I taught this lesson to strengthen my year 6’s confidence in their place value and to help them answer the questions in the SATs arithmetic like 6-4.56 or 7-4.569. We discussed that, by the end of the lessons, some of them might be more confident to answer the question using a number line and some might be more confident to use the formal written method but that they should all be able to have the option. There are lots of opportunities for modelling and lots of differentiated practice questions (with the answers). At the end, I have included a slide that is a printable worksheet or get your pupils to work from the board to save paper. I always display the LO and Challenge question while they’re working independently so they can complete this when they’ve finished. The final slide is the answers to save valuable teacher time!

This is an entire 2 lessons on working out the missing angles on a straight line, around a whole turn and lesson 2 is about finding missing angles in triangles with the prior learning. The lesson includes lots of differentiated practice questions and a printable differentiated worksheet for independent work at the end. The answers are on the last slide. Blue = LA Orange = MA Red = HA

This is two lessons I used to teach my year 4 class in the autumn term on reading and writing numbers to the ten thousands. The practice questions (for whiteboards) are differentiated for lower, middle and higher attaining pupils and have answers on the next slide to facilitate marking. The worksheets (which are on a printable slide) are differentiated for lower attaining, middle attaining and higher attaining. The answers are also on a slide to make marking quicker or for you to display at the end of the lesson so you pupils can mark their own work and save your valuable teacher time. There is a challenge question to display while your class are completing their independent work for the pupils who finish early.

This a lesson I used to teach my year 4 class in the autumn term to revise the units, tens, hundreds and thousands place value columns. The practice questions are a mix of word problems and pictorial questions involving counters. The worksheets are differentiated for lower attainting, middle attaining and higher attaining. There is a challenge question to display while your class are completing their independent work fot the pupils who finish early.

This is a lesson that I used to teach my year 6 class about converting between fraction, decimal and percentage equivalents . The lesson starts off with a starter on multiplying and dividing by 100. It then offers opportunities for teacher modelling. Next, there are slides with differentiated practice questions for the class to do on their whiteboards. The answers are on the next slides so that you can quickly check their work. On the penultimate slide, there is the Learning Objective and a challenge to complete once they’ve finished their work. Worksheets are differentiated for LAs, MAs, HAs and HHAs. I have included the answers for worksheets too to make teacher marking easier or for you to give to your class to mark their own work!

This is an entire lesson on long division which I did with my year 6 class. The lesson includes lots of differentiated practice questions and a printable differentiated worksheet for independent work at the end. The answers are on the last slide. Challenge question which they can complete after finishing independent work.

These three lessons on the order of operations (made for my class when home learning) contain lots of differentiated practice questions . Each lesson has a slide with questions differentiated 3 ways for independent work after teaching. This can be printed off or they can work from the interactive whiteboard (if you want to save paper). I have included the answers so that you can get your class to self-mark or just to speed up your marking process (and save your valuable teacher time!).

These entire lessons have lots of differentiated practice questions with answers that have 1-3 decimal places. The second lesson moves onto division with remainders as fractions and decimals. There is a final differentiated slide that you can print for independent work or get your class to work from the board. I have also included the answers so you can get your class to mark their own work to save valuable teacher time!

Used on two consecutive days for my year 6 class that has a range of abilities. This lesson starts off with two opportunities to discuss the method of how to round numbers. The method I usually teach my class is to circle the place value column you are rounding to. For instance, if you are rounding 456 to the nearest ten , circle the 5. Then underline the number to its right and this will tell you whether you round up or down. The PowerPoint then moves onto differentiated practice questions (answers on next slide so you can check the children’s whiteboards quickly). The final slide has steps to success and a challange question for the class to complete when they have finished their work. The worksheets are differentiated five ways. Two possible options for your LAs (indicated by ), one option for your MAs () and two options for your HAs (). The answers are at the end in case you want your class to mark their own answers and save teacher time! The second lesson is what I did the next day with my class as some of my Middle Ability children still were not secure. I have moved the class onto to rounding larger numbers to the nearest ten thousand and one hundred thousand. The questions are on the slides this time and include answers.

This is an entire lesson on converting metric units of length, mass and capacity that I did with my year 6 class after a lesson on just conversion. There are lots of differentiated practice questions to complete on the whiteboards (with answers on next slide to quickly check). There is a slide with the Learning Objective and a challenge question which I display while they’re completing independent work. I have included a slide which has work for LA, MA and HA and can be printed off or the class can choose their level from the board (save paper). I have included the answers on the last slides so that you can mark quickly or get the class to mark their own work! I have also included practice SATs style questions to stick in the books as a challenge when marking.

