In Maths There are 3 papers
Arithmetic (mental Maths, using only number)Reasoning 1 & 2
They are heavily weighted toward the written methods of long division & multiplication, which children must master.
Children need to have mastered mental addition, subtraction, multiplication & division as they will only have a minute or less per question.
