The Key Stage 2 Maths series covers mathematical technique for SATs, GL Assessment and CEM 11+ exams, CATs, the Northern Ireland Transfer Test, Common Entrance and scholarship examinations for independent schools, and all other styles of mathematical test, and is designed for pupils working above the national standard. This series of books is designed to be used in sequence from Workbook 1 onwards. Each technique has a clear explanation over several pages which is well presented with excellent use of diagrams. A worked example is followed by plenty of practice questions. Answers, Progress Charts and a Certificate of Achievement are included at the end of every book. The pages within the books are usefully coded, showing mathematical information that should be understood, techniques that should be mastered and exercises that should be practised. The explanations match up with the practice questions through the colour coding.This really helps with progressive learning. All AE materials have been rigorously classroom tested and the material covers all the requirements of the National Curriculum. The methodologies have been successfully used in AE Tuition classes for over 20 years. The books are really well laid out and with eight books covering material for Years 3 and 4 (ages 7 - 9), parents can be reassured that their child is really covering the topics as fully as possible. As well as supporting work done at school, the books are also excellent for home educators, with their clear explanations of the topics to support learning and understanding. It's also good to see high production values, making the books appealing in appearance (especially the bright colours) and enjoyable to use. The books, including the two Testbooks, can be bought as a good value bundle directly from AE.
These testbooks are designed to be used alongside the Workbooks reviewed below and are a natural progression from the books listed and reviewed above. The progressive tests give extra practice to support the Workbooks. There are 36 in all. Please don't feel constrained by the 15 minutes suggested for each test - children will naturally speed up as they gain confidence, and that confidence will come from stradily working through the tests. These tests extend children's learning beyond their expected age-related National Curriculum standard but please don't push your child beyond the level they are ready to work at. The testbook provides practice for SATs, GL Assessment and CEM 11+ exams, CATs, the Northern Ireland Transfer Test, Common Entrance and scholarship examinations for independent schools, and all other styles of mathematical test. The testbooks are designed to be used in conjunction with the KS2 Maths workbooks as an additional learning tool. After completion, the maths testpack should be used for final exam preparation. Answers, Progress Charts and a Certificate of Achievement are included at the end of the book. Follow this book with KS2 Maths Year 4/5 Testbook 2: Standard 15 Minute Tests.
