In March the White Rose Maths Hub want to provide primary teachers with a KS2 problem of the day. These are all reasoning and problem solving questions that teachers can use on daily basis in their classroom. Some problems may be suitable also for some students in KS3 and GCSE. If your class solve the problem during March why not tweet us a picture of their solution @WRMathsHub

Following our March twitter problems we have been inundated with requests for a few more new ones in the run up to SATS. We are not sure how often we will put them up, but here are five problems you can use with your Y6 group. We hope you like them. Feel free to tweet us your solutions to @WRMathsHub

This worksheet uses part-whole models to help children to deepen their understanding of addition.

Today's problems are here. There are two problems for KS1 and three for KS2. In KS1 children have to work out the total number of oranges and also understand the relationship between repeated addition and multiplication. At KS2 children have three quick number problems they have 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.

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 problem is suitable for foundation and higher and the second is suitable for higher. The first problem involves finding ratio of amounts and seeing if there is a enough money in a jar. The alternative provided gets students to add some coins and then work out the new ratio. The second problem involves students finding the length of a side of an right angled isosceles triangle given only the hypotenuse and then they have to find the area. The alternative is a bit more involved and you have to find a length. We hope you enjoy using them. Please tweet your student solutions to @WRMathsHub for a chance to win a prize Answers included (there may be alternative solutions)

It's back. We have responded to feedback and decided to issue a new set of KS1 and KS2 problems in the run up to this year's SATs. We are grateful for all the feedback. For the month of March, each day we will publish a daily question designed for use with your classes. Practice is crucial to maths success, and our questions are designed to support your daily routines. A new question will be posted each evening for the next day, and cover topics and areas that your pupils can expect to see as part of their SATs. If you tweet a picture of your classes hard at work solving a problem to @WRMathshub, you will be entered into our special weekly prize draw during March 2017! Please ensure that any photos you tweet have relevant permissions, as we will be retweeting a selection of these. Thank you for your continued support. Enjoy.

This worksheet supports concrete learning with Straws, Base 10 and Place Value counters

Year 2 - Yearly overview

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

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.

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

This is the first in a series of worksheet sets on Bar Modelling from the White Rose Maths Hub. This first set contains 3 worksheets. The first introduces students to the bar model diagram and students have to find missing values. All of the questions involve addition and subtraction within 100. The worksheet encourages students to think about the number sentences that are represented by each diagram and also get students to recognise the importance of the proportionality of the different bars. The second worksheet using the bar model to solve word questions. The first few questions ask students to complete the diagrams and in later ones students then have drawn their own. The final worksheet is a series of more challenging questions that should make students think. Many of the problems are multi-step. For each questions students should use a bar model to solve. All sheets are addition and subtraction within 100. This worksheet can be used with students in primary and secondary to get them used to the bar model diagram. All the answers are supplied also. If you have any comments about the sheets please do not hesitate to get in touch with our Hub. It is only with your comments that we can improve what we do.

This selection of worksheets, problems and activities for multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1000 will help students deepen their understanding of the concept.

These CPD materials are available completely free of charge and, as always, we welcome all feedback on our work at The White Rose Maths Hub and the materials we produce. Bar models can be a versatile tool for children, to help them illustrate basic concepts and solve complex word problems. Continuing the story of the importance of CPA, this CPD package offers a variety of materials which aim to enthuse, guide and support your staff in making the most of the power of bar modelling. The package comprises: · a video, in which Miss Rose discusses the importance of bar modelling to her colleagues, shows how bar modelling can support children throughout their education · a PowerPoint presentation which forms the basis for 1 hour CPD session for your staff team · a set of presenter’s notes which offer prompts and suggestions for the session. · a selection of worksheets and answers to introduce children of all ages to bar modelling. Together, these materials aim to introduce the importance of bar modelling as a tool to support children ‘to see beyond what the eyes can see’.

This selection of activities and worksheets will give children some varied practice to help embed the concept.
