I have used these resources with groups of Key Stage 2 pupils of lower, higher and mixed ability, but they can also be used with Key Stage 1 pupils as they begin to learn their multiplication tables. They are activity/ quiz sheets with 20 multiplication questions - 12 about a particular times table and 8 ‘bonus’ questions from other times tables. The activity sheets can be used for: Times table revision Times table tests – with children working through the different times tables each week. They could even be awarded certificates if they achieve 20/20. Differentiation for more able pupils: Timed multiplication challenges: How many times table Qs can children answer in 1min/ 2min? This is an ideal resource for Year 3 and 4 pupils working towards the future Year 4 multiplication tests!

This Powerpoint includes step by step learning challenges to support pupils to understand, compare and round decimals. The task cards can be scaled down to A5 or printed two to a page for pupils to stick into their books as instruction cards. I have used these resources with my MA/LA Year 5 class, but they could be used or adapted for any Key Stage 2 Maths group.

This Powerpoint includes resources to introduce pupils to different types of angles, supporting them to name , sort and measure them. The task sheets can be reduced to A5 or printed two to a page so that pupils can stick them in for clear instructions. I used these resources with my MA/ LA Year 5 class, but they could be used or adapted for any Key Stage 2 Maths group.

This Powerpoint includes step by step learning challenges and task cards to support children's understanding of the properties of 2D and 3D shapes. Tasks include games, drawing activities, practical shape investigations and challenges. Slides can be scaled down to A5 (or printed 2 to a page) and then stuck into children's Maths books to give them clear instructions. I used these resources to support and challenge my MA/LA Year 5 Maths class, but they could be used or adapted for any Key Stage 2 Maths group.

This Powerpoint includes task cards and activities to support children to understand the vocabulary of division and the written methods needed to solve division questions. I used these resources with my LA/MA year 5 class, but they could be used or adapted for any KS2 Maths group.

This Powerpoint includes task cards, word problems and homework activities to support children to understand the vocabulary of addition and subtraction and the written methods needed to solve addition and subtraction questions and problems. I used these resources with my LA/MA year 5 class, but they could be used or adapted for any KS2 Maths group. The word problems contain references to Harry Potter and Peter Pan (and internet images from the films), as we were studying those texts at the time and I wanted cross- curricular links, but they could be adapted for any topic you are studying.

This powerpoint includes instructions and activities to develop pupil's understanding of character and talking, acting and writing in role. I have used them with Robin Hood and Alice in Wonderland (as well as the poem of The Highwayman), but they could be used with any narrative text you are studying. The powerpoint includes information about freeze frames, thought tracking and discussion activities and I have loved hearing the children's ideas - especially when they really get into their roles! I have found ideas are best once the children are really into the story and the activities have been brilliant to build up their ideas for writing first person accounts, diaries and narratives.

This is a board game to support KS2 pupils to develop the structure of their sentences. As pupils role the die and move around the board, they must edit their sentences in different ways, according to the instructions on the square they have landed on. Changes include adding conjunctions, building complex sentences, experimenting with relative clauses and adding description with adverbial phrases and expanded noun phrases, Pupils can be independent players, or work together in pairs. The ppt includes an instruction card and a game board which can be enlarged and laminated.

This is a blank, adaptable template for a week's Guided Reading. My class were grouped by ability and their activities were rotated each day: Adult- led reading Teacher - led reading Reciprocal reading (a group activity where pupils would read and discuss a shared text, taking on different roles) Paired reading. The plan could be used or adapted for any KS2 group.

I used this carousel of writing activities using conjunctions as a revision exercise for my year 6 class, but it could be used to introduce conjunctions to any KS2 class. Every pupil tried the 3 activities, but It could also be used as a differentiated writing activity with 3 levels of difficulty.

This is a blank planning template for Literacy, which could be used or adapted for any KS1 or KS2 class.

This is a differentiated measuring activity which I used for my mixed ability year 5 class, but could be adapted for any KS2 Maths group. I used it as part of World Book Day and it gave pupils a practical opportunity to practice their measuring and converting skills! A range of equipment (ingredients!) is needed, but it is worth it! LA = Orange (following instructions and reading scales to measure) MA = Yellow/ Purple (pupils also need their addition, subtraction and halving skills) HA = Blue/ Green (pupils also need to convert between ML and L)
