11+ Bond maths exam overview

11+ maths papers and tests cover a broad spectrum of maths principles and concepts. They examine how effectively a child can understand and manipulate numbers.

Although 11+ maths exams vary from region to region these are the key topics that your child will be tested on:

  • The ability to think and calculate quickly
  • Sound knowledge of multiplication tables
  • The ability to apply the four number operations (+ - x ÷) accurately
  • A fundamental understanding of number relationships, measurement, mental arithmetic, geometry and data handling

There are two different formats for 11 plus maths exam papers:

11+ maths exam format:

  • Standard format – where children write their answers on the test paper

  • Multiple-choice format – where answers are marked in a separate answer booklet

11+ maths exam papers are timed and usually last between 45-60 minutes. Children should practise with timed 11+ mock test papers, as well as working through non-timed practice, so they can see what they are able to do within a given time frame.

Tips for parents

Here are some ideas for you to try at home with Bond 11+ maths materials in order to help your child prepare for their 11+ maths exam.

Year 4 – check up on basic skills during the summer term and use the summer holidays to:

  • Consolidate times tables and number bonds
  • Practise halving and doubling numbers
  • Become familiar with different types of measurement through activities such as cooking

Year 5 – this is the time to start regular 11+ revision and practice. Support your child by:

  • Establishing a regular routine of practising times tables. Introduce a couple of quiet, uninterrupted sessions a week for practice.
  • Practising maths skills little and often, with an emphasis on quick thinking and rapid feedback. In 11+ maths, children are expected to show dexterity in manipulating numbers and the ability to solve problems of all kinds logically.
  • Focusing on areas of difficulty, consolidating skills and developing time management skills. Your child should be covering all aspects of maths that he or she will need for the 11+ exam at school so focus on these three additional areas at home.
