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.
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.
Complete set of planning, slides and worksheets to provide 14 lessons on the four operations, working between written methods, mental methods and also working on the order of operations. 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
Worksheet Two - Practise, fluency and reasoning
Worksheet Three - Practise, fluency, reasoning and problem solving
Worksheet Four - Practise, fluency, reasoning and problem solving (This is a spare worksheet should children finish problem solving on worksheet three)
Differentiation is achieved through self-assessment of own abilities to choose which worksheet they do. The worksheets will be clear in which is LA, MA and HA.
Lesson 1 and 2 - Column addition and subtraction
Lesson 3 and 4 - Same as Lesson 1 and 2 but with decimal numbers
Lesson 5 and 6 - Adding and subtracting mentally
Lesson 7 and 8 - Written multiplication
Lesson 9 and 10 - Written division
Lesson 11 and 12 - Mental multiplication
Lesson 13 and 14 - Order of operations
These have had great success in previous lessons and challenge and stretch children of all abilities.
Three differentiated worksheets that work on algebraic equations for Year 6 children. 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
Worksheet Two - Practise, fluency and reasoning
Worksheet Three - Practise, fluency, reasoning and problem solving
Three differentiated worksheets that work on decimals and fractions for Year 5 children. 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
Worksheet Two - Practise, fluency and reasoning
Worksheet Three - Practise, fluency, reasoning and problem solving
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.
Activities that require children to use known facts to then be able to reason how to solve other calculations. Each page gives children a known fact and then calculations where the numbers have been manipulated and a box where they can explain how to use the known fact to find the answer.
A lesson that focuses on being able to translate shapes. Included is a PowerPoint for the lesson that includes an arithmetic starter as well as an activity with answers and four challenge activities for those that are confident.
A lesson 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 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. Also included is an 11x starter that gets them to then see the inverse.
Activities that require children to use known facts to then be able to reason how to solve other calculations. Each page gives children a known fact and then calculations where the numbers have been manipulated and a box where they can explain how to use the known fact to find the answer.
Two sets of sheets with two place value grids on that can be photocopied and sliced up to be used. The place value grid follows the idea of splitting the place values into threes to help show how thousands and millions truly work as well as signposting where commas should go with the second place value grid then including up to three decimal places.
Also included are place value counters. They all say 1, 10 or 100 on them but have the colour of the place value section they belong to. They have been created this way rather than saying 10,000 on so that children can gain a better understanding of the values within each three sets and the reason for 0.
A coloured chart that helps children revise the different fraction, decimals and percentages. Can be used for display or stuck in books/ organisers for children to revise from.
A lesson input presentation of being able to find fractions of amounts using the Bar Model. Included is also a practise sheet that children can use on the practise questions.
A set of three differentiated worksheets that work on mental addition and subtraction for Year 5 children. 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 are included for each sheet.
112 slides with 5 questions on each that act as quick oral/mental starter questions. These cover a range of topics that children in Year 5 and 6 will cover in Maths. These can be used as a quick starter for children to work through with answers then being looked at as continual mini-teaching moments.
These include:
Adding and subtracting fractions.
Multiplying and dividing fractions.
Finding fractions of quantities,
Simplifying fractions and finding equivalent fractions.
Using written methods for division, multiplication, addition and subtraction.
Multiplying and dividing by 10,100 and 1000.
Finding perimeter and area of shapes.
Finding percentages of numbers.
Calculating using negative numbers.
An assessment that can be used to check children's knowledge and understanding when it comes to converting measures. Written with Year 6 in mind but could be used in other year groups. It can be used as a pre and post teaching assessment or a post teaching assessment to check what children have retained. Answers are included.
10 practise Arithmetic papers with 20 questions in each to use for practise in Year 6 ahead of the new Key Stage 2 Arithmetic assessment. These questions have been formed by using the exemplar material and other practise papers released. These have then been used to look at the type of questions that appear regularly, with these then being tested regularly throughout the various tests.
It will provide children with test practise as well as regularly being able to review what children understand and what they still need to work on.
A lesson presentation and activity sheet that goes with it for practise questions. The focus is being able to find fractions of amounts by using the bar model to support them with an example, six practise questions that link to the sheet and a reasoning style question.
This is then followed up with 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 bundle of seven different sets of worksheets for fractions within Year 6.
Each set of three differentiated worksheets that work on multiplying fractions together for Year 6 children. 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
