Here are 3 high-quality lessons on decimals which is intended to follow on straight after the children have been taught a unit on fractions. A unit of fractions is available in my TES shop. The following learning objectives are covered: Lesson 1: Compare decimals (this is a practical lesson with plenty of visuals and explorative activities) Lesson 2: Order decimals (this lesson compares and orders decimals using a variety of contexts such as measurement) Lesson 3: Identify decimal equivalents to fractions (this is a practical lesson with matching activities) Each lesson Powerpoint follows the same maths lesson structure of: Revisit Address Misconceptions Vocabulary Focus Guided Practice Talk Task Deepen Independent Task The ‘Independent Task’ slide has a ‘Now, Next, Last’ visual to promote children’s independence in completing their tasks. The Powepoint is infused with STEM sentences, different representations, practical activities, fluency, and reasoning tasks. #decimals #decimalsfractions #fractions #year4 #NCETM #mastery #unit #

I am a maths specialist and have created a unit of work based off of the NCETM spines for division. This starts with the foundations of division and leads into short method/bus stop method for division. I have dived into a variety of high-quality resources including NCETM, White Rose and diagnostic questions. The activities and tasks have been specially designed and ordered to provide a solid understanding of division. There is a real mixture of resources used and combined to create a comprehensive unit that can be delivered straight from this download. Lesson 1: multiply and divide by 11 Lesson 2: multiply and divide by 12 Lesson 3: divide using resources (practical lesson) Lesson 4: divide two-digit numbers with remainders Lesson 5: divide two and three-digit numbers with remainders Lesson 6: use written method for division - no exchange (practical lesson) Lesson 7: use written method for division - no exchange (applying the new skill in books) Lesson 8: Use written method for division with one exchange (practical lesson) Lesson 9: Use written method for division with one exchange (applying the new skill in books) Lesson 10: Revise multiplying and dividing by 10 and 100. Each lesson follows the same maths lesson structure of: Revisit Address Misconceptions Vocabulary Focus Guided Practice Talk Task Deepen Independent Task The ‘Independent Task’ slide has a ‘Now, Next, Last’ visual to promote children’s independence in completing their tasks. The Powepoint is infused with STEM sentences, different representations, practical activities, fluency, and reasoning tasks.

This unit of work is based off of the NCETM lesson spines and is aimed at Year 4. Some tasks have been taken from White Rose to meet the learning objectives from the NCETM. There are two parts to this planning unit. PART 1: REVIEW OF FRACTIONS Lesson 1: Identify the whole and the parts Lesson 2: Identify equal and unequal parts Lesson 3: Construct the whole from one part PART 2: FRACTIONS Lesson 1: Write mixed numbers Lesson 2: Add and subtract mixed numbers from a part-whole model Lesson 3: Add and subtract mixed numbers Lesson 4: Label fractions on a number line Lesson 5: Identify how many fractional parts make a whole Lesson 6: Compare and order fractions on a number line Lesson 7: Compare and order fractions Lesson 8: Compare and order fractions with the same numerator Lesson 9: Add fractions with the same denominator Lesson 10: Subtract fractions with the same denominator Lesson 11: Add and subtract fractions Lesson 12: Identify equivalent fractions Lesson 13: Identify equivalent fractions Some of these lessons are intended to be purely practical, working with whiteboards and physical resources/manipulatives. This is stated on the first page of each lesson on the PowerPoint. Lessons that are designed to be in books have tasks that are easily written into books by childen or come with a ‘Fluency, Problem-solving, Reasoning’ sheet to show clear progression. These lessons are provided with a ‘next step’ to move children on even further in their learning. Each PowerPoint follows the structure of: Revisit, Address Misconceptions, Vocabulary, Focus, Guided Practice, Talk Task, Deepen, Independent Practise, Next Steps. #ncetm #year4 #fractions #year4fractions #ks2 #ks2fractions #maths #mathsmastery #diagnosticquestions #stemsentences #mastery #progression #numerator #denominator #mixednumbers

In this unit of work you are downloading 15 lessons. Each lesson comes with a Powerpoint presentation. The number of lessons can be extended if you decide to add a ‘edit and improve’ session and a ‘publishing’ session on produced pieces of work. This unit is inspired by the Power of Reading unit for Hot Like Fire by Valerie Bloom. The book is not needed as all resources needed from the book have been typed up and provided into the download unit. Learning Objectives are as follows: PART 1: Session 1: to annotate a poem (exploration of ‘Grandma, Bandana an’ me’ and ‘How to ask for a hamster’) Session 2: understand language used in a poem (translating the poem ‘De Familiar thing’ from Jamaican dialect to English) Session 3: Understand the meaning behind words (dramatising the poem De Bread Van’) Session 4: Identify the difference between poetry and prose The following sessions follow a writing cycle which allows build-up to a piece of writing/ Session 5: understand and annotate a poem (‘The People Next Door’) Session 6: Identify and use conjunctions Session 7: plan a responding letter (to the invite to dinner that is given to the audience in the poem ‘The people next door’) Session 8, 9 and 10 can be a writing session, editing session and then publishing session. PART 2: This part of the planning unit is exploring and writing with inspiration by Valerie Bloom’s ‘The River’ poem. Session 1: Explore a poem (The River by Valerie Bloom and then 'Life is Like a River by Patricia Walter) Session 2: understand rhyming patterns Session 3: Create my own rhyming poem (inspired by the river poems) Session 4: Create a drama piece PART 3 This part of the planning unit is about creating poems about chocolate, using the learning and inspiration that has been covered int he last two parts. Session 1: Use onomatopoeia and alliteration Session 2: Use rhyming couplets and expanded noun phrases Session 3: Experience chocolate for our poems Session 4: Plan our poems This will then lead onto a writing session, editing and publishing session. #powerofreading #valeriebloom #grandmabandanaandme #theriver #chocolate #jamaica #poetryunit #poetry #ks2 #year3 #year4 #english #writing #writingpoems

Here are 24 lessons based on the book The Nothing To See Here Hotel by Steven Butler. Each lesson up to lesson 15 comes with a Powerpoint and a task. Each task if based off of the reading VIPERS. There are 24 tasks planned to be completed in books and 15 of these tasks come with Powerpoints attached. This was taught to Year 4 but can easily be taken and slightly adapted to Year 3 and 5. Each Powerpoint follows the structure: Talk Task (discussion question based on the book) Vocabulary (introducing new words they may come across in today’s reading) Focus (main reading part with a focus question) Deepen (children asked to explain something) Independent Activity (questions in Guided Reading books based on the VIPERS) Exit Pass (summarising quick question) #guidedreading #stevenbutler #KS2reading #LKS2 #VIPERS #year4 #year3 #year5 #guidedreadingunit #nothingtoseeherehotel #thenothingtoseeherehotel #brighton

This is a unit of work that is inspired by the planning from NCETM Year 4 Unit 5. The learning outcomes that the NCETM state are covered in this unit if planning are as follows: 1 Pupils represent counting in sevens as the 7 times table 2 Pupils explain the relationship between adjacent multiples of seven 3 Pupils use their knowledge of the 7 times table to solve problems 4 Pupils identify patterns of odd and even numbers in the times tables 5 Pupils represent a square number 6 Pupils use knowledge of divisibility rules to solve problems In this unit of work the learning objectives are the following: Revise column method for + and - Count in and multiply by 7 Solve 7 times table problems Identify patterns of odd and even numbers in times tables Identify square numbers Find divisibility rules Find divisibility rules Each lesson follows the Powerpoint slide structure of: Revisit Address Misonceptions Vocabulary Focus Guided Practice TalkTask Deepen Independent Practice These lessons follow a mastery approach and have been commented on by OFSTED as being a great tool for great maths teaching. Print-outs are provided. The following elements are mastery teaching are used throughout: stem sentences, generalisations, high-level vocabulary, the slides allow for a ping-pong approach, clear and varied visual representations, opportunities for using resources etc. Worksheets provided follow the structure of: Fluency, Problem-solving and Reasoning to ensure progression. 3 of these lessons are not intended to be in books and do not come with ‘next steps’ but the rest do. This is to allow next steps and progress to be een within books for that lesson.

