Coverage

• The three tests cover objectives from Y3 Y6 of
  the new curriculum
• Each test contains elements of all four year
  groups but not necessarily in order

4
Coverage
22 questions cover objectives from previous years
5
The Scale of the Task

• 48 of the 76 questions on the sample papers
  relate to objectives from previous year groups
• Some of these objectives may not have existed
  when your children were in those year groups
• Thus, we must make sure that the children are
  confident with concepts from previous year groups
  as well as covering Year 6 objectives.

6
Paper 1 Arithmetic

• Focus is on calculating with four operations
• Every question has space for working out and an
  answer box
• However, not every question needs written working

7
Paper 1 Arithmetic
Relatively simple question to start with. This is
a good demonstration of the type of question that
you wouldnt necessarily need to do written
working for.
8
Paper 1 Arithmetic
All of the two-mark questions are either long
multiplication or division.
9
Paper 1 Arithmetic
This is the last question from paper 1. In my
opinion, the hardest elements in this paper
involve calculating with fractions like this.
10
Papers 2 and 3 Reasoning

• Focus is on problem-solving, but a good
  understanding of calculation is needed
• Multi-step problems
• Some equipment may be used (ruler, protractor and
  mirror tracing paper is no longer permitted)
• Children must read questions carefully, decide
  which operation(s) is/are applicable and then
  carry out their working carefully

11
Papers 2 and 3 Reasoning
Some questions are laid out in deliberately
unfamiliar ways the maths being tested here is
237 20 ___ . It is more a test of careful
reading and reasoning.

Papers 2 and 3 Reasoning
Classic two-step problems like this are not new,
but again test childrens ability to read
carefully and solve a problem.
14
Papers 2 and 3 Reasoning
This question has two parts (this is part one),
and each part requires you to read, understand
and manipulate the formula.
15
Papers 2 and 3 Reasoning
This is part two of the question.
16
Papers 2 and 3 Reasoning
Explanatory style of question 1. Information is
given (often in the form of data) 2. A statement
is given as the opinion of someone 3. You must
explain why they are right or wrong (see next
slide)
17
Papers 2 and 3 Reasoning
Explanatory style of question 3. You must
explain why they are right or wrong The key
skill here is to be concise, but to include all
necessary information
