A major new series of standardised group tests matched to the National Numeracy Strategy and enabling year-on-year progress monitoring throughout the primary school.

The Numeracy Progress Tests mirror the highly popular Reading Progress Tests in providing a baseline assessment plus year-on-year tests for use throughout the primary school. The progression in item content closely follows that of the National Numeracy Strategy Framework for Teaching Mathematics.

The Numeracy Progress Tests can be used separately with selected year groups, but are most informative when used annually to provide an ongoing measure of attainment and progression: they are especially useful for identifying groups or individual children who are making slower - or better - progress than might be expected. The tests' presentation is attractive and motivating to pupils, placing minimal reliance upon reading ability.

For all of the tests, norms are given as standardised scores and numeracy age equivalents based on the performance of 8000 children drawn from a national sample of schools in England and Wales, and as National Curriculum levels.

Stage Two
(for ages 7 to 11) provides a coherent series of group tests suitable for end-of-year monitoring in each of Years 3 to 6, with a carefully controlled progression in content which is consistent with the numeracy elements of the National Curriculum for mathematics.
