“Within eight weeks our pupils were shaving minutes off their SATs arithmetic papers - and loving the challenge.”
— Mrs Patel, Headteacher, Springfield Primary
Challenge teachers face...
Patchy, year-to-year coverage of core arithmetic skills. Different classes emphasise different methods, so pupils arrive in the next year group with wide-ranging gaps.
How Primary Arithmetic fixes it...
Whole-school, spiralled sequence
Every year follows the same weekly progression of 36 SATs-style tests, so skills are introduced, revisited and extended in a predictable order from Year 1 to Year 6.
Challenge teachers face...
Too little time for fluency before SATs “crunch season”. Arithmetic practice often gets squeezed out by topic objectives and end-of-unit assessments.
How Primary Arithmetic fixes it...
Built-in 5-minute fluency bursts + mini test
The Teach → Practise → Test → Review cycle drops neatly into lesson starters or morning work, giving pupils timed practice every single week without stealing full periods.
Challenge teachers face...
Hard to pinpoint exactly why pupils make calculation errors. Marking tells you who is struggling but not the underlying misconception. Clear data is needed to ensure progress.
How Primary Arithmetic fixes it...
Smart formative-assessment tracker
After each weekly test you log scores once; the spreadsheet auto-flags patterns (e.g., place-value slip, inverse-operation confusion) so you can regroup pupils and reteach with laser focus.
“Average arithmetic scores in Year 4 jumped 23 marks within a term.”
— Ms Davies, Maths Lead, Oakwood Primary

FAQs
Q: How do I fit these weekly assessments into my already busy timetable?
The tests are designed to be quick and focused. Think of them as a weekly checkpoint - just a short segment of a maths lesson or a morning starter. The key is consistency, not lengthy preparation.
