Y6 Maths Sats

[ihearttc]

DS1 was up until the end of Y5 a level 6B in Maths...they still gave the NC levels on the report at the end of the summer term even though they had been scrapped.

He did his Mock Sats last week and got the results on Friday and has been stressing the entire weekend about how badly he thinks he has done. As far as I can understand from him it was one paper in particular he found really difficult. Does anyone know how the marking system goes yet just so I can give him some indication of how he did?

He apparently got 32 on the Arithmetic Paper but didn't finish it, 33 on Reasoning Paper 3 and then 24 on Reasoning Paper 2 which was the one he found really hard. Think that makes 89 in total.

I know its no indicator of what will happen in the real ones but he has always found maths relatively easy so its come as a bit of a shock to him.

My dc was in the 3rd set out of 5 until xnas in Y10 when he moved up to set 2.He is now in Y13 and holds an offer to read maths at Cambridge.
Setting has to be fluid because children do not develop in a linear predictable way

Fair enough - I acknowledge that my perception may be slightly skewed as I worked in the sen end of the school so most children had statements etc so fairly unusual for them to be way out. Although 2 moves a year is still pretty difficult for teachers to accommodate especially for more that one set up or down because of the increased chances in missed topics
