It's back. We have responded to feedback and decided to issue a new set of KS1 and KS2 problems in the run up to this year's SATs. We are grateful for all the feedback. For the month of March, each day we will publish a daily question designed for use with your classes. Practice is crucial to maths success, and our questions are designed to support your daily routines. A new question will be posted each evening for the next day, and cover topics and areas that your pupils can expect to see as part of their SATs. If you tweet a picture of your classes hard at work solving a problem to @WRMathshub, you will be entered into our special weekly prize draw during March 2017! Please ensure that any photos you tweet have relevant permissions, as we will be retweeting a selection of these. Thank you for your continued support. Enjoy.

5 Topics to Revise for Key Stage 2 SATs Since the White Rose Maths Hub began creating questions for Diagnostic Questions just a few months ago, there have been 337,221 answers given by primary school students all over the country. Perhaps more importantly, 116,437 of these answers have been incorrect. So, with SATs on the horizon, we thought it would be a perfect time to reflect on five areas of mathematics that have proved particularly troubling to Key Stage 2 students. The five key areas are: - Area and perimeter - Angles - Equivalent fractions and fractions of an amount - Factors and multiples - Percentages For each of these areas we have provided some supporting resources that you could use with your classes to help overcome these difficulties, together with a mini 5 question quiz you could give your students to see if their misconceptions have been resolved. We really hope you find this useful. Craig and the White Rose Maths Hub team

The White Rose Maths Hub have created a maths trail to be used at the fabulous Yorkshire Sculpture Park - 200 Year 4 children took part in the trail on June 20th and a great day was had by all. Although designed for Y4 children, children of all ages can benefit from a visit to the park. Maybe even share with parents to use over the Summer holidays? NB - Occasionally some of the Sculptures are changed at the YSP but we will try our best to keep this free trail up to date and accurate. Enjoy! The WRMH Team

This booklet contains over 40 reasoning and problem solving questions suitable for KS2 classes. These are the questions that we have been putting out each day in March 2017 on Twitter in the run up to SATS. The answers are provided with some simple notes at the back of the booklet and for some questions supplementary questions and variation has been provided. We hope to release more questions like this over the course of next year including some open ended problems. Please keep a look out for our work. If you have not seen our schemes and assessments for primary then please take a look at our website www.whiterosemathshub.co.uk As always we welcome any feedback on the work we are doing and the materials that we are releasing. Thank you for taking an interest in our work. The White Rose Maths Hub Team

We have created a calculation policy to help teachers introduce key concepts using a concrete-pictorial-abstract approach. As always feedback is welcome. The White Rose Maths Team

What is Barvember? What’s the point? Barvember is organised by White Rose Maths to encourage everyone to use the bar model. We believe that the Bar Model is a useful tool for helping children visualise and then solve maths problems. Even some of the most complex problems can be seen much easier when represented visually. Barvember provides an opportunity for everyone to just do some maths. We know that the bar model is not the ONLY way of visualising a problem and we also know that these problems can be solved in the other ways. Why should we take part? We hope for the fun of doing maths. Lots of rewards available too; BARS of Fairtrade chocolate and places on our courses to name a few. How do I share my solution? • Tweet it to us @WhiteRoseMaths and use #barvember • Send it to support@whiterosemaths.com If you want to find out more about bar modelling, then come and join us on one of our Deeper Learning courses or ask for training in your own school. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/white-rose-maths-7829241726 Do I need to understand bar models to take part? We have designed the problems so that people who have no or limited experience of bar modelling can still get involved We provide two versions. One version where the bar model is fully or part-drawn and one where there is space to draw the bar model. We have also included an additional similar question for each of the first 4 problems that allow you to practice what you have just learnt. Visit https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/the-importance-of-bar-modelling-cpd-resources-11509474 for our bar modelling CPD. Who is Barvember aimed at? We hope that there is a problem for everyone. We will release 5 problems a day so there is plenty to get stuck into. The problems will get more challenging over the course of “Barvember”. Choose the problems that are most appropriate for you or your class. We hope you enjoy. White Rose Maths Team

We have created a few bonus problems for you to use this week with your KS2 classes. We hope they are useful. As always post your classes solutions on twitter tagging @whiterosemaths. We still have some prizes to give away. Good luck!

It’s back! White Rose Maths Problem of the Day. Along with the usual PDFs we have added a powerpoint that will be updated each day. The calendar is hyperlinked to take you straight to the new problems and answers are provided. Full worked solutions will be provided at the end of the month. For the month of March, each day we will publish some reasoning and problem solving questions for use with your classes. Practice is crucial to maths success, and our questions are designed to support your daily routines. A new question will be posted each evening for the next day, and cover topics and areas that your pupils can expect to see as part of their SATs. If you tweet a picture of your classes hard at work solving a problem to @WRMaths, you will be entered into our special weekly prize draw during March 2018!

Thank you to everyone who are using our new schemes of learning. We are really pleased with the response and grateful for all the feedback. Over the last few months we have been working hard on producing new assessments to align with the new schemes. We have listened to feedback from teachers and schools and tried to respond to what they were telling us. The main change is that the assessments now cover related objectives from previous year groups material. So, for example our Y6 assessment does not just cover the Y6 objectives – which is what we had previously done. Instead it now covers content from other year groups too. We have done this after speaking to schools and leaders and we also recognise this reflects SATs assessments. We hope these assessments are useful for you and your students. Writing assessments is always a difficult task but we have tried to write questions that will help you identify strengths that students have and areas that need additional work. Please take a little time to read this document as it contains guidance on how to get the best out of the assessments. As always, we would be delighted to receive feedback from you. We always look to improve the work we are doing and we appreciate whatever comments you may have. The White Rose Maths Team
