Task that asks pupils to interpret data about the performance of football teams and then place 10 teams into a league table based on the information provided. They will need to works systematically and use the following maths skills: ordering addition multiplication subtraction finding the difference use negative numbers in context copy and place data into a table correctly work logically and systematically Task can be differentiated by changing expectation of what you wish pupils to do - e.g. you might just ask children to order the teams and simply provide their total points. Greater depths could be asked to fill the whole table with minimal support. The cover page contains a couple of tips but this is down to the teacher to discretion as to how much support ‘tips’ they wish to provide.

Problem solving task to stretch children working at either expected levels or greater depth. This can be done either as a group, partnered or individual exercise and gives a workout of the following skills: area perimeter the four operations money application of skills - where and when to apply a certain operation Some aspects of task may require some support from an adult or more able peer - particularly at the lower end of y5. Answers (with formulas that work towards the answer) are included for ease of marking.

A mean average word problem task with two levels of differentiation. Basic finding the mean and a second sheet incorporating more challenging problems. Basic word problems Interpreting information from tables and find the mean For the two short, a question is also included that includes fractions and giving a fractional answer (this will involve adding fractions with different denominators and finding the average of the result). This worksheet is available in both Word and PDF formats and can be given out in class as part of a plenary, main activity or for online learning.

Greater depth task for Greater Depth able year sixes. Three problems based on Santa’s Sleigh that include: volume surface area lengths in metres Four operations required to solve the problems: multiplication (short and long) long division addition/subtraction Answers are included for ease of marking.

Match-up task where children identify different four sided and three sided shapes with their correct names. Included are: square, rhombus, parallelogram, trapezoid, equilateral, isosceles, scalene, kite, rectangle. There is a 1 and 2 star sheet (same content) where less information is given on the higher sheet and relies more on the child’s prior knowledge.

Three way differentiated task on calculating the area of parallelograms and triangles. One star sheet - Handling of triangle and quadrilateral areas using simpler numbers. Two star sheet - Handling of triangle and parallelogram areas where long multiplication will need to be applies - also touches on splitting whole numbers. Three star sheet - Larger areas and numbers to be handled and problems that require reasoning and working systematically.

Useful tool for reasoning practise in Year 6. Includes a hand-drawn bar-graph for interpretation (best done with a ruler). Also useful for identifying children who are not counting from the correct place and producing erroneous answers. Exercise also includes a second sheet where children need to identify different quantities on a speedometer and a scale. This will require some decimal conversion requiring division and multiplication by 1000 (grams to kilograms and vice-versa).

A set of 7 group problems for children to work on together in mixed ability groups. Children can use whiteboards to help them work out their calculations and explain their reasoning in a following mini-plenary.
