# Daily Maths Review Slides and Warm-Ups for Primary > Daily maths review slides and booklets for Foundation to Year 6, made by Australian teachers, with sets by year level and a simple 10 minute routine. ## Daily Maths Review for Australian Primary Classrooms A daily maths review is a short set of mixed questions at the start of the maths lesson: a few minutes on number facts, a clock to read, a pattern to finish, a measurement or data question, and a problem to think through. Most of it covers what the class learned weeks ago, not today's lesson. That is the point. Coming back to a skill again and again is what keeps it. Below are daily review sets made by Australian teachers, sorted by year level. Further down is a simple 10 minute routine for running one. **Free for the board:** the interactive [hundreds chart](/tools/hundreds-chart), [interactive number line](/tools/number-line), [interactive fraction wall](/tools/fraction-wall) and [teaching clock](/tools/teaching-clock) cover the number, fraction and time questions in a review, full screen and with nothing to download. **Free daily review sheets:** the [maths worksheet generator](/tools/maths-worksheets) mixes topics from your year on one A4 sheet.

A typical set of five or six questions might include: - **Number facts**: a quick addition, subtraction or times tables question - **Place value**: partition a number, or say what the 4 in 4,382 is worth - **Measurement or time**: read a clock, compare two lengths, convert units - **Patterns**: continue a pattern or find the missing number - **Space**: name a shape, count its faces, find a line of symmetry - **Statistics**: read a value off a picture graph or column graph - **A worded problem**: one short problem that needs a strategy, not just a fact Most of the questions should revisit skills taught earlier in the term or the year, with only one or two on the current unit. The Australian Education Research Organisation describes this as [spacing and retrieval](https://www.edresearch.edu.au/summaries-explainers/explainers/spacing-retrieval): spreading learning over several lessons and giving students regular chances to recall it. It also builds fluency, one of the proficiencies the [Australian Curriculum v9 for Mathematics](https://www.australiancurriculum.edu.au/curriculum-information/understand-this-learning-area/mathematics) asks teachers to develop alongside understanding, reasoning and problem-solving. ### Slides, booklets or task cards? - **Slides** (PowerPoint or Google Slides) suit a whole-class review on the board, with answers revealed one at a time. - **Booklets** give each student a page a day and a record of their work across the term. - **Task cards** work well as a fast finisher or a rotation, rather than a whole-class start. Many sets on TeachBuySell come as 10 week packs, roughly a term of reviews, so you can buy one term at a time. ## Daily Maths Review for Year 3 and Year 4 _(Dynamic listing feed — browse at the page URL for live results.)_ ## Running a 10 Minute Daily Review The routine matters more than the questions. Students should know exactly what happens when maths starts. 1. **Questions up as students arrive.** The review is on the board before the class sits down, so nobody waits. 2. **Work alone, on mini-whiteboards or in a booklet** (4 to 5 minutes). Keep it quiet and timed. A visible timer helps. 3. **Go through the answers together** (3 to 4 minutes). Ask two or three students how they worked out the harder questions, not only what they got. 4. **Note what to reteach** (1 minute). If half the class missed the clock question, put time into tomorrow's review and next week's too. Keep it to 10 minutes. A review that grows to 20 minutes eats the lesson it was meant to start. If a question needs real teaching, move it into the main lesson. For students who need support, keep a number line, hundreds chart or times tables chart on the desk. For students who finish early, add a "show a second way" challenge. For more warm-up formats beyond the daily review, such as Number Talks and number of the day, see the [maths warm-ups guide](/teacher-guides/maths-warm-ups). ## Daily Maths Review for Year 5 and Year 6 _(Dynamic listing feed — browse at the page URL for live results.)_ ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is a daily maths review? A daily maths review is a short set of mixed maths questions, usually five or six, at the start of the lesson. Most questions revisit skills taught earlier in the term or year, such as number facts, place value, time, shape and data, so students keep practising them long after the unit has finished. ### How long should a daily maths review take? About 10 minutes: four or five minutes for students to work, three or four to go through the answers, and a minute to note what needs reteaching. If it regularly runs longer, cut the number of questions rather than rushing the discussion. ### What is the difference between a daily review and a maths warm-up? A daily review is one kind of maths warm-up. It uses a set of mixed questions across the strands. Other warm-ups focus on one thing, such as a Number Talk about a single calculation or a times tables game. See the [maths warm-ups guide](/teacher-guides/maths-warm-ups) for those formats. ### Should the daily review match the current unit? Mostly no. Keep one or two questions on the current unit and use the rest to revisit earlier topics. Coming back to a skill over several weeks is what helps students remember it. ### Are daily maths review slides aligned to the Australian Curriculum? Many sets on TeachBuySell are written for the Australian Curriculum v9 and say so in their title or description, and some are written for the NSW syllabus. Check the year level and curriculum on each listing before you buy. ### Are there free daily maths review resources? Yes, some sellers offer free sets or samples.
