Most 11+ maths exams include the topics taught on the national

curriculum up to the end of Year 5. Some 11 plus exams include content


taught in early Year 6. 11+ tests are meant to be challenging, so it's
normal for your child to come across questions they're not familiar with.

Key Stage 2 maths covers 8 main topics. These are:

1. Number – number and place value

2. Number – addition and subtraction

3. Number – multiplication and division

4. Number – fractions (including decimals and percentages)

5. Measurement

6. Geometry – properties of shape

7. Geometry – position and direction

8. Statistics

1. Number: number and place value

By the end of Year 5, your child should be able to:

 read, write, order, compare and round numbers up to 1,000,000

 count backwards and forwards with positive and negative numbers


(including through zero)

 count backwards and forwards in steps of 10 for any number up to


1,000,000

 interpret negative numbers in context

 read Roman numerals up to 1,000 (M) and recognise years written


in Roman numerals

2. Number: addition and subtraction

By the end of Year 5, your child should be able to:

 add and subtract numbers mentally, using increasingly larger


numbers

 use formal written methods (columnar addition and subtraction to


add and subtract whole numbers of more than 4 digits
 use rounding to check their answers and work out levels of accuracy
when solving problems

 decide whether to use addition or subtraction when solving multi-


step problems

3. Number – multiplication and division

By the end of Year 5, your child should be able to:

 identify multiples, all the factor pairs of a number, and the common
factors of two numbers

 understand and use the vocabulary of prime numbers, prime factors


and composite numbers

 work out whether a number up to 100 is prime

 recall prime numbers up to 19

 use long multiplication when multiplying numbers up to 4 digits by a


2-digit number

 use short division when dividing numbers up to 4 digits by a 1-digit


number

 solve multiplication and division problems using knowledge of


factors, multiples, squares and cubes

 multiply and divide numbers mentally

 multiply and divide whole numbers, and numbers involving


decimals, by 10, 100 and 1,000

 recognise and use square numbers and cube numbers

 solve problems using multiplication and division, including scaling


by simple fractions, and problems involving simple rates

4. Number – fractions (including decimals and percentages)

By the end of Year 5, your child should be able to:

 compare and order fractions whose denominators are multiples of


the same number

 multiply proper fractions and mixed numbers by whole numbers

 identify, name and write equivalent fractions

 add and subtract fractions with the same denominator(s)

one form to the other

 recognise the per cent symbol (%) and write percentages as a


fraction with the denominator 100, and as a decimal

5. Measurement

By the end of Year 5, your child should be able to:

 convert between different units of metric measure (such as


centimetres and metres, or litres and millilitres)

 use approximate equivalences between metric and imperial units

 measure and calculate the perimeter of rectilinear shapes using


metres and centimetres

 calculate and compare the areas of rectangles

 estimate the area of irregular shapes

 estimate volume

 use standard units, square centimetres and square metres

6. Geometry: properties of shape

By the end of Year 5, your child should be able to:

 identify 3D shapes from 2D representations

 learn how to compare and estimate acute, obtuse and reflex angles

 draw angles and measure them in degrees

 understand rectangle properties to deduce facts and find missing


lengths and angles

 distinguish between regular and irregular polygons

7. Geometry: position and direction

By the end of Year 5, your child should be able to:
