Transform maths practice into brain-teasing adventures with Sum Fun Maths Assessment: Years 5–6! Designed for busy teachers, these reproducible self-correcting puzzle sheets assess key curriculum skills through laughter-filled challenges.

The aim of the ‘Sum Fun’ series is to enable teachers to gather evidence and assess children’s learning in maths. Linked to year group objectives from the National Curriculum, each fun activity sheet requires pupils to use their mathematical skills to solve a series of questions. They must then use the answers to ‘crack the code’ and find the solutions to silly jokes, puns and riddles.
