***DIFFERENTIATED MULTIPLICATION FOR 4 GROUPS*** When teaching multiplication this week, I struggled to find a resource in which I needed. In Mathematics, I like a resource to be differentiated, while allowing the children to move up to a higher set themselves, if they find the work too easy. This resource allows children to make great progress in one lesson as they can be challenged constantly, rather than completing page after page of the same type of calculation. My class have not yet moved onto 2 digit multiplication, so it is differentiated by: Bronze: TO x O (focusing mainly on the 2, 3, 4 and 5 times tables) Silver: HTO x O (using a range including the 6, 7, 8 and 9 times tables) Gold: THHTO x O (using a range including the 6, 7, 8 and 9 times tables) Upon finishing the gold section, there is an additional section called platinum. This section allows a further challenge for children in completing missing calculation multiplication questions (answers included). I have provided the success criteria at the top of the page, as I like to remind children constantly what they need to remember to do. Also, for some children who don't know their times tables, I've included a multiplication square for support. These files have been saved as a PDF and a word document.

***THE SPOOKY, MYSTERIOUS SANTA CLAUSE*** I don't know about you, but I struggle to think of things to keep the children busy on the last week of term. So I can up with this this week to try and bring some interesting writing together. It's basically suspense and mystery planning based on creating a spooky Santa Clause. A 4 day series of lessons on suspense and mystery. These lessons allow children to write in a suspense style by using ellipses, short sentences and making the reader think that there is something hidden. These lessons involve video clips and setting a spooky scene my turning off the lights during the reading of these paragraphs. A powerpoint, plan and resources are included.

A medium term plan used during term 2 for Year 3. Topics covered and expanded in the MTP: Place value, ordering, estimating, rounding Reading numbers from scales Understanding + and – Mental calculation strategies (+ and -) Multiplication and division : Fractions Measure, and time, including problems Geometry: Properties of Shape

This comprehension is based on Qatar as a country and the processes they’ve put in place in order to host the World Cup 2022. It provides children with an interesting background knowledge of the country while testing their comprehension skills simultaneously. I have attached comprehension questions/activities for a lower ability, middle ability and higher ability learner, all in the same document. It worked well for the abilities in my own class, however it can be adapted to suit the needs of your class too. I have saved it as a word document and a PDF.

A fantastic week's plan and detailed notebook presentation to begin maths with your new year 4's. Every activity is displayed on the presentation and the plan explicitly states what needs to be covered in order to help children to meet the learning objective. Nice, colourful, engaging slides to begin maths in a fun way. Covered: count in multiples of 1000 find 1000 more or less of a given number identify the values of different digits complete sequences involving 4 digit numbers apply my knowledge of place value to solve a problem

A week's planning based on building children up to adding using the formal method. The week begins by discussing ways to partition and add three digit numbers mentally. This embeds the idea that will be used for the week. From there, interactive activities are used to engage children with column addition and to understand that place value and aligning the digits is extremely important when using this method. This package includes a detailed, differentiated plan as well as a resource of number cards to use.

A Maths medium term plan from Sept-December. Short term plans made from this for my Year 4's last year.

This is a weeks worth of planning on place value. It includes alot of mathematical questioning to tap into the children's understanding and allows them to understand the concept in depth. The planning includes links to interactive games online to be used to encourage all types of learners. It also teachers children to look at the 1000 before and 1000 after, aswell as looking at the value of each digit. Children will also be taught how to write a number in words and vice versa. This resource includes a weeks lesson plan and a presentation.

Planned, resourced and differentiated for a year 5 class. These lessons are highly resourced with practical, engaging activities which are aimed to encourage each type of learner and ability. It involves the following objectives: *How do I multiply and divide whole numbers and decimals by 10, 100 and 1 000? *How do I read and write decimal numbers as fractions? *How do I round decimals to the nearest whole number and one decimal place? *How do I read, write, order and compare numbers with up to 3 decimal places? *How do I solve problems involving converting between units of time? Please review and check my other resources: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/Morrisr9/edit

This resource has numerous activities that are extremely well differentiated. These lessons involve teaching children strategies in order to be able to check their answers, such as rounding and estimating, and also finding the inverse. Children are further challenged to use the inverse of addition to solve missing number calculations. Again, this is well differentiated so that all abilities can access the content. This packaged includes many resources, a very detailed lesson plan, and a crystal clear notebook file. The resources have been labelled Bronze (LA), Silver (MA) and Gold (HA). There is also Platinum for G&T children. Included in lesson starters and plenaries are arithmetic tests that again, are differentiated. This keeps children's mathematical knowledge broad and fresh. These tests are available on the SMART notebook. Please review this resource and check out my other resources: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/Morrisr9

This resource contains a detailed lesson plan, powerpoint and lesson starter to help you teach children how to add and subtract fractions with the same denominator. I spent a long time making this resource as I wanted to ensure children understand how to use the correct terminology i.e. numerator, denominator, whole etc. The powerpoint is extremely detailed and contains pictorial representation as well as numerical to satisfy the needs of visual learners also. The powerpoint also contains key questions, encouraging children to explain 'why' something happens. This is very effective for the overall understanding of adding and subtracting fractions. The activities are on the powerpoint, hence why there is no activity attached. There is also a challenge embedded in the plenary aimed to be completed in mixed ability pairs, in order to push on the high ability children and secure the understanding of the class.

A colourful, creative way to keep track of children's knowledge of the timestables. I printed this chart on A3, filled in the children's names and ticked off the timestables as they knew them. We found it was a nice visual way to keep a note of who knew which timestables and it also became a little competitive in who knew the most.

This lesson plan provides children with an opportunity to engage with geometry in a way that should be clear to each individual learner. This lesson plan is well differentiated to the point where each group is challenged while there needs are being bet simultaneously. This plan includes lessons on: 2D shape properties and classification Lines of symmetry Lines of symmetry in irregular shapes 2D shapes in different orientations Classification of triangles. As the title suggests, there are many practical activities involved, including creating a symmetrical robot, practical classification and use of mirrors. Please leave a review to let me know your thoughts on this lesson plan.

Notebook presentation and lesson plan included. (If you do not have notebook on your computer, you can download Notebook viewer for free). http://notebook-interactive-viewer.software.informer.com/download/#downloading This lesson is based on the discoveries of ancient scientists. It allows children the opportunity to research on specific areas of science and find out what and how they discovered what they did. It also poses questions and allows children to think about what has not yet been discovered and what they would like to be discovered. Check out my other resources too if you get a chance: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/Morrisr9

This is an extremely practical lesson that I used as an introduction to the topic of Ancient Scientists. Children need to carry out experiments that represent different types of research. In one of the experiments, children need to taste chocolate, in another they need to test which ball floats the best etc. This lesson introduces the different types of scientific research in a fun, practical way. My children really enjoyed this lesson and it was a fantastic introduction to the topic. Notebook presentation and lesson plan included.

This game involves asking the children to roll a dice and read the sound that their counter lands on. When they read the sound, they must think of a word that this sound is in. I played it in mixed ability pairs, the low ability children just had to try and read the sound. It was a lot of fun and they loved it. It contains diagraphs, triagraphs, split diiagraphs and single sound letters for a thorough revision.

Chapter 2 of the BFG with comprehension questions. My class love the BFG so I decided to create a comprehension on each chapter. Looks at deducing, inferring, italics and spotting similes
