Fifteen fully resourced lessons that complete a unit of work for Year 5 in place value.
Most lessons bar the Roman Numeral lesson are double lessons, sharing the same objective and resources.
The lesson sequence of the unit is as follows:
Lesson 1 and 2 - Place Value up to 100,000
Lesson 3 and 4 - Compare and order numbers up to 100,000
Lesson 5 and 6 - Round numbers to the nearest 10, 100 or 1000
Lesson 7 and 8 - Place Value up to 1,000,000
Lesson 9 and 10 - Compare and order numbers up to 1,000,000
Lesson 11 and 12 - Round numbers up to the nearest 100,000
Lesson 13 and 14 - Negative numbers
Lesson 15 - Roman Numerals
Each double lesson includes a PowerPoint which starts with an arithmetic starter for each lesson (based on key Year 4 objectives they would have focused on). The first lesson then includes a number of teaching points which are then recapped as part of the second lesson.
Also included is an activity that can be used over the double lesson, alongside challenge questions for anyone who has finished. Answer sheets are included for both.
The Roman Numeral lesson stands alone as a single lesson with a range of potential activities included.
All aspects can be easily edited and adapted but can also be used as it is to deliver two lessons for the objective.

A comprehensive set of resources for anyone to be able to teach a block on writing discussion texts. Planned for Year 5 but very easily adaptable to Year 4 or Year 6.
Included are:
Full lesson plans for 15/16 lessons, with differentiated activities for children.
IWB slides for every lesson that go step by step through the lesson. (N.B. In the shared writing sessions, the example paragraphs just need playing around with to a new topic. Whilst I could have done these, it is more powerful to do them with the class at the time)
Resource sheets required for lessons.
Word banks for children to use.
A self-assessment/ teacher assessment marking sheet that helps children assess as they write and can then be used for a simple marking sheet to pick out positives and targets for children.
A set of three differentiated worksheets that work on place value for Year 3 children. Having used a similar format in my own lessons, these sheets often provide enough challenge for lessons, with children taking on the easier work then moving on to harder challenges within the other sheets.
These have all been made with mastery in mind and so follow this pattern.
Worksheet One - Works on practise and fluency (LA)
Worksheet Two - Practise, fluency and reasoning (MA)
Worksheet Three - Practise, fluency, reasoning and problem solving (HA)
Answers are included for each sheet.
An introductory lesson to the Equator, hemispheres and tropics, suitable for either Year 2 or lower KS2.
Included in the lesson is:
A presentation for the lesson that includes maps that highlight the different areas and some information for discussion, as well as a recap task from a previous lesson focusing on continents and oceans. The recap task is also included as part of the lesson pack with an answer sheet but can easily be ignored for this lesson to stand alone.
An activity that requires children to label the various aspects discussed as well as questions and a challenge question linked to the lesson. An answer sheet is also included for this.
A support sheet that provides a labelled version of the map bar hemispheres.
A quiz that gets children to try and identify 30 different flags from around the world. A fun geography activity for the end of the year or as a general activity to check knowledge of different flags.
A fully-resourced lesson that focuses on being able to name and locate the continents of the world and the oceans.
Included is:
A presentation that introduces the different continents and oceans, involving some discussion around these, questions and some facts around continents.
An activity that links to the presentation with questions and a map task for naming the oceans and continents. There is also a challenge question for those that finish. An answer sheet is also included for the activity.
A support sheet for the activity which is a map with the continents and oceans named.
This lesson can be used in either KS1 or 2 with a focus on teaching continents and oceans for the first time or coming back to it at the start of KS2.
A sheet with two place value grids on that can be photocopied and sliced up to be used. The place value grid follows the idea of splitting the place values into threes to help show how thousands and millions truly work as well as signposting where commas should go. It also shows decimal points and the following three values after the decimal point, as well as showing their fraction equivalence.
