What's included in the Represent Numbers to 1,000,000 Varied Fluency resource and why is it useful?

Year 6 Numbers to 1,000,000 Varied Fluency is a set of worksheets during the Try it/You do section of your maths lesson. Each set has been carefully designed to help you meet each child where they are at to ensure progress for every child, not just the average child. The content includes a knowledge organiser for Numbers to 1,000,000 and 4 levelled worksheets covering determining the value of each digit in numbers up to 10,000,000.

Knowledge Organiser

• Designed to support all children via key information and examples.

Scaffolded Examples

• Supported versions of the core questions, using sentence stems and a partly-completed sequence.

Support

• Q1: Read a six-digit number from a place value chart (fewer placeholders).

• Q2: Count back in ten thousands from a number on a chart.

• Q3: Find a missing part in a part-whole model (two parts).

Core

• Q1: Read a six-digit number from a place value chart, using zero as a placeholder.

• Q2: Count back in ten thousands, crossing a hundred thousands boundary.

• Q3: Find a missing part in a part-whole model (three parts).

Stretch

• Q1: Read a chart where a column holds more than nine counters, then regroup.

• Q2: Reason about counting back in ten thousands with no chart to help.

• Q3: Find a missing part in a part-whole model (four parts).

How do our varied fluency resources work?

Our varied fluency resources are not just about differentiation, but differentiation in an adaptive way. They work best alongside our teaching PowerPoints, which walk you through the whole lesson along with other lesson resources that you can find on our Numbers to 1,000,000 lesson page.

• After completing the main teaching of the Teaching PowerPoint (PPT), teachers assess whether children are ready to access their Varied Fluency worksheet or require support from the Scaffolded Examples sheet, based on how they have performed during the Model it (I do) / Practise it (We do) / Try it (You do) sequence.

• If any children need additional support, they can use the Scaffolded Examples sheet. This gives children the opportunity to secure key skills required for the Varied Fluency worksheet before they move on to it. The Scaffolded Examples sheet is designed to be completed as a group with a classroom adult.

• If children do not need the Scaffolded Examples, they can progress straight to a Varied Fluency worksheet suited to their level of understanding.

• Most children will use the Core sheet for their Varied Fluency practice.

• Some children may need the Support sheet. This is designed to be used after the Scaffolded Examples sheet, but some children might access this sheet without having used that scaffold.

• Some children may need additional challenge; the Stretch sheet will deepen their understanding of the core content.

Adaptive Maths Resources are not a separate lower-attainment route. They provide temporary and responsive support to help pupils access the same intended learning.
