Rapid Reasoning | Weeks 25 to 30 | Year 4

Develop your pupils’ confidence in problem solving and reasoning with daily Rapid Reasoning questions for weeks 25 to 30 of Year 4.

With 90 questions spread across the 6 weeks you have 3 questions a day to show in an editable PowerPoint presentation. They follow a clear progression in terms of both content domain and cognitive demand and will introduce pupils to a wide variety of reasoning and problem solving question types.

This daily practice resource is designed to help overcome pupils’ barriers to reasoning and problem solving in KS2 and to develop confidence in tackling the varied and complex questions that they may encounter in their KS2 SATs.

Like all Third Space Learning resources, Rapid Reasoning follows a maths mastery approach. Pupils are encouraged to develop depth in a single topic over the course of a week to allow them to build up their knowledge gradually.

Rapid Reasoning was created as a partner resource to the very popular Fluent in Five. Regular daily practice of 10 to 20 minutes, when possible, will help you to achieve the best results.

The resource also includes support in teaching problem solving and reasoning as well as worked examples to help scaffold and develop pupils’ skills.

Suitable to use with mastery schemes such as White Rose.
