The 10-Minute Tests are short, timed tests designed to consolidate skills and build speed and confidence as children approach the SATs. Ideal for independent work sessions at home, the tests provide essential bite-sized practice of key national test topics. KS2 SATs Reasoning 10-Minute Tests contains twenty-four short tests to develop children's mathematical reasoning skills. As well as mixed topic tests, the book includes sixteen topic-specific tests designed to give children targeted practice of the eight key areas tested in the SATs: number and place value; addition, subtraction, multiplication and division; fractions, decimals and percentages; ratio and proportion; algebra; measurement; geometry; and statistics. Questions are presented in the same style and format as those in the SATs, and the tests become gradually more challenging throughout the book. Pull-out answers ensure quick and easy marking and a progress chart allows you to record scores and track improvement.

Pinpoint is a new series of activities and resources created to provide you with highly focused resources for specific needs in Maths.

Box contains 2 sets of 60 activity cards and a 32 page book of answers and teacher notes (A5 size)

Rich independent problem-solving tasks for exploring maths concepts in greater depth

Covers all strands of the Year 1 Programme of Study and colour-coded for ease. Also matched to White Rose planning, Curriculum for Excellence and Abacus, making it easy to find cards for your lesson

3 levels of difficulty on each page (Towards, Securing and Deeper) provide appropriate challenge for all 

Cards begin with a low-threshold task (to stop children getting stuck and provide problem-solving opportunities for all), and then progress with real stretch for high attainers 

These resources are flexible and easy to use, saving teachers time searching for differentiated problems. The teacher notes provide additional hints and stretch questions as well as answers. The activities prompt children in Y1 / P2 to solve non-routine problems and reason mathematically in increasing depth. They support mastery teaching by keeping a class engaged on the same topic, with independent work of increasing depth. The cards are colourful and engaging, featuring regular characters who provide suggestions and encouragement. Two sets of the activities are included to facilitate group work.
