problem solving (This is a spare worksheet should children finish problem solving on worksheet three) All worksheets include answers. Differentiation is achieved through self-assessment of own abilities to choose which worksheet they do. Lesson 1 and 2 - Simple formula Lesson 3 and 4 - Expressing problems algebraically Lesson 5 and 6 - Satisfying an equation Lesson 7 and 8 - Satisfying two variables Lesson 9 and 10 - Number sequences These have had great success in previous lessons and challenge and stretch children of all abilities.
