Lesson 4: Week 5 Title Mass Learning Objective:  solve measurement problems  understand and use words about mass  measure and compare using standard units. Mental Warm Up: Questions about different numbers. Main Lesson Idea: Today we are going to continue our work on mass. Educational Challenges  Check the order is correct by weighing the items using 10g weights.  Look at the food packages your teacher has given you.  Estimate which size of plastic bag to put 50g of the substance in.

Lesson 1: Week 6 Title Shape and Space Learning Objective:  recognise and describe turning movements  recognise half and quarter turns to the left or right  understand angle as a measure of turn  recognise right angles. Mental Warm Up: What do we know about the number 100? Main Lesson Idea: Today we are going to continue our work finding out about different turns and we are going to learn about a special size of turn called a right angle. Educational Challenges  Cut out a quarter of a circle to make a ‘right angle measurer’. Use it to find things which have right angles.  Make a ‘right angle measurer’. Can you think of things that have corners which are greater than or less than a right angle?

Lesson 3: Week 6 Title Shape and Space Learning Objective:  solve problems and recognise patterns  recognise and describe line symmetry  complete symmetrical patterns. Mental Warm Up: Put these weights into order – heaviest first. Main Lesson Idea: We are going to continue looking for and using lines of symmetry. Educational Challenges  Make symmetrical patterns with paint and paper or pegs and pegboards.  Find symmetrical letters. Make a poster.

I love to work through SATs papers are part of my revision program. These two PowerPoints are designed for whole class interaction. All the students need are some whiteboards. Each question is immediately followed by its answer. This has lots of motivational and organisational benefits. The first is the students get immediate feedback on their ideas and misconceptions, without needing to wait until the end of a test. It also means different students can explain each of their solving strategies to the class and help everyone become more effective learners. As the answers are straight after the questions, it is possible to simply use these PowerPoints for 5 minutes a day and still get the full benefit as all the questions are immediately solved. This is also a nice way of tutoring students at home. The tutor can then focus on the areas the students to need to work harder in.

Making multiplication times tables fun. These timetables books are both fun to make and fun to use. They are a great way of helping students to learn their multiplication tables. I was trying to think of different ways of making practicing time tables more fun. This is a fun activity. I wanted it to be tricky enough that there was more than one set of different timestables to use. I decided that 4 different varients meant no child could simply learn the numbers off by heart - by time they have completed all 4 books for each multiplication timetable, they will be proficient in that book. You can start off with the easier multiplication tables such as the x2, x5 and x10 for the beginners, before moving onto the middle range books such as x3, x4, x6 and x8. Finally rounding off with the most challenging books. Perfect for Homeworks etc. I have now made it into an easy print books to make your life easier. Child make mini origami books, each with the times table in them and then the answers at the end, so they can be used for self checking. If you prefer no answers, it is a matter of moments to edit out the answers using a paint program. They can be used for testing or simple revision.
