questions, a photocopiable child’s answer sheet for each test and an answer sheet
for each test. A class record sheet is also provided where children’s progress can
be tracked.
Each Key Stage 2 assessment contains 20 questions. Year 1 has 10 questions and Year 2 has 15 questions.
At Key Stage 2, there are 5 second, 10 second and 15 second questions. In Year 1,
all questions have 10 seconds for the answers and in Year 2 there are 10 and 15 second questions.
The difficulty level increases throughout each test, although some of the more challenging questions
are knowledge-based and therefore can still be accessed by less able children.
The results of the tests can be used to provide vital evidence when a teacher is
making a judgement on a child’s level when implementing the
Assessing Pupils’ Progress Strategy. Discussion of methods and
investigation into different strategies used can also provide very useful information
to help determine a child’s maths level and, crucially, highlight the next steps
for effective learning.
Analyses of results can also be used to highlight individual, group or class strengths
and weaknesses so that future mathematics planning can be adjusted accordingly and
meaningful targets can be set. This diagnostic analysis provides vital information
that a school can use to take children’s learning forward. This forms part
of an effective Assessment for Learning Strategy,
signposting the way forward for teachers and learners.
Many children find completing a mental assessment very challenging due to the pressure
of time limits. These assessments are designed to provide vital practice thus enhancing
children’s skills and confidence in mental maths. They also provide a platform for
discussion and investigation into strategies for mental maths and problem solving.
