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.

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

If you were to ask anyone in the White Rose Maths team what the most common request from teachers has been over the past few years, there is no doubt they would reply with the following question, ‘When are you releasing something for Reception?’ Drawing together a team of EYFS specialists and teachers, we are excited to release our brand new Reception Schemes which we hope will support Reception practitioners within their own settings. Taking the end of year Early Learning Goals into account, we have created a progression to support teachers in building up the key small steps in learning throughout the year. When working with Reception teachers, our team found that teachers wanted clearer guidance in what they needed to cover within the year. Our progression helps support the coverage whilst still providing flexibility with how long you spend on different topics depending on your classes’ needs. The progression is then broken down into small steps which give more detailed guidance on how to approach adult-led teaching of concepts, and how to enhance your provision areas to support teaching. Within the small steps, we have focused on key questions to support all adults within the setting to unpick children’s understanding and to enable them to move forward with their learning. The suggestions for learning could be used for short adult-led inputs or group activities with the children. We hope you find the guidance useful #MathsEveryoneCan

Fluency, reasoning and problem solving for regular and irregular polygons.

This is the second in a series of worksheet sets on Bar Modelling from the White Rose Maths Hub. This set contains 3 worksheets. The first introduces students to the bar model comparison diagrams and students have to find missing values. All of the questions involve addition and subtraction within 100. The worksheet also gets students to see the link between words in a question and then how this is represented in the diagrams. The second worksheet uses the bar model to solve word questions. The first few questions ask students to complete the diagrams and in later ones students then have to draw 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 question students should use a bar model to solve. Question 2 on this sheet shows a slight adaptation of the comparison model. These will be explored in more detail in a later set. 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 comparison diagrams. 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.

Welcome to our Year 7 scheme of learning and 5 year overview. We know that breaking the curriculum down into small manageable steps should help students to understand concepts better. Too often, we have noticed that teachers will try and cover too many concepts at once and this can lead to cognitive overload. We believe it is better to follow a “small steps” approach.   As a result, for each block of content in the scheme of learning we will provide a “small step” breakdown. It is not the intention that each small step should last a lesson – some will be a short step within a lesson, some will take longer than a lesson. We would encourage teachers to spend the appropriate amount of time on each step for their group, and to teach some of the steps alongside each other if necessary. We hope you find the schemes useful. The White Rose Team
