Looking for a simple and effective way to keep Year 5 and Year 6 arithmetic skills sharp throughout the year?

This comprehensive resource contains fifty daily arithmetic retrieval activities designed to develop fluency, confidence and accuracy across the full range of Year 6 arithmetic objectives. Each session has been carefully structured to revisit key skills regularly, ensuring pupils retain important methods and become increasingly secure with the calculations commonly assessed in Key Stage 2

Each day includes a carefully balanced mixture of arithmetic questions covering a range of calculation types. Skills are revisited repeatedly throughout the program to strengthen long-term retention.

The presentation format makes the resource ideal for whole-class teaching. Simply display the daily slide, allow pupils to complete the questions in books or on white boards, and then reveal the answers on the following slide.
