Won't take the pain out of planning
This book is supposed to be based on the renewed framework for maths and claims to provide a complete set of lesson plans for each unit. While it does take some of the learning objectives from the framework and includes some useful lesson ideas and resources for individual objectives, the sequences of lessons are badly thought out. Lesson sequences (e.g. for units A1, B1 etc.) bear no resemblance to the 'learning overviews' published on the Standards Site and are certainly not an improvement on them.

I'm using both the Y5 and Y6 books to teach a mixed year class. Although not ideal for mixed teaching, I'm finding the series provides good planning guidance with interesting activities. Although I've only used the first three units so far, I believe they deal well with the repetition of the new framework. I'd recommend the books, especially to NQTs.

The reason they don't work particularly well with mixed year-groups is because although the unit objectives are closely related, the teaching sequence in both books is different for each unit. If the authors could have matched the lessons, they'd have been amazing books! As they are, they are more than useful for mixed-year group teaching and I would have been loving them if I had a single year-group to teach.

100 year 6 lessons
The boook like all of these is useful as a generic guide but you will need to add differentiation and some imagination to make it fit your class; which is to be expected. All that said the lessons are a great starting point and worth using.
