We know how important it is to make an assessment of children's abilities early on in the year, to find out what they already know, where they might need extra support or an additional challenge. This is why we've created this Year 3 Baseline Maths Assessment resource. In this pack, we've included a list of year 2 objectives and matched them to each question, a ready-to-use assessment for the children and a spreadsheet to record the outcomes on. Our assessment covers all curriculum areas, which makes it an ideal resource for the start of the year.

This baseline assessment is designed to be used by individual learners. It can be used at the start and the end of term, as a way to assess progress. This is where our analysis tool comes in handy. It will show the progress made by each child once filled in. You can also use this to create ability groups, or pair children up into learning partners. The choice is yours!
