Year Group & Curriculum Focus

Designed for Year 6 in upper Key Stage 2, with an initial Year 5 retrieval assessment. The sequence combines consolidation of prior learning with Year 6 arithmetic practice. Weeks 8–11 can be reordered to match the content already taught in your school.

Classroom Use

Use for weekly arithmetic checks, retrieval practice, morning assessment or short independent assessment. Most tests take approximately 15–20 minutes and do not need to be strictly timed.

Teacher Benefits

Print the required pupil pages and use the matching answer keys to mark responses. Record scores and skill gaps, identify recurring errors, plan targeted reteaching and schedule a recheck.

The tracking guidance helps teachers interpret scores alongside the skills assessed as the content and level of challenge change across the term.
