We have a new worksheet/skills test available for those wishing to extend their students' skills and confidence in this area. I use this resource to help extend advanced year 4 students who are preparing to take the Selective Schools entrance exam and for those who need extension. I also use it with year 5 students who are not advanced in order to help increase their skills, understanding and confidence. It is designed to expose students to a variety of question types and terminology that is necessary to understand in maths in order to further support their understanding.The resource is only US$2 and comes with an answer sheet and a teacher's guide for beginning teachers, home schooling parents or casual teachers. Please note that this is a zip file, however if you prefer to be sent a word document or PDF files instead, we would be happy to arrange that.
