And now there's a new challenge. Some of my year 5 students are consistently achieving high scores at the stage 7 level, I will have to create something else for them to keep them challenged next year!

Maths update

I'm a year 4/5 teacher at a large multi-cultural primary school in Auckland. I've written 20 sets of number knowledge revision sheets ie enough for 20 weeks. Each set has 6 different levels ranging from early stage 4 to stage 7.

There are two parts to the sheet - one half is number knowledge practise, the other side is revision of geometry, measurement, statistics, number strategy ideas.

At my school, we use them as part of our weekly homework programme. We've used them successfully for over a year now. The children like seeing clear progress, the teachers report that their students are remembering more in for example geometry and measurement. (previously we have been frustrated at the difficulty our students had retaining the vocabulary and ideas in these areas)