You will be downloading a Powerpoint for a series of lessons that cover the following objectives, stated by the NCETM for Year 4: 1 Pupils represent counting in threes as the three times table 2 Pupils explain the relationship between adjacent multiples of three 3 Pupils use knowledge of the three times table to solve problems 4 Pupils represent counting in sixes as the six times table 5 Pupils explain the relationship between adjacent multiples of six 6 Pupils use knowledge of the six times table to solve problems 7 Pupils use known facts from the five times table to solve problems involving the six times table 8 Pupils explain the relationship between multiples of three and multiples of six 9 Pupils use knowledge of the relationships between the three and six times tables to solve problems 10 Pupils represent counting in nines as the nine times table 11 Pupils explain the relationship between adjacent multiples of nine (1) 12 Pupils explain the relationship between adjacent multiples of nine (2) 13 Pupils use known facts from the ten times table to solve problems involving the nine times table 14 Pupils explain the relationship between multiples of three and multiples of nine 15 Pupils explain the relationship between pairs of three and nine times table facts that have the same product (1) 16 Pupils explain the relationship between pairs of three and nine times table facts that have the same product (2) 17 Pupils use the divisibility rules for divisors of three 18 Pupils use the divisibility rules for divisors of six (1) 19 Pupils use the divisibility rules for divisors of six (2) The learning objectives of the lessons included in the unit of work are: 1: Identify the multiplier and multiplicand 2: Count in and multiply by 3 3: Count in and multiply by 6 4: find the relationship between 3 and 6 times tables 5: count in and multiply by 9 6: Find links between the 3, 6 and 9 times table 7: Find links between the 3, 6 and 9 times table 8: Identify numbers divisible by 3, 6 and 9 times table. 9: Multiply 3 digit numbers together. Each lesson follows the structure and has a slide for each step: Revisit Address misconceptions Vocabulary Focus Guided practice Talk task Deepen Independent Practice Next Step Lessons come with accompanying worksheets that are structured into Fluency, Problem-solving and Reasoning tasks. Lessons are also accompanied by next steps which can be stuck into books. The planning is heavily inspired by the NCETM but I have broken the lessons down into my own PowerPoints to ensure the steps taught are very small so all can access. This unit takes on a mastery approach to teaching maths and has been highly effective in my own classroom. Included within the powerpoints are visual representations, small tasks for a ping-pong approach, stem sentences, high-level mathematical vocabulary, now/next/last visuals for SEN learners. #ncetm #unit4 #year4 #mathsmastery =stemsentences #timestables

Here are 20 lessons based on the book The Great Chocoplot by Chris Callaghan. Each lesson comes with a Powerpoint and a task. Each task if based off of the reading VIPERS. This was taught to Year 4 but can easily be taken and slightly adapted to Year 3 and 5. Each Powerpoint follows the structure: Talk Task (discussion question based on the book) Vocabulary (introducing new words they may come across in today’s reading) Focus (main reading part with a focus question) Deepen (children asked to explain something) Independent Activity (questions in Guided Reading books based on the VIPERS) Exit Pass (summarising quick question) #guidedreading #chriscallaghan #KS2reading #KS2 #reading #thegreatchocoplot #chocolate #year3 #year4 #year5 #VIPERS #wholeclassguidedreading #guidedreadinggroup

