New PUMA

 

What's new about New PUMA?

  • Standardised in 2019/20/21 on over 10,000 pupils
  • Papers work alongside Mathematics Mastery and other popular schemes, meaning that results reflect the curriculum pupils are being taught
  • Increased number of marks in the Year 2 Spring and Summer papers enables fuller diagnostic profiling at the end of KS1
  • Increased number of harder problem-solving questions and marks added to each KS2 test, resulting in a gradual increase in test demand
  • Balanced tests each term, building on previous years’ curriculum in Autumn and Spring and ensuring all maths skills and strands are tested each time
  • All papers are in full colour, making them engaging
  • Revised question order, with arithmetic questions first, followed by number questions, then reasoning. This better reflects the National Test structure and gives enhanced practice
  • More space for answers provides more room for pupils when working out complex problems
  • Comes with diagnostic profiling to inform teaching and learning
