Maths
For each lesson work through the powerpoint at your own pace. For some lessons there are two powerpoints. Then choose which activity sheet is at the correct level for you. The WR questions are harder on the second sheet so you can choose where is best for you to start. The CC sheets have VF (varied fluency) questions and RPS (reasoning and problem solving) questions. They are at three levels for yor to choose the correct level for you. I have included the answers so that you can mark your work and try and correct any mistakes. Do not worry if you don't get through everything.
