MATHS REVISION KS2 – HOW WILL YOUR CHILD BE ASSESSED?
(click here to expand!)
These exams are used to determine how well your child is progressing, and whether they are at the required standard of education (ideal for a student in Key Stage 2).
During the exam, your child will be given 3 papers:
• Paper 1 – Arithmetic
• Paper 2 – Reasoning
• Paper 3 – Reasoning
ARITHMETIC PAPER
During the arithmetic paper, your child will be provided with calculations in relation to addition, subtraction, multiplication, ratio, fractions, decimals and percentages.
These questions are designed to assess how well your child can calculate simple calculations – without the use of a calculator!
REASONING PAPER
During the reasoning papers, your child be provided questions that require more logic and interpretation. These papers are designed so that students have more detail to work through, in order to reach the correct answer.
Often, your child will be provided with details of someone going shopping and the amount they spent, or someone waiting for a train and needs to work out their travel time – all of these are designed to create ‘stages’. Each question will usually have more than one stage, or will require to look at more than one thing.
