This detailed English plan will support teachers with year 6 classes to deliver an exciting and engaging unit of work based on discussion texts. The plan has been designed to stretch children’s thinking and discussion skills following submission of KS2 writing judgements. The plan weaves together the statements from the reading (word reading and comprehension) and writing (transcription, handwriting, composition, VGP and spelling) components of the 2014 curriculum, showing how all of these aspects of learning can be addressed through creative learning experiences. Core text: In Search of Safety: Children and the Refugee Crisis in Europe – A Teaching Resource by UNICEF United Kingdom.

In this learning sequence, real life situations are used to support pupils to understand why brackets are needed and to know why multiplication comes before addition. The sequence then continues to explore the implications for subtraction and brackets. Abstract calculation is used to support pupils in discovering why we need a set of rules for the order of operations as pupils explore the implications on results with and without brackets – following a left to right calculation approach. BIDMAS, as a mnemonic, is introduced and pupils continue to create algebraic equations from bar models that they are familiar with (addition and subtraction; multiplication and division). They develop understanding of the concept of a variable and algebraic short hand such as 3t = 3 x t = t + t + t. Application of algebraic equations is applied to solve word problems and to more abstract problems such as “I am thinking of a number”. Pupils will continue to apply their understanding of algebra through subsequent sequences and explore it in more detail at the end of the spring term.

This learning sequence focuses on using the language relating to dates, practising the order of days of the week, months and seasons. The language related to ordering events chronologically will also be practised. HFL maths advisers have mapped and connected the curriculum in each year group term by term. Each half-term is developed with an easy to pick up and use set of sequences with step by step guidance. Examples of how concrete and pictorial representations can benefit pupils’ learning as well as other mastery techniques are included. Ideas to deepen and extend mathematical thinking for all learners, examples of great questions and resources to support pupils’ talk and reasoning are embedded.

This learning sequence develops pupil understanding of how a clock face works and how connections can be made across the curriculum to counting in multiples, multiplication facts and fractions. Pupils focus on o’clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to. In a later learning sequence, pupils apply this understanding of telling the time to the nearest 5 minutes.

In this sequence of learning for Year 5, complete with a range of supporting resources, pupils will gain significant knowledge and skills related to fractions – comparing, ordering, finding equivalents, recognising and converting mixed and improper fractions, adding, subtracting and multiplying them. This sequence provides a brief opportunity to consolidate and apply this knowledge in the context of problem solving in which pupils will be asked to draw on a range of knowledge and skills.

This sequence focuses upon position and direction. Pupils often struggle with the complexity of language needed to describe position. The context of the language is broad, varied in real life and requires plenty of rehearsal across a range of curriculum areas. Rotations and the related language is introduced to Year 1. Links are made to time and the clock face. Year 2 apply this learning to compass points and to turns when following and giving directions. Ordinal numbers are used in real-life contexts such as position in a queue or floors of a building. These are then combined with positional language such as ‘left’ and ‘right’. Pupils are familiar with creating patterns. Repeating patterns provide opportunities for applying ordinal numbers to describe the position of shapes within the pattern or to identify shapes and their properties within a sequence.

In this sequence for a mixed-age Y1&2 class, pupils will build upon their understanding of the number system between 0 and 20, think about patterns and the properties of numbers as they get bigger, up to and just over 100 in Year 2. The skill of regrouping (partitioning) numbers will be practised and pupils will transfer their knowledge of regrouping ones and tens into different models. This will continue to highlight the importance of ‘10’ in our number system and will provide another opportunity to explore the place value system by creating units of ten from ten ones on beadstrings and on 100 squares.
