Hello fellow teachers! I have been teaching in the UK in primary schools (7-11 year olds) for over 20 years.

A great resource for you to use to help parents support their child with their reading comprehension skills. Print the books marks off double backed and laminate ready to be sent home. This resource includes one bookmark in 5 different colours. There is a mini guide at the top of the bookmark for parents to explain that talking, discussing and questioning children about what they are reading is just as important as reading with them. There is also a suggestion to help to engage their child further with their reading comprehension by switching the person who chooses the questions about what has been read – how well was the adult listening to them? Can they answer the questions their child asks? The book mark then includes examples of questions or question stems covering each of the following areas: Vocabulary Predictions Retrieval Inference Summarise Language and effect Themes and comparisons I hope that this resource helps you, your children and your parents to support the comprehension skills in your class.

Blank Column Method Templates

(0)
Fourteen blank templates to support children in laying out column addition and subtraction. There are templates for both the** expanded method and the short method**. Templates for the expanded method are colour coded to help children with where each of the totals need to be placed when they add the hundreds, tens and ones. Of course, these can be printed in black and white if you don’t need this for your teaching. There are a variety of sheets depending on how many digits you are adding or subtracting and how many digits will appear in the answer. In my classroom, I have a little stash of these that we use when we are doing addition and subtraction. It has always been helpful for younger children or those who find the lay out tricky to do independently. I hope these are useful and save you time!

Maths mastery through visualisation, bar modelling and variation. ** SATS revision lesson** - Although a ‘Year 4 expected lesson’ the targetted questions have been taken from past SATS papers.

How far have we driven so far?’ The lesson uses Bar Modelling and Variation (both from Shanghai / Singapore Maths as a part of Maths Mastery) to build children’s skills so they have the tools they need to answer these types of questions independently. CAN BE USED AS SATS REVISION It is presented as one lesson but depending on how long your lesson is, how quickly your children understand the learning and compete the work it may need 2 sessions. It looks at worded problems as short stories and models clearly how to draw bar models from the questions to support answering questions. I have uploaded the lessons and sheets as powerpoints which are easy to adapt if you would like to. There is one powerpoint with the lesson on. The other powerpoint is printables of the bar models for the practise section, the independent activity both as worded questions and as worded questions with bar models to be annotated.

Fraction Problem Solving - Year 6 SATS revision lesson - Maths Mastery

(0)
Problem solving with fractions. Visualisation. Variation. Bar modelling. SATS revision Year 6 ‘Expected Level’ question taken from Testbase: ‘4/5 of the runners in a race have finished the race so far. 92 people have finished. How many runners were in the race altogether?’ The lesson leads children through how to model questions using the known facts and the calculations they need to use to find the unknown values and the answer. There are examples to show the class, practise questions the class can all do together which leads into a differentiated independent task and then a challenge. The lesson uses Bar Modelling and Variation (both from Shanghai / Singapore Maths as a part of Maths Mastery) to build children’s skills so they have the tools they need to answer these types of questions independently. I have found this style of lesson really useful in the past as it hones in on one question style giving the children the chance to master their skills so they have a greater depth of knowledge. Once children have mastered this and built confidence they can they apply it to other areas of problem solving. I have uploaded the lessons and sheets as powerpoints which are easy to adapt if you would like to. There is one powerpoint with the lesson on. The other powerpoint is printables of the bar models for the practise section, the independent activity both as worded questions and as worded questions with bar models to be annotated. The challenge activity can be printed so children can stick in their book and answer. I hope this lesson is useful, helps your children learn and saves you some time. This is one of the first lesson I have uploaded so any feedback would be helpful to me moving forwards. I want my resource to help you and make you life easier!
Fraction, Decimal and Percentage Posters

Fraction, Decimal and Percentage Posters

(0)
These posters offer an excellent, clear visual display of the relationship between decimals, fractions and percentages. Each of the values are represented in a number of different ways for children to see and understand. A huge part of Maths Mastery is to be able to represent concepts in different ways and making links between different areas of Maths to show deeper understanding and these posters are a perfect example of that. I have these posters displayed year-round above my Maths board for children to refer to both when we are learning about decimals, fractions and percentages, but also as an example of showing the same concept in different ways to support them becoming Maths Masters! There are some options when printing – some poster are identical other than the wording of ‘fourth ‘ and ‘quarter’ so you can choose which you’d like depending on where you are in the World.
