11+ Maths Problem-Solving Papers · Pack 2 (Papers 5 to 8)

Four more 60-minute papers of focused practice for the problem-solving questions in 11+ written maths papers, at advanced and stretch level and ending with a mock, with full answer keys and mark schemes.

What these papers are for

These papers give focused practice for the problem-solving part of 11+ written maths papers: the longer questions, usually at the end of the more challenging papers, where a child has to read carefully, decide what to do and work through several steps. They build methodical working and the flexible thinking for these kinds of tricky problems. They suit children who are already secure in Year 6 maths; for practice across the whole syllabus, start with Written Maths or Multiple-Choice Maths.

What's in the pack

Four practice papers that carry on from Pack 1 and become steadily more challenging, two at advanced level and two at stretch level:

• The Chess Club
• The Clockmaker
• The Sailing Regatta
• The Botanic Garden

Each paper has twelve longer problems set in the paper's story. Most problems have parts that build on one another. Paper 8 can be used as a timed mock. No calculator, ruler or protractor allowed.

The answer keys

Every answer comes with the working set out step by step and a mark scheme showing where each mark is earned, with marks for correct working.

Format: PDF, A4, for printing at home, with space for working on every page. The answer keys are at the back and can be removed before the papers are given out.
