These misconception cards are designed to assist teachers in developing their knowledge of the grammar and punctuation terms in the KS2 curriculum. They include examples that could be used with a class, as well as common misconceptions which it may be useful to address, particularly as children move into Year 6 where the GPS test questions are often designed to assess their deeper understanding of concepts.

The purpose of this resource is to provide Mathematics revision opportunities against the clock.
The intention is that pupils complete the 3 questions in 3 minutes.
The first 2 challenges model typical questions from the Arithmetic paper.
The third challenge is modelled on typical questions from the Reasoning paper (which can be answered quickly).
In addition to giving the solutions (which drop down in a fourth box), a discussion on the strategies used is advised. It is important that pupils develop quick decision making as to whether to solve the arithmetic questions mentally, with a few jottings or by using a standard written method.
