A resource which helps children to identify which unit of measurement should be used to measure different lengths. The four units of measurements included are: mm, cm, m and km. Children to choose a colour for each unit of measurement and indicate these on the key. They will then use the key to highlight each length according to the unit of measurement they believe should be used to measure each different length. My class enjoyed completing this activity and responded well to the real-life links. Enjoy!

This Equivalent Fractions bundle includes: A YouTube teaching video to support this learning (with over 15k views) A teaching PowerPoint with 47 slides Over 20 interactive activities/games 10 worksheets for children to complete This sequence of learning covers the following National Curriculum statutory requirements: recognise, find and write fractions of a discrete set of objects: unit fractions and nonunit fractions with small denominators recognise and use fractions as numbers: unit fractions and non-unit fractions with small denominators recognise and show, using diagrams, equivalent fractions with small denominators recognise and show, using diagrams, families of common equivalent fractions solve problems that involve all of the above.

An angles lesson I’m very proud of after seeing great progress in the classroom and being graded outstanding for this lesson. Complete lesson plan is included!! This lesson introduces angles and teaches the difference between right, acute and obtuse angles. This PowerPoint also includes 4 activities including using a hungry angle monster to hunt for right angles and using lollipop sticks to complete an angle investigation. The end of this PowerPoint leads nicely onto learning about triangles and using the children’s learning on angles to move onto this. I’ve also included all my resources included in this lesson, including definition cards and an extension spotting angles in clock faces.

A fantastic and engaging game that my class love. Simply give each child a card and get them to walk around the classroom. When they meet another child, they should high five them and say, “Quiz, quiz, trade.” Each child then asks the other child their question, when they both give the correct answers, they can trade cards and then continue to move around until they meet somebody else. If a child gets the answer one, a child can help support them by prompting/giving clues as they have the correct answer on their card. My class absolutely love this game and don’t realise just how much they’re learning when they play it!

Included is a 3 week plan for a lower key stage 2 class (year 3/4) on Fractions. This plan is extremely detailed with diagrams and resources included! The following statutory requirements of the national curriculum are covered: YEAR 3 Pupils should be taught to: • count up and down in tenths; recognise that tenths arise from dividing an object into 10 equal parts and in dividing one-digit numbers or quantities by 10 • recognise, find and write fractions of a discrete set of objects: unit fractions and non-unit fractions with small denominators • recognise and use fractions as numbers: unit fractions and non-unit fractions with small denominators • recognise and show, using diagrams, equivalent fractions with small denominators • add and subtract fractions with the same denominator within one whole [for example, 5/7 + 1/7 = 6/7 ] • compare and order unit fractions, and non-unit fractions with the same denominators • solve problems that involve all of the above YEAR 4 Pupils should be taught to: • recognise and show, using diagrams, families of common equivalent fractions • count up and down in hundredths; recognise that hundredths arise when dividing an object by one hundred and dividing tenths by ten. • solve problems involving increasingly harder fractions to calculate quantities, and fractions to divide quantities, including non-unit fractions where the answer is a whole number • add and subtract fractions with the same denominator • recognise and write decimal equivalents of any number of tenths or hundredths • recognise and write decimal equivalents to 1/4, 1/2 , 3/4 • find the effect of dividing a one- or two-digit number by 10 and 100, identifying the value of the digits in the answer as ones, tenths and hundredths • round decimals with one decimal place to the nearest whole number • compare numbers with the same number of decimal places up to two decimal places • solve simple measure and money problems involving fractions and decimals to two decimal places.

A resource I’ve created when introducing my class to decimals. It begins by introducing the definition of the word decimal and then uses diagrams and images to explain this further. After teaching about tenths and hundredths, the children then complete a worksheet where they are identifying tenths and hundredths in decimal numbers with numbers with up to 2.d.p. We then move onto converting fractions into decimals, comparing decimals using <, > and = and ordering decimal numbers. There are three worksheets to support this lesson. This worked really well with my class and I now have a very confident group of children who enjoy learning about fractions!

Use their knowledge of parallel and perpendicular lines to hunt for them in flags of the world! My class absolutely loved this activity.

A brilliant resource for children to apply their learning of 2D shapes. They need to choose a colour for each shape on their key and then colour in the 2D shapes accordingly. The worksheet address regular and irregular shapes. The children really enjoyed this activity and this was a great way to demonstrate their learning.

