**The aim is to improve pupils scores over the year and parents/teachers are encouraged to either record time or score to see if the child can better themselves each time. I also use these in class as revision aids or for quick games like make a column or row v a partner. Recently, I’ve started quizzing my class at the end of the week on the colour that they are on in the style of a Maths Bee! A bit like a spelling bee but obviously with Maths facts! The children love it!** I also use these as homework activities every week! That means there are 23 weeks worth of Mental Maths Homework with this resources This is set 3 and covers curriculum areas in Years 3 and 4 Included in this resource is set 3 of challenges that I send home to parents to help increase my pupil’s mental maths abilities and readiness for any impending Multiplication test at the end of Year 4! The pdf is a thorough guide on how to use and gives yourself and the parents suggestions on how to use and adaptations to try at home. There are 23 challenges with 13-15 questions for each challenge. Each challenge/colour set is broken down into 3 abilities. 1 star 2 stars and 3 stars. I really hope that these help support and further your class. Any feedback would be welcome as I’m currently trying to create other sets for Reception to Year 2. Many thanks
