How To Do KS2 Maths SATs Type Questions
(Paper A – Calculator Not Allowed)
In a SATs Paper A you might be asked to continue a sequence that uses negative numbers:
For example: Amy makes a sequence of numbers starting with 350She subtracts 150 each time.Write the next 2 numbers in Amy’s sequence.
50350 200
For example: Amy makes a sequence of numbers starting with 350She subtracts 150 each time.Write the next 2 numbers in Amy’s sequence.
50350 200
To work out the next number in the sequence you need to take away 50 to get to zero
For example: Amy makes a sequence of numbers starting with 350She subtracts 150 each time.Write the next 2 numbers in Amy’s sequence.
50350 200
To work out the next number in the sequence you need to take away 50 to get to zero and then another 100 to take you to -100
For example: Amy makes a sequence of numbers starting with 350She subtracts 150 each time.Write the next 2 numbers in Amy’s sequence.
50 -100350 200
To work out the next number in the sequence you need to take away 50 to get to zero and then another 100 to take you to -100
For example: Amy makes a sequence of numbers starting with 350She subtracts 150 each time.Write the next 2 numbers in Amy’s sequence.
50 -100350 200
To work out the next number in the sequence you need to take away 50 to get to zero and then another 100 to take you to -100From there you subtract a further 150 to take you to -250
For example: Amy makes a sequence of numbers starting with 350She subtracts 150 each time.Write the next 2 numbers in Amy’s sequence.
50 -100350 200 -250
To work out the next number in the sequence you need to take away 50 to get to zero and then another 100 to take you to -100From there you subtract a further 150 to take you to -250
Example 2: Katy makes a sequence of numbers starting with 200She subtracts 75 each time.Write the next 2 numbers in Katy’s sequence.
50200 125
Example 2: Katy makes a sequence of numbers starting with 200She subtracts 75 each time.Write the next 2 numbers in Katy’s sequence.
50200 125
To work out the next number in the sequence you need to take away 50 to get to zero
Example 2: Katy makes a sequence of numbers starting with 200She subtracts 75 each time.Write the next 2 numbers in Katy’s sequence.
50200 125
To work out the next number in the sequence you need to take away 50 to get to zero and then another 25 to take you to -25
Example 2: Katy makes a sequence of numbers starting with 200She subtracts 75 each time.Write the next 2 numbers in Katy’s sequence.
50 -25200 125
To work out the next number in the sequence you need to take away 50 to get to zero and then another 25 to take you to -25
Example 2: Katy makes a sequence of numbers starting with 200She subtracts 75 each time.Write the next 2 numbers in Katy’s sequence.
50 -25200 125
To work out the next number in the sequence you need to take away 50 to get to zero and then another 25 to take you to -25From there you subtract a further 75 to take you to -100
Example 2: Katy makes a sequence of numbers starting with 200She subtracts 75 each time.Write the next 2 numbers in Katy’s sequence.
50 -25200 125 -100
To work out the next number in the sequence you need to take away 50 to get to zero and then another 25 to take you to -25From there you subtract a further 75 to take you to -100
