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 can focus on writing a number as the product of its prime factors and then find HCF. There is also a problem involving fractions and percentages. The second problems involve forming a box plot and also circle geometry to find the area of a triangle. We hope you enjoy using them.

For each problem there are some variations that you might want to use instead or in addition. The first problem is suitable for foundation and higher and the second is suitable for higher. The first problem involves tiling a room with carpet tiles. Students have to work out how many tiles they need and how many boxes of tiles they need to buy. The alternative problem provides a different shaped room to tile. The second problem involves students reasoning with circles and determining whether a triangle is right-angled. The alternative problem asks students to find the radius of the smallest circle. We hope you enjoy using them. Please tweet your student solutions to @WRMathsHub for a chance to win a prize

The second problem involves students finding the perimeter of a sector given its arc length. Alternative versions require students to find the length in exact form and find the area of sector. These problems will give students practice is rearranging formulae. We hope you enjoy using them. Please tweet your student solutions to @WRMathsHUb for a chance to win a prize.

These booklets each contain over 40 reasoning and problem solving questions suitable for KS1, KS2 and KS3 classes. These are the questions that we have been putting out each day in March 2016 on Twitter in the run up to SATS. The answers are provided with some simple notes at the back of the booklet and for some problems supplementary questions and variation has been provided. As always we welcome any feedback on the work we are doing and the materials that we are releasing. Thank you for taking an interest in our work. The White Rose Maths Hub Team

There are two problems for KS1 and two for KS2. In KS1 children have to using four rules to solve two problems. At KS2 children have some pretty tricky number problems to solve. Every day in March the White Rose Maths Hub is aiming to put out a question of the day. Tweet us @WRMathsHub a picture of your children's answers for a chance to win a prize.

Today's problems are ones that require children to think carefully about what they have to do. There are two problems for KS1 and two for KS2. In KS1 problem children have to use information about two plates of food to work out the cost of a fried egg. They then have to work out time problems. At KS2 children potentially need to use all four operations and the problems can be solved using bar modelling. The first one is similar to the train and football one from last week, except the picture doesn't make the approach as obvious.

There are four problems for KS1 and two for KS2. In KS1 problem children have to find possible numbers to make number sentences correct and then mark the number 1 on a number line. At KS2 children need to manipulate fractions. Every day in March the White Rose Maths Hub is aiming to put out a question of the day.
