Arithmetic Master is a game I use with Year 6 in the last few weeks before the SATs. You know how it feels - when you’ve done past paper after past paper and you still need to work on retrieval but you need some ENERGY! This is a quiz which involves partner work, peer support, team names and unlimited points and my children LOVE it. Covering all of the Arithmetic question areas from Paper 1 in a quiz format. • Children work in pairs for this quiz. • For each section (PPT slide) each child will be given 2 to 3 minutes (your discretion) to answer the questions independently on their own piece of paper. • The next 2 minutes will be sharing and discussing answers with their partner. • Before sharing, they will need to decide upon a final answer as a team. • This is great for peer work, talking through HOW they came to their answer. • Points are decided by the teacher: correct answers; superb explanations; good behaviour; staying focused. • I also deduct points to maintain behaviour management: shouting out, arguing etc. I find that the children learn very quickly that it’s all a bit of fun in the midst of all their revision and behave well beyond the first couple of deductions! • Having ultimate power over the points also ensures that you can award points to children with low self esteem who need the boost. There are over 20 colourful question slides, each containing at least 6 Arithmetic questions. This quiz can easily be broken down into sections, over several sessions . I show this as a PPT presentation and everyone looks at the main smartboard but I have also included a PDF in case you need to print out or Air Drop questions. Another PPT and PDF contains the answers which I use as a class so I can see what everyone is getting out of it, what my areas of need are, giving out points and also to keep up the energy. However, this could also be used for self marking. I really hope you and your class enjoy this resource as much as we do!

Points are awarded for correct answers, stellar explanations, and exemplary behaviour, . Teachers have the flexibility to customise point allocation, ensuring a fair and motivating experience for all. I find that the children learn very quickly that it’s all a bit of fun in the midst of all their revision and behave well beyond the first couple of ‘shouting out’ deductions!

The quiz can be easily segmented into sections, making it adaptable to various classroom schedules. Flexible Presentation Formats: Whether displayed as a PowerPoint presentation on the smartboard for the whole class or distributed as a PDF for individual use, Reasoning Master accommodates diverse teaching styles and technological preferences.

This game is fantastic for developing fluency and rapid recall of multiplication facts. How to play: Put all of the strips into a cup/pot Children play the game in groups Children choose a strip and if they answer correctly, they get to keep this. If children pull out a ‘KABOOM’ strip they have to put all of their collected strips back into the pot. The child at the end of the round with the most strips wins! (This game can last as long as you need it to, which is fab!) Children can use a calculator to check everyones answers, a whiteboard to support them or a multiplication square.
