Day 1
Show/draw/interpret a bar chart, a pie chart and a line graph about pets. Share today’s ‘Top Tip for Tests’.
Group Activities: T with Y6
Y5 Use the in-depth problem-solving investigation ‘Graphing Number Patterns’ from NRICH as today’s group activity.

-- Interpret data presented on pictograms, bar charts and line graphs. Write questions for others to answer.
Y6 -- Interpret pie charts, pictograms, bar charts and line graphs.
-- Interpret data presented on pie charts. Create a pictogram.

Day 2
Write on the board: 24 + a =. Remind children that this is called an equation and ‘a’ stands for a mystery number. We could write an empty box instead. Share today’s ‘Top Tip for Tests’. Sketch a bar model to show this. What is a? Repeat for 30 – a = 24 and 6b = 48.
Further Teaching with Y6
List pairs of solutions for x + y = 12; then for m × n = 24.
Group Activities: T with Y6
Y5/Y6 -- Use bar models to represent equations. Solve equations with one unknown, with a range of operations.
Y6 -- Solve equations with one or two unknowns, with a range of operations.

Day 3
Show 1, 8, 15, 22, 29. Define key words: term/sequence/number. Children write the next three terms. Repeat for: 2, 5, 8, 11. Children describe the sequence and write what they think the 10th term will be. Draw a table, explain that n is the number of terms in the sequence and discuss what can be done to get to each term. Share today’s ‘Top Tip for Tests’.

Day 1
Compare areas of ponds by counting all the whole squares in one pond, then also count any squares that have half or more shaded. Children draw a rectangle with an area of 24cm² then calculate its perimeter. Challenge children to draw a ‘rectilinear’ shape with an area of 24cm², then find its perimeter. End by creating today’s ‘Top Tip for Tests’.
