These are slides prepared to teach mental strategies to Year 5 pupils. I have used a selection of materials aligned with Whiterose but mixed with some of my own creations. I find it easier to teach from my own slides rather than WR as the individual clicks drive me mad. There is some slow paced strategy-practise and then some more fast-paced problem solving, all building towards independence.

This is a full lessons set of slides for Roman Numerals aimed at Year 5 students. I create my own slides and activities to allow students to better access the worksheet tasks from a well-known maths scheme. This lesson includes arithmetic warm up, a review of previously learned roman numerals, fluency, reasoning and problem solving. Its adaptable so you can add your own photos etc.

This slide deck and accompanying printable is designed to help increase recall and fluency of key facts and curiosity about these facts through reasoning. The slides take you through some odd one out activities, counting using number stick visuals, spot the missing multiple, bar models, sentence stems, arrays, groups, worded problems and using known facts, paired with engaging activities such as beat the teacher, times table bingo and a mini quiz. The slides follow an I do, We do, you do approach and have a sheet with varying levels of challenge to ensure independent application. My ethos is to keep it simple, remove barriers to understanding and cognitive overload by keeping the slides clean, relevant and dyslexia friendly. There are ordered and disordered questioning, reasoning, problem solving, lots of oracy opportunities and discussion. This is a fun lesson - tried and tested by myself and my colleagues!

There is ordered and disorder questions, as well as reasoning and problem solving, littered with partner talk, guided and independent work. This lesson is fun, active and a great accompaniment to anyone preparing Year 4 for the Multiplication Check.

This is a simple lessonon the 6 times tables. No fuss or confusion. Fun and simple. High participation. Approx 30-45 minutes long with a mixture of 6 times table practice and games. I have been teaching Year 4 and we used an additional after lunch slot for times table practice and I wanted it to be fun, fast-paced, packed with verbal fluency, visuals and games, and focused on recall and fluency as we were digging deeper in our maths lessons. This lesson comes with a set of slides, dyslexia friendly, and a resource sheet for some quick recall. Slides are adaptable so please, make them your own.

This is a complete lesson focusing on recall of the 9 times table. There are lots of lessons involving reasoning and problem solving but often, not quality, resources focused on the speed, fluency and accuracy of recall. The apps that often bridge the gap between home and school are excellent but do not come with the quality teaching content that shows children strategies for recalling their facts with increasing speed. This lesson, as with all the lessons in this series, includes counting activities (add multi-sensory opportunities with body percussion for an added pizazz), bar models, odd one out, sentence stems, arrays, quick fire games, mini quiz, which is all built upon buy guided practice following the graduated release model, consolidated with independent learning using the worksheet provided. I love to get children moving around and counting in pairs or threes, using clapping with their chants and where concrete apparatus are necessary, that too! These lessons are perfect prep for MTC.

This lesson takes learners through a series of assessments to ensure they have met all their place value objectives. It has a series of tasks and discussions about the meaning of place value, reading and writing numbers and it follows a graduated release with I do, We do, You do format. The independent task is linked with Year 5, Year 4 and Year 3 place value skills so it can be differentiated for the learner, depending on their gaps and where they are in the phases. The sheets can be adapted easily to change numbers or volumes of digits. I am using this resource to consolidate after picking up a new class. I want to ensure they have met their objectives but I have also used it at the beginning of the year as an assessment to create flexible groups for my first place value lesson and adapt my unit of teaching to emphasis key gaps for the class, groups and individuals. Enjoy!
