DD2 is in year 6 and getting really stressed about maths SATs. We have had a number of conversations with her teacher who are adamant that she has nothing to worry about. She is the second most able group, knows her times tables, can do long division, fractions etc pretty confidently.
But the marks she is getting in practise tests really don't sound good and it is bothering her (and also me, if I'm honest!)
I know this year's tests are much harder so it's really hard to know what to think. I'd be really interested to hear from any year 6 teachers whether there ANY indication of the sorts of marks that are likely to be classed as "acceptable" and what sort of range children are generally achieving in whatever practise papers are out there.
(NB it is only maths that I'm interested in. Strangely enough she seems to find fronted adverbials a piece of cake!)