This lesson explicitly addresses racism that may have been happening in your school or class. The learning objective is to understand what racism is. The first slides focuses on what racism is and has a link to a child friendly youtube video to answer this question. The next few slides focus on identity and how someone’s identity is who they are and many of these qualities you cannot change ie. skin colour, sexual orientation, likes, dislikes etc. One of the slides addresses the fact that just because someone has a different preference or quality to you doesn’t mean it effects you personally. We are all different but that does not matter - we all have the same community and need to work together. There is another link to a Youtube story ‘a kids book about racism’ by Jelani Memory. We then look at WHY someone might grow up with racist views ie. parents, closed-minded etc. We then discuss how you can be racist without realising ie. saying certain words or stereotyping. We then look at quotes and we address why those comments are racist. The next few slides show motivational posters to stop racism which are a discussion point. I have attached Twinkl’s racism scenario cards which is what my class responded to in their books. #racism #anti-racism #racist #anti-racist #pshe #inclusivity #equality #diversity#equalityanddiversity

Created with Year 3 and 4 in mind. This unit comes with a Powerpoint for each lesson and attached resources. I have provided SEN/EAL word banks within this unit if work too. Many of the lessons have simplified and differentiated worksheets and tasks for significant SEN and EAL pupils. There are 13 lessons provided but this can be extended to 19 lessons if you follow my notes below. Week 1: Lesson 1: Illustrate the opening of Iron Man. Lesson 2: Use conjunctions Lesson 3: Use similes Lesson 4: Write from Hogarth’s point of view (when he first sees Iron Man) Lesson 5: Write a diary entry from Hogarth’s point of view Week 2: (structured writing cycle) Lesson 6: Plan a diary entry (More structure for the next diary entry which is about when Hogarth traps Iron Man in a deep hole) Lesson 7: Write a diary entry I then used the rest of this week to finish writing, edit writing and publish writing which took this to a whole week) Week 3: Lesson 8: Collect impressive adjectives to describe the scrapyard Lesson 9: Create a piece of art inspired by the scrapyard ‘Extra SPAG lesson expanded noun phrases’ taught here. Week 4: Lesson 10: Identify and use similes and metaphors Lesson 11:Plan a suspenseful horror poem (WAGOLL provided) Lesson 12: Write a suspenseful horror poem I then used the rest of week 4 to finish writing, edit and improve, and publish.

Here are 16 lessons with tasks that go up to Chapter 6 of the book. Each Powerpoint consists of the following slides: Revisit Talk Task Vocabulary Focus Deepen Independent Activity Exit Pass This was aimed at Year 4 pupils but could be easily adapted. The planning goes over a few lessons per chapter so it can be studied in depth. My class loved this book and enjoyed the tasks that we did based around the text. #kasperprinceofcats #michaelmorpurgo #guidedreading #guidedreadingplanning #year3 #year4 #year5

This unit of work involves 5 lessons that are creative and go into depth in inferring from the text. This is a unit of work that works on inference and understanding the text. It mostly follows the plan from the CPLE Power of Reading planning for this book. The lessons have some writing opportunities, group work activities and drama/role-play activities. Lesson 1 - Infer from illustrations Lesson 2 - Write an encouraging letter Lesson 3 - Share my opinions about the character’s actions Lesson 4 - Explore the impact of language choic Lesson 5 - Ask questions Each lessons comes in its own Powerpoint. The book can be accessed online via Youtube. Each lesson has a section for a quick spelling practice that currently include Year 4 spellings but this can be easily changed. Each lesson has a short grammar warm up and ends with a word game.

Here are Powerpoint slides of four lessons based on the planning from Understanding Christianity. This is aimed at Years 3 and 4. In this unit there is a variety of activities such as creative art activities as well as a writing task. This is ready to download and teach. The learning objectives for each lesson are as follows: Lesson 1: Engage in the story of Creation and Fall Children listen to the story of Creation and go on a mindful walk around the school grounds to look at any nature they can see and appreciate that Christians believe this was created by God. They return and explore the concept of temptation first-hand and then explore the panel images that represent creation and fall from the Understanding Christianity unit. Lesson 2: Enquire into Christian belief that humans cannot get close to God without his help Here children will explore the feelings of Adam, Eve and God when Eve betrayed them. The outcome of this lesson is a diary entry of Eve exploring how she feels. Children will understand the importance of saying sorry and taking responsibility for their actions. Lesson 3: Explore that the bible shows God wants to help people by giving guidelines Children will explore the ten commandments and watch videos of two different types of churches that serve God in different ways. Their task is to create a piece of art based on one of or all of the ten commandments. Examples are included. Lesson 4: Evaluate and express our learning about creation and fall This lesson will consist of children ordering the story of creation as a reminder, completing a quiz either individually or in teams about the creation story. There is then a selection of activities to choose from in two sections: writing or drawing. Included: The Powerpoint with all of the links required inside The quiz for lesson 4 #understandingchristianity #RE #christian #creation #thefall #adamandeve #unit #religion #religiouseducation #God #Bible

