Essentials targets Year 7 (ages 11–12) and spans 72 carefully sequenced skills—from number bonds to fractions and percentages. Whilst being designed for learners in this year group, it is also great differention for high-performing younger learners or as a basics programme for older learners with numeracy gaps.

No. Print-and-go PDFs keep tech hassle to zero. Learners just need the sheet and a pen; you’ll project the answer slides for self-marking. If you want digital delivery, the worksheets also open perfectly in Google Classroom or Teams assignments.
