About these tests

Free maths practice tests for Years 3, 4, 5 and 6, one topic at a time: number and place value, the four operations, fractions, decimals and percentages, measurement, shape, position and direction, and statistics, with ratio and algebra in Year 6.

Each test picks 15 or 20 questions from a larger bank (1779 questions in all), so a child can try again and get a fresh set. Every question is matched to a statement in the national curriculum in England for that year, and every answer comes with a short explanation. Charts, shapes, clocks and grids are drawn on screen and described in words for screen readers.

These are topic tests for practice at home or in class. They are not the end of key stage 2 tests (SATs) and do not give a level or a scaled score.

Key facts

The national curriculum in England sets out what pupils should be taught in mathematics in each year of key stage 2 (Years 3 to 6). The programmes of study are set out year by year, but schools are only required to teach the relevant programme of study by the end of the key stage, so a topic may be taught a little earlier or later than the year shown here.

In Year 3, pupils should be taught to interpret and present data using bar charts, pictograms and tables. Source: National curriculum in England: mathematics programmes of study (GOV.UK) (Year 3: statistics)
In Year 4, pupils should be taught to describe positions on a 2-D grid as coordinates in the first quadrant. Source: National curriculum in England: mathematics programmes of study (GOV.UK) (Year 4: geometry – position and direction)
In Year 5, pupils should be taught to recognise the per cent symbol (%) and understand that per cent relates to ‘number of parts per 100’. Source: National curriculum in England: mathematics programmes of study (GOV.UK) (Year 5: fractions (including decimals and percentages))
The Year 6 programme of study adds two new areas of mathematics: ratio and proportion, and algebra. Source: National curriculum in England: mathematics programmes of study (GOV.UK) (Year 6 programme of study)
In Year 6, pupils should be taught to interpret and construct pie charts and line graphs and use these to solve problems, and to calculate and interpret the mean as an average. Source: National curriculum in England: mathematics programmes of study (GOV.UK) (Year 6: statistics)

How to use these tests

Choose the year and the topic your child is working on. Practice mode shows the answer after each question; Test mode shows everything at the end.
Read the explanations together for any question that went wrong, then try the test again for a new set of questions.
Teachers can ask pupils for the results code at the end and collect scores on the results page. Nothing is sent to us.
