All four operation teacher instructions

The instructional booklet provided is a valuable resource for Year 6 teachers, offering a variety of activities to support the mastery of key mathematical operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Each activity is carefully aligned with the relevant Year 6 objectives, ensuring that the exercises are both appropriate and challenging for students at this level. The booklet clearly outlines the necessary equipment and resources for each activity, making it straightforward for teachers to prepare. Additionally, symbols are used throughout to indicate whether activities are best conducted with the whole class, in smaller groups, or in pairs.

Flexibility is at the core of this resource, allowing teachers to integrate these activities into their lesson plans as they see fit. They can be utilised at the start of a lesson to review and assess prior knowledge, during the main part of the lesson to reinforce new concepts, or at the end to evaluate students' progress. These activities are designed to complement the existing curriculum and can be particularly beneficial for children requiring additional support, as they can be revisited in intervention groups. For further enrichment, the KS2Gems website offers additional resources such as target boards and loop cards for all four operations, as well as the 'Four in Four' exercises to further enhance students' proficiency in these fundamental areas of mathematics.
