A self-renewing SATS arithmetic paper based on the 2016 Sample paper. Every time you save or close this resource, there will be new questions generated. The answers will also self generate but remember to print these off before saving or closing or the questions and answers will not match. This resource was developed by @adaubs91.

2016 Sample SATs papers completed with common errors and misconceptions for pupils to mark and explain. Pupils often love playing the teacher, marking the work of someone else, and can often spot errors in another person’s work before they spot it in their own. You can find completed misconception papers from other years here: 2019 2018 2017 2016 2016 (Sample) @adaubs91) and I completed these papers so that most of the answers will be incorrect (based on common misconceptions) or have silly errors which pupils often make. The idea is that pupils mark each question and explain the errors that have been made. We hope these are useful for you and your pupils! I wrote a blog about why I think this can be effective process for pupils to engage with on my blog: educatingholmes. The completed papers included in this file are: Maths Paper 1: Arithmetic Maths Paper 2: Reasoning 1 Maths Paper 3: Reasoning 2 Grammar and Punctuation Reading

This is a resource for helping to improve rapid recall of number bonds to 10, created by @adaubs. It is created in the same style as the times table practice resource we created earlier which you can also find here. These excel files will automatically generate new questions each time the file is opened, saved or any function to calculate formulas is used.

This Knowledge Organiser (KO) was designed with a mixed Year 5/6 class in mind when teaching the a topic on 20th Century History with a specific focus on the Second World War. I have uploaded the accompanying WW2 Knowledge Organsier here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/world-war-two-ww2-knowledge-organiser-12047114. UPDATE: Now including retrieval quizzes.

This Knowledge Organiser (KO) was designed with a mixed Year 5/6 class in mind when teaching the a history unit with a focus on the Second World War whilst also looking at 20th Century History more broadly. The accompanying 20th Century History Knowledge Organiser can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/20th-century-history-knowledge-organiser-12047135 UPDATE: Now including retrieval quizzes. With special thanks to @TCafferky for inspiring this KO and providing his KO as a starting point!

@adaubs91 and I developed these worksheets to help students practice identifying the relationship between fractions, decimals and percentages. The sheets will randomly generate new questions every time the sheet is saved, printed or any function to calculate functions is performed.

@adaubs91 and I developed these worksheets based on a worksheet brought back by a colleague of ours from a trip to Shanghai. The aim of these sheets is to ensure quick and automated basic skills using the four operations, comparing and representation. The sheets will randomly generate new questions every time the sheet is saved, printed or any function to calculate functions is performed.

Inspired by @MrReddyMaths and a variety of classes on YouTube, I adapted the idea of Rolling Numbers to help pupils learn their times tables. In this file, you will find the lyrics sheets with the associated tune or rhyme as well as a link to a YouTube video of my Year 3 class performing the chants/songs. The video can be found on the YouTube channel for the British International School of Charlotte. Thank you to everyone who helped inspire and provide lyrics to these songs!

This is a resource for helping to improve times table recall. @adaubs and I created these resources for use with our classes before we had access to Times Table Rockstars; however these resources remain useful in helping our pupils to automate their multiplication and division fact recall. These excel files will automatically generate new questions each time the file is opened, saved or any function to calculate formulas is used. Each tab is ordered in the order that the English National Curriculum is expected to be learnt by pupils (plus the extension file goes beyond the times tables that pupils are required to learn). Following a year group’s expected times table, a mixed times table sheet is included covering all the tables which are expected up to that point. The final sheet has a greater number of division questions and the challenge is to complete it as quickly as possible (the quickest I have seen was all 45 questions on the 12x12 mixed multiplication and division speed challenge completed in 43 seconds - handwritten, not orally). The multiple copies files contains 20 sheets for each times table on each tab. When you print the file, ensure that you are not printing double sided. Each sheet will have different questions that randomly generated. Each sheet contains 45 questions (30 multiplication and 15 division). We would expect pupils to correctly answer 40 of these questions in under 3 minutes before moving on to the next times table. The quick practice file is a much smaller version of each times table sheet that can be used with younger groups, those who are particularly struggling and need a confidence boost or as an introduction. The extension generator goes beyond the NC requirements and is more intended for pupils who have mastered their times tables abut have enjoyed it and want to further challenge themselves in their own time. The tracking document is intended to help teachers track pupil progress whilst also promoting a collaborative competition as a class. The idea is that pupils need to improve their score to contribute to the class total (1 point for improving on their last score). If they get over 40/45 they pass and move onto the next times table (whilst scoring 2 points). If they improve their score AND pass the times table then they score 3 points. See the explanation tab for further details. The idea is that every child can contribute to a collaborative challenge working towards a class prize (whatever you decide!) regardless of which times table they are currently focusing on automating. UPDATE: Now including a black & white file copy for those who are colour printing cost conscious!

Here are links to video tutorials that @adaubs91] and I made to help pupils learning to use concrete equipment as they get to grips with formal methods for addition and subtraction. These videos are aimed primarily at Lower KS2 but could also be used with pupils who need to work within the concrete stage of formal methods for calculation. You can find all of the Maths tutorials I have created on YouTube on the EducatingHolmes channel. There, you can also find links to other playlists I have created collating a range of videos that I have found useful with my classes. If there are other videos that you recommend using, please let me know so I can can check them out and add them to the playlists!
