A summary A3 two sided PDF summarising some of the key things Year 6 just need to know ready for the KS2 SATs. An error on the mat has been corrected April 5th 2019! This has been devised to support teachers in the run up to SATs. There is also one for KS1 SATs

Some last minute engaging maths challenges inspired by Easter Eggs! Developing problem solving skills is so important in our young mathematicians.

This Powerpoint of 5 starter Christmas challenges is ideal to either revisit areas of maths or provide starting points for discussion. Possible routes, volume of presents, cost of postage, fractions and ratio are the areas of maths included in this editable resource. Teacher questioning will bring this to life and challenge thinking.

A simple game to consolidate recall of facts to 20, using 1 - 10 cards and a game board. Competitive and fun - the children love playing this four in a line game. If you use the, 'if its your go , you are talking' approach, playing games is a really good way to develop maths language. Instead of using counters, you could photocopy a smaller version of the board to stick in the children's books. They could try to make a track right across the board instead of connecting four squares.

5 powerpoint slides with a range of challenges linked to Christmas. Investigate the baubles on the tree, sort out Santa's sack problem, add consecutive numbers to reach the top of the tree.

A small set of questions based on the Y6 Revision Mat. Just some key things children just need to know ready for the KS2 SATs, e.g. what is a multiple? What is a trapezium? How many degrees in half a turn?

5 powerpoint slides to hook learners in to explore aspects of geometry further. How many different quadrilaterals can you see on a gate? How many different angles are created when a straight line crosses parallel lines?

Two practical ideas using treasure to deepen understanding. Recognise the place value of each digit in a three digit number. Add and subtract numbers with up to three digits, using the formal written methods of columnar addition and subtraction. The hook into learning comes from the picture book 'The Man Whose Mother was a Pirate' by Margaret Mahy.

A set of 5 power point slides to generate discussion about problem solving using multiplication and place value. Using leaves as the hook to learning, challenge children to find how many leaves altogether, or partition branches and leaves in different ways.

A set of colourful posters clearly showing the commutative nature of multiplication.
