Year 6 / Year 7 Maths Starters Consolidation

• Ideal for pupils in year 6 (last year of junior school) and year 7 (first year at secondary school);
• 50 sheets of questions with answers (each lasting 10-15 minutes);
• CD ROM with the files in pdf format for further printouts;
• Email service to the author.

This pack has mostly level 4 questions (the level expected for most 11 year olds). In addition there are level 5 questions to extend the more able. This pack is also ideal for pupils in Year 7: during the summer break between primary to secondary, most pupils tend to forget skills and knowledge. Thus, the Year 6 / Year7 Maths Starters Consolidation pack will remind pupils of the good mathematical work they did in year 6.

Year 8 Maths Starters

• Written for the majority of pupils aged 12/13 at secondary school;
• 45 sheets of questions with answers (each lasting 10-15 minutes);
• CD ROM with the files in pdf format for further printouts;
• Email service to the author.

This pack has mostly level 5 questions, extending pupils who achieved a level 4 at key stage 2. Some level 6 questions are also included, to challenge the more able. The format and wording of questions is similar to the Year 6/7 pack.

Key Stage 3 SATs test sheets Levels 3-7

• Ideal for pupils who will be sitting their Key Stage 3 SATs (Year 9 at secondary school);
• An extensive resource containing 8 test papers very similar to the end of Key Stage 3 (ages 13-14) statutory tests.
• CD ROM with the files in pdf format for further printouts;
• Email service to the author.

Using the revision papers will give your child further opportunities to familiarise themselves with typical SATs questions in terms of the wording, layout and diagrams.

All questions are set at level 8 (the highest National Curriculum level).
