A pdf of a 28 slide PowerPoint that provides examples of CAT4 assessment tasks.
CAT4 assessments consist of verbal reasoning – thinking with words; quantitative reasoning – thinking with numbers; non-verbal reasoning – thinking with shapes and spatial ability – thinking with shape and space. Many schools use CAT4 to provide ‘predictions’ for GCSE results.
Four sets of practice assessment questions are provided plus additional questions. These questions should be practiced by students so they understand the patterns and inner logic of the four reasoning areas away from the pressure of sitting at a computer with the assessment about to begin, and the clock about to count down.
The PowerPoint is available with the correct answer highlighted. It can be downloaded here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12785332
Very useful techniques for GCSE Maths and GCSE Further Maths using the CASIO fx-83GTCW or fx-85GTCW CLASSWIZ calculators.

A progression of mental maths strategies for addition and subtraction from a basic level to GCSE level.
The strategies are grouped as ‘Change’, ‘Split’ or ‘Jump’. It invites students to change a problem, to an easier form, before splitting numbers or/and jumping along the virtual number line that exists in their heads.
This is a useful resource for Maths teachers of all age groups to see what are the next steps for their students and also to see the range of different possible strategies available.
A ten page workbook on the enjoyable puzzle game of Shikaku.
Simpler to master than Sudoku but with more mathematical content, Shikaku helps student develop spatial awareness.
It is a useful way for students to appreciate prime numbers in a concrete setting using the ares of rectangles and squares. Square numbers can also be contextualised.
An audit tool to use alongside the Ofsted research review of Mathematics. Maths Departments can use the tool to either audit the extent the department cover the identified features or audit how important the department views the features.
It enables Maths teachers and departments to identify areas of the review they think are important to address before homing in on the research of the relevant areas.
A self-evaluation tool assists to analyse and to assess the impact or use of the review.
