Welcome to Mathsmadeeasy.

We have a BIG problem with Maths and Science education in the UK. Internationally we are 27th and 16th respectively in league tables and domestically over 41% of our students failed to achieve maths grade C in 2011. Whilst our competitors have raced ahead we have, in the words of the OECD’s Director of Education, ‘stagnated’.

As they say 'every little helps' and the aim of Mathsmadeeasy is to improve maths achievement in the UK through written resources and coaching.

Key stage 1 & 2

Key learning at school from age 5 to 11 years

SATS (Standard Assessment Tests) tests are given at the end of year 2 and year 6. They are used to show your child's progress compared with other children born in the same month. For KS1, each child is assessed in reading, writing (including spelling and handwriting), maths (including number, shape, space and measurement) and science. For KS2 tests cover the three core subjects, English, Maths and Science.

Key learning at school from age 12 to 14 years

Years 7 to year 9 span the period called key stage 3, culminating in the Maths, English and Science SATs tests. By the age of 14, most children are expected to achieve level 5. These exams are often used to decide which GSCE set your child will be in.
