KS1 and KS2 SATs maths papers
This page brings together official SATs maths paper links for both key stages, so you can jump straight to the right stage instead of hunting around GOV.UK first.

A parent-friendly way to use maths papers
- Pick a short section, not a whole paper every time.
- Mark together and name the pattern behind each mistake.
- Turn each pattern into one simple next step.
- Stop while confidence is still high.
If you want the broader stage overview, use KS1 (Year 2) SATs past papers or KS2 (Year 6) SATs past papers.
Use maths papers to find the next small step — not to judge your child’s ability.
