50-in-5-v-5.1 50 mental arithmetic questions - the challenge is for pupils to complete them in 5 minutes. F9 changes the questions so pupils can be working on different questions and can have another go to try to beat their time. Cells change to green if answer is correct. Easy visual for teacher to monitor progress. Different colour coded tabs according to ability (approx old NC level 3 to level 6) as well as targeted practice for negative number calculations, multiplication and division. There is now a new tab for number bonds. The 'target' number can be changed (e.g. 60, 180 etc). 50-in-5-negative-numbers-worksheet-generator-v2.1 There is an associated additional negative numbers worksheet with associated answers. F9 changes the numbers, so you can give alternate students a different set of questions to avoid copying etc.

Target 100

Resource was inspired by @mrbartonmaths and @danicquinn Skills and drills generator including: rounding/halving/doubling, negatives, 1-step equations, squares/triangular numbers/cubes/factors/multiple/primes/sequences, number bonds, fraction skills, multiply/divide by powers of 10/remainders when dividing/divisibility, HCF/LCM/sum-product/reciprocals/ratio division. Aim is for students to get regular practice and improve their speed / confidence. Target 100 generally has 5 sections of 20Q so the idea is to get 100 in the time available - for example allow 1 minute per section. Numbers randomly generated. Answers provided.
