Every day in the run up to the GCSE exams we are intending to put up two GCSE problems of the day on Twitter. Here are the files you can use in the classroom. For each problem there are some variations that you might want to use instead or in addition. The first problem is suitable for foundation and higher and the second is suitable for higher. The first problem involves understanding the number line to work out the mean of some numbers. The second problem involves simplifying surds and then finding the mean average. We hope you enjoy using them. Please tweet your student solutions to @WRMathsHub for a chance to win a prize

For each problem there are some variations that you might want to use instead or in addition. The first problem is suitable for foundation and higher and the second is suitable for higher. The first problem involves tiling a room with carpet tiles. Students have to work out how many tiles they need and how many boxes of tiles they need to buy. The alternative problem provides a different shaped room to tile. The second problem involves students reasoning with circles and determining whether a triangle is right-angled. The alternative problem asks students to find the radius of the smallest circle. We hope you enjoy using them. Please tweet your student solutions to @WRMathsHub for a chance to win a prize

For each problem there are some variations that you might want to use instead or in addition. The first problem is suitable for foundation and higher and the second is suitable for higher. The first problem involves finding ratio of amounts and seeing if there is a enough money in a jar. The alternative provided gets students to add some coins and then work out the new ratio. The second problem involves students finding the length of a side of an right angled isosceles triangle given only the hypotenuse and then they have to find the area. The alternative is a bit more involved and you have to find a length. We hope you enjoy using them.

For each problem there are some variations that you might want to use instead or in addition. The first problem is suitable for foundation and higher and the second is suitable for higher. The first problem involves reasoning to find the base and height of a triangle and use this to find the area. The additional problems involve fractions and Pythagoras. The second problem involves students finding the perimeter of a sector given its arc length. Alternative versions require students to find the length in exact form and find the area of sector. These problems will give students practice is rearranging formulae. We hope you enjoy using them. Please tweet your student solutions to @WRMathsHUb for a chance to win a prize.

These booklets each contain over 40 reasoning and problem solving questions suitable for KS1, KS2 and KS3 classes. These are the questions that we have been putting out each day in March 2016 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 problems supplementary questions and variation has been provided. 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

There are two problems for KS1 and two for KS2. In KS1 children have to using four rules to solve two problems. At KS2 children have some pretty tricky number problems to solve. Every day in March the White Rose Maths Hub is aiming to put out a question of the day. Tweet us @WRMathsHub a picture of your children's answers for a chance to win a prize.

Today's problems are ones that require children to think carefully about what they have to do. There are two problems for KS1 and two for KS2. In KS1 problem children have to use information about two plates of food to work out the cost of a fried egg. They then have to work out time problems. At KS2 children potentially need to use all four operations and the problems can be solved using bar modelling. The first one is similar to the train and football one from last week, except the picture doesn't make the approach as obvious.

Hope you enjoy today's problems. In KS1 children have to work out the cost of a cheesecake given some information. They then have to work out whether 62 people can fit into some cars and buses. At KS2 children need to work out the change for a £20 note and then solve a problem to find what the value of tow cards is.

Today's problems are all based around the four rules and some fractions work. There are two problems for KS1 and two for KS2. In KS1 problem children have to work out a possible question that could be asked given the information. They then have to use times tables knowledge to work out the cost of some expensive ribbon. At KS2 children have to solve problems involving offers on chocolates and then work out how much profit is made from selling oranges.

Friday's questions. There are two problems for KS1 and two for KS2. In KS1 problem children solve number problems. Encourage students to use a bar model or other diagram for Q2. At KS2 children have a number problem to solve (bar modelling would be good here) and also a problem involving area and perimeter of a square and rectangle.

Tow more problems for KS1 and two for KS2. In KS1 children have to use the information to complete a pictogram and then work out the length of a lolly and car. At KS2 children need to understand what a bar chart is showing and use this to work out a total. Q2 requires children to find the mean and then given the mean find the height of another horse. There is also some converting between measures thrown in to make it extra challenging. Every day in March the White Rose Maths Hub is aiming to put out a question of the day.

Here are today's questions. There are two problems for KS1 and two for KS2. In KS1 problem children have to find missing numbers in an addition pyramid and see if they can reason to find a missing number in a different one. They then have to solve a multi-step problem, which initially looks easier than it actually is. At KS2 children have to be able to adding fractions and decimals together and convert between fraction and decimal. For the second question children have to adding and subtract decimals after converting to the same unit of measure.

There are two problems for KS1 and three for KS2. In KS1 children have to work out what prizes can be claimed for a certain number of tokens. They then have to use reasoning to work out the value of a particular object. At KS2 children solve problems using fractions and percentages. Q3 requires a little more thought and children may benefit from using a bar model or other diagram to help them solve it.
