Year 6 SATs Maths Revision

Primary school children learning in a classroom

Arithmetic Paper

The Year 6 SATs arithmetic paper covers efficient calculation across all four operations:

  • Long multiplication and long division with multi-digit numbers
  • Fractions: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division
  • Order of operations (BODMAS) and mixed calculations
  • Percentages, decimals and negative numbers in context

Reasoning Papers

Papers 2 and 3 test mathematical reasoning in real-world contexts:

  • Multi-step word problems requiring planning and checking
  • Ratio, proportion and scale problems
  • Geometry: properties of shapes, angles, coordinates and symmetry
  • Statistics: interpreting charts, tables, mean and range

How to Prepare

Targeted practice is the most effective way to build confidence before the SATs:

  • Identify and address specific weak topics early
  • Practise past SATs papers under timed conditions to build stamina
  • Review marks carefully; understand why an answer was wrong
  • Keep revision sessions short (20-30 minutes) and varied to maintain focus
