3. 2018 SATs: Week beginning 14th-17th May
In the summer term 2018, children at the end of Key Stage 2 will sit their SATs papers.
As you are probably aware, SATs have been overhauled in both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 to reflect the changes to the National Curriculum, which was introduced from September 2014.
New frameworks have been released in September 2017 with more adaptions to the assessment process.

4. The tests will cover the same areas: Spelling, punctuation and grammar
This will be the third cohort to sit these new “type” of SATs. Why are they different?
As well as reflecting the changes in the new National Curriculum, the new tests are intended to be more rigorous. There will also be a completely new marking scheme to replace the existing National Curriculum levels.
The tests will cover the same areas:
Maths
Reading
Spelling, punctuation and grammar

5. The New National Curriculum – Mathematics Test Framework

The New National Curriculum – Mathematics Test Framework

6. National Curriculum Aims
The National Curriculum for mathematics aims to ensure:
All pupils develop mathematical fluency –
become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, including through varied and frequent practice with increasingly complex problems over time, so that pupils have conceptual understanding and are able to recall and apply their knowledge rapidly and accurately to problems
All pupils can reason mathematically
following a line of enquiry, conjecturing relationships and generalisations, and developing an argument, justification or proof using mathematical language
There is an emphasis on problem-solving throughout, making connections across mathematical ideas and applying knowledge in other subject areas.
can solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of routine and non-routine problems –

7. Mark Distribution – by Paper40 40 70

8. Was 61 marks in 2016 for expected!

9. Papers 1- 3 – Responses (i)
Paper 1 (arithmetic) will be comprised of constructed response questions, presented as context-free calculations.
The majority of the arithmetic calculations will be worth one mark, however, two marks will be available for long multiplication and long division.
Papers 1- 3 – Responses (i)

10. Responses (ii)
Papers 2 and 3
Mathematical problems presented in a wide range of formats to ensure children can fully demonstrate mathematical fluency, solving problems and reasoning.
Will include both selected response and constructed response questions.

11. Papers 2- 3 – Question Formats
Formats include:
Multiple choice
Matching
True–false
Constrained questions, where children are required to provide a single or best answer.
Less constrained questions, where children are required to communicate their approach to evaluating a statement or problem.
Questions in Papers 2 and 3 comprise both those presented in context and out of context.
Up to 50 per cent of marks across these papers will be set in context.

12. The Arithmetic Paper
Children will be expected to complete both mental and written calculations, using all four number operations, as well as fractions, decimals and percentage questions.
In some cases it will be more appropriate to answer a calculation with a mental strategy or jotting. In others, a column or standard method would be preferable.
Although there is no longer a mental arithmetic paper, it is suggested in the guidance that Year 6 children are given regular opportunities to complete simple and more complicated calculations mentally. This will improve their mathematical reasoning, number sense and speed of recall.

13. Sample Question 3 – Arithmetic Paper

14. Sample Test - Basic addition or subtraction – Column or mental?

15. Sample Test – Long Multiplication (4 digit x 2 digit) – Column?

16. Sample Test – Long Multiplication (4 digit x 2 digit) – Column?

17. Sample Test – Long Division (4 digit  2 digit) – Formal

25. READING TEST

26. The Reading Test – what does it test?
8 ‘Content domains’ (these replace the old assessment foci)
2a: Give/ explain the meaning of words in context. 10 marks*
2b: Retrieve and record information/ identify key details from fiction and non-fiction. 14 marks
2c: Summarise main ideas from more than one paragraph. 2 marks
2d: Make inferences from the text/ explain and justify inferences with evidence from the text. 22 marks
2e: Predict what might happen from details stated and implied. 0
2f: Identify / explain how information / narrative content is related and contributes to meaning as a whole. 1 mark
2g: Identify/ explain how meaning is enhanced through choices of words and phrases. 1 mark
2h: Make comparisons within the text. 0 marks
*in 2017 test, 50 marks in total

27. How many papers? The reading test will be a single paper
Your child will have one hour, including reading time, to complete the test.
There will questions of increasing difficulty, with a selection of question types.
Read a section at a time and answer questions.

28. What kind of questions?
Ranking/ordering, e.g. ‘Number the events below to show the order in which they happen in the story’
Labeling, e.g. ‘Label the text to show the title of the story’

29. Short constructed response, e.g. ‘What does the bear eat?’
Other types…….
Find and copy, e.g. ‘Find and copy one word that suggests what the weather is like in the story’. ‘Find and copy a group of words that show….’
Short constructed response, e.g. ‘What does the bear eat?’

30. Open-ended response, e. g
Open-ended response, e.g. ‘Look at the sentence that begins Once upon a time. How does the writer increase the tension throughout this paragraph? Explain fully, referring to the text in your answer.’
Explain how the descriptions of the iguanodons in this paragraph support the idea that they were both inoffensive and brutes.
Based on what you have read, what does the last paragraph suggest might happen to the explorers next?

31. Marks 26 MARKS FOR EXPECTED IN 2017 21 MARKS IN 2016
The paper will be scored out of 50, as it always has been.
Note: there will be no extension (i.e. Level 6 equivalent) paper.
