This presentation provides three days of teaching that cover the objectives: Develop understanding of place value in money. Use to add and subtract. It includes starter activities, whole class teaching, group activities, practice sheets and mastery questions. It can be used on a variety of interactive whiteboards. Day 1 Teaching Show 3 large pound coins, a 50p coin and a 2p coin (or IWB coins). How much money is here? How can we write it? Revise how we write this as £3.52. Rehearse writing amounts of money. Day 2 Teaching Display the Money place value grid (see resources). Remind children how to write amounts in £ and p. Write amounts including those containing 0 on the PV grid. Compare the amounts using symbols. Day 3 Teaching Play the ‘Nasty Game’ and record place value additions such as £2 + 30p + 5p, £2.05 + 30p, etc. Check all possibilities. Ensure children are confident in writing amounts such as £2.05 and do not write this as £2.5. Ask children to write subtraction sentences for same amount.

This presentation provides three days of teaching that cover the objectives: Measure weights in g and kg Use bar charts It includes starter activities, whole class teaching, group activities, practice sheets and mastery questions. It can be used on a variety of interactive whiteboards. Day 1 Teaching Pass round a 1Kg bag of flour, and then a Kg weight so that children can feel how heavy this is. Then have 2 hoops (<1Kg and >1Kg) and pass objects round the circle. When music stops children place object in correct hoop. Day 2 Teaching Have a 1kg bag of flour and a 100g apple. Children pass round different objects and estimate their weights in relation to flour and apples. Use data to create a bar chart. Day 3 Teaching Children collect, record and interpret own data. Think of ideas of data they might be able to collect, e.g. Who has the longest index finger? Which is the longest leaf out of a collection? Who has the heaviest lunchbox? Etc.

This presentation provides three days of teaching that cover the objectives: Interpret pictograms, bar charts and line graphs. Sketch and interpret pie charts. Understand and calculate a mean. It includes starter activities, whole class teaching, group activities, practice sheets and mastery questions. It can be used on a variety of interactive whiteboards. Day 1 Teaching Show and explain the graph of pets. How many children chose a rabbit? Discuss the scale of the graph. Draw a line down to the horizontal axis, and label it 50. Repeat with similar questions. Share today’s top tip. Show a line graph of a dog’s growth in weight over time and ask questions, including intermediate points. Day 2 Teaching Show children the graph of pets from day 1. Label each bar with the numbers: 50, 150 and 100. How many children were surveyed in total? 50 out of 300 children chose a rabbit, what fraction is this? (1/6). What fraction chose a dog? (1/2). What fraction chose a cat? (1/3). Children sketch a pie chart to show the results. Day 3 Teaching Remind children what the word average means and how the mean is one type of average. A sprinter ran 100m in times of 12s, 15s, 13s, and 16s; then calculated her mean time to be 18s. Does this sound right? Share today’s top tip for tests. Children add the 4 times together and divide by 4 to find her mean time. Take feedback. Challenge children to write three different numbers with a mean of 10.

Grammar teaching presentation and grammar exercises. The teaching presentation includes 22 slides that cover: Devices to build cohesion within and across paragraphs. Pronouns Determiners Subordinating Conjunctions Adverbs Paragraphs Adverbials (including place, number, time) Topic Sentences Each cohesive device is introduced, clearly explained, and an example is provided. The class is asked some simple questions to check understanding. We then provide grammar exercises for children to: Practise using conjunctions correctly Practise using cohesive devices within a paragraph Each collection of exercises is made up of three sets. Set A is the easiest or most accessible, Set C is the hardest or uses more complex language. This resource is aimed at UKS2. Use the presentation to introduce or revise a grammatical concept as a stand-alone lesson or add on the accompanying exercises for children to practise and apply their knowledge.

This presentation provides three days of teaching that cover the objectives: Bridge 10 with bead strings and beaded lines. Bridge 10 with Fly on a number grid. Add, deciding whether or not the addition will bridge 10. It includes starter activities, whole class teaching, group activities, practice sheets and mastery questions. It can be used on a variety of interactive whiteboards. Day 1 Teaching Show children the bead bar. Slide 8 beads to one side. Model adding 3 by sliding 2 beads to make 10, then 1 more. Repeat to show 7 add 5 by adding 3 to make 10 and then adding 2 more beads. When we add in two steps like this, stopping at 10, we call it bridging 10. Repeat, to find 8 + 5, 6 + 5 and 9 + 6, bridging 10 on the bead bar, with children replicating on bead strings. Day 2 Teaching Show children a 1-100 number grid and Fly. Remind them that Fly can make a short flight to the next 10 from any number. Demonstrate adding 5 to 25 using Fly. Then model adding 5 to 17, using Fly to go to 20 first, and then counting on 2 more. Record: 17 + 5 = 22. Do you see how we bridged 20, a 10s number? Repeat for 28 + 6 and 36 + 5. Day 3 Teaching Use a 100 bead bar to show children 36 + 5, an addition bridging 10.
