This Excel document creates unique Year 6 KS2 Mathematics SATs Paper 1: Arithmetic documents for you to print and use in maths lessons. New versions of each end of Key Stage 2 arithmetic skill, seen between 2017 and 2022, are generated on each paper, with answers provided. Just like the real test, there are 36 questions to complete each time. The papers look identical to the real thing and are great for practising the key skills needed to pass this test. Each test is different to the last and can be generated at the touch of a button! Each question has been carefully designed to be in range of the usual test values and methods that are used in the real KS2 Mathematics Arithmetic test. There is a short instruction sheet to explain how the test can be generated, printed and also preserved for use later. NOTE: The resource also includes a version for Mac computers which use slightly differing formatting in Excel. Knowledge of Excel is not required to use this resource.

A daily starter activity for when you have your Bike Week training. There are five puzzles around Y4 and above level which cover the bike themes of repairing, travelling distance, competing, buying and hydration. Each puzzle has an answer. Skills involve adding and subtracting as well as reading graphs involving one place decimals. There is an open challenge at the end.

Acing Arithmetic is a complete book of daily arithmetic lessons aimed at pupils in Year 5 and Year 6 (and beyond!) spanning 30 sessions (27 skills sessions, plus 3 tests). Each lesson is based around a key skill from the end of KS2 arithmetic test, with modelled answers, explanations and detailed ideas on how to take the learning futher. Templates for creating your own tests or homework are supplied in PDF and PowerPoint (editable) formats. There is a section on lesson planning and an exploration of vocabulary used in the lessons, including ideas for using models and images to support the small steps in learning. The PDF document has hyperlinks to each section for ease of navigation around the contents. Acing Arithmetic will help your students (and you!) to hone your skills with the trickier aspects of number, facing the increasingly difficult challenges with increased confidence! (The lessons are fully photocopiable, too.)

Introduce the fascinating world of arrays across school with this resource. This set of PowerPoints helps pupils to move from concrete materials, pictorial depictions to more abstract and varied calculations. As pupils become more adept, they will begin to see patterns, various calculations and connections. You can ask them to prove, explain and convince you about their interpretations of each array. Great for: developing discussion, explaining ideas, linking concrete to pictorial and bridging on to a more abstract interpretation. Each PowerPoint presents ten challenges for pupils in Years 1 to Year 6 with increasing depth. Variation is built in with arrays presented as objects, counters and in various orientations. Each set of arrays has tips, examples and sample answers to exemplify reasoning that might be developed. Great for staff training and development, mastering the four number operations, fractions and arithmetic. Requires PowerPoint. Works best with PowerPoint 2016 onwards (uses the Morph transition - but works fine without it).

This free resource is a sequence of lessons to introduce Cuisenaire Rods as a means to gain fluency with fractions, equivalence and extend fractions learning into money and measures. Pupils are set a range of challenges to create fractions with their Cuisenaire Rods. There are plenty of opportunities for reasoning, explaining and being creative in finding solutions.

Get your pupils ready for the Multiplication Tables Check with this handy resource. 100 random times tables (with an answer sheet). 100 random division facts (with an answer sheet). A times tables and division facts certificate from x2 to x12 to encourage pupils to collect the set. You can set different time limits for each calculation and it will work out how long the pupil has in total. Set the highest x table that is tested e.g. test up x6, instead of up to x12. Also, you can test any x table - beyond 12. A great homework activity. Requires Microsoft Excel.

A comprehensive set of precise models and images to support mathematical thinking and reasoning activities. Develop pupils in using materials to explore mathematical concepts with this range of models and images - all linked to White Rose Maths models and images commonly found in their schemes of learning, from Years 1 to 6. Build your maths working wall by manipulating and then printing the slides you need to create puzzles, examples, prompts and explanations. Introduce a topic and ask pupils to use manipulatives to show you the focus value, or to represent the model on the screen with their materials. Start the week with a focus value and create variations of it using the models in this presentation. This set of precise, editable, printable PowerPoint screens includes manipulatable models for: Introducing a number / focus value of the week Whole part models as a bar model and circle (sum) model Place value charts and counters for: HTO TH H T O . t h TM M HTH TTH TH H T O . t h th Tens frames and counters in two colours for 10, plus more frames for brindging 10, plus variation in orientation (vertical and horizontal) Fraction walls: With and without labels Facilities for finding equivalents More exotic fractions, such as sevenths, ninths, twentieths Two fraction walls side-by-side to explore improper fractions and equivalence Percentage wall Decimal wall 0 - 10 number line - you can edit the labels to make a negative number line 0 - 20 number line - editable Venn diagram with labels Carroll diagram with labels Notes and ideas are included for each slide. Please note: you may need to zoom out of the slide to see all of the parts which are included. TOP TIP: keep a master copy of the slides to ensure you have a pristine set to start each new topic with!

Explore the patterns that arise when two dice are thrown - ONE MILLION TIMES! Pupils can explore the probability of scoring different totals on the two dice and also record their own dice throws on this macro-enabled spreadsheet. They are encouraged to explain what they find out as they throw the two virtual dice. Inspire your pupils with this fun probability experiment and witness the awesome power of the computer as it throws, totals and plots the graph for one million dice throws.
