A mental arithmetic challenge system. Pupils are assigned as red level at the start of the year and given a number. Such as Red = 12 on week 1. They then apply all the arithmetic challenge tasks (20 questions) to the number 12. x 2 so 12 x 2 = 24 find 1/2 find 1/2 of 12 = 6 x 0.5 12 x 0.5 = 6 find 1% 1% of 12 = 0.12 And so on. Give new numbers of a similar difficulty to the colours each week. If they score better than a red score (which would be 12/20 or better) for three tests in a row, they are moved to the next colour level… yellow. Then children who are on red do another easyish number, like 14. Yellow would be a trickier number, such as 27. Pupils work their way up the colour levels.And have to score better than their colour score, three times again to progress. The excel sheet, can quickly calculate the correct answers to allow for peer marking by selecting the answer column then using the plus symbol in the bottom corner and dragging it back through all the levels. Pupils keep a question level analysis tracker to identify any patterns of incorrect answers. Update the records sheet on the excel document in order to track what colour level pupils are on, and their scores as well as looking at progression of the class average. Question types: multiplication division decimals place value manipulation fractions percentages addition subtraction square and cube algebra bodmas The test encourages spotting patterns and equivalent fraction, decimal and percentages to be able to use answers to previous questions or adapt them to make other solutions quicker.
