Spotlight Y5 Bar Models for Equivalent Calculations

Spotlight Sheets: focused practice, one question type at a time Within a single small step, pupils often meet a range of question types. For many children this provides valuable challenge. For others, moving between question types can make it harder to secure the underlying concept. Spotlight Sheets address this by isolating one question type at a time. Pupils can practise it with focus, develop fluency and build confidence before moving on to mixed questions. They are well suited to targeted intervention, same-day catch-up, or any pupil who benefits from a more focused approach. Differentiated in three ways Sheet 1: Supported: Bar models show that both calculations are equal. Pupils find the missing part. Sheet 2: Core: Larger numbers, and the missing number can be first. Sheet 3: Extended: Some numbers are clues, such as double 40 or the prime after 3. Please note: Master the Curriculum is an independent resource provider.
