Practice Questions for Maths Sats

Subject(s): Mathematics | Age: 5-7 | 7-9 | 9-11 | Type: Assessment | Publication Year: 2000 - 2009

These photocopiable maths worksheets from Badger for Key Stage One and Key Stage Two are intended to help you, the teacher, to encourage and enable your pupils to cope with the demands of SATs.

These sample questions provide opportunities for children to explore the types of questions they will be asked. They also consolidate the key objectives of the maths National Curriculum. Delbert (whom you will already know if you are using the Key Stage Two materials) adds a lighthearted touch, as his cartoon figure gives the children hints and tips, and the odd joke to help them on their way.

Activity time: 5 to 10 minutes or longer, depending on how it is used

Level / prior knowledge: KS2 (years 5 and 6) / overview of the KS2 maths curriculum

Subject / curriculum links / skills: Maths / no specific other STEM curriculum links / overview of the KS2 maths curriculum

Preparation time: 0 to 2 minutes

Extra resources: none required, though photocopies or a data projector may be useful

Commentary: This resource is a collection of SATs practice questions for years 5 and 6 (I did not use the KS1 questions) that cover most of the main topics in the KS2 curriculum. The questions and many diagrams appear to be handwritten and hand-drawn which may give a slightly less intimidating feel than some SATs resources.

The questions are written in the style of SATs questions but also include some hints and tips in the form of a cartoon character.

Rather than relying solely on this resource to prepare children for SATs, I would use the questions in addition to the material that is already being used, perhaps by giving a page or two as a regular homework assignment or as a short activity in the lesson to consolidate or review what has already been covered. The questions are also useful for revising basic concepts, not just preparing for the SATs.
