Sets of 10 words at a time from the Year 5 and 6 New Curriculum Spelling lists. The word grids can be used with a partner to test each other or could be used independently. I have also provided incorrect spelling races where children must correct each spelling within a time frame. An alternative game is to have them checked by an adult then sent to alter spellings which are still incorrect either for house points or against the clock.

To match the new 2016 tests, this presentation has 7 weekly mental maths tests which cover questions related to time, money, tables facts and more. It also covers the consolidation of key facts such as squaring/cubing numbers and conversions of time and length . In addition, there are 7 arithmetic paper sets of questions based on a range of skills from short multiplication to multiplying multiples of 10. These key skills were required for many questions on the 2016 maths papers so daily/weekly revision is essential. The 7 weeks cover the second half of the Autumn term. More presentations will follow for the rest of the year, which will develop other aspects of mental maths and arithmetic skills needed for the new style maths tests.

Another 5 starter PPTs for KS2 maths lessons. Topics include pairs to 60 (time), divisions, pairs to 1000, subtracting within 20 and adding within 20.

Hope you find them useful too!

Suitable for both KS1 and 2. The resources include 5 starter PPTs which can be easily adapted to a variety of topics. Ideal starters to revise topics quickly or consolidate key facts for daily work.

As an extra challenge, each question has a letter at the bottom, which creates an anagram for 3 separate Roald Dahl book titles. All answers are provided! I'm going to put the questions up around the school as part of a carousel of activities one morning.
