YEAR 6 NUMERACY IN
THE NEW PRIMARY
CURRICULUM
FRIDAY 4TH MARCH – A FRAME PAPER, SAMPLE PAPERS,
THE TESTING PROCEDURE: ARITHMETIC
• In 2016, children will sit the new national tests for the first time.
The introduction of the arithmetic paper is a key change for the Key Stage 2 National Tests (the
mental maths test is no longer part of the tests). It is strictly timed, and the demand to answer 35-40
questions in 30 minutes could be challenging for some. Questions are purely arithmetical with a good
proportion coming from the Year 5 and 6 National Curriculum Programme of Study. Children are not
allowed to use calculators or concrete apparatus. There is typically one mark per question, but for
long multiplication and division questions there are 2 marks awarded for each correct answer and
one mark may be awarded if the answer is incorrect but the correct formal method has been used.

THE REASONING PAPERS
Reasoning is covered in two tests, each consisting of 20 questions. Children
will have 40 minutes for each paper. Again, calculators are not permitted.
A significant proportion of the content comes from Years 5 and 6 National
Curriculum Programme of Study and clearly demonstrates increased
expectations. Questions include using simple formulae for algebra,
calculating missing angles, calculating the mean and reading roman numerals.

SCORING AND REPORTING
Each child’s raw score will be calculated (the total score for the two papers).
This will then be converted to a scaled score out of 100. We won’t know
until after the 2016 test has been taken what the required standard will be.
