Start the new academic year with a clear understanding of pupils’ mathematical starting points with this comprehensive Year 3 and Year 4 Maths Baseline Assessment Bundle.

This bundle combines complete beginning-of-year maths baseline resources for Year 3 and Year 4, designed to identify what pupils have retained from the previous year, highlight misconceptions and gaps, and help teachers make informed decisions about planning, intervention and challenge from the very start of the year.

Rather than simply producing an overall test score, these assessments are designed as diagnostic tools, allowing teachers to identify strengths and areas for development across key mathematical strands.

Two complete Maths baseline assessments included
Year 3 Maths Baseline Assessment
Year 4 Maths Baseline Assessment

The assessments focus primarily on the mathematical knowledge pupils should have secured before entering their new year group, making them ideal for September assessment, transition information and establishing beginning-of-year starting points.

**Mathematical areas assessed
**
Across the two assessments, pupils are assessed in areas including:

Number and Place Value
Addition and Subtraction
Multiplication and Division
Arithmetic and Fluency
Fractions
Measurement
Geometry and Position
Statistics
Mathematical Reasoning
Problem Solving

Questions include a combination of fluency, reasoning and application so teachers can see not only whether pupils can calculate accurately, but also whether they can apply and explain their mathematical understanding.

Comprehensive teacher resources

The packs include supporting materials designed to take teachers from assessment through to analysis and next steps, including:

Teacher Administration Guides
Ready-to-print Student Assessment Booklets
Detailed Teacher Mark Schemes
Diagnostic guidance
Worked exemplification
Intervention guidance linked to assessment outcomes
National Curriculum objective mapping
SEND / accessible assessment versions
Inclusive assessment guidance
Parent communication resources
Excel assessment trackers

From assessment to action

Use the results to:

establish reliable beginning-of-year starting points
identify gaps in prior learning
highlight individual and whole-class misconceptions
identify weaker mathematical strands
plan targeted intervention
group pupils according to specific needs
recognise pupils ready for additional challenge
inform first-term planning
support transition and pupil progress discussions
provide useful evidence for Maths and phase leaders

The intervention guidance helps teachers move directly from a pupil’s assessment performance to focused teaching priorities, reducing the need to analyse every question and create intervention plans from scratch.

SEND / accessible versions included

Accessible pupil versions are included to reduce unnecessary barriers while maintaining the intended mathematical demand. Clearer layouts, increased spacing and additional response space help pupils demonstrate their understanding without changing what is being assessed.

Ideal for
Year 3 teachers
Year 4 teachers
Lower KS2 teams
Maths subject leaders
Phase leaders
Teaching assistants
Transition and beginning-of-year assessment
Schools following the National Curriculum for England

A practical Lower KS2 Maths assessment bundle that provides much more than two tests. Assess pupils, identify their needs and move directly into informed planning, targeted intervention and appropriate challenge.

Two year groups. Two complete diagnostic assessment systems. One ready-to-use Lower KS2 Maths baseline bundle.
