Extra Maths Support - Year 5
Each week, inevitably, there are some children who are unable to succeed on the age-related expected objectives. These extra support activities can be done by a teaching assistant with a small group of children. There are two activities for each week, linked to the maths in Hamilton’s plans for that week. Each activity consists of a detailed but simple bullet-pointed lesson outline for the TA and a Child Sheet. These intervention activities, if used consistently as you go along, have the potential to make a lot of difference to the children who are below ARE.
Back to the start (1): Adding/subtracting 1, 10, 100 and 1000 to/from 4-digit numbers (not crossing 10s, 100s or 1000s). Line 'em up (2): Placing 4-digit numbers on landmarked lines.
Digit dance (1): Using place value to add and subtract, e.g. 4582 + 300, 4582 - 50 (not crossing 10s, 100s or 1000s). Change challlenge (2): Using counting up (Frog) to calculate change from £50.
Left or right (1): Multiplying numbers with one decimal place by 10 and dividing 2-digit whole numbers by 10. Left, left or right, right? (2): Understanding place value in numbers with two decimal places; Beginning to multiply numbers with two decimal places by 100 and divide 3-digit numbers by 100.
Lost at sea (1): Plotting points in the first quadrant. Times table trick (2): Doubling the 3 times table to give the 6 times table.
Mammoth multiplications (1): Using known times tables and place value to multiply, e.g. 4 x 3, 4 x 30, 4 x 300. Multiplication splits (2): Using the grid method to multiply 3-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers.
Fraction facts (1): Finding simple unit and related non-unit fractions of amounts (1/3s, 1/4s and 1/5s). Decimal pictures (2): Equivalent fractions and decimals (halves, quarters and tenths).
Any left? (1): Using chunking to divide, answers between 10 and 20, with remainders. Tiny steps (2): Counting in steps of ½, 1/3, and ¼.
Guess my number (1): Understanding place value in 5-digit numbers. Hops, skips and jumps (2): Using counting up (Frog) to subtract 4-digit numbers from multiples of 1000 (e.g. 4000 - 3786), or when the larger number has zeros (e.g. 4002 - 3987).
Ali Ant's long walk (1): Finding perimeters. Rapid rectangles (2): Finding the area of rectangles.
Mark and round (1): Placing numbers with one decimal place on a number line; Rounding numbers with one decimal place to the nearest whole number. Frog's teeny hops (2): Finding the difference between decimal numbers on either side of a whole number, e.g. 1.8 and 2.3.
Awesome adders (1): Using compact column addition to add pairs of 3-digit numbers. Super scores (2): Using compact column addition to add pairs of 4-digit numbers.