An engaging activity where children must complete the addition calculations using the column method to crack the code. The code is an answer to a joke. I have created three different versions of this to allow for easy differentiation in the classroom. Version A: Adding 2-digit numbers without carrying Version B: Adding 2-digit numbers with carrying Version C: Adding 3-digit numbers with carrying

An engaging activity where children must find the fractions of amounts to crack the code set by Detective Denominator. I have created three different versions of this to allow for easy differentiation in the classroom. Version A: Finding unit fractions of amounts less than 40. Version B: Finding unit and non-unit fractions of amounts less than 40. Version C: Finding non-unit fractions of amounts less than 90.

I created this to use with my class during a lesson on fractions. I wanted them to identify fractions and order fractions in ascending order but wanted to create a way for them to do this which had meaning and was exciting. Therefore, I provided each pair of children with a bag of skittles which they then used to complete the worksheet. The children found this extremely engaging! This lesson meets the following statutory requirements from the National Curriculum: Year 3 Pupils should be taught to: count up and down in tenths; recognise that tenths arise from dividing an object into 10 equal parts and in dividing one-digit numbers or quantities by 10 recognise, find and write fractions of a discrete set of objects: unit fractions and non-unit fractions with small denominators recognise and use fractions as numbers: unit fractions and non-unit fractions with small denominators recognise and show, using diagrams, equivalent fractions with small denominators add and subtract fractions with the same denominator within one whole [for example, 5/7 + 1/7 = 6/7 ] compare and order unit fractions, and fractions with the same denominators solve problems that involve all of the above Year 4 Pupils should be taught to: recognise and show, using diagrams, families of common equivalent fractions count up and down in hundredths; recognise that hundredths arise when dividing an object by 100 and dividing tenths by 10 solve problems involving increasingly harder fractions to calculate quantities, and fractions to divide quantities, including non-unit fractions where the answer is a whole number add and subtract fractions with the same denominator recognise and write decimal equivalents of any number of tenths or hundreds recognise and write decimal equivalents to 1/4 , 1/2 , 3/4 find the effect of dividing a one- or two-digit number by 10 and 100, identifying the value of the digits in the answer as ones, tenths and hundredths round decimals with 1 decimal place to the nearest whole number compare numbers with the same number of decimal places up to 2 decimal places solve simple measure and money problems involving fractions and decimals to 2 decimal places

A brilliant whole class activity to practice learning of their 4 times tables.

A fun activity where children can consolidate their learning and understanding on addition. I have created three differentiated game sheets. Taking it in turns, choose a calculation to complete. Work it out on a whiteboard and if you get the correct answer, you can place a counter over the calculation. The first person to get 4 counters in row horizontally, vertically or diagonally wins. Every child I’ve played this game with have really enjoyed it!

Design a zoo whilst learning about area and perimeter. I have an online teaching video to go alongside this resource where I teach the children everything they need to know. This pack includes everything you need to teach area and perimeter and for the children to complete an independent activity where they design their own zoo using their new knowledge of area and perimeter. It includes: A zoo themed booklet (missing illustrations as I painted them on but leaves space for yourself or children to add your own designs) The instructions Teaching support A list of enclosures with their price and enclosure size in metre squared A zoo planning design sheet An area and perimeter application activity 5 further activities to develop their learning further A teaching video below which explains everything you need to know! TES will no longer let me post my YouTube link for the teaching video which goes alongside this resource. However, if you go onto YouTube and search, ‘Let’s design a zoo! Area and perimeter with Miss Cole’ you should find it :) This is, by far, my class’s favourite maths project!

An activity to accompany my YouTube teaching video on Fractions of Amounts.

A game which children love and which also helps them to practice their co-ordinates!

Free resources to go alongside my YouTube tutorial for teaching maths to EYFS/KS1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xN5WVjmInEw&t=4s

Use this fractions poster to consolidate learning. Children to choose a fraction and then complete the circle of activities based around their chosen fraction: numerator, denominator, fraction as a shape, fraction as a quantity, written in words and the fraction needed to add to total 1 whole. My class loved this activity and often refer to their posters when recapping fractions.

It’s really important to discuss the different language used around the different operations. This activity will allow children to discuss and compare the different terminology used for the two operations, addition and subtraction.
