No resources can be used, e.g. no number square, number line, etc. • Paper 2 covers problem solving, reasoning and mathematical fluency, lasts for 35 minutes and is worth 35 marks. The only resource the children can use is a 30cm ruler. • Pupils will still require calculation skills and questions will be varied including multiple choice, matching, true/false, completing a chart or table or drawing a shape.

  16. What can you do to help? Look at the sample tests with your child. Practise similar style questions. Note any areas your child finds difficult and focus on these.

  17. CGP booklets For further practise, you can buy the CGP study books to work through with your child.

  18. What else can you do to help? • First and foremost, support and reassure your child that there is nothing to worry about and that they should always just try their best. Praise and encourage! • Ensure your child has the best possible attendance at school. • Support your child with any homework tasks. • Reading, spelling and arithmetic (e.g. times tables) are always good to practise. • Talk to your child about what they have learnt at school and what book(s) they are reading (the character, the plot, their opinion). • Make sure your child has a good sleep and healthy breakfast every morning!
