Two double lessons that focus on securing the concept of written division in Year 5 using a written method and using remainders in context.
The first double lesson focuses on being able to continue practising using written division with 4-digit numbers divided by 1-digit as well as looking at being able to apply remainders in a context where they need to either add another group on or remove the remainder to get the answer.
The second double lesson then continues to provide the chance to practise written division as well as then looking at remainders in terms of money and measurement and being able to create a decimal answer.
Included in both sets of double lessons are a double lesson PowerPoint that includes an arithmetic starter for each lesson, key vocabulary, discussion points and practices. There is then an activity that includes an answer sheet and challenge questions for anyone that finishes with answers again included.
A multiplication grid is also included to support where necessary.
A double lesson for Year 4 that focuses on children being able to partition 3-digit numbers based on their place value.

A 15 lesson unit of work that focuses on being able to complete written multiplication and division.
Included in the 15 lesson sequence is:
Lesson 1 - 3-digit by 1-digit multiplication
Lesson 2 and 3 - 4-digit by 1-digit multiplication
Lesson 4 and 5 - 3-digit by 2-digit multiplication
Lesson 6 and 7 - 4-digit by 2-digit multiplication
Lesson 8 and 9 - 3-digit divided by 1-digit
Lesson 10 and 11 - 4-digit divided by 1-digit
Lesson 12, 13, 14 and 15 - Using written division and applying remainders to the context
Within the lessons, small steps are applied when appropriate such as doing a 4-digit x 1-digit before then doing the same 4-digit number by a 2-digit number that includes the previous 1-digit number.
Most lessons come in double lessons. bar lesson one. Each double lesson includes a double lesson PowerPoint that includes an arithmetic starter for every lesson, key vocabulary, modelling, discussion and practice before moving onto an independent activity and challenge tasks that stretch over the two lessons. Answer sheets are included for all independent activities and challenge tasks.
The single lesson at the start has all the same features but only has a single lesson PowerPoint.
Also included within each lesson pack is a multiplication square should it be needed for support.

A lesson aimed at the Year 3 Science unit of Plants. This lesson is the third lesson of a sequence, looking at how water is transported through a plant. The lesson presentation includes a recap from a previous lesson (can easily be omitted if you want this lesson as a one off) before then looking at the important parts of a plant in transporting water and how this happens.
This is then followed by an independent activity that requires children to apply what has been discussed by labelling the parts involved and describing the process. This is then followed by a challenge question to provide the chance to reason. An answer sheet and support sheet are also included. This is then followed up with an experiment to end using white carnations and food colouring to show water transportation.
There is also a copy of the recap task included.
A lesson aimed at the Year 3 Science unit of Plants. This lesson is the fourth lesson of a sequence, looking at the different parts of a flower. The lesson presentation includes a recap from a previous lesson (can easily be omitted if you want this lesson as a one off) before then looking at the parts of a flower and the different roles they have.
This is then followed by an independent activity that requires children to apply what has been discussed by labelling the parts of a flower and matching parts of a flower to a description of what they do. This is then followed by a challenge question to provide the chance to reason. An answer sheet and support sheet are also included.
There is also a copy of the recap task included.
