1. Introduction
The Standards and Testing Agency (STA) is responsible for the development and delivery of
statutory tests and assessments. STA is an executive agency of the Department for Education.

The 2019 tests assess the national curriculum. This test has been developed to meet the
specification set out in the test framework1 for mathematics at key stage 1.

A new test and new mark schemes will be produced each year.

The key stage 1 tests will be marked internally within schools to inform teacher assessment.

Scaled score conversion tables are not included in this document. Conversion tables will be
produced as part of the standards maintenance process. Scaled score conversion tables2 for
the 2019 tests will be published in June 2019.

The mark schemes are provided to use when marking pupils’ responses. The pupil examples
are based on responses gathered from the test trialling process. It is important, when marking,
to refer to the general marking principles, the additional guidance and the exemplars section,
to ensure marking is accurate and consistent.

2. Structure of the test


The key stage 1 mathematics test comprises:
• Paper 1: arithmetic (25 marks)
• Paper 2: reasoning (35 marks).

3. Content domain coverage


The 2019 test meets the specification in the test framework. Table 1 sets out the areas of the
content domain that are assessed in Papers 1 and 2.

The references below are taken from the test framework. A question assessing 2M1, for
example, assesses ‘compare and order lengths, mass, volume/capacity and record the results
using >, < and =’ and is taken from the year 2 programme of study.

4. Explanation of the mark schemes


Those marking the tests should familiarise themselves with the marking guidance in section 5
of this document before applying the mark schemes.

The practice questions are not marked as they are completed by the pupils together with the
test administrator as an introduction to the test.

The marking information for each question is set out in the form of tables (sections 7 and 8).

The ‘Qu.’ column on the left-hand side of each table provides a quick reference to the question
number and part.

The ‘Requirement’ column may include two types of information:


• a statement of the requirements for the award of each mark, with an indication of whether
partial credit can be given for a correct method
• examples of some different types of correct answer.

The ‘Mark’ column indicates the total number of marks available for each question part.

The ‘Additional guidance’ column indicates alternative acceptable answers, and provides
details of specific types of answer that are unacceptable. Other guidance, such as the range of
acceptable answers, is provided as necessary.

5. General marking guidance


5.1 Applying the mark schemes
To ensure consistency of marking, the most frequent procedural queries are listed in Table 2,
along with the action you should take. Unless otherwise specified in the mark scheme, you
should apply these guidelines in all cases.

Example responses are also included in section 9 for the two working mark questions in
Paper 2: reasoning. These should act as your guide when you are marking these questions.

5.2 General marking principles

Possible issues when marking

7. More than one answer If all provided answers are correct (or a range of
is given. answers is given, all of which are correct), a mark
will be awarded unless the mark scheme states
otherwise. If both correct and incorrect responses
are given, no mark will be awarded unless the mark
scheme states otherwise.

8. There appears to be a A misread occurs when a pupil misreads a number


misread of numbers that given in the question and consistently uses a different
affects the pupil’s working. number that does not alter the original intention or
difficulty of the question. For example, if 43 is misread
as 48, both numbers may be regarded as comparable
in difficulty. However, if 43 is misread as 40 or 45,
the misread number may be regarded as making
the question easier, depending on the question. For
example, 26 + 40 is easier than 26 + 48. The misread
of a number will affect the award of marks.
No marks are awarded if there is more than one
misread in a question or if the mathematics is
simplified by the misread.
For 1-mark questions: no mark is awarded for one or
more misreads.
For 2-mark questions that have a method mark:
one mark is awarded if the correct method is correctly
implemented with the misread number, provided this
does not simplify the mathematics.

9. The answer is numerically Answers should be given as single values in their


equivalent to the answer in simplest form unless the mark scheme states
the mark scheme. otherwise, e.g. for = 12 − 5, the answer 4 + 3 will
not be accepted. Where alternative expressions are
acceptable, these will be indicated in the additional
guidance column.

10. The pupil reverses a digit A reversed digit is acceptable if it is clearly


in their answer. recognisable as the digit intended. For example, a
reversed 2 must clearly show the characteristics of
a 2 rather than a 5.

As a further example, where the answer is 61 and the


response is given, then this should be awarded
the mark.

You should make a decision based upon your


knowledge of the pupil’s writing.

2019 key stage 1 mathematics test mark schemes

Possible issues when marking

11. The pupil transposes digits A pupil transposes digits by reversing their order,
in their answer. for example, 83 instead of 38.

For questions where no working is shown, an answer


with transposed digits should not be awarded the
mark. For example, a response of 16 or when the
answer is 61 should not be marked as correct.

12. The pupil has worked out A transcription error can occur when the pupil

Give precedence to the answer given in the answer
box over any other workings. There may be cases
where the incorrect answer is a transcription error,
in which case you may check the pupil’s intention
and decide whether to award the mark(s).