9 weeks worth of homework! Each week consists of two sets - one for on track learners and one for ‘SEN’ learners. The SEN homework is slightly more visual and goes through the KS1 spellings. The on-track homework takes spellings from the Year 3/4 government spelling list. The homework is intended to be printed double sided with a times table task on one side and spellings on the other. The homework has the due date written on the top of the page which is due in on Fridays but this can easily be amended. #homework #timestables #multiplication #spelling #year3 #year4

This unit of work involves 7 lessons that are creative and go into depth in inferring from the text. This is a creative unit if work which requires less writing and more hands-on, illustrative work. It mostly follows the plan from the CPLE Power of Reading planning for this book. It is a good unit of work to do when returning to school from a holiday break. Lesson 1 - Exploring the cover Lesson 2 - Exploring illustrations Lesson 3 - Understanding and emphathising with characters Lesson 4 - Tracking the emotional journey through text and illustration Lesson 5 - Understanding and illustrating characters Lesson 6 - Design the next page in the book Lesson 7 - Infer the characters’ feelings Each lessons comes in its own Powerpoint. The book can be accessed online via Youtube.

Each lesson follows the same maths lesson structure of: Revisit Address Misconceptions Vocabulary Focus Guided Practice Talk Task Deepen Independent Task The ‘Independent Task’ slide has a ‘Now, Next, Last’ visual to promote children’s independence in completing their tasks. The Powepoint is infused with STEM sentences, different representations, practical activities, fluency, and reasoning tasks. The overall structure of the unit is inspired by the NCETM for Year 4 and some questions and representations are taken from White Rose. There is a real mixture of resources used and combined to create a comprehensive unit that can be delivered straight from this download. The lesson objectives are as follows: Identify place value Use column addition with regrouping Use column addition with regrouping twice Use column addition with regrouping twice Decide on mental or written strategies Solve addition problems Identify the minuend and subtrahend Use column subtraction Use column subtraction Use column subtraction with one exchange Use column subtraction with one exchange Use column subtraction with one exchange Use column subtraction with one exchange Use column subtraction with two exchanges There are multiple lessons on subtraction with one exchange as this is where I have found children struggle the most within the unit. There are multiple lessons with multiple representations and a variety of challenging questions which extend those who do grasp this concept quickly. #mastery #year4 #addition #subtraction #writtenmethod #columnmethod #exchange ##regroup #NCETM #Whiterose #placevalue

This unit if work is inspired by the NCETM unit of work for Year 4 - Unit 2 - Numbers to 10,000 Most resources and slides are made by myself but some high quality activities have been clipped from NCETM and White Rose. The objectives covered per lesson are as follows: Know what 1000 is made up of (representations up to 1000) Use knowledge of 1000 to explain and measure conversions Add multiples of 10 Add multiples of 100 Use knowledge of 1000 to add and subtract Compare numbers to 10,000 Identify and estimate numbers on a number line Round to the nearest 1000 Round to the nearest 100 Apply rounding to problems Add and subtract four digits Know how many 25’s and 50’s make 1000 This unit of work cross-teaches many topics in maths and includes a lot of capacity and measure problems. Each lesson follows the lesson slide structure of: Revisit Address misconception Vocabulary Focus Talk Task Guided Practice Deepen Next steps (if it aimed to be a lesson that goes into books, which most are)
