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.
Every day in March the White Rose Maths Hub is aiming to put out a question of the day.

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.

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..

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.

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 two problems are suitable for foundation and higher and the second are suitable for higher.
The first problems involve working with basic fractions and percentages and the second problem requires students to find the midpoint of a line.
The second problems involves area of triangle formula and find co-ordinates of points of intersection in order to find the area of a region.
We hope you enjoy using them. Please tweet your student solutions to @WRMathsHub for a chance to win a prize
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.

A simple activity to help students that asks pupils to link the pictorial representation to a fraction word problem and then the abstract solution. Pupils could then make up their own problem and solution.
