Here are two problems for KS1 and two for KS2. In KS1 children have to solve two number puzzles. The first one involves simple operations. The second problem involves fractions. Although the second problem seems quite simple it will tease out lots of misconceptions. At KS2 children have to reason and problem solve with two shape problems. The first one involves working out the length of a square given the area and the second problem requires a little bar modelling, algebra or trialand error.

Today's problems are ones that involve number. There are two problems for KS1 and two for KS2. In KS1 problem children have to use simple multiplication facts to work out the length of a particular rectangle. They then have to find a missing value given a total, perhaps using a bar model. At KS2 children have two problems they have to solve involve number properties. The first one they have to know what factors make up a particular number and in the second problem they have to find a particular number that satisfies particular criteria.

There are two problems for KS1 and three for KS2. In the KS1 problems children have to use information to find the cost of particular items or length of strips of paper. Children could be encouraged to use strip diagrams or bar models to solve the problems. At KS2 the problems involve fractions of amounts. Some of the questions are quite challenging. Again bar modelling can be used if you want to solve the majority of these problems. If you want more info on bar modelling feel free to email the Maths Hub.

Today's problems from the White Rose Maths Hub. There are two problems for KS1 and two for KS2. In KS1 problem children having to reason with money by finding the right combination of items. The second problem is a multistep problem involving the four operations. At KS2 children solve problems involving shapes and lines on a unlabelled co-ordinate axes.

Today's problems are ones that involve reasoning and problem solving with the numbers. There are two problems for KS1 and two for KS2. In KS1 problem children have to use a number line to work out the size of the interval and then locate a particular number. Children then have to work out the highest and lowest numbers you can make given three digit cards. Version 2 of the Y2 problems has a slightly less demanding problem Q1 that might be good as a warm up. At KS2 children also need to find intervals on a number line, but the problem is a little more involved.. The second problem should be tacked systematically.

There are two problems for KS1 and two for KS2. In KS1 problem students have to involve students realising they need to do a subtraction to work out the missing value and then in the second question they need to think about the numbers in a half completed number square. At KS2 the problems both involve ratio. Although the first problem is wordy the process is relative straightforward. The second problem needs a little more thought.

Today's problems are ones that involve multiplication in KS1 and fractions in KS2. In the KS1 problem students have to find the values that a symbol represents and in the second question has to find four different ways of writing the same calculation. At KS2 the questions are on fractions.. Every day in March the White Rose Maths Hub is aiming to put out a question of the day.

Today's problems are ones that involve money. There are two problems for KS1 and two for KS2. In KS1 problem students have to recognise the value of coins and use addition and subtraction to work our whether the correct change has been given. The second problem involves children finding a quarter of an amount. At KS2 children potentially need to use all four operations and the problems can be solved using bar modelling.

Two problems involving reasoning with calculations. Can students work out the missing values without having to add up the values. Can they spot the connection?.

In March the White Rose Maths Hub want to provide primary teachers with a KS2 problem of the day. These are all reasoning and problem solving questions that teachers can use on daily basis in their classroom. Some problems may be suitable also for some students in KS3 and GCSE. If your class solve the problem during March why not tweet us a picture of their solution @WRMathsHub

This is the second in a series of worksheet sets on Bar Modelling from the White Rose Maths Hub. This set contains 3 worksheets. The first introduces students to the bar model comparison diagrams and students have to find missing values. All of the questions involve addition and subtraction within 100. The worksheet also gets students to see the link between words in a question and then how this is represented in the diagrams. The second worksheet uses the bar model to solve word questions. The first few questions ask students to complete the diagrams and in later ones students then have to draw their own. The final worksheet is a series of more challenging questions that should make students think. Many of the problems are multi-step. For each question students should use a bar model to solve. Question 2 on this sheet shows a slight adaptation of the comparison model. These will be explored in more detail in a later set. All sheets are addition and subtraction within 100. This worksheet can be used with students in primary and secondary to get them used to the bar model comparison diagrams. All the answers are supplied also. If you have any comments about the sheets please do not hesitate to get in touch with our Hub. It is only with your comments that we can improve what we do.
