This resource was made with the idea of giving Year 7 12 questions once a week in a tutor time. These questions are designed to review and practice different areas of the Maths the students should have learnt at KS2 and working towards topics they will have seen at the start of KS3 as the half terms progress. There are worded questions to build problem solving ability, definitions of keywords and timestables work looking at working forwards and backwards to help improve speed and fluency within Maths. Some of the topics included are: reading a clock, measuring lines, factorising, collecting like terms, perimeter of polygons, classifying angles, area There is space under the title for a school logo if you wish to add one. Answers are also included for ease of use.
