This is a collection of mental maths papers/tests for Year 1. 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!
Objectives covered:
Count to and across 100, forwards and backwards, beginning with 0 or 1, or from any given number
Count, read and write numbers to 100 in numerals; count in multiples of 2s, 5s and 10s
Given a number, identify 1 more and 1 less
Read and write numbers from 1 to 20 in numerals and words
Read, write and interpret mathematical statements involving addition (+), subtraction (−) and equals (=) signs
Represent and use number bonds and related subtraction facts within 20
Add and subtract one-digit and two-digit numbers to 20, including 0
Solve one-step problems that involve addition and subtraction, using concrete objects and pictorial representations, and missing number problems such as 7 = ? − 9
Solve one-step problems involving multiplication and division, by calculating the answer using concrete objects, pictorial representations and arrays with the support of the teacher
Recognise, find and name a half as 1 of 2 equal parts of an object, shape or quantity
Recognise, find and name a quarter as 1 of 4 equal parts of an object, shape or quantity
Recognise and use language relating to dates, including days of the week, weeks, months and years
Tell the time to the hour and half past the hour and draw the hands on a clock face to show these times

There are a lot of good spelling resources out there, but nothing like this. This super spreadsheet will create differentiated spelling sheets, practice sheets and handwriting sheets by selecting words randomly from a massive 1000+ word bank (included in spreadsheet). Simply, choose the spelling rule from a drop-down menu, randomise the lists (F9) and then print (sheets have been set up for easy printing). You will never need to create your own lists/practise sheets/handwriting sheets again, saving yourself hours of work, and the randomising feature means no two lists/sheets will ever be the same. In addition, a random activity is also generated for each spelling list, reinforcing learning and there is a spreadsheet for recording spelling test results that makes it easy to track pupils' progress.
ALL spelling rules included. 1000s of sheets at your fingertips. Everything you need in one place. Easy to use. A massive TIME SAVER!
