One of the most frequent requests we get as a Maths Hub is for a suggested long term curriculum plan for mathematics at KS3. We have listened to what teachers need and the following overviews have been developed by secondary practitioners in conjunction with the White Rose Maths Hub to provide a curriculum plan. Alongside these curriculum plans, our aim is also to provide an assessment for each term. There are two versions of the assessment: Paper A: Support for lower attaining students Paper B: For the core with appropriate challenge You can use these assessments to determine gaps in your students’ knowledge and use them to plan support and intervention strategies. Our assessments are designed to test students understanding. They support teaching approaches such as bar modelling, place value grids, other part whole diagrams and using concrete materials to introduce topics. We hope you find them useful. If you have any comments about this document or have any ideas please do get in touch. The White Rose Maths Hub Team

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

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)
