This unit ties in children’s narrative poem - The Highway Rat to then go on to study the Highwayman. This link from the children’s poem to then the harder text gives the children a nice way in and they can see the links from the children’s poem to then the classical Highwayman.
Lots of work comes from this PPT - up to you how you go with it, this can be a good base to go from though.
Lots of resources included - hope this helps!

By popular demand from students - PART 2 of the Secret Agent maths.
In this Secret Agent code-breaker activity ask your students to attempt to solve the addition problems without using formal methods. This lesson is all about speed - can they find quick ways to add?
This skill is essential to build up mathematical confidence and dexterity - children will feel empowered to know they can use many strategies and start thinking about the most efficient, speedy but accurate ways to add.
Reviewing pupils’ working in this lesson is crucial - its important pupils get to see how we can all use different methods effectively. This fun, engaging maths encourages pupils to work in different ways and learn from each other. You may find children having ‘lightbulb moments,’ realising they don’t always have to be constrained to formal, column addition methods.
The saga continues! Students have kept requesting more of these -so here is Part 3.
This lesson focuses on mental addition and subtraction this time.
The ‘secret agent’ has been found and now the pupils are looking for ‘the villain.’
All suggested by students in my classes. I hope your students enjoy these lessons as much as mine have!
This is a 3 part maths saga which children in your class/group will LOVE.
All three lessons focus on essential skills for adding and subtracting.
Lesson 1 & 2 focus purely on addition - where I encourage the children NOT to use formal columnar addition unless they have to, but try and use other mental methods like finding doubles, near doubles and using their bonds of 10s and 100s knowledge effectively.
Lesson 3 involves mental additions again but with an added twist of subtraction.
These lessons are so engaging and children will love them - part 3 also comes with a surprise/shocking ending.
Hope you enjoy using this resource. Please rate and review.
