Curriculum Alignment
The resources focus on Year 6 and Upper KS2 Maths content relevant to the National Curriculum for England.
The End-of-Autumn Maths Assessment is specifically designed with reference to the National Curriculum for England and assesses areas including place value, the four operations, factors and multiples, fractions, decimals and metric measures.
The resources recognise that curriculum sequencing differs between schools. Content such as some Year 6 fraction calculations, decimal work and metric conversions is clearly identified as “Select if Taught” or “Use if Taught” where appropriate.
The Christmas reasoning resource reviews previously taught Upper KS2 Autumn content and provides Year 5 support alongside Year 6 core reasoning tasks.
These are independent classroom resources and are not official Department for Education or STA assessments.

Curriculum & Year Group
Designed for Year 5 and Year 6 pupils in upper KS2, reviewing selected skills from the National Curriculum for England mathematics programmes of study.
The resource revisits previously taught content. Autumn sequencing varies between schools, so teachers should select activities that match their pupils’ taught curriculum. Different-denominator fraction calculations are labelled “Year 6 — Use If Taught”, with further Year 6 depth prompts included where appropriate.
Classroom Use
Use selected pages for independent practice, paired reasoning discussions, teacher-led review or small-group revision. The final integrated review brings together number, fractions, decimals, money, measurement and time to help identify areas needing further practice.
