Friday
I can investigate
Plenary
Target board
Monday
Focus on x by 10, 100 and
1000
Cold maths – Give the
children ten minutes to
answer questions on
multiples, prime numbers
and factors.
Target board
Tuesday
Focus on dividing by 10, 100
and 1000
Lesson focus - multiples
Using addition and subtraction as a focus, give
the children a number of questions. Show on
your examples how you have used rounding to
estimate the answers and then how to calculate
the accurate answers.
Year 4 – Maths on Target P 28
Year 5 - Maths on Target P18
Year 6 – Maths on Target P 23
Make sure some are completely accurately and
some are not to encourage the children to look
back over their work.
Play multiple madness – give each pair of
children two die. They throw them and
whatever number they throw they need to put
their counter down on a multiple of that
number. If the number has already been taken,
they need to find another one.
Target your maths P34 Year 6
Target your maths P24 Year 5
7 children will be
out during their
maths lesson, so
may use this time
for some
consolidation work.
Wednesday
Thursday
Put a mixture of addition
and subtraction questions on
the board, with either
incorrect place value or the
wrong answers. Ask the
children to use rounding to
estimate the approximate
answers.
Draw arrays of 8 squares, 10 squares and 16
squares.
Give the children the task based on the assessment in
the cold maths.
Tell the children that to find the factors you
are looking for the numbers that divide in
exactly to the initial given number.
For those who are not as secure with times tables and
division – give support with concrete materials.
Lesson focus – common
factors
Try some examples without having an array
drawn.
Racetrack – 4 times table.
Ask the children to call out
when they are finished so
that you can record their
times.
If any children get any of
the questions incorrect, ask
them to take home a
racetrack sheet for
homework.
Give out new homework.
Share Prime numbers powerpoint with the
children, recap on multiples and factors and
assess throughout with questioning.
Lesson focus – prime
numbers
10 – 2, 5, 1, 10 etc
Give the children the hundred square and work
together to cross out the multiples of the
tables given. Was there a pattern revealed?
