This is a collection of mental maths papers for Year 4. The spreadsheet includes four sheets differentiated four ways (LA, MA, HA and Challenge) and includes answer sheets. What makes these different to other published mental maths material, is that each sheet can be randomised by simply pushing F9 on your keyboard, so there are almost an unlimited combination of questions for each paper. This means they can be used as often as you like with very little repetition. Use them daily, weekly, termly or as you wish. Use them for early bird, homework or to regularly assess the children's mental computation. Also included on the sheet is a record sheet if you wish to track pupil progress - simply fill in the names and record the results in the grid (scores will be colour coded for easy analysis). The previews represent just a fraction of the sheets that can be produced!

This isn’t just one phonics screening check, or two…or three. This resource draws on a bank of over 1000 (editable) words to randomly generate 1000s of checks at just the push of a button. Answer sheets and pupil cards are randomly generated and then all you have to do is print and go!
For each check, 40 words are generated (20 real words and 20 pseudo words) in line with the national checks and should be carried out in exactly the same way using the corresponding pupil cards.
Also included is a colour coded tracking sheet to easily track pupils across the academic year. Enter names, enter scores and the spreadsheet will do the rest and calculate a class average,
These resources are great to prepare pupils for the phonics screening check and to track pupils progress throughout the year.
This is a handy little resource to generate worksheets for the Year 5 addition and subtraction objective: use rounding to check answers to calculations and determine, in the context of a problem, levels of accuracy
The resource includes 5 worksheets for practising this objective and the accompanying answer sheets (where applicable). They have also been set up for easy printing. ALL of the worksheets/games can be randomised with a push of a button meaning they can be reused (unlike a traditional worksheet/game). Save yourself a bundle of time with this fab resource…
