Further Teaching with Y6
Children use digits 1 to 7 to make whole numbers between 3 million and 4 million. Ask them to hold up numbers according to digits in given positions. Some children place their numbers on a 3,000,000 to 4,000,000 line. Children write numbers which round up/down to 6,000,000. End with today’s ‘Top tip for tests’.
Group Activities: T with Y6
Y5 Use the in-depth problem-solving investigation ‘Lost digit’ as today’s group activity.
Or, use these activities:

Y5: Out at Sea
Understanding negative numbers.

Day 1
Children calculate missing digits in a column addition, then come up with additions and subtractions with answers in given ranges. Share today’s ‘Top Tip for Tests’.
Group Activities: T with Y5 or Y6

-- Write column additions and subtractions, then erase digits for other pairs to calculate.
Y6 -- Practise compact column methods for addition and subtraction.

Day 2
Sapna buys 2 CDs for £4.79 each, a DVD for £11.50 and a pack of batteries for £4.25. Find the change from £30. Demonstrate using a bar model to represent this problem. Show some workings-out, with an error. Discuss. Share todays’ ‘Top Tip for Tests’.
Group Activities: T with Y5 or Y6
Y5 -- Interpret and solve problems with two calculation steps.
-- Collaborate to find pairs of amounts of money with a total of £44.44. and pairs of lengths with a total of 33.3cm.
Y6 -- Interpret and solve problems with more than one calculation step.

Y5: Super 7000
Using compact column addition to add pairs of 4-digit numbers.

Day 1
Children hold digit cards on either side of a decimal point and move to multiply or divide by 10/100/1000. Children choose function machines to convert between units. Share today’s Top Tip for Tests.
Further Teaching with Y5
Make a list of Roman numerals from 1 to 10, then 10s numbers to 100. Use this to write numbers less than 100. Then show how to write numbers greater than 100, demonstrating use of C, D and M.
Group Activities: T with Y5
Y5 -- Derive Roman numerals 0 to 300.
-- Derive Roman numerals 0 to 1000. Attempt addition using Roman numerals.
Y6 -- Practise multiplying numbers by 10 and 100.
-- Multiply and divide by 10, 100 and 1000, including converting units of measurement.

Day 2
Point out that on TV or at the end of films, the year is sometimes given in Roman numerals. Tell a brief history of zero. Write Roman numerals using the ‘Dates’ resource sheet.
Further Teaching with Y6
Children list all the factors of 42. If we know 6 × 7 = 42, what is 6 × 0.7? 6 × 0.07? What is 42 ÷ 6? 4.2 ÷ 6? 0.42 ÷ 6? Use number facts and place value to create other lists of facts. Share today’s ‘Top Tip for Tests’.
Group Activities: T with Y6
Y5 Use the in-depth problem-solving investigation ‘Martian numbers’ as today’s group activity.
Or, use these activities:
-- Collaborate to write Roman numbers, using a fixed number of numerals, within a given range.
Y6 -- Use number facts and place value to multiply and divide decimals.

Day 3
Use rounding and estimation to order answers to 6 × 4572, 3 × 8457 and 4 × 3762, then calculate exact answers.
Further Teaching with Y6
Show a worked example of 24 × 2153. Spot the error: untidy work has led to wrongly adding the ‘carry’ figures in the addition at the end. End by sharing today’s ‘Top Tip for Tests’.
Group Activities: T with Y6
Y5 -- Create 1-digit by 3-digit multiplications with odd/even answers and answers within given ranges.
-- Create 1-digit by 4-digit multiplications with odd/even answers and answers within given ranges.
Y6 -- Round numbers to estimate products. Choose an appropriate method for accurate written multiplication.
-- Choose an appropriate method for accurate written multiplication.

Day 4
Write 496 ÷ 3, 496 ÷ 6, 496 ÷ 12 and 896 ÷ 3. Children discuss which will have the smallest/biggest answer and why. Each quarter of the class then solve one of the divisions using short division. Help to write each remainder as a fraction, simplifying where possible.
Further Teaching with Y6
Use long division to solve a word problem. Revise that making a list of multiples of the divisor is helpful. Record this as today’s ‘Top Tip for Tests’. Then solve another division word problem.
Group Activities: T with Y6
Y5 -- Divide 3-digit and 4-digit numbers by a 1-digit number, using short division.
Y6 -- Use multiples of 15 to divide numbers between 150 and 1000 by 15.
