What’s included? -10 sets of 20 questions -answer cards What is it? Word problems cards based on popular culture and famous themes. They’ve been made and saved in Microsoft Publisher, so they are full editable - I use them as laminated cards, but Publisher allows for a variety of print / presentation options. What’s covered in the questions? The questions cover elements of the Year 5/6 Maths National Curriculum. This includes 4 operations, written methods, mental strategies, mean, percentages, money and more. Great for: In-school lessons Homework tasks Home learning Post-SATs maths Sets included: Authors and Stories Chocolate Disney Harry Potter Marvel Olympics Pokemon Pop Hits Star Wars Super Mario

What’s included? 24 double-page worksheets, themed on units from the Upper Key Stage 2 Maths Curriculum. 6 x Four Operations 6 x Geometry 6 x Measurement 6 x Statistics Each worksheet has answers, provided at the bottom of the second page. **The questions on these worksheets are previous KS2 SATs questions, so are great for: ** homework SATs prep home-study booster groups

Do your pupils forget their written methods almost as soon as you’ve taught them? I created this booklet to overcome this yearly obstacle - one booklet with all written methods explained in step-by-step instructions. Each pupil in my class keeps a copy in their maths books (like a bookmark) and refers back to it if they forget their methods. For each step, there is a short, clear explanation of what to do (and why.) ** Great for:** +revision +daily use +learning aid for LAPs / forgetful pupils +teaching aid when first teaching a method

I made this resource to help Y5 and Y6 children practise those tricky 2-pointer SATs questions, which is a common weakness for middle and higher achievers. What’s included? *Question Book 1 (34 past-SAT questions) *Answer Book 1 (worked solutions for Question Book 1) *Question Book 2 (31 past-SAT questions) *Answer Book 2 (worked solutions for Question Book 2) *Question Book 3 (31 past-SAT questions) *Answer Book 3 (worked solutions for Question Book 3) Question Types *Multi-step Qs *Multi-operation Qs *Multi-point Qs How I use this resource I’ve used this resource for Booster Groups / SATs prep I’ve used this resource as an extension task for quick finishers in day-to-day maths lessons

Why I made this resource Every maths lesson you teach, you give a clear learning outcome (or TBAT or WALT or Success Criteria - whatever it’s called in each school.) Your class follow your carefully planned steps, and succeed. However, in my experience, children then struggle when faced with: -multi-step problems -multi-operation problems -questions without a clear method to use -changes in maths skill required (E.g. suddenly needing to write an answer as a fraction) How to Use These lessons are designed to have limiting teaching beforehand, if at all. Instead, children tackle the real-life situation using a broad range of skills (money, decimals, written methods, mental strategies, converting between fractions and % etc) and get used to: -thinking independently -being less reliant on adults (“learned helplessness”) -using a blend of skills at once What’s included? -20 real-life contexts (whole lessons) which each include: >printable data pages (price lists, menus, information pages, league tables, timetables, fact files, recipes) >15 differentiated questions (Band A = easiest, Band E = hardest. Harder Qs can be trimmed off the page, depending on your maths groups) >Answer sheet

10 Tarsia Puzzles covering a range of Upper KS2 and lower KS3 subject areas. (As a current upper KS2 teacher myself, I use Tarsia regularly as my pupils really enjoy these puzzles - great for Deepening / Mastery) Includes: -Dividing Fractions (Standard) -Dividing Fractions (Tricky) -Equivalent Fractions -Finding Fractions of Numbers (Standard) -Finding Fractions of Numbers (Tricky) -Fraction Conversions -Multiplying Fractions (Standard) -Multiplying Fractions (Tricky) -Roman Numerals (Standard) -Roman Numerals (Tricky) -Multiply and divide by 10 100 1000 (Standard) -Multiply and divide by 10 100 1000 (Tricky) What is a Tarsia? Tarsias are puzzles (a bit like dominoes or triominoes) where each piece contains a mix of questions and answers. Questions and answers have to be matched up, creating a finished puzzle. What file-types are included? TES doesn’t support Tarsia files, so these can’t be uploaded directly. Instead, you’ll be accessing PNG files (images) of the original puzzles. These are fully printable and playable. What software is required if I want to make my own Tarsia? Tarsias are created in a piece of free software by Hermitech Labs (no affiliation.) I’ve been making Tarsia for years - it’s a genuinely fantastic free resource, which you should consider downloading for yourself. It allows you to choose a blank puzzle-type, then input your own questions and answers. It then turns those into a puzzle for you. (To find the page with the download on, Google ‘Hermitch Labs Tarsia’)
