Year 6 Arithmetic Tests with answers, written to fit on one A4 page. Based on KS2 SATs Arithmetic Papers.
I use these tests as revision for my Year 6 class. After much searching, I couldn’t find any Arithmetic practice tests that fit onto one page (to save on photocopying!), so I decided to make some.
Each test fits on to one page and comes with the answers. They are all based on KS2 SATs Arithmetic Test questions.
The tests download in both PDF and editable Word formats. There is also a front cover, which I use when putting all the tests into a booklet, so my class can keep track of their scores improving.
I hope you find them useful and it saves the trees/you some photocopying time!
A bundle perfect for the last 4 weeks before the 2024 KS2 SATs.
ANSWERS INCLUDED FOR ALL QUESTIONS
Daily arithmetic - each day for 3 weeks.
Questions based on statutory exams reasoning papers 2 and 3.
Each reasoning question type has 4 unique questions so children can practise repeating methods.

A set of three SATS style question Games based on Arithmetic, Roman numerals and problem solving questions found in the SATs papers - INCLUDES ANSWERS. Can be done as a independent revision activity or used in boosters.
Created by a year six teacher (97% maths at and above expected pass rate last year), maths coordinator and deputy head. Used on the afternoon before the 2018 maths SATS tests and updated in 2019.
The games allow the teacher to check the mathematics concept with a SATS style questions.
This is designed specifically for revision purposes as I have found my class sometimes fail to retain certain mathematical methods or struggle to use what they know to figure out what they don’t.
Requires dice and counters.

This resource contains daily arithmetic and reasoning questions for every day in a 6 week half-term. There are 330 individual questions in total. There are 10 arithmetic questions per day (other than Fridays which have 5 questions…I gave my class a little break on Fridays!), and 2 reasoning questions.
The questions have been structured to look like the same format as the actual SATs papers. I have found that there is some psychological advantage to this, as the children get used to not thinking of this as being a scary test, but rather something they are used to seeing on a daily basis.
Over the course of a week, children will encounter virtually all arithmetic question types (I based the questions on the KS2 papers from 2017, 2018 and 2019). They will also focus on 2 areas of reasoning.
The format of the arithmetic questions stays the same for each day of the week: Week 1; Day 1 questions will be the same structure and Week 2; Day 1 questions, and so on. Children can therefore use their previous learning from this resource to aid them. For example, once they know that Question 4 on a ‘Day 1’ is a multiplying fractions question, they can look back at their previous Daily 10s to help them.
The reasoning questions follow the same type for the duration of the week, and I have found that this really helps children to answer these difficult questions. For example, in the first week, the first reasoning question will always involve data in a table, and the second reasoning question will be about reflection.
This resource does take some time to set up to begin with, but I definitely found it worth while! I set up separate maths books that I called ‘Additional Maths Learning’. Though I have them a little longer to begin with, eventually I gave children 15 minutes to complete their 12 questions: 10 minutes for the arithmetic and 5 for the reasoning. I then spent another 15 minutes going through the questions thoroughly, with children marking and correcting their own work. Although allocating 30 minutes daily sounds a lot, I found this to be more valuable in the lead up to SATs than the actual maths lessons! Children definitely enjoyed these questions in the end, as they became proud of competing with themselves and seeing their score go up.
THIS RESOURCE CONTAINS THREE ATTACHMENTS: THE DAILY ARITHMETIC QUESTIONS; THE DAILY REASONING QUESTIONS; AND AN EXAMPLE OF A CHILD’S WORK FROM MY CLASS.
Suitable for both Key stage 3 and 4. This worksheet is designed to help pupils revise fractions of amounts. The worksheet is fully differentiated (mild, medium spicy and hot) allowing pupils to work at different levels simultaneously. The worksheet also features a section for pupils to self-assess their understanding and set a target for next lesson,
Answers included ready to be projected onto a smartboard.

PERFECT FOR SATs / KS2 TESTS
ALL ANSWERS INCLUDED
BASED ON REASONING PAPER 2
104 QUESTIONS
REPEAT QUESTION STYLE (4 OF EACH) TO PRACTISE METHOD
IDEAL FOR TARGET GROUPS AND HOMEWORK
This resource contains 104 individual questions in the SATs style. All answers are included for these questions, and where I see appropriate the method too. Questions come in groups of 4, so children can practise repeating the same or similar methods.
Perfect for the lead up to SATs. These questions are based on the 2023 Reasoning paper 2. I have taken each question from the KS2 exam (paper 2 - 2023) and created 4 extra, similar questions for each. I have always found that children benefit hugely from seeing the questions in the SATs style (and I have created these to look like the real thing), and repeating the same question style multiple times.
These questions could be used as part of universal provision for a class, or given to target children based on gaps analysis to use independently (checking the answer from the sheet). This resource would also be perfect for homework, as children could be sent home with the answers to self-mark!
End of KS2 SATs Mathematics Paper 1 Questions broken down by each topic
12 questions per page - 55 pages of questions
Now has answer sheets document attached!
This booklet is designed to help students become confident with all the different elements covered within the arithmetic section of the Mathematics curriculum.
The questions in this booklet have been split into units such as fractions and then split into smaller chunks to build student’s confidence in each area. This will lead to students identifying and improving their strengths and weaknesses, rather than focusing on their overall score from an arithmetic paper.
Unit 1 – Number
Unit 2 – Addition and Subtraction
Unit 3 – Multiplication and Division
Unit 4 – Order of Operations
Unit 5 – Fractions
Unit 6 – Percentages
