Year 6 Arithmetic Tests with answers, written to fit on one A4 page. Based on KS2 SATs Arithmetic Papers.
I use these tests as revision for my Year 6 class. After much searching, I couldn’t find any Arithmetic practice tests that fit onto one page (to save on photocopying!), so I decided to make some.
Each test fits on to one page and comes with the answers. They are all based on KS2 SATs Arithmetic Test questions.
The tests download in both PDF and editable Word formats. There is also a front cover, which I use when putting all the tests into a booklet, so my class can keep track of their scores improving.
I hope you find them useful and it saves the trees/you some photocopying time!

This is designed specifically for revision purposes as I have found my class sometimes fail to retain certain mathematical methods or struggle to use what they know to figure out what they don’t.

PERFECT FOR SATs / KS2 TESTS
ALL ANSWERS INCLUDED
BASED ON REASONING PAPER 2
104 QUESTIONS
REPEAT QUESTION STYLE (4 OF EACH) TO PRACTISE METHOD
IDEAL FOR TARGET GROUPS AND HOMEWORK
This resource contains 104 individual questions in the SATs style. All answers are included for these questions, and where I see appropriate the method too. Questions come in groups of 4, so children can practise repeating the same or similar methods.
Perfect for the lead up to SATs. These questions are based on the 2023 Reasoning paper 2. I have taken each question from the KS2 exam (paper 2 - 2023) and created 4 extra, similar questions for each. I have always found that children benefit hugely from seeing the questions in the SATs style (and I have created these to look like the real thing), and repeating the same question style multiple times.
These questions could be used as part of universal provision for a class, or given to target children based on gaps analysis to use independently (checking the answer from the sheet). This resource would also be perfect for homework, as children could be sent home with the answers to self-mark!
End of KS2 SATs Mathematics Paper 1 Questions broken down by each topic
12 questions per page - 55 pages of questions
Now has answer sheets document attached!
This booklet is designed to help students become confident with all the different elements covered within the arithmetic section of the Mathematics curriculum.
The questions in this booklet have been split into units such as fractions and then split into smaller chunks to build student’s confidence in each area. This will lead to students identifying and improving their strengths and weaknesses, rather than focusing on their overall score from an arithmetic paper.
Unit 1 – Number
Unit 2 – Addition and Subtraction
Unit 3 – Multiplication and Division
Unit 4 – Order of Operations
Unit 5 – Fractions
Unit 6 – Percentages

Perfect for the lead up to SATs - a resource for practising arithmetic daily. These questions help with Year 6 SATs / KS2 Exams. They cover all arithmetic areas including adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, fractions, percentages, decimals, BIDMAS (BODMAS) and more.
There are 10 questions per day (Monday - Friday), and there are three weeks worth of questions (there are 150 questions in total in this resource). Each day of the week has the same structure e.g. question number 3 on Monday’s resources is always a BIDMAS question; question number 5 on a Tuesday is always a multiplying by powers of ten question, and so on. This repetition is extremely effective, and children are able to look at their completed questions from the previous week to aid them.
The questions have been structured to look like the same format as the actual SATs papers. I have found that there is some psychological advantage to this, as the children get used to not thinking of this as being a scary test, but rather something they are used to seeing on a daily basis.
All answers are provided, so this resource can be used independently by children who then check their own answers. This resource would also be useful as homework in the lead up to SATs. The answers are provided within the same file.
Are you looking for a fun way to revise for the SATS arithmetic test with your Year 6 class? Then look no further, this scavenger hunt (based on the 2019 SATS arithmetic paper) will get your Year 6 pupils up and about and revising a range of arithmetic questions. Making maths fun!
I’ve used it in two ways:
The first way: I hid the 20 question cards around the school grounds and the children had to hunt for the questions and answers.
On rainier/lazier days, I shuffle the cards and ask the pupils if they can figure out the twenty question loop.
Best of all it’s minimal prep - just print and hide - so that you can chill and enjoy your evening.
Example questions:
46% of 350
4/8 of 620
202 x 1000
2/5 divided by 5
7 x 43
**This scavenger hunt is based upon the 2019 SATS paper (I took the questions and changed the numbers). **
Whats included:
Instructions
20 arithmetic practice question loop
Recording sheet

Print and laminate the Four in a Row boards for regular use. The boards were originally designed in A3 to work especially well with larger groups but you can scale it down to print in A4 if required or preferred. There are 6 game boards, two for each level of challenge, indicated with a star system, with one star being the least challenging. The one star version includes only unit fractions of small numbers. The two star version includes fractions of larger two-digit numbers, while the three star version progresses to fractions of three and four-digit numbers.
Students work strategically as pairs against pairs or one against one to get four correct answers in a row - horizontally, vertically or diagonally. They roll a dice each time to decide from which column to pick a calculation (the columns are numbered 1-6). If there are no calculations left in the column whose number they have rolled, they either skip a go or roll again (depending on the rules you choose). Student write their answers on the board with a dry-wipe marker. They can either use a different coloured marker to record answers on the board or add an initial or symbol if using the same colour as their opponent. Answer keys can also be printed for student checking.
