Tried and tested lesson used in an observation. Main teaching SMART Notebook included with differentiated Oral/Mental Starter. Children buy stock and design a dream hotel using HTU x U, TU x TU, Th H T U x U and HTU x TU. Easily differentiated for various ability groups with room for accelerated progress. Catalogue worksheet resources are in our FREE section (Easier SEN/LA resource included.)

A fun and engaging lesson for upper KS2 but easily adaptable for lower KS2. Tried and tested in Y6 (upper mid-low ability). Pupils will use prior knowledge and extend learning of fractions of amounts and mixed number and improper fractions to work out ‘who done it’. Based on the popular game of Cluedo (most recently known as Clue) the task is to solve where, when and who committed the maths crime by calculating fractions of amounts, converting mixed number and improper fractions and identifying equivalent fractions. Perfect for Ofsted, an observation, an interview or in addition to your weekly teaching. *FIND LESSON PLAN IN FREE RESOURCES. *Find all supporting worksheets in our PREMIUM resources. A ready-made, tried and tested, successful and highly rated lesson. Fully differentiated oral/mental starter, main session teaching and independent tasks.*

This resource is perfect for daily maths starters. All questions are based on the 2016 KS2 Arithmetic Paper. The presentation contains over 60 slides with top calculation tips and strategies for all arithmetic paper question types, from fractions to squared numbers. Each tip is then followed by a set of questions to practise and test their strategies. Answers to all questions are provided in the presentation notes!

Ideal for last-minute maths revision. 7 PDF files containing questions relating to key facts needed for new curriculum maths tests. My class have been filling in 1 or 2 daily just to keep their maths facts/knowledge fresh in their minds. Mats include: -conversions of units -properties of 2D and 3D shapes -doubles -fraction/decimal/ percentage equivalents -fractions of amounts -types of line -7 and 8 times tables

This power-point has practical tips, hints on test technique and opportunities to consolidate pupils' general knowledge needed for the current (2016) Reasoning Paper . It has been produced by Year 6 teachers to use as a an assessment tool throughout the year, revising reasoning paper content. It can be included in weekly planning, or at the end of a unit of work.

Another 5 starter PPTs for KS2 maths lessons. Topics include pairs to 60 (time), divisions, pairs to 1000, subtracting within 20 and adding within 20. Ideal for consolidation or quick revision before maths lessons. Weekly/daily use of these PPTs has made mental maths skills and recall of key facts much better with my current year 6 class. Hope you find them useful too!

To match the new 2016 tests, this presentation has 7 weekly mental maths tests which cover questions related to time, money, tables facts and more. It also covers the consolidation of key facts such as squaring/cubing numbers and conversions of time and length . In addition, there are 7 arithmetic paper sets of questions based on a range of skills from short multiplication to multiplying multiples of 10. These key skills were required for many questions on the 2016 maths papers so daily/weekly revision is essential. The 7 weeks cover the second half of the Autumn term. More presentations will follow for the rest of the year, which will develop other aspects of mental maths and arithmetic skills needed for the new style maths tests.

Lesson plan and resources for a tried and tested maths observation about short multiplication. I used this for a mid to low ability Year 6 class but resources could be easily adapted for any key stage 2 class. All resources are provided including starter 'Train your Brain' PPT and all differentiated worksheets.

Suitable for both KS1 and 2. The resources include 5 starter PPTs which can be easily adapted to a variety of topics. Ideal starters to revise topics quickly or consolidate key facts for daily work. Topics include mixed tables; multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 100; pairs to 100; pairs to 20 and doubles. More to follow this half term hopefully!

This resource gives handy hints, test technique pointers, example test questions and consolidation questions linked to several current (2016) test paper themes. Ideal for consolidation throughout the year. Covering the following areas: ordering time, calculating time intervals, using the inverse, reading time, coordinates, negative numbers, number lines, pie charts, rounding, symmetry and nets.

Here are a few more practical tips for particular topics from the reasoning papers. Each slide has a SATs qu with handy hints box and annotations. Slides: Ordering mixed unit length Ordering mixed decimals and fractions Measuring Angles in shapes Reading scales perimeter Bar charts Line graphs VENN diagrams Counting area Fractions of shapes Reasoning

A comprehensive 30 slide power-point presentation, which goes through all the key maths concepts that children need to know for the current KS1 reasoning paper including: Halving/doubling; odd and even; fractions of shapes and amounts; 2D and 3D shapes; direction and right angle turns; symmetry, data, symbols and counting forwards and backwards in steps. It can be used throughout the year to practise and revisit themes covered in units of work. There are also great opportunities for children to answer questions to develop their reasoning paper skills. This resource is also great value for money, as it can be used year upon year. Certain slides can be selected for teaching /revision sessions or it can be used for starters/plenaries.

I have used this resource in KS2, to either consolidate general tables knowledge, or to teach particular times tables. I have more recently used it to revise tables for SATs in Year 6!

These levelled questions linked to reasoning paper topics can be used to go over last minute examples with Year 6 children. Each set of questions are related to particular topics like data handling, fractions and area and perimeter. Look out for a Handy Hints power-point linked to identified gaps in this year's Reasoning Paper 2 ready for tomorrow's Reasoning Paper 3!
