Key themes –
- To review changes and questions in the statutory assessments

This course provides an overview of the changes to the KS2 primary mathematics tests including a thorough review of available exemplification material and the previous two years of reasoning papers.
The course will recommend an approach to calculation for year 6 teachers that will encourage children to make the best choice of calculation methods during the test to maximise their chances of achieving the best possible outcome.
There will be a particular emphasis on the format and approach needed to prepare children for the ‘reasoning’ and ‘arithmetical’ aspects of the tests.
