There are two problems for KS1 and three for KS2. In the KS1 problems children have to use information to find the cost of particular items or length of strips of paper. Children could be encouraged to use strip diagrams or bar models to solve the problems. At KS2 the problems involve fractions of amounts. Some of the questions are quite challenging. Again bar modelling can be used if you want to solve the majority of these problems. If you want more info on bar modelling feel free to email the Maths Hub.

As promised a few more questions in preparation for SATS next week. Hope they are useful for the classroom. @WRMathsHub

For the month of March, each day we publish some reasoning and problem solving questions for use with your classes. Practice is crucial to maths success, and our questions are designed to support your daily routines. We hope you enjoy the problems, don’t forget #MathsEveryoneCan

A resource that gives a clear example of how to add fractions with different denominators in a visual way.

Ordering numbers with up to 4 digits.

This resource will help children understand the place value of 2 digit numbers.

These problem cards on place value are sure to get your children thinking. This set are integers only.

A year 1 resource for addition and subtraction.

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.

Basic part whole models for adding and subtracting numbers within 10

A few problems involving ratio and proportion. Answer included.

Today's problems are ones that involve multiplication in KS1 and fractions in KS2. In the KS1 problem students have to find the values that a symbol represents and in the second question has to find four different ways of writing the same calculation. At KS2 the questions are on fractions.. Every day in March the White Rose Maths Hub is aiming to put out a question of the day.

Two problems involving reasoning with calculations. Can students work out the missing values without having to add up the values. Can they spot the connection?.

This worksheet is aimed at Y5 and looks at the effect of multiplying by 10. The worksheet encourages place value grids. Pupils will see the effect of multiplying by 10. Subsequent questions build on this as pupils move through the exercise. Similar concept can be used for dividing by 10, which should help pupils then generalise about multiply by 100 and 1000.

5 Topics to Revise for Key Stage 2 SATs Since the White Rose Maths Hub began creating questions for Diagnostic Questions just a few months ago, there have been 337,221 answers given by primary school students all over the country. Perhaps more importantly, 116,437 of these answers have been incorrect. So, with SATs on the horizon, we thought it would be a perfect time to reflect on five areas of mathematics that have proved particularly troubling to Key Stage 2 students. The five key areas are: - Area and perimeter - Angles - Equivalent fractions and fractions of an amount - Factors and multiples - Percentages For each of these areas we have provided some supporting resources that you could use with your classes to help overcome these difficulties, together with a mini 5 question quiz you could give your students to see if their misconceptions have been resolved. We really hope you find this useful. Craig and the White Rose Maths Hub team
