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.

10 questions that check children's understanding of the 10 times table through more complex methods than just giving them a 10 times table test. Included are word problems, reasoning questions and showing the relationship between numbers.
An introductory lesson to light in Year 6. Initially, children will spend time recapping what they can remember from the previous time they studied light before then moving on to considering what light is and what dark is. Children will then think about different light sources and grouping these as well as thinking about why mirrors and the moon aren’t light sources. This will then move on to considering opaque, transparent and translucent and why we get shadows before finishing with a quick mini-quiz.

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.
