Here are 24 lessons based on the book The Nothing To See Here Hotel by Steven Butler.
Each lesson up to lesson 15 comes with a Powerpoint and a task. Each task if based off of the reading VIPERS. There are 24 tasks planned to be completed in books and 15 of these tasks come with Powerpoints attached.
This was taught to Year 4 but can easily be taken and slightly adapted to Year 3 and 5.
Each Powerpoint follows the structure:
Talk Task (discussion question based on the book)
Vocabulary (introducing new words they may come across in today’s reading)
Focus (main reading part with a focus question)
Deepen (children asked to explain something)
Independent Activity (questions in Guided Reading books based on the VIPERS)
Exit Pass (summarising quick question)

This unit of work is based off the the NCETM Prioritisation and is created to be Y4 Unit 5 which is called ‘7 times tables and patterns’. This is a clear mastery approach to teaching maths.
This contains 7 lessons on this unit, plus an extra addition and subtraction revision lesson at the beginning. The objectives for each lesson are:
Revise column method for addition and subtraction
Count in and multiply by 7
Solve 7 times table problems
Identify patterns of odd and even numbers in times tables
Identify square numbers
Identify square numbers
Find divisibility rules
Find divisibility rules
Each lessons follows a structure which will support children’s understanding. There is at least one slide on each of the following:
-Revisit slide (prerequisite skills needed or revision of another previously taught skill)
-Address misconception (a slide that is put here to purposely address misconceptions through discussion, solving a problem)
-Vocabulary slide
-Focus (the teaching of the new skill)
Guided practice
Talk task (a problem to discuss)
Deepen (an opportunity to apply the skill to a deeper question or problem)
Independent practice (3 tasks)
Deepen/next steps (these can be used as feedback marking or trickier problems to give the children to deepen their understanding)
This Powerpoint essentially contains two lessons on LGBTQ.
This Powerpoint starts with definitions of LGBTQ+.
It contains information and history of the rainbow flag.
It contains the life story of Jin Xing, a transgender Chinese ballet dancer. There is opportunity to see ballet as a dance that requires muscle and strength with the opportunity of creating short ballet routines in groups.
At the end of the Powerpoint is a link to a story called Roxy the Racoon by Alice Reeves. There is an activity to complete that requires children to invent their own inclusive character for a children’s book.
These lessons were made with Year 4 students in mind but is very open to all ages. It is easily accessible and explains things simply in a way that all children should understand.
Here are high-quality, well-structured maths lessons created by myself as a maths specialist. I have used a variety of resources from NCETM, White Rose, Maths No Problem and other resources available online.
Each lesson has a clear structure:
Warm up
Address Misconceptions
Vocabulary
Focus
Guided Practice
Talk Task
Deepen
Independent Task
Next Step
This unit of work includes:
1 lesson on plotting coordinates (a rounding up/summarising lesson)
2 lessons on translating shapes
2 lessons on identifying angle types
2 lessons on identifying and creating symmetry
Involved are stem sentences, diagnostic questions, reasoning etc.
Independent practice slide contains ‘now, next, last’ key words to break down the tasks for SEN learners.
Tasks can be copied and pasted from the Powerpoint and printed to stick in their books.
Learning objectives:
Identify place value
Use column addition with regrouping
Use column addition with regrouping
Use column addition with regrouping twice
Decide on mental or written strategies
Solve addition problems
Identify minuend and subtrahend
Use column subtraction
Use column subtraction
Use column subtraction with one exchange
Use column subtraction with one exchange
Use column subtraction with one exchange
Use column subtraction with two exchanges
This is the unit of work is the unit I taught my class at the beginning of the year of Year 4 to recap and re-teach addition and subtraction and deepen further into exchanging.
Each lesson follows the lesson structure of:
Revisit slide
Address misconception
Vocabulary (needed for the lesson ie. addend plus added is equal to the difference)
Focus
Guided Practice
Talk Task
Deepen
Independent Practice
The independent practice slide has first/next/last’ sections to encourage children’s independence.
I am a maths specialist and have created a unit of work based off of the NCETM spines for division. This starts with the foundations of division and leads into short method/bus stop method for division.
I have dived into a variety of high-quality resources including NCETM, White Rose and diagnostic questions. The activities and tasks have been specially designed and ordered to provide a solid understanding of division. There is a real mixture of resources used and combined to create a comprehensive unit that can be delivered straight from this download.
Lesson 1: multiply and divide by 11
Lesson 2: multiply and divide by 12
Lesson 3: divide using resources (practical lesson)
Lesson 4: divide two-digit numbers with remainders
Lesson 5: divide two and three-digit numbers with remainders
Lesson 6: use written method for division - no exchange (practical lesson)
Lesson 7: use written method for division - no exchange (applying the new skill in books)
Lesson 8: Use written method for division with one exchange (practical lesson)
Lesson 9: Use written method for division with one exchange (applying the new skill in books)
Lesson 10: Revise multiplying and dividing by 10 and 100.
Each lesson follows the same maths lesson structure of:
Revisit
Address Misconceptions
Vocabulary
Focus
Guided Practice
Talk Task
Deepen
Independent Task
The ‘Independent Task’ slide has a ‘Now, Next, Last’ visual to promote children’s independence in completing their tasks.
The Powepoint is infused with STEM sentences, different representations, practical activities, fluency, and reasoning tasks.
