There is enough material to last for the whole school year, with plenty left for homework or revision. Each worksheet provides extensive number skills practice covering National Curriculum statutory requirements (place value, arithmetic, fractions, decimals and percentages). In addition, it targets one of 5 additional areas: measurement, algebra, geometry, ratio, statistics. The teacher should decide which folder is appropriate, according to what the current teaching focus is.
It would be a good idea to begin with the ‘measurement’ set, as the number questions are less demanding than those in other sets.
Less able students will need to be supported by an adult.
Answer sheets are included in each folder.
