A set of three differentiated worksheets that work on calculating the perimeter of shapes 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
Answers are included for each sheet.

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 range of IWB slides that offer ideas for what to teach and different questions for teaching Year 6 ratio. These are to act as a starting point to be added to/ edited for regular lessons though they can be readily used as well.

A reading comprehension that includes a fact file about The Colosseum and is then followed up with three differentiated worksheets that check their comprehension skills (answers included).
11 different worksheets that each have a different algebraic activity. These include: calculating answers when given what each letter represents; having to work out what each letter represents with various degrees of challenge; having to come up with numbers to make a number sentence make sense; simplifying equations and solving a puzzle of shapes and what each one is worth.
A worksheet that provides a variety of questions linked to being able to use commas appropriately/ identify where commas are being used or aren’t being used correctly.
Included as part of the worksheet are 11 different questions that provide variation to check understanding through the use of different question styles and through the way commas are being used. This includes commas being used to:
Mark items in a list
Mark fronted adverbials

A fully planned and resourced writing unit working on creating a setting description based on a storm with thunder and lightning.
Included in the resource is:
Lesson PowerPoints
Activity resources
Fronted adverbial word bank
Word bank linked to storms
Drafting sheet adapted from Single Paragraph Outline
Example texts
Starter activities for the first five lessons with answers included
A writing skills booklet that links to storms that can be used separately elsewhere to support writing in the unit
Notes for the planning and the aims of the lesson
With drafting and redrafting, as well as then publishing a final piece, there should be enough lessons for between 8 and 10 lessons. The first few lessons work on developing ideas and sentence construction ahead of the writing process with a lesson on developing vocabulary ideas, unpicking example texts, working on fronted adverbials and redrafting sentences forming the first four lessons. Where activities are used, these sentences also link purposefully to writing about storms to develop understanding further.
This then leads into drafting and redrafting, including teacher modelling and providing feedback based on how pupils write, with the previous activities and word banks still being available to support during the writing process.
Due to copyright, you will need to source an image to base the writing on - this needs to be a picture of a lightning storm and would preferably be set over a water scene - this is however reflected in the price and all resources uploaded are in PowerPoint format so they can be edited as required, including the lesson PowerPoints that include notes for teaching and where to add your own image
A fully planned and resourced writing unit working on creating a set of instructions for mummification.
Included in the resource is:
Lesson PowerPoints
Lesson activities including a sequencing task and a editing task
Fronted adverbials and imperative verbs word mat
Instructions knowledge organiser
Model text
With drafting and redrafting, as well as then publishing a final piece, there should be enough lessons for between 6 and 8 lessons. The ‘lessons’ as they appear on the PowerPoint may take more than one ‘lesson’ and form sequences of learning. The first step is looking at the features of instructions, including a focus on the knowledge organiser before then identifying these in the model text.
The second sequence then moves on to being able to sequence the steps of mummification when given a set of instructions that can then be improved as part of a challenge. This moves on to then taking a simple set of instructions and improving them, with teacher modelling and guided practice before completing the activity.
This then leads into drafting and redrafting, including teacher modelling and providing feedback based on how pupils write, with the previous activities and word banks still being available to support during the writing process.
A worksheet that provides a variety of questions linked to being able to divide whole numbers by 10.
