Equipment Required

  • Printed question and answer sheet for the reader
  • Printed blank answer page for child
  • Stopwatch or timer
  • Pencil

No other equipment is required to complete this test. No rulers, protractors or calculators should be used.

How to use the tests

Read out the text in red to the child. This tells them how long they have for each question.

Once you are ready to start, read out each question twice and then start the time (5 secs for the first 10 questions and 10 secs for the next 5 questions.

Although this is a mental maths test and the children should be doing the majority of working out in their heads, it is sometimes useful to write jottings down to help work out the answer. This is more than acceptable and good practice in case they need to go back (if they have spare time on one question) to finish working it out.

At the end of the test, mark the questions together and discuss how the child worked them out. Go through any they may have got wrong and work them out together.
