Worded Maths Questions for children in year 6 or KS3. Used before SATs as a top-up or to find missing knowledge in their calculation skills.

Use the inverse (or trial and error at first) for doubles/halves to find the answers for the missing boxes in this investigation. Ideal for World Cup topic work or for a maths starter in Years 5 or 6. Could even be used as a whole school competition - or as an end of reward. Feel free to add more boxes for differentiation or change the ratios at the beginning to make it more challenging.

We have had great progress with pupils and non-verbal when they have used this sheet to create their own pattern. Worksheet includes example to work from. The final question allows the pupil to recap and explore new patterns. A must for any child taking the 11 Plus.

Some previous SATs questions - at about the level 5 region - which need a bar model to solve. Focus: Ratio and Proportion

No worksheets required to teach mastery for BIDMAS! Pupils create their own BIDMAS questions using a dice and this guide. This resource has worked excellently for me and other teachers over the years; it also stops children from completing endless boring sheets working out the order of operations.

Worksheets designed to balance equations. Three levels of difficulty for your class.

A quick, easy starter sheet designed to help children refine their x 10/x20/x300 etc ability. Good to use alongside other resources.

Arithmetic questions covering most areas. Superhero themed. Great to use for SATs revision.

Homework for the Autumn Term for Year 5 or Year 6. It starts with the basics in Place Value and moves through the curriculum. It follows WRH at points and Maths-No Problem at others. Ideally, it is used alongside class teaching. Can also be used for revision.

Covers the major areas before the SATs examination. I used this as a tool a few days before the tests - can be used throughout the year as a quick way to assess their knowledge of most of the curriculum.

This resource contains: A worksheet for working out how many cups in a jug A worksheet for working out other decanting questions.

Note: There are two arithmetic papers with non-linear question difficulty and no 2 mark questions. They are both very similar and are built for speed. This is not designed to give you an arithmetic scaled score; it is more designed to help children approach trickier fraction questions early (always the easy fix) and not get bogged down in the longer multiplication and division questions. I have found that his helps train speed.

This resource contains: A very simple plan for introducing bar model to the class A success criteria for the pupils to explore A modeled question 3 worksheets to use fractions of amounts with the bar model approach

Taken from a book I wrote. There are hundreds of poems - all linked to a different curriculum standard. The whole of Maths KS2 is covered! Simply find the curriculum descriptor you are looking for, and there will be a poem for you. Every poem can also be a lesson! Each poem introduces the subject, clarifies the vocabulary and explores an example.