I completed these lessons with my year 6 class to practise estimating the size of angles, then measuring their actual size using a protractor. The worksheet for this lesson is differentiated for LA, MA and HA. The second lesson moves onto the class drawing angles using protractors.

Day 1 : revises names of shapes, regular and irregular shapes, parallel and perpendicular lines, conventional markings for parallel sides and equal angles and types of angles. The worksheet is differentiated 3 ways for LA, MA and HA. Day 2: properties of equilateral, right angle, isosceles and scalene triangles. The worksheet is differentiated 3 ways for LA, MA and HA.

These are three lessons that I did with my year 6 class. Lesson 1: looks at finding the missing angle on a straight line and around a whole turn. On the PowerPoint, there is a printable worksheet which is differentiated for LA, MA and HA mathematicians. The answers are on the next slide. You could use these to get the class to self-mark and save your valuable teacher time! Lesson 2: revises learning from day before then moves onto finding the missing angles in triangles. My class had a basic knowledge of the features of an equilateral and isosceles prior to this but the lesson offers a brief opportunity to revise the features. On the PowerPoint, there is a printable worksheet which is differentiated for LA, MA and HA mathematicians. The answers are on the next slide. Lesson 3: this is a reasoning lesson during which I sent out my LAs to work with my TA on MA work from day before. The lesson looks at opposite angles and finding missing angles in diagrams that contain triangles. There is a Word document worksheet for MAs and HAs.

Here are 100 mental maths starters which I used for my year 6 class. Each slide also has the answers so you can quickly check them. These are all geared towards the Arithmetic paper in the SATs and helping your class become fluent in these skills. -converting improper fractions to mixed numbers -finding equivalent fractions -adding and subtracting fractions -square numbers -multiplying and dividing by 10,100 and 1000 -formal written method of multiplication -multiplying decimals -formal written method of division -formal written method of subtraction -multiplication fact questions -simplifying fractions -multiplying fractions -comparing fractions -adding and subtracting fractions -dividing fraction -converting 12 h to 24 h clock -multiplying fractions -factors -converting units of measurement And more!

These are 3 whole lessons on Powerpoint that I used to do a lot of revision of the formal written method of with my y6 class last year (they needed the extra practice!). They include lots of opportunities to discuss and model the method, differentiated practice questions (which they can answer on whiteboards) with answers on the next slide so the teacher can quickly check. on each lesson, there is a slide with the Learning Objective and a challenge the children to complete once they have finished independent work. The penultimate slide can be printed off and handed out as a worksheet (subtraction question are differentiated three ways: blue for LAs, orange for MAs and red for HAs). This can also be displayed on the board and the class choose their own level of difficulty. The final slide is the answers which you can use to get the class to mark their own work or the teacher to use -both save time!

This is an entire two lessons on comparing fractions that I have used to teach my year 6 class. It has chances for the teacher to discuss and model the method, differentiated practice slides and a final slide which can be printed off as a worksheet. Finally, I have included a challenge question which can be displayed while the children are working independently and that they can complete when they have finished. I have included the answers on a separate slide which you can use to get your class to mark their own work or just make the teacher’s marking quicker!

I have differentiated the work for LA, MA, HA and HHA. The lesson also includes a slide with the answers to save our valuable teacher time. Why not get your class to self-assess at the end of the lesson?

This is 2 complete lessons on multiplying proper fractions and mixed numbers; it includes differentiated practice questions, a printable (differentiated) worksheet and the answers to save our valuable teacher time. Why not get your class to self-assess at the end of the lesson?

These are two lessons I did with my year 6 class on finding fractions of amounts. It has lots of visuals showing how to find fractions of amounts. They contain lots of animations because it was easier to teach my class online this way! There are lots of differentiated practice questions with the answers of the next slide. For independent work, there is a differentiated slide which can be printed as a worksheet or the pupils can work from the board (if you want to save paper!). While they are completing their independent work, you can display the slide with the challenge on it which they can complete when they’ve finished. I have included the answers at the end to save teacher time -why not get your class to mark their own work!

These two lessons (which I made for my class when home learning) both contain lots of differentiated practice questions with clear visual explanations. Both lessons have a slide with questions differentiated 3 ways for independent work after teaching. This can printed off or they can work from the interactive whiteboard . I have included the answers so that you can get your class to self-mark or just to speed up your marking process (and save your valuable teacher time!).
