Year 2 SATs Maths Past Papers

Key Stage 1 SATs Maths

Year 2 SATs maths assessments cover the Key Stage 1 curriculum across two papers:

• Number: counting, place value to 100, addition and subtraction facts
• Multiplication and division: 2, 5 and 10 times tables
• Fractions: halves, quarters and thirds of shapes and quantities
• Measurement and geometry: 2-D/3-D shapes, length, mass, capacity and time

Paper 2 — Reasoning

The reasoning paper includes a variety of question styles:

• Number sequences and pattern recognition
• Simple word problems involving money and measures
• Comparing and ordering numbers using < and > symbols
• Reading and interpreting simple tables, pictograms and block charts

Supporting Your Child

Year 2 SATs are low-stakes but good preparation builds habits that last:

• Practise number bonds to 10 and 20 until they are automatic
• Use everyday objects to make maths concrete and memorable
• Encourage children to explain their reasoning
• Short, regular sessions tend to work better than occasional long ones

YearWise generates a varied set of curriculum-aligned questions every time — so your child has fresh material to practise. Sessions are short (10–30 questions), focused and available on any device. No account needed to get started.
