Are you teaching about number bonds to 10? Are you looking for a way to link your teaching into Bonfire night, Guy Fawkes or Firework night? Then this is the resource for you! You could look at it directly as a presentation and discuss the different calculations being shown in each of the photos. You could print off and laminate the photos to make an interesting, eye-catching display about Guy Fawkes - Number Bonds To Ten. The students could also take the laminated photos and sort them into different Guy Fawkes - Number Bonds To Ten. The students can then discuss how they solve each problem.

A fun way to learn the Polish numbers during Halloween. I have also included a set of Halloween themed worksheets your students could translate into Polish and a set of 31 teaching activities you could use with the pictures from these resources. You could look at it directly as a presentation and discuss the different skeletons being shown in each of the photos. You could print off and laminate the photos to make an interesting, eye-catching display about the Halloween Skeleton Counting Song. The students could also take the laminated photos and sort them into different groups of skeletons. The students can then discuss what they think each skeleton was saying or thinking. The photos could also be used as prompts for creative writing, factual writing or descriptive writing.

Mental Warm Up: What do we know about the number 100? Main Lesson Idea: Today we are going to continue our work finding out about different turns and we are going to learn about a special size of turn called a right angle. Educational Challenges  Cut out a quarter of a circle to make a ‘right angle measurer’. Use it to find things which have right angles.  Make a ‘right angle measurer’. Can you think of things that have corners which are greater than or less than a right angle?

Lesson 3: Week 6 Title Shape and Space Learning Objective:  solve problems and recognise patterns  recognise and describe line symmetry  complete symmetrical patterns. Mental Warm Up: Put these weights into order – heaviest first. Main Lesson Idea: We are going to continue looking for and using lines of symmetry. Educational Challenges  Make symmetrical patterns with paint and paper or pegs and pegboards.  Find symmetrical letters. Make a poster.

I wanted to make Year 6 SATs revision more fun. I have combined each of the 2015 Past SATs papers for maths questions and the marking scheme into a single document. This means that a teacher can now show a single question and get the students to find the answer before moving onto the next question. This makes revision a lot less stressful. I have removed the time limits and of course students can now work in pairs or small teams to discuss their different strategies and answers. It also helps to make the lessons faster paced and snappier as the children start to gain confidence in their abilities to solve maths problems. This resource could be used in the classroom or at home to prepare for the UK Year 6 SATs exams. Students should try all the tests to gain the deepest knowledge of this subject. Please leave me a comment below about this teaching resource.

I have taken the Springboard 4 planning and made simple to use lessons, with everything a teacher needs to teach their lesson. With 20 lessons in the pack, this could be used for booster lessons.

You could look at it directly as a presentation and discuss the different objects for sale and the different stores being shown in each of the photos. This pack contains a 31 Teaching Activity Teacher Guide using these photo flash cards. These activities are quick and fun to do and will improve both your students' memory and vocabulary skills. You could print off and laminate the photos to make an interesting, eye-catching display about shopping. The students could also take the laminated photos and sort them into different types of shops and shopping. The photos could also be used as prompts for creative writing, factual writing or descriptive writing.

Are you looking for Mental Maths Revision Quizzes for Year 6? I have written 24 self marking sets of Mental Maths quizzes for students. The quizzes are similar to those students use for their Year 6 SATS exams. When a student has completed a test, they can instantly see what they got correct, and what they need to work on. The front page of this Excel file is especially interesting for teachers as it provides a summary of the scores the students have achieved as both a table and a bar chart. The teacher simply downloads the Excel file and renames in the student's name. The student could complete these tests at home or in the classroom.
