For teachers, coaches and parents

Each pack takes about twenty minutes and needs only a pencil. The maths uses this week's real numbers, so it changes every time: addition and subtraction in question one and four, a two-step problem in question two, the three times table in question three, and a subtraction from a round target in question five. The word search only runs forwards and downwards, which suits ages six and up. The answer key is on page three.

Print as many copies as you like for a classroom, a team night or the back seat of a car. It is free and always will be.