13. The answer correctly ‘Follow through’ marks for an answer may only be

6. Internal moderation procedures


We recommend those who are involved in marking the key stage 1 tests undertake moderation
activity to ensure marking is consistent across their school.

2019 key stage 1 mathematics test mark schemes

7. Mark schemes for Paper 1: arithmetic


Equivalent answers are not acceptable, for example, 10 + 4 instead of 14. When marking the arithmetic questions,
refer specifically to general marking principles 9, 10, 11 and 12. No misreads are allowed for 1-mark questions.

9. Example responses
9.1 Examples of responses from question 29

Sasha: 1 mark Hassan: 1 mark

1 1
Sasha and Hassan have recorded the same incorrect answer in the answer box.
In her working, Sasha has shown a complete, correct method with an arithmetic error. Although her final
answer is incorrect, she is awarded one mark for the complete, correct method.
Hassan, in comparison, has only provided a partial method. He has correctly added Sita’s and Ben’s
chocolate chips, but has not subtracted that total from 100. Although his method is not complete, he is
awarded one mark for a partial method correctly evaluated.

Alex: 1 mark Joanna: 0 marks

1 0

Alex and Joanna have both used a number line as part of their method.
In his method, Alex first subtracts 25g from 100g to get 75g. He then attempts to subtract 35g from 75g and
makes an arithmetic error. Although he has given an incorrect final answer, he can be awarded one mark for
a complete, correct method.
In contrast, Joanna’s method cannot be considered complete or correct as there is no indication that she is
subtracting either Ben’s or Sita’s chocolate chips, so no marks are awarded.

Page 20 of 24
2019 key stage 1 mathematics test mark schemes

9.1 Examples of responses from question 29 (continued)

Katie: 1 mark Luke: 0 marks

1 0
Katie and Luke have both recorded an incorrect answer of 50 in the answer box.
In her working, Katie has shown a partial step of correctly evaluating the sum of 25 and 35 and is awarded
one mark for sight of 60.
Luke’s working, in contrast, shows no evidence of a correctly evaluated partial step or a complete correct
method and therefore is awarded no marks.

Priya: 1 mark Jude: 0 marks

1 0

Both Priya and Jude have used a pictorial method to obtain an answer.
Priya has correctly drawn 100 chocolate chips, and crossed out 25 chocolate chips from one end and 35
from the other. However, she miscounts her remaining chocolate chips, giving her an incorrect answer of 42.
She is awarded one mark for a complete, correct method.
Although Jude has correctly recorded 10 marks representing 100 chocolate chips, he has only subtracted 50
chocolate chips and not 60. His method is therefore not correct and he is awarded no marks.

Page 21 of 24
2019 key stage 1 mathematics test mark schemes

9.2 Examples of responses from question 32

Nathan: 2 marks Staci: 1 mark

2 1
In their methods, both Nathan and Staci have provided methods with their final answers.
Nathan initially wrote 70(p) as his final answer but he crossed that response out and replaced it with the
correct answer of 20(p). Therefore, he is awarded two marks for the correct answer.
Staci, in her method, multiplied 35 by 2 to obtain 70 and shows the intention to subtract that answer from 90.
Although her final answer is incorrect, Staci is awarded one mark for showing a complete, correct method.

Lauren: 1 mark Jason: 0 marks

1 0

Lauren and Jason have both provided an incorrect answer but have used pictorial methods.
Lauren has drawn 90 circles to represent 90p and even though she crossed off 70 circles, she then
miscounted resulting in an error in her final answer. She is awarded one mark for a complete correct method.
In contrast, Jason has not drawn 90 circles and although he has crossed off 35 of these, he cannot be
awarded a mark for a correctly evaluated partial method as he has not written down 55 (or 70) either in his
working or as his final answer. Therefore, he is awarded no marks.

Page 22 of 24
2019 key stage 1 mathematics test mark schemes

9.2 Examples of responses from question 32 (continued)

Parker: 1 mark Gwen: 1 mark

1 1
Parker and Gwen have both provided the same incorrect final answer and have included their methods.
Although Parker has only evaluated the first step, he has shown a complete and correct method, therefore he
is awarded one mark.
Gwen has only shown her method for the first step, which she has correctly evaluated using partitioning.
Although her method is not complete, she is awarded one mark for a correctly evaluated partial method.

Sandeep: 1 mark Bethany: 0 marks

1 0

Sandeep and Bethany have both given incorrect final answers with a partial method.
Sandeep has not recorded all aspects of his method and has arrived at the incorrect answer of 15(p). There is
no written evidence of a complete, correct method. However, he is awarded one mark for sight of 55 in
his working as this implies that he has correctly evaluated a partial method (90 − 35).
Bethany has shown a correct partial method of 35 subtracted from 90. However, as she has not correctly
evaluated this step, she is awarded no marks.
