As Year 6 students approach their SATs this term, you'll be wanting to help reinforce key skills in English and Maths so that they can go into the tests feeling their most confident.

There are many fantastic opportunities to celebrate maths in school, including national and international maths day and maths weeks. Whenever your school chooses to celebrate maths, use this blog to gather ideas and find exciting resources.

Each month we will be highlighting a #MashoftheMonth, this will focus on a tool or application and how it can be used within the classroom to support learning across the curriculum.

The Mash of the Month for February is Table Toons, as it's just had a fantastic upgrade! Table Toons helps children to learn their multiplication tables in a range of ways, including creating their own multiplication musical playlists and playing themed games.

Take a look at our number-filled learning activities and teaching resources for the 25th anniversary of NSPCC's number day on Friday 7th February.

It's that time of year when children in all year groups will be practicing and revising their key skills, ready for SATs, the Multiplication Tables Check or end of year assessments.  We've got lots of resources on Purple Mash and Serial Mash to help with the key skills across reading, writing, SPaG and maths.
