Every free ClassArc resource for families in England in one place — curriculum guides for each year, the SATs, GCSE checklists and reference sheets, and a parent's guide to A-Level. Find your child's stage and start there.
What is ClassArc?
ClassArc is live one-to-one online maths tutoring for school-age children. One teacher and one child, for 55 minutes. The same teacher every week. Classes run inside our own classroom software, not a video call: a shared worksheet you both write on, a shared whiteboard, and answers that sync live.
Start here
This page links every free ClassArc maths resource written for families in England, grouped by key stage. There are three kinds: curriculum guides that explain what each year covers, checklists and reference sheets to work through at home, and practice questions with the method written out in full.
The resources are checked against the Department for Education's programmes of study, the Standards and Testing Agency's test frameworks and the exam boards' own specifications. They are written for the 2026–27 school year: KS2 tests in May 2027, and GCSE and A-Level exams in the summer of 2027.
A checklist tells you where the gaps are; a guide tells you what the school is working towards. Most parents get the most from reading the guide for their child's year first, then using a checklist to decide what to practise.
Years 1–6
Early number sense matters most here. Nearly every gap that surfaces in Year 6 or Year 9 started as an unsure fact in these years — place value, number bonds, and the tables the Year 4 multiplication tables check asks for in June.
What Years 1 and 2 cover, from counting and place value to the first fractions and telling the time.
Years 1–2Years 3 to 6 in one place: written methods, the tables check, decimals, percentages and the start of algebra.
Years 3–6The three papers, the scaled score, where reasoning marks go, and the free past papers the STA publishes.
The SATsFifteen original questions in the style of the main tests, with every answer worked through and the common slips named.
Try the questionsYear by year, primary
Counting, number bonds to 20 and then 100, and the first multiplication tables.
Year 2 guideColumn methods, fractions of amounts, and the tables to 12 × 12 that the Year 4 check tests.
Year 4 guideDecimals, percentages and long multiplication — the content most 11+ tests are built on.
Year 5 guideRatio, algebra and the end of key stage 2, with the SATs in May.
Year 6 guideYears 7–9
Key Stage 3 quietly decides GCSE grades. Algebra, ratio and negative numbers arrive in Year 7, and by Year 9 many schools have started the GCSE course. A student who can handle fractions and rearranging by the end of Year 9 keeps both tiers open.
The three years between primary and GCSE, and the algebra every later topic depends on.
KS3 guideThe move from primary: negative numbers, the first letters in algebra, and a different way of being taught.
Year 7 guideRatio, equations and geometry taken further — often the year a gap first shows.
Year 8 guideThe end of key stage 3 and, in many schools, the first year of the GCSE course.
Year 9 guideYears 10–11
GCSE maths is three papers of an hour and a half, one without a calculator, sat at Foundation (grades 1–5) or Higher (grades 4–9). AQA, Pearson Edexcel and OCR all test the same Department for Education content, so every resource below works whichever board the school uses.
Every topic, tagged Foundation-and-Higher or Higher-only, with a red, amber and green rating to find the gaps.
Open the checklistWhat the official sheet gives, what questions print for you, and the formulae nobody hands out.
See the formulaeWhat to revise in each area, the technique that saves marks, and a twelve-week plan to the first paper.
Plan the revisionHow the tiers differ, which topics are Higher-only, who decides, and what a grade 3 means after 16.
Read the postShort, complete answers on boards, papers, calculators, grade 4 against grade 5, and resits.
Read the answersThe year the course is taught, then the year it is examined — mocks, past papers and results day.
Year 11 guideYears 12–13
A-Level Maths ends in three two-hour papers at the end of Year 13, roughly two-thirds pure maths and one-third statistics and mechanics. The jump from GCSE is steeper than most families expect, and it normally shows in the first Year 12 test.
The papers board by board, the large data set, calculators, and why the first term of Year 12 feels so fast.
Read the guideThe first A-Level year: algebra that has to be automatic, calculus from scratch, and the first mechanics.
Year 12 guideThe second year and the exams, including the topics that pull the whole course together.
Year 13 guideFree from the source
Whatever else your child uses, the organisations that set the exams publish the most useful practice material themselves.
With a teacher
The resources here work on their own. If you would rather have someone find the gaps with your child, that is what ClassArc's free first class is: a full 55-minute lesson with the teacher who would go on to teach them, starting a little above where the school has reached and working back until the ground is solid.
Afterwards you hear what was secure and what was not — including if tutoring is not needed. No card is taken. Regular classes for Years 1–8 are from £11 each; the details are on UK pricing.

Your teacher, and the small team supporting them at ClassArc. We never sell, rent, or share your information with anyone outside ClassArc. We use Web3Forms to receive form submissions, and standard email and WhatsApp for messaging, nothing else.
We treat any information about your child with extra care. We only collect what we need to teach them well, such as their grade and what they're working on. We never use a child's photo, name, or work in any marketing without the parent's explicit written permission.
You can ask us to show you what we have on file, correct anything inaccurate, or delete your data entirely, at any time. Just email hello@theclassarc.com and we'll handle it within a few days.

ClassArc is a one-on-one online tutoring service. We provide live, scheduled classes between a teacher and a student, along with homework, feedback, and study support.
Each class is 55 minutes. You can reschedule or cancel a class up to 5 minutes before it starts. If you miss a class without notice, we usually credit it back to your balance and reschedule based on what works for the teacher and student.
The first demo class is free, no card required. After that, plans are billed in advance for the number of classes you choose (8, 24, or ~48). We'll send you a payment link directly once you've picked a plan.
If you want to stop classes at any point, we refund whatever class balance is left on your plan. No questions asked, no friction. Refunds are processed within 7 business days.
We expect students and parents to treat teachers with respect, and teachers to do the same. We reserve the right to end the relationship if classes become unsafe, abusive, or disruptive, with a full refund of any unused balance.
If we update these terms, we'll email you before the changes take effect, so you have time to review them.
For anything, email hello@theclassarc.com.
