Rapid Year 6 – Arithmetic, Grammar and Reading (40 Ten-Minute Activities)

Description

Year 6 Rapid: 40 ten-minute activities in arithmetic, grammar and reading

Rapid packs are quick whiteboard activities for the start of a lesson, the start of the day or any spare ten minutes. Each Year 6 pack has 40 activities in teaching order: a recap of Year 5 in the autumn term, building to end-of-year standard in the summer term. Every activity has a question slide and an answer slide, so children can mark their own work and you can talk through the answers.

Rapid Arithmetic Year 6

Six questions per activity covering everything on the KS2 arithmetic paper: long multiplication and long division, order of operations, decimals, all four operations with fractions, percentages, and squares and cubes. Answer slides show the written methods in full, with carried digits and exchanges, so children can see where a mistake happened.

Rapid Grammar Year 6

One grammar, punctuation or vocabulary topic per activity, including the passive, the subjunctive, formal and informal language, subject and object, word classes, semi-colons, colons, dashes, hyphens and bullet points, parenthesis, and two mixed ‘Test practice’ activities in the style of the KS2 grammar test. Children answer with letters or short words on paper or mini whiteboards.

Rapid Reading Year 6

Original texts written for Year 6 – stories, poems and non-fiction – with three questions per activity. Most texts run over two to four activities, and each part can be used on its own. Texts include The Keeper of the Bees, The Melting Arctic, Ada Lovelace, The Moon Landing, Echo Island, Phones in School: For and Against, The Evacuee, The Interview (a playscript) and The Silk Road. Mostly inference and explanation, with 2- and 3-mark questions in the summer term, as in the KS2 reading test.
