Two different worksheets that give the chance to practise multiplying a 3-digit number by a 2-digit number using the written method.
Both worksheets are set out in two ways: one where the questions are just written and children need to set them out and one where they are already set out ready. Answer sheets are also included for both sheets.
The first sheet focuses on multiplying a 3-digit number by a 1-digit number before then multiplying the same 3-digit number by a 2-digit number to introduce the new step. The final questions are then a range of 3-digit by 2-digit to apply the new learning.
The second sheet focuses on multiplying different 3-digit numbers by 2-digit numbers.
There is also a multiplication square attached to support if necessary.
A six lesson unit for electricity that is based on the Year 4 Science curriculum. Included is a work booklet, a support booklet with information, lesson PowerPoints and a knowledge organiser that provides overview of some of the key information.
The 6 lessons are as follows:
Lesson 1: What is electricity and looking at examples of things that use electricity
Lesson 2: Keeping safe with electricity
Lesson 3: Conductors and insulators
Lesson 4: Circuits (this lesson does include a brief look at circuit symbols ahead of Year 6)
Lesson 5: Investigation into circuits
Lesson 6: Review lesson
The information booklet includes key supporting detail and can be printed into a reusable A5 format that signals the booklet is different to the activity booklet. This is then paired up with the work booklet that involves all the key tasks children will complete as part of their learning. The PowerPoints then bring all this work together as well as providing additional questions and information to discuss.
