Key Maths Skills

These are 10-minute worksheets that cover basic numeracy skills. Each worksheet marks the work as the student completes it - it will go green if they’ve got it right and red if they’ve got it wrong. Additionally, if they get the question right, it will automatically give them 1 mark (0 marks if it is wrong). It then totals each section, as well as giving an overall total for the sheet. It also provides a percentage. It basically marks the work for the pupils as they complete the worksheet.

I have been using these in my setting (an alternative provision) for both KS3 and KS4 pupils during the lockdown for pupils remote learning. As it marks the work for the pupils as they go, it helps if there are non-specialists who are teaching maths during this time.

THE QUESTIONS ARE NOT MY OWN!

These are just the Numeracy Ninja questions designed to fill gaps in students’ basic mental calculation strategies and also to empower them with the numeracy skills and fluency required to fully access GCSE Maths concepts when they move to Key Stage 4 study. Each worksheet, is a worksheet from Numeracy Ninja that I have just converted into an excel spreadsheet and formatted to turn different colours depending on the answer and then provide totals.
