ANY BOOKLISTS HERE ARE FOR THE OLDER WEEKLY PLANS – they are NOT for the new Flexible Blocks which have their own booklists accessible here: https://www.hamilton-trust.org.uk/blog/flexible-blocks-booklists/
Flexible Blocks
Maths: Hamilton's short maths blocks have all the benefits of our weekly plans. They also provide support and resources that were simply not possible when we produced the weekly plans. Find out about the advantages of short blocks.
Problem-solving Investigations - Year 5/6
Hamilton provide weekly Mixed Year 5/6 maths problem-solving investigations (below). These mixed-age investigations below will be phased out when we phase out our mixed age weekly maths plans. Year 5/6 short maths blocks will be coming during Summer Term for September 2019 and will include investigations for every unit. Find out more about the timetable for Hamilton's Y35/6 maths blocks, including investigations.

Children work sytematically to find equivalent percentages of different amounts.
Children use knowledge of angles to draw lines of incidence and reflection on billiard tables of differing proportions. They identify patterns and make predictions.
Chidren use Durer's Magic Square and create two- or three-digit numbers and find the difference between different pairs. They identify patterns.
Children create a triangle of odd numbers and identify the patterns when rows are summed or their end numbers are averaged.
Children find the product of a pair of two-digit numbers then reverse the digits of both numbers and find an identical product.
Children apply their knowledge of time to solve a multi-step problem involving dates and organised reasoning.
Children find the answers to a sequence of fraction multiplications and look for patterns in the answers.
Children divide 1234, 2345, 3456 by 3, 4, 5.... and look for patterns in the remainders or decimal parts of the exact answers.
