Optional SATs papers: Y5 maths set A

A Year 5 maths 'mock' optional SATs paper, written by a primary-school teacher to mirror the old optional SATs papers used in schools prior to 2016 to assess pupils' progress at the end of the school year. TheSchoolRun optional SATs practice papers are exclusively available to subscribers.

Until 2016, optional SATs were taken by children in some schools in Years 3, 4 and 5 and 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 Year 3, Year 4 and Year 5 English and maths (you can download them for free from TheSchoolRun), so we commissioned our own 'mock' papers.

In 2016, new SATs exams were introduced to reflect the new National Curriculum. These mock papers are based on the 'old-style' optional SATs, used up to and including 2015, but will still offer your child extra practice and revision opportunities.

Year 5 maths optional SATs, set A includes:

• Y5 maths SATs practice set A: mental maths test
• Mental maths pupil answer sheet
• Mental maths test transcript for the parent to read
• Y5 maths SATs set A: paper 1 (to be completed without a calculator)
• Y5 maths SATs set A: paper 2 (to be completed with a calculator)
• Answers and mark scheme

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

Children should be given 45 minutes to complete practice paper 1 and 45 minutes to complete practice paper 2.
