Mental Multiplication Strategies

(0)
Exit Cards - I give these out after group teaching to give pupils a few examples to try independently. These few examples help to me to assess whether further teaching/support needs to be put in place before moving on to more practise of the strategy. It also helps the pupils to assess their own understanding of the teaching that has taken place. (sorry the files are named after my teaching groups but there is a LA, MA and HA of each and on some sheets there are 3 exit cards to save printing costs. I just cut them into 3 individual sheets) Mental strategies: doubling/halving, factoring, adjusting and approximation Worksheets - Further practise of strategies independently

Reciprocal Reading Practise

Reciprocal reading develops fluency and encourages readers to apply reading strategies independently. Each step takes a lot of training and they should be modelled separately before brought together. The resources I have attached are to be used when each strategy has been modelled. I have attached: A worksheet that can help with the modelling stage A reciprocal reading recording sheet that can be used one per pupil so that each pupil practising all four strategies, or you cut it up into four different strategies so that each pupil is only focusing on one strategy. After each part has been completed after the reading, the pupils should engage in a discussion about their response to each strategy.

Addition with rounding and approximation and finding exact cost.

(0)
This resource supports revising adding money within £10 and £20 to find the exact cost. It also supports rounding to the nearest £1, £10 and £100 but could be amended to support rounding to the nearest £1000 too. It just depends on your learners. My pupils enjoyed making their own shops and visiting other pupil's shops to buy items and practise finding the exact costs and approximate costs.
