1, 3, 5, 7, and 9: We can't really feel anything right now.
Doctor: Okay, just make sure you don't get multiplied by 2.
1, 3, 5, 7, and 9: Why?
Doctor: Because you'll be even number.

You don't always need to "borrow" or regroup when subtracting mixed numbers. You can add or subtract the same number from both numbers so you're subtracting a whole number to make it easier.
ALT Person eating cereal looking at 4 1/2 - 2 7/8 saying "That's going to be so messy." Person spitting out the cereal after seeing 1/8 added to both numbers to make it 4 5/8 - 3 to equal 1 5/8.

Converting mixed number fractions into improper fractions.
Another area of fractions which children can struggle to grasp a solid understanding.
Here is a video of how we show children how to manipulate the tiles and pegs when converting.

Things you miss about UKS2 teaching
Multiplying fractions by integers can be a tricky concept to understand but this really helped children understand the structure to these types of questions.
I am firm believer that resources are for all children ๐งฎ

The review report on Shanghai maths points to a different teacher climate and culture. We are keen to import their practices but no so much what lies behind it.
Perhaps a similar professional culture in England would have an effect on rates of teacher retention.

Question for my maths friends: if you have a number with a decimal part, such as 124.35, is it an odd number or an even one? What are the 'rules'?

Want to blow Y3 minds with perimeter without books or photocopying?๐คฏ๐
You need:
-Children
-Trees
-String
-Rulers
โฆseeing ๐ฎ when a seemingly small leaf had a perimeter of 75cm was brilliant! Great concept intro & way to make it stick that perimeter is a measurable distance!

I do love the way they arrive at schools in tens within their very own little tens frame. To so many theyโre just a snack to be eaten, I see a learning opportunity. ๐

Ofsted report for all schools:
'It was immediately obvious to us the pressure you were under dealing with COVID, catch-up etc. So we did some skinny dips instead of deep dives and didnt ask students to remember any ridiculous facts. We have graded you Outstanding for effort.'
