I created this code breaking maths lesson for an Ofsted observation. The children thoroughly enjoyed it and had so much fun (whilst still learning). The children are told that they have been selected by the local police to solve a crime. Unfortunately, all of the money from the school office has been stolen and an artist impression of the suspects has been provided. The children must crack the secret police codes to elimate the innocent suspects (cross them off) and reveal the final two suspects. Once this has been completed the last clue is placed on the IWB. Children get a reward for helping the police! I have differentiated the 4 ways questions (HIPPO - the highest, MOUSE - the second highest, HA - third highest, LA - lowest) but they could be adapted to any year group! I have also included the lesson plan and PowerPoint to help clarify the task. Enjoy! 1st answer = MAN 2nd answer = HAT 3rd answer = BEARD 4th answer = GLASSES 5th answer = MOUSTACHE 6th answer = GINER 2 SUSPECTS LEFT = Kenny and Eric THIEF IS = KENNY *PLEASE NOTE I HAVE ADDED 2 ADDITIONAL DIFFERENTIATED SHEETS AND A POWERPOINT*

Differentiated worksheets for an introduction to a written method of division with KS2.

Introduction for KS2 maths on mode, median, mean and range with quick-fire tasks for the children to complete on mini-whiteboards.

LA worksheet has the coins provided and the children are required to circle the amounts requested. HA worksheet has the coins, which the children may use at the top. They must find three different ways of making each amount (using only the coins provided at the top).

Created for my Year 5 class, the children responded really well to the resource and the various activities within.

This was used within an Year 5 session to introduce 'Gases around us&'.

This is a story map template used for KS1 to help plan their fantasy stories. Useful tool in getting children to think about the different stages of their story.

Revision aid for KS2 optional SATS.

This is a codebreaking resource to reinforce the addition of decimal numbers. The children have to work out the calculations and match their answer to a coded letter at the top of the page. Once they have worked out all of the answers they will crack the code and receive the prize (it currently spells out - HOUSE POINT) but this could easily be adapted and changed. There are 2 differentiated codebreaker activity sheets (HA and LA).

I created this PowerPoint of 47 Slides of different morning 'Brain Gym' activities. I put one of these up on the IWB at the beginning of everyday for the children to complete. They know to start as soon as they come in and they love discussing them and sharing their ideas. The brain gym PowerPoint is easily adapted and I often add to it each morning too,

Great task for KS1 SATS prep. I created this resource after reading and allowing the children to watch (BBC clip) 'Katie Morag delivers the Mail&'. I also provided the LA children with copies of the book to guide them.

Problem-solving activity which includes multi-step problems differentiated 2 ways. Children will need a copy of the 'Holiday on the Island of Coll' problem-solving sheet to enable them to answer the questions.

I created this resource for my Year 2 class who were focusing on Katie Morag and the topic 'Living on an Island&'. I used a map of the Isle of Struay and created questions based on the coordinates.

Ask the children to choose 4 numbers from slide 3 and write them on their mini whiteboards. The children must work out the column subtraction either on whiteboards or in their maths books. First child to call bingo wins! Ask the children to choose a new set of numbers (or carry on playing)

Children to play this game in pairs. Focuses on multiplying by 10 and 100.

Upon introducing Long Multiplication to my Y5 class, I found that providing them with a 'step to success' prompt really benefitted their understanding of the process. I began by teaching 2-digit x 1-digit then onto 3-digit x 1 digit and progressed onto 2-digit x 2-digit and finally 3-digit x 2-digits. I have also attached a PowerPoint presentation which I have adapted offline, which I used to aid my teaching.

KS2 History - The Fall of the Roman Empire. Why did it happen? Children learn about the invasions of the Scots, Picts and Anglo-Saxons on a PowerPoint, which has additional tasks to complete. Children then have to create a timeline of events, which has been differentiated three ways (LA, MA, HA). LA - children to simply cut out, order the events based on dates and then stick them down. MA - Children have been provided with all of the images and information, however they have been mixed up - these children must cut out all of the images and information separately and match them together. HA - These children have been given all of the images and dates, however they need to come up with their own captions to explain each event.

I have attached a lesson plan, research questions and individual planet research. The children were put into mixed ability groups of 3/4 (depending on the amount of questions provided for each planet). Each group will be given 1 planet to research and each person in the group will be given a set of research questions to find the answers to (these question cards have been differentiated). The groups must then find the answers to their questions using the printed information attached, iPads, internet and books. I got the children to present their information on strips of coloured paper (similar to the colour of their planet), these strips of information were then stuck onto cut out planets (2 sides) the two sides were then stuck together with wire suporting them inside and we hung them on our classroom ceiling (in the correct order M,V,E,M,J,S,U,N - we also created a sun to hung before Mercury and decorated the planets with strips of metallic paper, glitter, tissue etc). They look fab!

This is a collection of work based on Multiples, Factors and Squared Numbers. There is a detailed PowerPoint, which I used over 2 weeks and a range of worksheets and differentiated activities to complete.

I created these visual activities to reinforce Place Value in KS1. There is 3 lessons worth of interactive Place Value activities. The children found the visual resources really engaging and enjoyed completing them. Each activity has been differentiated 3 ways.
