Optional SATs papers: Y4 maths set A

This Y4 maths practice optional SATs paper, exclusively available to TheSchoolRun subscribers, has been written by a primary-school teacher to mirror the old-style optional SATs papers used in schools before 2016 to assess pupils' progress at the end of the KS2 school year.

Prior to 2016, in some schools optional SATs were used by teachers to assess children's progress at the end of the school year. Only a very limited number of official optional SATs papers were available to parents for Y3, Y4 and Y5 English and maths (you can download them for free from TheSchoolRun), so we commissioned our own 'mock' papers.

New SATs exams were introduced in 2016 to reflect the revised National Curriculum. These practice papers are based on the old-style optional SATs but can still be used to offer your child extra practice opportunities and have been written to reflect the kind of questions they'll find in the official papers.

Year 4 maths optional SATs, set A includes:

• Y4 maths SATs practice paper A
• Mental maths pupil answer sheet
• Mental maths test transcript for the parent to read
• Mark scheme

All the papers and marking materials have been merged into one easy download.

Children should be given 45 minutes to complete the written practice paper A.
