Being a Maths specialist in a primary school I have developed these resources to mainly help prepare our children for the Maths SATs tests at the end of KS2.
Many of my resources are "regenerating" and will reproduce an unlimited supply of similar style questions in the same format.

A board game to practice fractions questions for KS2 SATs arithmetic paper.
Questions covered include:
Fractions of amounts
Addition and subtraction fractions
Multiplication and division fractions
What the resource contains:
A game board (to be printed in b/w but looks best printed on green paper/card)
2 types of “self regenerating” question cards, Trail cards and shortcut cards.
Other resources needed to play the game:
A dice
Counters
Paper/mini whiteboard and pen
How to set up the game:
Game board printed onto green card or paper and laminated for longevity.
Question cards printed onto coloured card (use a different colour for each type to avoid confusion). Cards have a front and a back and if printed double sided line up neatly - Check printer settings to ensure printing is the correct way around.
Each game will need one dice (normal 6-sided will suffice, could use 10-sided for a quicker game). And I suggest upto 3 players, I think it is better with 2 although could be used with upto 4, so you will need the required number of counters.
How to play:
Place the two piles of question cards face down on the table (so you can’t see the questions)
Players place their counters on the START space.
First player roll the dice and move forward the number shown.
Check what is on the space they have landed on, if it is blank then it’s the next players turn, if not they need to:
1. If it has a message written on the space, do as it says.
2. If it has footprints, answer a Trail card question (another player of the game must read out the question for them to answer and tell them if they are correct) The card will direct what the player must do next.
3. If it has a “S”, answer a shortcut question (another player of the game must read out the question for them to answer and tell them if they are correct) The card will direct what the player must do next, to follow the shortcut they must go where the arrow is pointing.
Each player only has one go at a time i.e. only roll the dice once and answer one question per go.
Players take it in turns in a clockwise order.
The winner is the first to reach the FINISH space.

4-in-a-row game on multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1000. A playing board and cards are provided.
One set of cards will cover the whole playing board so they need to be divided in two halves and printed in 2 different colours
I find that laminating the game board and printing the cards on coloured card gives the game longevity.
Rules:
Players choose a colour each and place all their cards in a pile face down.
Players decide on who goes first (rock, paper, scissors or youngest etc.)
First player will turn over their top card and work out the answer (players can discuss answer or check together)
Next they find their answer on the playing board and place their card face up on that space (there are 6 answers each repeated 6 times to give a choice to where to go).
Players then take it in turns to have their go and place their card on their chosen space (with the correct answer on).
The winning player is the first to achieve 4-in-a-row either horizontally, vertically or diagonally.
Have fun!
Questions such as 2374 + ______ = 5763 and 6392 - _____ = 2847 in a domino style format for children to work out and match together.
Resource regenerates with different numbers if you press f9 or reopen the file, hence you could make an infinite number of different puzzles!
I make the resource on coloured card and find that they can be reused many times over - or laminate if they are going to be regularly used.
Thanks for looking.
I primarily developed these test to go alongside my scheme of work for my level 6 year 6 students (when that was a thing). Some of the topics are still relevant at ks2 but a lot have moved up to just ks3 now.
Topics include:
Algebra : simplifying expressions, substitution, solving equations, sequences (nth term).
Index laws and notation
Standard form
Algebraic graphs
Inequalities
Trial and improvement
Angles on parallel lines
Plans and elevations
Data types, scatter graphs and correlation
Probability
Circles
Pie charts
Two-way tables
Hopefully some of this old resource may be useful to you.
One full practice test for the KS2 maths paper 1. Paper saving - full test fits on 5 sides of a4 with the sixth page being the answer sheet.
Test has been designed to save paper. Questions are on 5 sides of A4 with the answers on the sixth page.
If you want more of this resource I have a pack of 10 similar tests available here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/ks2-arithmetic-sats-paper-1-pack-of-10-practice-tests-including-answers-11740710

Practice tests for the KS2 SATs arithmetic paper. Questions have been designed to replicate content from previous tests in order to best prepare year 6 children for the real paper in the summer.
Tests have been formatted to save paper, photocopy back to back to get the test on 3 sheets of A4.
Answers are provided on page 6 of the document. (some answers may vary i.e. equivalent fractions may be accepted)
If you are wanting to score the test out of 40 (marks given in SATs paper) questions 27, 29, 32, 36 are 2 mark questions where 1 mark is awarded for correct written method with max 1 error.
The resource is designed to be used weekly alongside arithmetic lessons aiming at questions children are not getting correct. We have been using this method with our year 6 children since the implementation of the new curriculum and have seen arithmetic scores greatly improve.
