Keystage: KS2, Year 3

Optional SATs papers were used by teachers in some schools prior to 2016 to assess children's progress at the end of the school year.

Since 2016, a new style of SATs paper has reflected the updated National Curriculum. This download comprises the 'old-style' optional SATs papers, but is still useful for exam practice. It includes all the papers and marking schemes for the Y3 maths optional SATs for 2006.

This pack includes:

Y3 maths SATs 2006 paper 3a (levels 2-3)
Y3 maths SATs 2006 paper 3b (levels 3-4)
Mental maths pupil answer sheet
Mental maths test transcript
Mark scheme, paper 3a
Mark scheme, paper 3b

All the papers and marking materials have been merged into one easy download.

Paper 3a or Paper 3b?

A choice of two test papers is available, depending on your child's ability (some of the questions are the same for both papers). If your Y3 child is working at or below an average level for Year 3 they should complete Paper 3a. If your child is confident about maths and would benefit from an extra challenge they should take Paper 3b. For more about understanding SATs results read our parents' guide.

Testimonials

'My granddaughter is enjoying using TheSchoolRun worksheets and eBooks – they really do make learning fun.'

- Moira, Tring

'Thank you for providing a much-needed service for parents and one which really represented good value for money. I particularly loved your handwriting sections and the ‘Learning Journey’ links that you have created. There are not many services I would pay to subscribe to, and even less I would recommend, but yours is one which I did!'

- Nicola, Aberdeenshire

'I’m not on social media but just wanted to reach out and say I have been recommending you to everyone I know, with kids of course!

Your site has been fantastic. It’s not only teaching my little one things, it’s showing me how things should’ve been done when I was younger. I do wish you were around then, as your content is fantastic and my little boy looks forward to your daily worksheets. Learning definitely made fun.

People are so quick to moan these days, so I wanted to send an email to sing my praises. You’ve helped me become more organised with the schedule of things, but without the pressure I was putting myself under before. We have fun and learn.'

- Katie, Sevenoaks

'I'm finding your site an absolutely fantastic resource alongside the stuff being sent from my son's school. We love being able to keep track of his progress on his Learning Journey checklist!'

- Claire, Kent
